Johnny paid his first visit to farm
the other day. All his life he had
lived In the heart of a great city, and
when he suddenly came In sight of a
haystack, he stopped and gazed ear
nestly at what appeared to him a new
brand of architecture.
"Say, Mr.. Smith," he remarked to
the farmer, pointing to the haystack.
"why don't they have doors and win
dows In it?"

OF the deserving Indians may possibly
soon be made citizens by congressional
legislation. The Indian isn't dying of,
either. Nor is he losing his identity
by intermarriage with the pale face.
10 the coming Indian!" is the revised
version of the old phrase.
"The only good Indian is the dead
Indian" was the way the frontier ex-
pressed the general contemporary
American idea Of the desirability of
the red man as man and brother.
"As q race The Indians are utterly
incorrigible. Despite all efforts to re-
claim them they remain savages; wild
men of the wilderness; untamed dem
liens of the woods. And even when
individuals of their race are taken
from the forests and educated and cul-
tured they relapse-at the first oppor-
tunity into savagery, and then they
become more barbarous than original
barbarians. Essentially wild animal,
like the wolf and the catamount, the
Indian has always r0ved, and will al
ways continue to rove, untamed in the
forest" Wesley O. Howard, former
justice of the supreme court of New
York, thus states the case of those
who still continue to dislike the Indian
On the other hand the friends of the
Indian-and they are many-believe
that the so-called indian problem
should be solved by making the In
dams a part Of the American people,
instead of keeping them apart as aliens
and semi-outcasts under the name of
wards of the nation. This case for the
Indian is the one adopted by COM
mittee representing his friends. It's
chairman was the Rev. Henry Roe
Cloud, an Omaha Indian and gradu-
ate of Yale university. Among its
members were S. M. Brosius, the Wash
ington agent Of the Indian Rights as
sociation; the Right Rev. FL. L. Burle-
son, Protestant Episcopal bishop of
South Dakota; John w. Clark, secre-
tary of the National Indian associa-
ton; Mrs. Raymond T. Bonnin Git
kala-Sa), secretary of the Society of
American Indians; the Kew. Thomas
G. Moffett, superintendent of the Pres
byterian Indian Mission Work, and the
Rev. Francis S. White, domestic sec.
rotary of the Protestant Episcopal
board of missions.
Mrs. Bonnin, secretary of the Soci-
CIV of the American Indians, believes
that over-paternalism on the part OF
the United States government is sti.
fling the initiative Of the Indian. She
wants him enfranchised and believes
he can take care OF himself Mrs
Bonnin (Zit-kala-Sa) is the wife OF
Capt. Raymond 7. Bonnin, q. S. A.,
Of French and Sioux descent. She
herself is q full-blooded Sioux and q
direct descendant of Sitting Bull.

In Mongolia there are only two
