LOOK IN THE GLASS.

If you feel grouchy and out of sorts
and the world seems warped and
twisted from all viewpoints, look in
the glass. Your own reflection will
set you thinking and wondering if
perhaps it is not you instead of the
world that is warped.
When something goes wrong and
you feel like cussing or kicking the
cat there is nothing quite so eta
cious as looking in a glass. You see
yourself as you are and not as per-
haps you think you are. All of your
hard lines and your i'll humor are
reflected by the faithful glass, and
the moment fleeting smile begins
to creep over your face the glass will
magnify it and glorify it until in

ting entirely your i'll humor and will
be smiling from the pure JOY of liv-
ing.

ANOTHER DUTY OF THE
INDIAN DEPARTMENT

Having now applied the lid to
every town in the territory covered
by the Indian treaty of 1855 and with
the lid in force in all except those
towns that have secured a stay
through the injunction proceedings,
which will probably be only temper
ment at Washington faces a new sit
uation in the enforcement of the
treaty provisions. It is one thing to
order the lid on and it is another
to see that it remains on. What prob
lens the Indian department faces in
this regard it is not hard to imagine.
In a large portion of the territory
where the Indian lid has been ap-
piled, public sentiment is not behind
it to degree that insures there will
be strict enforcement of the law. But
the duty is not alone that of the In
dian department. Here is test for
those good citizens who profess to
believe that the Indian lid is real
benefit. They should assist the de-
partment in every way possible and
they should organize, as some of them
are discussing, enforcement leagues
There will be law violation. That
is inevitable and it follows action of
this kind quite naturally. How
ever, the law can be enforced. Moth
ing will do the department such an
injustice and nothing will arouse
for it in the Indian country so much
criticism as, lax law enforcement.
The department has before it con-
siderable task. It is intimated that
within short time it will begin ap-
plying the lid to new territory under
another Indian treaty. It would be
better to be sure that the treaty pro-
visions were enforced in the territory
already closed before this is under-
