on the sale of the Mexican PeyOta
bean to Indians on the South Dakota
reservations.
1t is reported that the Indians, hav-
ing discovered the exceptional quail
ties of this brand of bean, have been
using large quantities of it and make
a brew from it which excels in effect
any product of the paleface. The au'
thorities do not know whether or not
the bean can be barred from the res
ervations under the Harrison anti
firewater act, but they are going to see
what can be done about 1t.

FINDS HIS WEALTH A BURDEN
Trouble With Man Who Has Acquired
Riches Is That He Doesn't Know
How to Spend.

The nuisance for the man who has
acquired great financial resources usu-
ally is that he doesn't know what he
wants. Possessing the resources and
feeling the moral necessity to have re-
course to them, he looks about for
something to want, and he selects the
most costly thing.
The acquisition of this most costly
thing always involves, in practice, the
separation Of the rich man from So
ciety. Thus, he will acquire large
estate, or several large estates, and cut
himself off from the world by gates,
doors, miles of drive, lodge keepers,
menials, and secretaries. Or he will
acquire 2,000-ton yacAt and cross the
Atlantic privately, though less quickly,
less comfortably, and even less pri-
vately than on a great liner. Or he
will keep a private orchestra, instead
of being seen ct concerts.
All of which, though magnificent, is
anti-social and silly, and is secretly
felt to be so by the rich man when he
happens to wake up in the middle of
the night and can't go to sleep again.

FIGHTING MACHINE OF FUTURE
Huge Airplanes Undoubtedly VIII Be
Leading Factors If Wars Are
to Continue.

control Of the seas has been the
dominant factor in this war. Britain's
naval supremacy gives her grip upon
the destinies of all nations. Claude
Graham-White and Harry Harper,
writing in the Fortnightly Review
upon "Two Years of Aerial War;" pre-
dict that in coming wars the control
of the air will be even more essential
than control Of the seas, Charlton
Bates Strayer writes in Leslie's. In

plane playing minor part in the gen.
eral scheme.
In all defensive plans the United
States has placed great reliance on its
isolation. Our isolation may always
have in it some measure of protection,
but our long coast line, facing two
oceans, makes US vulnerable as are
few nations. In the wars of the future,
the attack will be led by huge air
planes having a speed Of 200 miles an
hour or more. Nations may go down
to defeat, by aircraft attack which, in
few hours, could hopelessly cripple
the nation not ready to defend itself
in the air. It is argued that Great
Britain, if she is to maintain her en-
pire, must match by control of the
air the control she now has OF the
seas. But what of the aerial defense
of our own tremendous coast line, and
our outlying possessions?
We gave birth to the first heavier
than air flying machine, and it is to
our everlasting discredit that as ma
ton we have done so little to develop
1t, and that the airplane occupies so
small a place in plans for the nations
defense. The peaceful possibilities OF
the airplanes have not begun to be
grasped by the average person. Mr.
Glenn l.. Martin, one of the pioneer
aviators and constructors of this coun-
try, says: 'In developing flying we
have outdone the birds and this is
only the beginning" Mr.. Martin is also
authority for the statement that there
is no means of transportation yet de-
vised that will make go miles an hour
as safely as an airplane.

Fish and Game Protection.

Something like score of fish, game
and bird protective organizations have
been organized in Indiana within the
last few weeks under the auspices OF
the Indiana fish and game commits
sion, and there is the report of splen-
did cooperation by farmers, deputy
game wardens and others for the pro-
lection of native wild animals and the
preservation of birds that destroy the
insect pests. 1t is probable that the
fish and game laws in Indiana We're
never so we'll enforced as at the pres
ent time. There are still occasional
infractions, of course, but the activity
of the game wardens and the changed
public attitude which now seeks to
help rather than hinder this work are
showing most excellent >results.-Fort

is chaos. For the order and unity OF
the regulated lives, instead of being
the result of growth in self-contrOl
and self-direction, were but the tenn
porary impress of outward necessity.
We have too often treated the ex-
panding force of growing children as
we treat the expanding force of ket-
tie of steam. The latter may be made
to work properly only as it is confined
to fixed channels-and when the lid
comes off, all escapes. The child, on
the contrary, is an organism quite as
capable of becoming a self-directing
and purposeful personality as is the
parent or policeman who undertakes
to discipline" it. And this it becomes
not through restraint and suppress
sion, but through guidance and spon-
taneity.
The child must have an abundance
of spontaneous action, because only
thus can he try out his various pos
sibilities in relation to things and peo-
pie. Only thus can he get the oppor-
tunity to select and evaluate the activ-
tiles that are worth while, to reject
what is not worth while, what is in
