ArdnOre Day Nursery

"A water pitcher, / soup kettle,
dozen soup bowls, cooking stove, a
few vegetable dishes, dozen oil cloth
bibs, l dozen cups, and clothes for
small children, lots of Clothes" are
among the essentials needed at the day
nursery, stated Mrs. II. II. Sayrs, act
ing chairman Of the Day Nursery com
mittee.
"All of these articles are needed so
badly, that / can't say just what Is
needed the most, but we expect to get
everything mentioned" she continued.
Probably the greatest necessity is
the cooking stove. At the time the
Day Nursery was equipped a stove
was donated, but this stove has no
oven, and the matron cannot do baking
of any kind"
An average Of eleven children per
day have been cared for at the Nur'
sery, throughout the summer.
In most cases the children must be
supplied with clothing, and it is for
these that the appeal for clothing is
made.
Clothing for children from l to 6
years old, is needed; rompers, under
wear, overalls, dresses, shoes, in fact
garments of every kind essential to
children.
Contributions will be received at the
Day Nursery, on Broadway, or call

language of apostrophe in the

mains that the mass is composed
of individuals and these must

before social consciousness and
action can appear.
The words of Mr.. Wedge must
first sink into the individual mind
and appeal to individual manhood
before the personified race can
answer the question what wilt

And as to the two questions, the
individual Indian should perform
some serious thinking upon them

Questions

A true friend of the Indian,
Arthur p. Wedge, once wrote an
article which was series of ques.
tions to the red men of this coun-
try.
The questions in greater part
have implied answers in their
tone since to the words; what
have we done to thee9" are those
which confess wrongs.
Here are two pertinent ques
tions: "What will thou do with
thyselfl" wilt thou take our deeds,

commissions, our stupidity, our
blindness, our service, our love.

yea for thine own best!

These are not questions to which

say that the Bureau entirely would
deny the facts of history, but that
now as the medium through the
government or the American
people it thinks itself a Chevalier
Bayard, having a reputation like
that of Caesars wife, that is
above reproach.'
The literary Mr.. Wedge, a man
evidently stepped in the history
of relations with the Indians has

many years have held him down.

So Say We All Of Us.

What new thoughts of potential
ity has the late European war not
loosened in the world mind. In
the aftermath we see the wrecks
of thrones, and from the debris
the birth of the principal of self
determination. We think not of
the exesses issuing from the evil
radicalism of Bolshevism but of
those people who, thinking in
socialistic manner, have, proclaimed
themselves nations upon grounds
of ethno|ogy rather than those OF
territory.
And in addition TO race, they
are thinking of the rights of
people to self-government Accord
ing to the principles of true de-
mocracy,
This is now quite an old story,
since November 18th, 1918, thought
has taken visible form in Europe
and those who have faith in the
ultimate triumph of good over
evil con6dentially await with faith
and hope future calm and peace
in human history. 1t is not
Utopia such are looking for, but a
practical A!truria, one that will
not be devoid of struggle, for,
from the nature of things the wise
Altrurian sees that perfection
can come only from meeting some
resistance.
The United States, conceded to
be the best democratic government
in the world, has yet some prob.
lens to solve. We would call at
tention to the desires of Alaska to
be granted modern elective form
of local government, something
between the present oversight and
state rights. Hawaii wants state
hood; Porto Rico waits statehood,
or independence, yet under the
protectorate of the United States;
the Philippine Islands think the
time has come for ful6IIment of
promised complete independence.
All this emphasizes the world
idea of self.determinatlon by
people. What the United States
should do in the cases of these re-
auesting localities we do not pre-
sumo to say. We venture to
guess however that the demands
have great weight with Congress
and the United States public,
The Indians of this country are
not asking autonomy such as the
above mentioned localities are de-
handing; they are simply asking
for the conference of citizenship
upon every adult Indian person,
and the right therefrom to be of
and for America. They are loyal
subjects now, but they do want
the right of individual self deter
mination, and to be released from

The unbeaten Stevens team expects to
keep its record unsullied in the Rensse-
