OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

Indians. The survivors of the first
North American families have borne
this neglect in their usual taciturn
fashion. But recently. at congress
of 1000 Indians, convened at LAW
renee, Kan, the proposition to have
one day in the year set aside and OBJ
served as American Indian day, met
with strong approval and heavy
sustaining vote. A committee was ap-
pointed to take up the suggestion with
President Wilson, and later with Con-
gress, and legal and official recogni-
ton Is confidently expected. The first
day to bescelebrated is announced as
May 2, 1916.
The idea of an American Indian day
was suggested in 1912, and the agita-
ton which followed was not per-
mitted to die down. The hackers OF
the measure claim that in addition to
deserving recognition as the original
Americans, their increasing civiliza-
tion, their educational progress, and
their standing as good citizens, en-
title them to place in the roll of race
celebrations
The request which is backed by the
Indian congress and it's leading rep
resentatives, professional men of high
standing, seems an eminently reason
| able one. Aside from its sentimental
feature, ii would be a deserved tribute
to a race that has struggled upward
against a host of retarding conditions,
and is demonstrating its increasing
fitness for good citizenship and high
responsibilities,

NEWARK WANTS TO SEE THE BELL

Patriotic Newarkers are back of the movement to

The idea is to have the famous relic brought back

Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, New York and Newark.

places an opportunity to view the bell.

The Suffraget-te
would like to make a bet.

l would like to make bet.
There goes a suffragette;
You can tell by the cut of her gowns;
She looks like one, when she laughs
or frowns.
She seems to know what she's talking
about;
Makes you believe she is right, with
out doubt.
She claims the country will be in
good condition
If the woman holds a public position.
The streets will be so clean and
bright:
The men will admit it was worth the
fight.
There will be less drunken men,
On that you can all depend:
All vice and trouble is bound to end,
When we our women to the polls send.
All we ask of you men is give us a
chance,
And then you will see our country
advance;
our churches will more crowded be,
To this you men will soon agree;
We want to give our men a helping
hand,
Which some of you men can't under
stand.
Women are born with wonderful
minds,
Some of them: of course there are
different kinds;
But when these women an interest
take,
They don't often make mistake.

From the sioux city Tribune.

From the Sioux City Tribune
An agitation which apparently has
been set on foot by some we'll
organized influence has suddenly ap-
peared in favor of enlarging the IN
terstate Commerce Commission, upon
the ground that that commission now
has so much work that 1t is physically
unable to attend to 1t in competent
manner.
The proposed agitation seeks to vest
the appointment of the commissioners
in Congress, instead of in the presi-
dent. and 1t also proposes that, stimuli
taneously with enlarging the commits
sion, ii should be localized bv being
divided into geographical groups, each
group dealing with the transportation
problems of it's section of the country
There is no doubt that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission is over
worked and should be given some re
lief. But to enlarge it by making II
sectional instead of national and
throwing the appointment of its
membership into the halls of Con-
gress to be fought for and traded
upon the same as other political
pie would be virtually to destroy it..
The way to relieve the Interstate
Commerce Commission of lot of its
work is 10 stop railroads demanding
their petitions, once refused be heard
over and over until they wear the
commission out, and finally tire it into
granting their requests.

Jewels He Stole and Is Arrested.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-A con-
science-stricken paperhanger, who
stole $1,500 worth of jewelry from the
home of Miss May Weeks, sister of
Supreme Court Justice Barlow s.

Miss Weeks says Hoff was doing
some work In her home last Friday,
and left suddenly, saying he was Ill.
Later that afternoon she found that
bag containing fifty-six pieces of
jewelry, mostly heirlooms. was miss
ing. Yesterday afternoon Miss
Weeks received a telephone call from
Hoff, saying that If she would meet
him at Broadway and Seventy-f1fth
street he would return the jewels.
Accompanied by a detective, Miss
Weeks got the bag, and on examina-
ton found that a gold watch was
missing, which was later found on the
mans person.
Hoff said that after the theft he
became conscience stricken and de-
cided to return his loot.

NOT MUCH DOING WITH THE BAYoNET.

NOT MUCH DOING WITH THE BAYONET.
Correspondents who send thrilling accounts of
the fearful havoc wrought by the oldfashioned bay
onet must be drawing largely upon their imagina-
tons according to reports from military surgeons in
the western theater of OF the first thousand
wounded soldiers brought into one of the American
Red Cross hospitals only six had bayonet wounds
and later casualty lists bear out about the pro-
portion. In the opinion of Colonel Kean of the
United States army, who has been dligent observer
in the war zone the bayone is rarely used at least
with effect magazine rife, fred at close rang, has
much deadly power than when turned into a
thrustng weapon. and while so-called bayonet
charges may be common the soldiers keep shoot
ing in the rush that the enemy is apt to be swept
away forced to retire before the opposing bodies
come into contact close enough to make the bayonet
of any service
In the Russo-Japanese only about four per
cent of the wounds in battle were traceable to the
bayonet and military observers do not believe the
present conflict will vary this record materially. AS
an offensive weapon the bayonet has gone into the
category of outWorn devices with the saber in the
old-time cavalry charge, and artillery is the main
dependence in modern warfare.
