StTideT and Sons New Automobile
HcarSe Arrives.

/ The N. S. J. Strider G Son Auto
Funeral Car arrived last Friday, and il
certainly is beauty. of the latest de-
sign and fully equipped for funeral
directors work. There are added &C.
cessories to this car that makes it one
OF the finest auto funeral cars in the
State of West Virginia. Strider & Son
certainly deserve great credit for being
progressive in their business.
The machine was built in its entirety
by the Rock Falls Mfg. Co, of Sterling.
| Illinois. one of the oldest hearse build
ers in the United States in fact. one
of the first concerns to build automobile
hearses. The body is one of the yery
newest designs and is in use in every
state In the Union. 1t is very har-
monlous in design. complete in the most
minute details and thoroughly efficient
in operation. The body cont aims much
special equipment that is used exclu-
sively by the builder and is covered
thoroughly by United States patents.
1t is finished in beautiful egg shell
gray, color that is ground especially
for this company and is used only by
them. The interior is finished in a Cir
cassin walnut finish and the upholstery,
which is deep and luxurious in the
chauffeur's cab blends in with this finish.
The body is fitted with dome lights in
the hearse compartment, as well as a
dome light in the chauffeur's compart
ment. 1t also bias electric side lights
which are wired up with the storage
battery. The fore doors are equipped
with mechanical glass lifts which are
very new and very unique. All the
trimmings are nickel plated throughout.
The chassis is manufactured by this
company expressly for hearse work and
is the very highest type of chassis pos
sible to procure. 1t is equipped with
powerful, silent, flexible motor, over
size Westinghouse starter and oversize
battery. carrying Westinghouse electric
equipment throughout. 1t has a 100"
wheel base, Firestone tires, eqipped
with bumper, back-up lamp. etc.
There is compartment underneath the
table to carry the extra tire and tools.
This motor is of the approved IL"
head type. being very quiet and very
flexible. The gasoline tank is swung
underneath the frame with filler cap
and gauge under the drivers feet, be.
ing very accessible and out of sight and
out of the way. There is nothing to
detract from the appearance of the
body in the rear; neither is it neces-
sary to get out of the cab and take out
the seat in order to fill the tank.
:. If in case there are horse vehicles in
the funeral procession, so power
full and fexabe is this machine
that it can be throttled down
to less than two miles per hour on high
gear and will pull powerfully and evenly
at any speed, whereas if time is an i'm
portant factor it can be speeded up to
so miles per hour, which gives some
idea of its wonderful range of speed
and fexibility, Also this slow speed i
very essential in funeral where there
is marching procession of any kind

u. S. TO BE MORE LIBERAL
IN GOVERNING THE INDIANS
Cato Sells Announces Change Of
Policy to Give Red Man Control
of His Property.

Greater liberalism in the administra-
ton of Indian affairs is to be the gov
ernment's policy hereafter.
This policy. announced today by Cato
Sells. Indian Commissioner, with the ap-
prevail of Secretary Lane, is designed to
give the Indian full control of his prop
erty lands and money as soon as it is
determined he is competent to transact
his own business. Rules and regulations
TO carry out this policy have been pro-
mulgated.
THE time has come" said Commission
er Sells, "for disseminating guardianship
of all competent Indians and giving even
closer attention to the incompetent that
they may more speedily achieve COM
potency.
The new policy. he added. means the
beginning of the end of the Indian prob
lem.
Rules have been issued providing that
to all able bodied adult Indians of less
than one-half Indian blood there will be
given. as far as may be under the
law full and complete control of all their
property.
Indian students. when they are twenty
one years of age or over. who complete
the full course of instruction in the gov
eminent schools, receive diplomas and
have demonstrated competency will be sc
declared.
This says Commissioner Sells, sis a
new and far-reaching declaration of pol
icy. 1t means the dawn of a new era
in Indian administration. The competent
Indian will no longer be treated as halt
ward and half citizen. II means the ulti-
mate absorption OF the Indian race into
the body polite of the nation: in short
the beginning of the end of Ithe Indian
problem"
