Must Not Whistle In Russia.

In certain cities OF Russia street
whistling by civilians is a penal OF
fense. the privilege being reserved
for the police; who exercise 1t, how
ever, not in order to make tunes with
their mouths. but to send signal blasts
to each other. The whistling habit
being hereditary, It soon disappears
and in these cities no difficulty is ex.
perienced in dealing nowadays with
the few who offend.

MllIonalre's Business Maxlms.

The late Philip d. Armour was
great believer In action. Often when
his hog buyers were inclined to hold
off for a few days for prices to come
down, he would exclaim; THE time
to buy these hogs is when these hogs
are here At the same time his at
titude with his selling agents would
be expressed in the following words:
The time to do business is when you
see a margin OF profit"

Many persons pass their lives on
TIE edge Of an enterprise which they
never truly begin; they study guide
books and learn the experiences Of
others who have pioneered, but they
do nothing themselves except ponder
about the cost. All this is waste and
has nothing but waste as its result.
Better to make false start than to
60 nowhere.

SCHEME TO PkUPERIZE?

The amendment of Congressman
Charley Carter to the Indian appro-
priation bill for a consolidation Of
the Muskogee Indian offices is meet
ing Just the same devious character
of opposition as have all efforts OF
congress to straighten out the con-
dition of Indian affairs in Oklahoma.
1t is understood that the Board OF
Indian Commissioners and others ap-
peared before the president OF the
United States and asked him to take
a hand, which he refused to do.
That these same forces are now ap-
pealing A. the metropolitan press
of the east Sas they did two years
ago, is evidenced by letters coming
TO leading members in congress in
fluential in Indian legislation from
the editors and publishers OF these
papers. A sample Of these COM
munications is one just received by
Congressman John II. Stephens,
chairman of the house committee on
Indian affairs, from Ernest II. Abb
bott. editor of the outlook maya
zine, from which the following quo
tation is made
I'VE have received letter stating
that the Oklahoma Indians, with a
few exceptions, are in danger OF
being pauperized, that some of the
best men in the Indian service are
being removed, ana that the present
situation in Oklahoma with regard
to the Indian is critical. Are there
any facts in your possession which
will guide us at arriving at the
truth of this matter?'
1t is evident that this letter has
been inspired by Indian officials
sought to be changed, and their
friends Chairman stephens re-
sronded as follows:

Very truly yours,
(Signed) JOHN H. STEPHENS,
Chairman.
The fight which Congressman Car
ter is making TO consolidate the
Muskogee offices is not a personal
fight directed against J. George
Wright and Dana II. Kelsey, neither
is the fight inspired by politics. The
Indians themselves are supporting
Mr.. Carter, they want the red tape
taken away from Indian affairs, they
want a settlement Of their business
with the United States, they feel
they never can get set
clement as long as conditions re-
main as they are now. They want
a change. they want fewer offices,
they want fewer men to deal with,
they want the money that is due
them to improve their farms, they
want their estates put where they
can be made of service. The In
dian has been pauperized by the
DELAYS of the government. The In
dian has lands which he cannot I'M
prove and which he cannot SELL
and he feels the lands are worth
less. He has money to his credit
in the United States treasury when
the government in a treaty supula-
tion agreed to pay out to him every
wear. The government failed to 90
its part The money due did not
come. The Indian is discouraged
The Indian has been looking to the
federal officials for his sustenance'
as long as he is kept dependent just
that long is he a pauper. Ihe IN
dian can be taught self reliance
He is a good farmer, he trades we'll
he possesses a great deal more IN
telligence- than the Indian sentiment
aIists give him credit for. The hand
that has pauperized the Indian Is
the hand of the feIeral government
in false ideas of protection. Turn
tho Indian loose and he will show
to the world that he has the Draln
and the. energy TO succeed.
