OF the deserving Indians may possibly
soon be made citizens by congressional
legislation. The Indian isn't dying Off,
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.
1.-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 race the Indians are utterly
lncorrigible. Despite all efforts to re-
claim them they remain savages; wild
men of the wilderness; untamed den-
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 roved, 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 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

cherish the hope that all real friends
Of the Indian race will lend their aid
and hearty cooperation"
AS fast as they become competent
the Indians are placed on individual
footing, receive fee patents to their

pursuance of this policy 1886 patents
have been issued in the last three
years, more than were issued in the
preceding ten years.
| No matter whether the Indian gets
| the franchise or not he is rapidly be-
| coming a factor in the nation. Here
are some facts indicating his progress:
AS to the present-day educational.
social, and domestic conditions of the
Indians, it appears from Commissioner
Sells report that $1,000 out of $4,000
eligible children are in school; that
$4,000 out Of $4,000 families live in
houses; that there are only 236 polyga-
nous marriages; that $4,000 Indians
are churchgoing; that 10000 speak
English that 81 900 are literate in
English that $4,000 wear citizens
clothing: that 10000 are citizens. and
that 10000 are voters.
The United States has reserved to
them some 60.0O0,000 acres Of land.
which If brought together would make
a region more than twice as large as
the State of New York. 1t Is very
conservative to say that this land Is
worth $685.. 100000.
They raise about $11.00O.000 worth
of crops, sell about 100000 worth
of live stock annually without depict
ing their fiocks and herds. gather in
about $5,OOO,OO0 year from brother
whitemari as landlords, sell about S4,-
5000 worth of land year, receive
about S1,7OO,O00 year as interest on
trust funds, 100000 on treaty account.
and, in the last fiscal year. about $780,
600. 900 more from Indian money, min
eral ROYALTIES. and hard work. the
latter item alone amounting to about
$4.00O.O00.
More than $4,000 adult Indians are
now f-supporting and less than 5000
able-bodied adults receive rations with
or without labor equivalent.
In fact, the Indians as a class are
now So prosperous that they were
able to invest about S25 100000 in Lib
erty Loan bonds, or approximately $50
per capita. which is far better than the
per capita showing of many of the
States, besides investing about l,OOO.-
600 in War-Saving stamps.

remains that Americans are eating s
per cent, less meat than they were 20
years ago. This is disclosed in re-
cent dietary survey made by the
United States department of agricul-

In this survey 1000 dietary records,
each covering period of days, were
collected from 1425 families and SIS
institutions in 46 States. Sixteen ma
tionaities and many occupations and
incomes were represented, as were
also both urban and rural locations.
