big Indian reservations there is now
for the first time an income sufficient
to relieve the government of every
dollar of administrative expense.
Pony stations are no longer used,
and the horse stock is being rapidly
improved that ony many reservations
the Indian-owned horses are market
ed for prices almost, if not quite,
equal to those raised by white ranch
men. The Southwestern Indians, no
tably the Navajos of Mexico and Ari-
IONA are among the best sheep rails
ers in the United States. The Nava-
jos own more than two million sheep
and they are now being upbred so rap
idly that buyers are eager to pur-
chase their wool at the same price
paid to white sheep men. Two Years
ago we purchased, with reimbursable
funds, band of sheep for the Jica-
rilla Indians, and last year their net
profit from wool alone was thirty-six
hundred dollars. Recently Frank
Reed, a Crow Indian, sold range
raised and grass-fed steer for the and
one-half cents per pound. This Is
said to be the highest price ever paid
for grass fed steer on the Chicago
market.
These conditions and achievements
now exist in varying degree on all
Indian reservations and among nu-
merous individual Indians.
There is every probability that the
Indian will soon become the cattle
liking of America, great factor in
the worlds wool market and Il large
producer of horses
If the Indians continue to progress
as rapidly for the next ten years as
they have for the past three years
they will be practically self-support-
ing. with corresponding reduction in
appropriations.

"SLEMP, THE WINNER"

Notwithstanding the hard fight
made by the Democrats, the indomi-
table Mr.. Slemp has been reelected
to Congress by an increased majority
over E. Lee Trinklc, the Democratic
nominee.
The election of Slemp by so large a
majority is very discouraging to the
large body of Democrats in the Ninth
District, who were confident that Mr.,
Trinkle would be elected.
Notwithstanding this. defeat, the
large body of loyal Democrats of the
Fighting Ninth will take courage and
try their antagonists again in 1918
With four more years of Democracy
and Wilson prosperity, Republicanism
will not flourish, but will wither UP
and decay.
The Democrats of the Ninth district
will never accomplish anything unit
they come to themselves and adopt
some concerted action. The indica
tions are that the party is as badly
disorganized in the other countie.

THAT MYSTERIOUS SOMETHING

1t would be interesting to know
who first discovered that mysterious
something" And, while they were
about It, why they didn't establish
hts identity with greater degree o.
particularly. We have all encount
cred 1t, in all sorts of things from
the flavor of beer to the harmony Of
the heavens. the air Of elegance in 8
dime novel hero or the silent voice
of conscience, the lure of the wan.
derlust or the secret of success, but
ever and always 1t is seen and known
merely as that mysterious some.
thing"
1t Is in adolescence that we are
most on speaking terms with it. The
callow youth or romantic maiden Is
surest Of its existence and mentions
1t most by name. Artists mix 1t with
their paints, novelists depend on it.
or the belief in its existence, for a
living, and mystics try to monopolize
It. Maeterlinck has grown famous
upon 1t, but he shows no more init
mate acquaintance with 1t than the
scallow youth.
The religionists have We'd or COM
bined with the mystics to corner the
visible supply of 1t, while the scient-
list has tried to wrest 1t from them
and drag 1t to the light, and while
never entirely succeeding in doing
so, he has Invested 1t of many of its
ldisguises. When someone defined
genius as hard work, it was thrust
at our hero. Likewise when it was
said that conscience was two-thirds
fear. When Darwin proved the evo-
7ution Of man, he rent one of the
mystic outer garments so that 1t can
never be worn again.
When the youth attains a fulfill
ment of his manhood. when ro-
nance is shattered by marriage, as is
said sometimes to happen, the soul
becomes less attuned to that mys-
FERROUS something" but so omnipres-
ent is 1t still that ever and anon it
will make it's presence known, in the
strange persistence of hatred or the
unaccountable desire for strong
drink, II in nothing higher.
In the light Of ages to come, 1t
may be forced to a refuge in the In
Entities of time and space and the
mystery of life itself, but for genera
7tions yet unborn 1t will continue to
be constant companion and fav-
orite figure of speech.-Omaha
World-Herald.

WHEN MEN RUN WILD

( Mans getting drunk is to be lik.
ened unto the opening of the draft
doors under the firebox OF locomo-
tive and generating high steam
pressure, opening the throttle and
letting everything go until the ma.
chine is on mad race through town
and country, crushing whatever
come in the way, let 1t be man OF
beast, or maybe 1t will smash Itself
to a helpless mass.
If the tracks are clear, the machine
may run until its firebox, the stom-
ach, burns out;> or steam pipe, q
blood vessel, bursts, or valve gives
way and the locomotive or the human
body becomes useless wreck and a
burden in the way.
In the case of the locomotive, the
suffering Is confined to the living be-
ings it runs down; but in man, not
only the beings he Injuries or de-
stroys, but he himself suffers after he
has irreparably injured his physical
body and mental powers. He may
lose an arm, cripple his stomach,
blood vessels or mind, and become a
charge on his family or the communi-
ty.
"In the case of the locomotive, 1t
is only piece Of uncontrolled, IMAM
innate machinery; but in man 1t often
means setting to run amuck a piece
of the most inventive animal life
ever recorded in history. When
drunk. he may spend his last cent on
foolish things and leave a nungry
family at his home. He may kill his
best friend. violate trust, throw a
bomb, send a great passenger ship to
the bottom of the sea, or even incite
war Of nations. *
A drunken man is the most dan
gerous, demoralizing factor in civil
lied life. The wild beast of tie for
est is plaything in comparison. He
sets all laws at naught and becomes
an instrument of the devil. Man
crazed by any kind of mental over
exertion or drunkenness, like rabid
beast, is a menace to every one with
whom he comes in contact.-Dr. Sam
uel G. Dixon in the Philadelphia
North American.

Some women manage to sOOthe
their consciences by believing that
they wear only rooster feathers on
their hats" Mr.. Brown declared, "but
If east Baltimore wears rooster feath-
ers, Charles avenue will go them one
! better and wear bird of paradise
/ quilts.
1.-THE hunter whistles to his dog,
takes down his shotgun from its peg
on the wall and HES himself forth for
day in the open and comes back
with his game bag filed with pitiful
bits of feather balls" the speaker
said, while you girls and women do
your killing by proxy, but you are
none the less guilty of the slaughter
that follows under the guise of COM
merce."
In his Arbor Day address Mr..
Brown spoke of the bird and its rela-
ton to the tree, how one was depend
ent upon the other. He explained the
function Of the birds in the plan of
Nature and showed how, without
their aid in keeping down weed pests
and noxious insects, it would be i'm
possible to have the flowers in the
garden, the harvest in the fields or
the fruit in the trees.
"A bob white is worth SIS to the
farmer, whose land he policies from
sunrise to sunset" he declared,
while pair of orioles in the orch
ard are worth almost their weight IN
gold, yet the gunner shoots the one
that he may make two bites of it's
carcass on piece of buttered toast,
while there was time when the tiny
flame breasted oriole was slaughtered
to make gay woman's hat.
only 10 per cent of the men are
gunners, while more than rs per cent
of the women wear feathers on their
hats and are thereby just as guilty
as the men of the slaughter of the
country's remnant of wild life. -
