INDIANS ARE DIVIDED
ON SELF-COVERNMENT
Expression Of Opinion to Secretary
Lane Shows All Seek Broader
Instruction, However.

A large majority of Indians believe
that they should be given their property
and made independent Of the Indian bu-
reau of the government.
This expression of opinion was devel-
oped by Secretary Lane of the Interior
Department. II was announced today, as
the result of letters to representative In
dianS throughout the country asking
them questions concerning phases of the
Indian problem. The letters were sent
to three Indians at each of the more than
a hundred reservations and agencies, the
men addressed being the most intelligent
and progressive members of the race The
questions asked were:
DO YOU think it would be a good thing
for You to have Your property and be in
dependent of the Indian bureau?
What reasons have you for thinking
SO?
What one thing should the govern
ment do for the Indians it is not now
doing?
While a large majority of the 275 who
responded answered the first question in
the affirmative. great difference of opin-
ion developed among the writer's as to
what proportion of the various tribes are
ready for immediate citizenship and in
dependence. and as to what the govern
ments policy should be toward those not
prepared for citizenship
Evening star., 1914-04-20
Nearly All Seek instruction.

In answer to the third question asked
BY Secretary Lane. the unanimity of
opinion expressed is remarkable. Practi-
cally all of the writers say. in effect, that
the government should do more to teach
the Indians practical and scientific meth
DDS of farming and stockraising. One
Indian from Minnesota pleads that the
Indian bureau should do for the Indians
Of that state what the state government
is doing for white farmers in instruction
and demonstration.
An important portion of the writers
protest against the segregation of Indian
children in Indian schools. declaring that
the present system of education teaches
the young Indians only the language and
vices of white civilization. and urges that
the Indian children be educated in the
public schools. where they will come INTO
close contact with white children.
Evening star., 1914-04-20
Views Expressed by Indians.

In general the answers TO the first and
second questions may be classified into
three groups:
Those who urge that the only possible
solution of the Indian problem is to let
each Indian solve it for himself The
Indians who express this view are gen
orally the younger. educated and more
progressive men, who deprecate a con-
tinuance of the old tribal laws and cus-
toms.
Those who take the opposite view and
urge that Indians are Indians and al
ways must remain SO: that they do not
want citizenship. but desire TO continue
as wards of-the nation. and that to force
them to adopt white civilization would
mean the determination of the race.
Those who express the hope of eventual
civilization and full citizenship for all
Indians. but maintain that immediate
citizenship generally would be bad for
the Indians. 1t is urged by those who
take this view that Indians are not capa-
BILE of competing with white men. and If
forced to rely upon their own resources
would be disseminated against indus
trally and politically

CHECK ON USE OF OPIUM
IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Gen. Mcintyre Reports Consumption
of Drug by Natives Is Almost
Suppressed.

Consumption of opium among the
F'ilpinos has been completely checked.
if not entirely eradicated, says report
today to Brig. Gen. Mcintyre. chief of
the bureau of insular affairs. from the
collector of internal revenue in the
Philippines. He declares that as re-
suit of the laws which were passed on
the subject 1.-The use of opium is now
confined to comparatively small num-
ber of confirmed users of the drug,
practically all of whom are Chinese,
who cannot give UP the vice and will
go any length to obtain it.
Reduced to Small Percentage.
While there are in many parts of the
islands scattering instances where Fill
pinos still indulge in the use OF opium.
it is reported that less than per cent
of the former Filipino users. who had
numbered 10000 in 1906. were still vic
tins of the vice in 1911, and that since
then the situation in Manila has great
ly improved. Conditions in the provinces
are said to be fairly satisfactory.
1T is perhaps too much" the report
says, Ito expect that the opium eyid will
ever be absolutely suppressed In the
Philippine Islands. 1t may be said, how
Chinese users of opium in any Of its
forms are today using very much
smaller amount than that used by the
same persons few years ago.
Evidence Found in Hospitals.
This is shown by the comparative
ease with which Chinese users sent to
the hospital today are cured The only
hope of approXimating total suppression
lies in making indulgence in the habit
SO difficult that the younger generation
will not acquire it. and in this direction
the progress made has certainly been
most satisfactory.
