But is there anything we do to hasten the coming

Foreign demands for American manufactures will cause
our city population continue to increase. This will have
its effect on maintaining high prices for farm products This
means that agriculture in the United States has one of the

down the high cost of living is and will be the policy

COMMENTARY ON WHITE RULE
Indians Have Fiourished Only Where
the White Man Did Not Want
Their Lands,

In only two parts Of all America are
the Indians as numerous today as when
the white men came-in Canada, north
of the Saskatchewan, where the popu-
lation is actually increasing; south of
the Rio Grande, in Yaqui land, where
whip and sword and rife have failed
to conquer what should have been
pacified. In northern Canada the fur
hunting Indians have prospered in
peace for two reasons. The white men
did not take their lands. They did
not want them. The land of the Far
North was only good for furs; and so
the second reason, or from purely
selfish motive to increase the output
of furs, the Indians have been treated
with absolute justice II with absolute
despotism. The safety Of the lone
traders life depended on absolute JUS
tice; and, oddly enough, the only Next
can who has ever succeeded in controll-
ing the Yaquis has controlled them in
the same way, by leaving to them their
lands and by absolute, if at times des-
potic, justice.-Detroit Free-Press.
