CONCESSION TO INDIANS.
Federal Control Of Property Lifted
on Stated Conditions.

Federal control of the property Of
about 5000 Indians of the Usage and
Quapaw tribes will be lifted on ap-
plication of individual members of the
tribes. Commissioner of Indian Af-
fairs Cato Sells has announced.
An order issued by Commissioner
Sells says that "in order to issue a
certificate of competency or to re-
move restrictions unconditionally. as
per the declaration of policy of April
II, 1917. one of the primary legal re-
Quirements is that an Indian should
be an adult and should voluntarily
make petition for the removal of re-
strictions."
Superintendents of the Usage and
Quapaw departments were ordered
by Commissioner Sells to notify in
writing all Indians under their juris-
diction of one-half Indian blood or
less. twenty-one years of age or more.
able bodied and not mentally def
cient, that the commissioner will be
pleased to favorably consider their
applications for removal of restric-
tions from their allotted lands SO far
as may be done under existing law.
Steps to permit members of the Five
Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma to hold
personal title without government
. supervision to lands owned by them
were taken by the commissioner

CROPS FOR 1918

The country was fortunate in produc-
ing for itself and its allies an abundant
wheat crop. The total was in the neigh
borhood of 917, 100000 bushels, compar-
ed with 636,000,000 bushels the year be-
fore. Not only was there enough of the
grain to supply the home needs, support
ed by economies, and to supply the allied
nations to the limit of available transpor-
tation facilities, but the year ended with
an estimated carry over of 100000
bushels.
The corn yield of 1852, $4,000 bushels
compared with 1905, 233, 900 bushels in
1917, and cotton was produced to a tot4l
lof 100000 bales against 11,302,375
bales the year before. The value of all
grain crops reached the tremendous toV
tai of $12,275, 412000.
The aggregate of foreign trade for the
year is estimated at about $780, 000,0 900,
a new high record for the country, but as
imports increased substantially in value
ltowad the end of the period the balance
of trade in our favor was less than in
1917. At that a trade balance of So, 000,-
100000 is nearly ten times the balance in
1914 and more than four times as great
as in 1913, the best year prior to the ex-
pansion of exports incident to the war.

furnish in its legislation on THIS subject
an authoritative definition, for it is
greatly to be desired that there shall be
one definition uniform throughout the
nation.
The thoughtful reader vii observe that
the Amendment to the Constitution does
not prohibit all manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors, but teir. manufac-
ture and sale 'rfor beverage purposes"
Clauses in the Constitution comforting
power upon Congress are generally strict
ly construed The new Amendment does
not give Congress any power to interfere
with the sale, manufacture. importation,
or expectation of Intoxicating liquors for
sacramento or medicinal purposes, nor
the distillation Of alcohol TO mechanical
purposes. Congress cannot prohibit ply
sicians from prescsibing liquor as medi-
cine Can it, under the new Amendment,
prohibit the manufacture of patent medi-
cines containing alcohol? 1t is well known
that there have been patent medicines on
the market cotaining so much alcohol
that if the medicine were poured into
saucer and touched with lighted match
it would burn. Can Congress prohibit
the use of alcoholic liquors for household
purposes, not as beverage-say, for ex-
ample, the manufacture and sale of BRAN
dy-peaches. These are some of the ques-
tons which remain to be determined int
carrying this Amendment into effect. (
There is still another question which is
tersely stated in published interview ac-
credited to Cardinal Gibbons. In this in
terview he is reported as saying: ''In the
carrying out of the law see also an in
vasion of the home, which up to now all
men have agreed is sacred, holy place.
These agents may enter our homes with
the violence of burglars and the immun-
ity of officers of the law" 1t will be the
duty of our legislators to recognize this
sanctity of home and not allow officers of
the law to enter them in search for IL
quor without proper legal safeguards.
We hope that Congress will at an early
date refer either to Congressional COM
mittee, or to special commission of ex-
perts, or to the two working together,
consideration of these questions and the
preparation of National legislation franz
ed for the purpose of securing as far as
possible common understanding of the
two phrases Intoxicating liquors" and
beverage purposes" and common prac-
tice in the enforcement Of the law in a
way which will recognize the rights of
the Church, the physician, and the home.
while guarding against tie abuse of those
rights by those who desire to defy the
Constitutional Prohibition Amendment.

EFFICIENCY

A sound mind in sound body was the
ideal of the old Greeks, and they APP
preached nearer to this lofty standard
than any people ofwhom history informs
us. Within a century, the little country
of Greece produced more men of notable
genius than has all the world since.
1t is true that Lord Nelson, the hero of
Trafalgar, was badly manned and so far
gone with tuberculosis that he would
have died soon had he not persisted with
his victory. And it is said that Emerson,
when examined for the clerical profess
sion, was passed by the examining board
because they thought an early grave
awaited him, rather than for his knowl-
edge of teology. Napoleon had frail
body, always racked with pain; he suf-
fered from hemorrhoids, structure, cal
Gull, myxedema, heart disease, and final
" died of cancer of the stomach. But he
completely reconstructed the map of
Europe, feat which William Hohenzol-
lern, with robust body, sought to dupli-
cate, but failed. Alfred, the Great, an
other notable nation builder, was victim
of epilepsy.
Jasteur, Kant, Herbert, Spencer, Tru-
deau, Stevenson, and an army of other
invalids, have accomplished marvels
which will make the world their debtor
for all time.
But who can tell what these men
might have done had they been as sound
in body as great in mind? Certainly, no
one will maintain that the physical handi-
caps which burdened them in any way
contributed to their extraordinary &C.
complishments.

er machine works most efficiently
when every part is in perfect working

The modern study of efficiency in in
dustry has clearly demonstrated the
truth of this if truism can tie made the

employer now knows the baneful influ-
ence of bad air, defective light and alco-
hol upon the productiveness of labor.
Now what the world of industry and
of education and OF civic and profession

the fact that there is vast host of 9TH

too exclusively to technical and mechan-

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY
This issue Of The Outlook bears the
date of Lincoln's Birthday--of all our
National holidays the one for which the
American people have perhaps the ten
derest feeling.
The peculiar affection in which the
memory of Lincoln is held is not due to
his craftsmanship nor to the fact that
he saved our Republic from disintegra-
ton and ruin, nor even to the fact that
he dealt the great and final blow to hui
man slavery 1t springs from the subcon-
sciOus recognition Of the average Ameri-
can man and woman that Lincoln was an
American like Themselves product of
their soil, their home life, who had their
trials to suffer and their difficulties to
face. Instead of becoming sordid, mean
and narrow minded and critical and COM
planning, his love and sympathy and
breadth of view and human understand
ing grew until these divinely human quail
tiles literally enobled him. Lincoln stands
as kipd>uf immortal witness to every
<,rnan Of what that man himself may be-
come, not in fame ald craftsmanship, but
in personal character. No o4e has more
beautifully defined this power of Lincoln
to evoke the understanding and sympa-
thy of the average man than Carl Schurz
in his essay on Lincoln--one of the mas
terpieces of our literature:
But his standing before poster
ity will not be exalted by mere
praise of his virtues and abilities,
nor by any concealment of his lin
= itations and faults. The stature of
the great man, one of whose pecul-
lar charms consisted in his being so
unlike all other great men, will
rather lose than gain by the COM
j monplace. For it was distinctly the
weird mixture Of qualities and for
/, ces in him, of the lofty with the
~ common, the ideal with the un-
\ couth, of that which he had become
with that which he had ceased to
I be, that made him so fascinating,
character among his fellow-men,
gave him his singular power over
their minds and hearts,, and fitted
him to be the greatest leader in the
greatest crisis of our National life.
To attempt to say anything new about
Lincoln would be hopeless and futile. But
on this day it is worth while, well worth
while, to re-read what has been said
about him, what he has said himself, to
renew and repeat our attachment to him
and our allegiance to the great democrat
ic principles in which he believed and
which he practiced. AT this crisis in the
worlds affairs will it not help us to re-
call that Lincoln knew no class or caste?
He knew only nlen. All men were his fell
lowmen; and it may be said of him, as it
was said of great leader of mankind
nearly two thousand years ago, when
he saw the multitudes he was moved with
compassion ON them"
Lincoln was not the champion of any
one movement or any one group. He was
the champion of justice and liberty for
all the sorts and conditions of men that
go to make up the human race-not the
monarchist, not the democrat not the
capitalist, not the proetarian, but the
man.-The Outlook
