THE INDIAN JUsTETEDo

w TE should not be too hard upon
M those Piute Indians who went
" upon the warpath this week
when agents of the United
States government attempted to in
terfere in some measure with certain
of their tribal customs not in accord
with the white mans law. When the
Indians took down their repeating
rifles, danced the war dance and as
sembled their tribesmen to take the
law into their own hands they were
doing in a small way only what the
so-called civilized powers of Europe
are now doing on a scale so vast as to
be entirely beyond the comprehension
of the limited mentality of the un-
tutored redsl1in.
Perhaps our friends of the western
plains have been reading the news
papers or consulting the bulletin
boards in front of telegraph offices
along the Southern Pacific and have
been prompted to emulate the doings
of those highly cultured nations the
standards and accomplishments of
which they have been taught to look
up to and respect.

exaction of Oriental grafters kept the
country in state of chaos and depres-
sion. In 1S40 the power of the sheikhs
was broken and the Turks began to
strengthen their hold. but although
they have done much for the improve
ment of the country, the blight of OF
toman rule still Expresses the lard
of milk and honey" and keeps fertile
plains and valleys sterile.
The administration of such terri
tory far removed and utterly at vari-
ance with all American standards
would be stupendous task that might
involve all manner of complications.
There are so many Hebrews in Amer
lea that giving Palestine into the care
of the United States might seem like
turning 1t over to the Jews themselves,
which gives rise to the thought that if
the map-revisers of Europe are really
at a loss to know what to do with the
country in question they might guar
antee its independence and transfer its
government to the Zionists who have
been appealing for a Jewish State.
The only stipulation necessary would
be freedom of religious thought and
preservation of places and buildings
intimately related to the history of the
Christian Church.

STORY RITEN'
BY the Messenger Boy

Bein grounchy yesterday, l didn't
do any story riten, but | see the paper
come out iiSt the same, so | guess it
didn't matter much; anyhow the editer
said ne didn't give a darn wether 1
rote anything or not, only If | didn't
wouldn't get no job as reporter on
the Telegraf at four a week two years
and II months from now-three years
ben the time set for me to larn the
bisness, and one month of it havin
gone already.
So l guess I'll have to keep it up if
possibel; but its gettin hard as all the
ideas has beea mostly used up, and
unless the generus publick comes in
and makes some sujjestons and gives
some tips, It looks as If I'll bust for
things to rite about. The editer aint
much good in givin ideas. but jist says,
go ahead and rite somethin-any
darned old thing whether its sensible
or not. which is the way he does.
A friend that l don't consider very
high in intellijins told me the other
day when l get dry for things to rite
Third and Market and rite up all the
karackters that passes up and down
the pavement. Ackordin to him,
there's a story in every guy that
passes, if you only knew it and had
sense enuff to see throu a mans shirt
and read his hart underneath.
But / told him that lots of fellows
has dirty shirts, and how would / do
about the ladies that wears corsets
and things you cant see throu so easy.
sed the inner natchure of man, and
woman especully, is very deceptive
and cant be depended on.
He said I didn't need to depend on it.
but all | had to do was to watch each

INECAUSE heavy trucks used IN
carting earth from the Pennsyl-
- vania railroad freight station site
below Mulberry street to points
along the river bank above Hard
scrabble" are cutting into the asphalt
in Front street at some places, City
Councilman Taylor is attacked in GER
tain Democratic quarters for having
purchased the earth in question.
This criticism is unfair and abso-
lutely without foundation in fact. MT.
Taylor seized the only opportunity
available to procure material for fill
that had to be made, and he bought
the dirt at a figure that was gem
orally conceded to be a very good
bargain for the city. The matter OF
it's transportation did not enter into
the agreement. If unreasonably heavy
vehicles are being used on city streets
it is scarcely matter for regulation
by any one member of council, unless
it be the Mayor himself especially
since the trucks in question carry the
license tags of another State and have
been in Pennsylvania for more than
the period permitted by law.
An inspection of Front street will
show that most of the depressions in
the asphalt against which complaints
have been made are due, in large part,
TO defective repairs, which are heri-
tage of the Fritchey highway depart
ment regime. AS Fritchey was the ap-
pointee of Democratic mayor, the
criticism of Democrats might we'll be
directed elsewhere than at Mr. Tay-
lor. who has done only that for the
neglect of which he would have been
severely censured in the same quarter
had be not taken advantage of the op-
portunity afforded by the freight sta
ton excavations.

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question and GLOW to Prevent
Colds" is asked a thousand times
every day. A cold is really fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition of the
blood or lack of important food
elements. In changing seasons fat
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the body better able
to withstand the varying elements.
This is the underlying reason why
the medicinal fats in Scott's Emulsion
quickly overcome colds and build
strength to prevent more serious sick
ness. It contains natures medicinal
fats, so skillfully prepared that the
blood profits from every drop, and it Is
free from harmful drugs or alcohol.

PALESTINE FOR U. S.?

"HE novel suggestion comes from
London that at the close of the
\ war. when the possessions of
Turkey are being distributed
among the Powers, Palestine be turn
cd over to the United States. The
impression is growing that only in this
way can the religious liberty of the
Holy Land be maintained. But it is
doubtful if Uncle Sam would care to
add such trouble-ridden domain to
his governmental responsibilities.
Palestine has been a storm-center
for centuries, back even to the period
when history is lost in the dim mists
of tradition. Palestine came under
Turkish dominion in 1916, after the
war between the Ottoman Sultan and
the Egyptian MameluSes. and for 500

RESISTING KNOWLEDGE

~ RESIDENT WILSON, during one
of those delightful philosophical
\ discourses in which he is so
much at home, the other day
voiced the opinion that "the human
mind has inunite resources for resist
ing the introduction Of knowledge"
None will gainsay that. The Presi-
dent is a living example of the truth
of his own observation.
For two years he persistently has
closed his eyes and his ears to a
knowledge of what the people of this
country want. We believe, however,
that in the end the people will find a
way, just as DR.. Wilson did with dense
college boys, finally to impress very
forcibly upon the President the things
they have been striving so long and so
fruitlessly to have him learn.

THE "puRE VINEGAR DECISION

THE PURE NINEGAR' DECISION
"HE Superior Court in its decision
in the pure vinegar" case at
! Williamsport on "Wednesday not
only establishes the rule that
vinegar when sold must be pure apple
juice and nothing else, but laid down
q principle which will govern in the
enforcement of the food laws. Re-
duced to plain language, the decision
means that If vinegar is too acid, or
too strong, as the ordinary term is
cook shall add the water, not the
dealer.
This case was started in the Dauphin
court, an arrest being made here and
the vinegar manufacturers asking to
have it made a test, the State joined
that vinegar must be apple juice and
nothing else. The Superior Court has
upheld this decision. Consequently,
the principle is established that moth
ing except that which is expressly
sanctioned by law may be added to
an article of food. Watering vinegar
and sanding sugar are put on the same
basis.
Pennsylvania has good food laws
and they are we'll administered. The
courts are clarifying them as rapidly
as they can be brought up and when
the points of controversy over the cold
storage act are settled another cause
for difference will be abolished.

RELIEF WORK MUST CONTINUE

BOUT $4,000 is needed to keep
n the work of the Home and

until April 4, the ways and means di-
vision OF the organization has an
nounced.
II this sum is not raised the work
must cease March 19.
The building and Improvement work
which will give employment to the
heads of 500 hungry families will not
open up before about the middle OF
April. This means that hundred of
women and children for weeks will
lack the necessities of life.
Through the home work of the Re-
lief Committee more than 400 families
have been kept from the verge of star
vation this winter. Scores of women,
with the men out of work, through the
Relief Committee, have found en-
ployment in making up garments. In
many instances these garments were
given back to the very woman who
made them, In addition to pay for
making them. This aid meant only a
few dollars a week, but it sufiiced to
keep body and soul together in many

The question now is, Can the work
be continued!"

Money must be raised at once. The
ways and means committee has de-
cided to ask the churches and frater-
nal organizations of the city to help.
Surely there can be no better way of
and good will toward men" than to
give literally "unto the least of these"
The highest ideals of every church and

child, who can give a penny, should
