factories is not shared by Americans
who might be induced to establish
plants If they could be assured that
they would not be put out of business
by German competition when the
war is ended.
We need dyestuff factories not only
for their immediate product, but as
resource for national defense. The
German works are at present active
in supplying the material for ex-
plosives. We have no such resource,
and If we should get into trouble, we
should bitterly lament our want of
forethought in that higher field of
preparedness. The advocates of a
higher duty have a very distinct inn
preston that the great German dye
stuff concerns have exerted their in
fluence secretly against the effort to
establish the industry in this country
and against the proposed increase in
duty. The disclosure of such a Ger
man endeavor would be most I'M
fortunate for the Democrats. But
leaving the Germans out of the ques-
ton altogether, there are urgent rea-
sons why we should take steps to
manufacture dyestuffs in this country.
1t will be an infant industry, there
can be no question about that. II
Protection is ever to be justified, that
is a clear case, so clear that even a
Free-Trader who should give it cam
did and favorable consideration
would not be chargeable with incon-
sistency.-New York Times.

The strawberry industry is being

The strawberry industry is being
developed to such an extent in Ohio

Ohio county has not produced more

ed but this year the market IL Hooded

heavy one, but the acreage is also
larger and the market is not increas-

The Democrats should not have

We have read three editorials this
week in which the writers complain
about having their attention called to
errors in their publications but hear
ing nothing when good paper is
issued. What else can men of the
newspaper profession expect. If We
made our papers as good as we would
like to have them we would have no
time to listen to complaints. If we
don't get criticised occasionally it
would seem that there was lack of
interest in our work. If a man buys
no account goods from the dealer he
quickly returns. If the goods are all
right he says nothing. Let them
jump you occasionally. 1t adds lit
tie spirit to the campaign of life, and
when the compliment does come it is
much more appreciated.

INDIANS GETTING RICH
Territory Allotted 10 Red Men Now
Bringing Large Revenue.

(By Southern Missionary News
Bureau.)
Certain tribes of North American
Indians. strange as it may seem, are
the richest people in the world, in
proportion to population. The wealth
of the people OF the whole United
States averages $1,000 per capita,
that of the 1000 Usage Indians of
Northeast Oklahoma averages sS0,-
00O per capita. The whole of Usage
county, larger than the state Of
Rhode Island, belongs to this little
handful of red men. Since it was al
lotted to them by the government,
oil in great quantity has been dis
covered and their income last year
from this source alone was $780,
900, in addition to which they re-
ceived great returns from their graz
ing lands.
Other tribes, who years ago were
assigned large areas when land was
plentiful and of relatively small value
have grown immensely rich through
natural increase in land values and
particularly through the discovery of
vast deposits of oil and mineral.
But wealth is a sword that cuts
both ways. 1t is either a great bless
ing or a great curse, depending on
the ability of its possessor to resist
| its temptations and use il well. To
the Indian, untutored, unacoustomed
| to artificial luxuries and dangers of
civilization, a child of nature given
to the following of his natural i'm
pulses, the vast wealth that has fall
en- to him is a peril indeed.
picture an Usage family" writes
Rev. Victor l. Masters, of the South
ern Baptist Home Mission board, af-
ter a recent visit to this tribe, "the
elders yet in blankets and unable to
understand the language Of the white
man who has re-made everything and
destroys all possibilities of the wild
life, which is all the Indian has ever
known. Railroads, firewater, automo-
biles, gambling, agriculture, tele-
phones, pianos, houses, stores where
food may be had as long as the mon
ey lasts-both the vices and the vjr-
tues of the white mans civilization
greatly try the Indians soul. Wits
ky absolutely ruins him.
HE cannot hunt any more; still in
his red mans code that is the only
dignified and manly way to make a
living. Gone the days of the war
path! Horrible as were its deeds,
yet war did serve, to keep at concert
pitch the royal and unhampered
soul. Those things are all gone. In
stead there is only money, and aline
which is cut off from all either he
or his ancestors ever knew. The
white man has neglected everything.
The Indians must either in one or
two generations adopt the white
mans civilization in its positive and
constructed aspects, or fall a victim
to the snares and be damned by the
vices of that civilization"
Such heing the case. the Gospel is
the one influence that can save the In
dian from his peril and lead him out
safely into the new and larger life.

earnestly working at the problem

members of the Knox County Demo

The formation of club here was
brought to the attention of Judge
Shield and Judge Powell by Judge
Houck of this city, who told them of
its bright future prospects and ask
ed them to become members.
Both expressed a willingness to be.
come members and cards were duly
issued them by Clerk Taylor. Both
expressed surprise over the small
amount for yearly dues, stating that
they could not escape so easily in

plored the want of some suitable
place to work out their racing steeds
and to furnish amusement for those
who like to see little race once in

sent out to assemble in II. G. Gates
Office, First National Bank building,
on Tuesday night at 1880 o'clock for
the purpose of discussing the feasibil-
ity of the organization here of a mat
inee club.
1t has been about a half dozen years
since such an organization has exist
ed in Mt Vernon. At that time, the
old ball park, east of the city, was
used for weekly matinees which were
attended for the most part by large
crowds and which always produced
some very interesting heats. II mem
ory serves right, the club was aban-
doned when the owner of the grounds
desired to make other use of it.
Tuesdays meeting will determine
il there is a sufficient amount of in
terest in the city over a reorganiza-
tion of club and If such thing
could be made a success without too
great financial drain on the mem
bers. There are several good horses
in the city and these always have to
be shipped in the spring for train.

deeds from the plaintiff to the de-

tiff to the defendant, in the year 1897.
Both deeds show valuable consid-

1t is alleged that the deeds were

part of the gransor, who is now re-
markably preserved at the age of 88
years: that some time since he

in Licking county. He has since
changed his mind about disposing of
his property that way.
On the witness stand the memory
Of the plaintiff was remarkably clear
and he gave the transactions in de-
tail.
Judge Blair called the parties be-
fore him when the testimony was in
at noon Thursday. He told that he
would have no trouble in his mind in
deciding the matter. He was, how
ever, considerate for their feelings,
more particularly in view of the fact
that the defendant had made a good
home for and loved his parent. He
asked them whether they had ex-
hausted all means to reach an ami,
cable conclusion. Both attorneys re-
piled that they had not, though they
had discussed it in part.
The court then advised them to
each agree on briefs by way of set.
