INDIANS ALL OF SAME RACE
Differences In Type No Greater Than
Among the Whites, According
TO Scientist.

The American aborignes from the
Hudson bay and Alaska to the south
ern tip of the continent are all mem
bers of the same race. according to
DR.. Frederick Monsen of New York
and Pasadena, said to be more fa-
miliar with the American Indian than
any other white man.
Doctor MonSen declared the differ
ences in type found in Indians of the
various parts of the continent are be-
coming manifest among us today. He
recognizes people from Maine as typi-
cal of that section of the country, and
says a sOutherner or westerner can
be easily distinguished by one familiar
with the types of American people.
"The ab0rigines of America are all
red men," Doctor Monsen said. THE
Eskimos have flatter noses and oily
skins, due to their diet and the eli
mate"
He found corresponding differences
among the Indians of the Eastern
coast, the West, Mexico and other
parts of the country, but other Indica-
tons prove the distinguishing char
acterlstlcs were the product of food,
environment and methods of living.
Mentioning the treatment the red
men have received from the whites,
Doctor Monsen said: "The Pilgrims
debarked on Plymouth rock and fell
upon their knees, Then they fell upon
the aborigines and we've been falling
ON them ever since"

1t is a pity that Charles G. Dawes
found it necessary, or thought he did,
to indulge in so much profanity in his
appearance before the congressional
war investigating committee. The
"hells" and "damns" add no force to

grieve. The time is past when
coarseness and profanity in public ut

socialistic cranks' paradise Of North
Dakota are admittedly in a bad weller
The gullible popuacc of that unfor-
tunatc experiment station for political
rrotchcts and financial mooncalycs,
lured to the rocks of shipwrcck by the
siren song of the league adventures,
are now cursing their folly and in
many cases refusing to pay taxes for
further support of the bedlamite pro
gram toward the beautiful socialstic
goal of everybody working underline
for the state and the state supporting
everybody.
Having dreamt that it dwelt in mar
BILE halls the state has walked up to find
itself in the poorhouse.
Under the league program, the state
was eventually to cngross and manage
about everything: banking, warehous-
ing, merchandising, manufacturing
Poor old private enterprise and man
agcmcnt was to be crowded out by the
great, splendid fact of the superior eff
fcicncy, honesty and economy of state
control and operation.
As that in the last analysis boiled
down to control by politicians and
amateur operation by public job hold
crs largely with no visible means of
support but politics, it may readily be
imagined how the thing has at last
gone to pot.
Take banking, the cornerstone Of the
the whole jerrybuilt structure.
Thirty-two state banks have had to
close their doors and the depositors are
whistling for their money. The won
derful parent bank of North Dakota
is to go into liquidation, with the
wcirdest lot of impalpable "assets' in
the form Of uncashablc paper colIat-
cral known to the brain of man.
Banking power is paralyzed; the
state is "brokc" for cash to pay its
bills; counties and towns are unable to
meet their payrolls; many schools will
have to close in the spring, and so
forth and 50 ON. After two years of
experimentation in nonparlsan league
state socialism there is the devil to pay
generally.
Two years ago the state legislature
authorized bond issues for some $I7,-
100000, and Of course the bonds to
raise more money for the state enter
prise ralholcs would not sell.
So, in their extremity, the nonparti-
san league outfit has put its pride 10
its pocket and appealed to outside
banks lrun by professional bankers
who know their husncss) to float &c.
100000 of their bonds for them.
And Of course those bankers will do
nothing Of the sort, except ON such
terms as will secure the investment,
and mainly on condition that the crazy
experimentation with the already
roundcred projects in state socialism
be abandoned they decline to throw
good money, and especially other peo-
pies money, after bad

Dakota But sweet are the uses Of adj
