will shape his affairs without delay
in anticipation of an immediate call.
1t was the remarkable degree of succ-

practice here that brought him to the
attention of the War Department.
Few men of his capability are found

THIRTY SEVEN YEARS SINCE

The Ute Indians were n restless.
warlike and aggressive people who
gave very little attention TO the cult
vation OF the arts OF peace but lived
BY hunting and on wild fruits and
roots. In their tribal life they were
Indifferent to ceremonial. and exercis-
ed a democratic spirit generally. but
had a centralized or hereditary chief

They formerly occupied the noun.
tain regions OF western Colorado and
eastern Utah, with portions OF ad-
jacent territory on the north and
south. They extended their hunting
and raiding expeditions. however. far
down into the plains.
With their neighbors and kindred
they were usually at peace. but with
all the tribes of the plains they car.
ried on relentless warfare They
traded with the Navajos. the Piutes
and obtained blankets and baskets.
and from the Mexicans they procured
herds OF horses. sheep and cattle
when they did not replenish their sup.
As a rule their dwellings were brush
shelters or tepees.
In 1850 The Ute Indians made their
| first treaty with the government Sub
sequently various other treaties were
made by which the tribe was limited
in range Finally the entire body

reservation in Utah. Thirty-five
years ago they numbered less than
1000 and since then they have been
reduced to $500. The Ute Indians in
Utah have been fairly prosperous. but

natural disadvantages OF sterile
country and have been the victims

other leader for the Utes. In negoti-
ating treaties, with the tribe the Unit

services almost Indispensable, This
honorable man saw to II that all the
treaties in the making OF which he
was in any way concerned were kept
by the tribe to the members of which
also he was intensely loyal
AS far as It was possible, he pro.
tected the interests OF the tribe and
set them an example OF living In n

In his youth Ouray himself was 4

kaiser and the German people.
They are strllSingly brought out in
a serious book 90 appear in the late
Iall. Singularly enough, il was not
written as a war or propaganda book,
but as a straight study Of Prussian
schools for American educators. Its
title is "Prusslan Elementary Schools"
and its author is Thomas Alexander Of
George Peabody College for Teachers,
Nashville, Tenn.
Through the courtesy Of the pub-
fishers, the Macmillan Co., Of New
York City. I have been permitted a
glimpse Of the manuscript. Amid much
that is technical and for educator alone,
l find a sweeping indictment OF the
manner In which Prusslan rulers hpn-
died their schools to prepare the fer
tile minds Of children for the war and
conquest.
The schools are steadily used 10
make the Germans ready and willing
to take their place in that part Of the
social order in which they were born
The result Is a type OF citizenship cas-
fly amenable 10 the orders Of the bu-
reaucracy. This under-class comprises
about 90 per cent. Of the people, in
Guiding peasants. small tradesmen, sub
ordinate officials, artisans and other
laboring classes.
Love for the kaiser is steadily
pumped into the children who are
told Of the reforms Of the ruling house
for the lower classes.
In 1889. fearing the growth OF sooi-
alistic feeling, the kaiser himself or
dered the schools should be used to
combat this. The teachers were ordered
% tell the children how the power OF
stale alone could assure the individual
his freedom and right and to prove by
statistics how conditions and wages
had improved under royal protection.
one Of tho WAYS of making good
Germans IS the strictly QUESTIONABLE
answer system Of teaching. Indepen-
dent thinking and action are dlscour-
aged. A child is seldom allowed TO ask
a question. The teacher has told every
thing the child needs to know.
Alexander drily observes.
"The German school child knows a
great deal, for it has been poured into
him. Just as water is poured into a
jug; but he docs not think for him
self. He is n0n-lndependent. His indi-
yiduality has been left undeveloped.
He points out the whole purpose Of
this prussian education is TO make
The lower classes docile.
"The ruling classes have decided, one
might say, what a boy or girl Of the
lower classes is supposed to see and
observe. They know il initiative anc
individuality are killed in the children
these qualities cannot live in them

coal In this city
At the same time, Michael F.
Burns, president OF one Of the lars-
est coal distributing companies in
New York, says there will be no der
crease in that city because dealers
must charge SITS to 81 ton for the
cost Of handling and delivering In the
city"
If It Is true that the cost of hand
ling and delivering coal Is $1.75 to 81
a ton in New York, the cost in Des
Moines can not be much over half that,
and In the smaller cities and towns OF
Iowa 1t Is not in excess Of one-fourth
the New York price.
Delivery cost Is the one enormous
and irremovable cause of the high
prices which prevail in cities like
New York. Is it true that coal de-
livery costs as much in Des Moines
as in New York-or even 25 cents
more? What is the difference in cost
of handling and delivery between New
York and the smaller towns and cities
of Iowa? What Is the difference in
cost when coal is sold and delivered In
one-ton lots, and when bin is filed
with from ten to twenty tons at q
single order placed early in the fall?
There are number Of things which
the general public would like to know
about, before 1t is admitted that re-
duction in the price of coal at the
mine Is not to be followed by a re-
ouction at the consumers coal chute.

why POISON POLITICS AsAlNl

The Boone News Republican is much
mistaken when it says that the vote ION
the prohibitory amendment next month
will make very little difference" be-
cause mo legislature is going to restore
the saloon for many years to come
whether the people vote prohibition Or
not"
But it does make a great difference.
We have for thirty years had the liquor
issue prominent in our politics. 1t has
been eminent in local and state cleo
tions. It has been a main issue often
to the observation of other very i'm
portant issues.
Do we want it back again? Do we
desire 70 desire to fight over again
year by year the same old battle? Do
we want to make wet and dry the is
sue in the election of defeat Of every
legislative candidate? For that is what
defeat of the amendment means. The
war on liquor will not cease in Iowa
if it is necessary to continue it. Let
none so deceive himself as to imagine
that the war against liquor will cease
until its final Punishment. Nor should
any imagine that defeat Of the amend
ment will be passed in silence by the
liquor advocates and the interests that
icl, hn 10
Mobilization of the saloons would be-
gin the day adverse returns against
the amendment were counted.
Do we want the old fight on again?
De We want longer years of the same
struggle with it's bitterness renewed.
Let none be deceived by the specious
assertion that it makes no difference.
It makes all the difference between war
and harmony between progress and
reaction.
There is so much that the state can
do, needs to do and will do under har-
monious conditions. Isn't it the part Of
good sense to go on to g. greater Iowa
rather than turn again to long and
determined fighting on an issue that is
best dead and buried?.
Outside of few soaks who are defy
ing the law in their attempts to secure
liquor and those who seek profit by
legalized sale of intoxicants the state
seems pretty thoroughly agreed that it
is better OFF without booze and beer.
Why not settle it fully and decisively
next month and turn to matters that
need and deserve he united effort Of
all Iowa
Very little difference" Why the de-
feat Of the amendment thru in
difference or desire would poison poll
