THE INDIAN.

Apropos OF Gen. Scott's speech at a
, banquet in Salt Lake, where he ex-
tolled certain virtues of Indians, among
them truth, faithfuness to their
spoken word ANA a keen sense of JUS
tice, Il may lie said that the rough-and-
ready philosophy Of frontlersmen that
the only good Indian is a dead Indian
cost two races a great deal of innocent
b,ood between Plymouth Rock and the
Rocky mountains.
That Gen. Scott went unarmed into
~ camp Of the alleged outlaw of the
lalte tribe and brought him and mem
hers CT his band into civilizations
camp unguarded, after a marshalB
rasse had given the band unavaillng
battle, is a striking incident, signifi.
cant illustration.
1t has been unfortunate for the In.
dians. and unfortunate for the whites,
that there have been so few men OF
Gen. Scotts type. to deal with the abo-
rigines The manner in which they
were dealt with was perhaps the best
shift that could be made in the cir
cumstances The invading foreigners
could not muster into service sociolo-
gists and students of Indian character.
But there are few reviewers of the
history Of the conquest of the conti-
nent who do not admit that Indian
i~eaChery" is term that might be
flung back by the surviving Indians
with a slight Amendment, making it
apply to the conqueror
Among the army officers who have
served in Indian wars there are sew
eral who pay tribute to the IGdian vlr-
tues which Gen. Scott recognizes, ex-
pands upon and celebrates. A part
of the literature of our relations with
the first families of America is the tes-
timony of officers who, like Gen. Scott,
have found Indian leaders as honest
as white leaders, and Indian outbreaks
often, though not always, traceable to
causes not creditable to their white
neighbors. Only a few of the many
officers who have known the Indian
as an enemy and as friend have been
inclined to write about him There are,
no doubt, many who have left no rec.
ord OF their impressions, but who could
have substantiated what has been said
in f. vor of Lo by the officers who
have made him the theme OF books. =

] SUBSCRIPTIONS RATEs:
PENSIONS FOR MOTHERS.

In the midst of the multitude oi
measures which came before the legis
.ature ut the last session, probably the
most of us were unable to keep the
score and hence we have overlooked
many important laws enacted One
piece of constructive legislation which
is worthy of particular notice end
which merits commentator is the
mothers pension act. A Dallas News
writer explains the provisions Of the
new law and comments on 1t as fol
lows:
Oklahoma's law for pensioning moth
ers of young children whose husbands
are dead, insane or prisoners, is in
line with the laws Of a number o.
states. The object Of the bill is to
Keep families together and thus to
avoid the blighting influences Of asy-
lums and homes. This. in the opinion
of Senator Charles f. Barrett, author
of the bill, was the best argument for
it, and the cause of its passage.
The bill provides that county excise
boards shall make a levy to produce
not to exceed $4,000 year for the pen
sion fund. and that it shall be paid 70
mothers OF children who come within
the purview OF the law, and the pay
ment of which will serve to hold the
family together. rhe payments to be
made are $40 a month to the first
child under IA years of age; to each
addition cAila the sum OF S. month.
This law win not mean the aban-
donment OF the asylums and home for
dependent children, timt it IS step to
that end; It is the beginning of sys-
TEN OF home care tor such children.
Many states arc abandoning the whole
system of asylums for dependent chill
dren and are giving these over to real
or foster mothers for a character OF
guardianship that may not be had in
institutions.
Twenty-three states now have moth
or pension laws. In most Of the states
that have them they have worked well
To be sure, there have bfen argu
ments and iheorizing without end hav
ing this pensioning of poor mothers as
the subject. 1t has been asserted by
some Legislators that the movement is
calculated to increase poverty rather
tnan to remedy it; that it is the enter
ing wedge for bills to pension old peo
pie, women who have lost their hus-
bands and every one else who has not
an adequate income. But that is not
argument. 1t may be considered mere
assertion.
On the other hand, there are legisla.
tors who urge that whatever is good
for a widowed mother with hungry
children is good sor society at large.
These assert that child is better off
in its mothers care, even if it be an
inefficient mother. than il could he
