RRIANp,s MODERATION.

Whether Premier Briand of France would be sustained by the house of dep uties in his policy regarding Germany and Silesia has been determined by the vote of confidence that has been given him showing an apparent realization that the country Is against further military operations unless the rights and safety of France ar threatened.
 There are those who have been so de- sirous of getting possession of the Ruhr valley that they were prepared to grab 1t whether there was justification or not France has reason of course to feel bit ter toward Germany but it must never theless realize the importance of living up the terms of the treaty. While there may be those who put little faith in the latest promises of Germany concerning the meeting of the reparation demands it IS evident that 1t would be unjust to proceed to exact a penalty before the justification for 1t existed. In other words inasnuch as Germany has agreed to meet the terms of the demands as presented to it, it is only right that it should be given that chance. That is the basis of the policy of moderation that IS SpOnsOIeu Dy GTeIll6T bTlduQ ana the one on which he was given the vote of confidence.
 The same thing is true regarding Up- per Silesia. France is of course partial to Poland. That 1t should feel better disposed to Poland than to Germany is not surprising, But here again there are the treaty terms that France must respect. so that which 1t Is urged thai the giving of Upper Silesia to Poland be approved by France 1t is against the agreement that was made some month. ago. Instead of following such radica course Briand counseIs otherwise and the wisdom of his policy gets support | doesn't mean that France is going to b, any the less alert regarding it's welfar,
 but it does mean that it is impressed with the importance of passing the pres

rAxTxe WATER SYSTEMS.

How determined the efforts have been H thoss who are back of the plan to tzI municipalities for such equipment as they may have in other towns for proTiding a water supply Is revealed by he report of the judiciary committee, which Ttiile uufzvorzble to the bill. Fh0wed six to be in favor while seven were opposed. An interesting feature of his split Is that most of the support for he bil comes from the members in the arge centers where the water supply Is in the hands of private interests.
 The unfavorahle report should carry weight with the general assembly. It is plainly indicated that private water com- pznies are endeavoring to saddle upon municipalities which are so fortunate as to own their own water systems an ad- ditional expense just because it is re- gutred Of the privately owned compan- ieE.
 A number Of the cities where the water plants arc municipally owned have been toroed to go outside the limits of the t0Uns in which they are located in order io obtain adequate supplies of water. They have utilized land for nowase rights and watersheds that in many in.

s.orie. That Recall o.a.rs
Made Ills Own Excuse.

Little Joe, aged six, was sent to the bakery to get some ginger snaps. He came back with pickles that he had ob- tained at the grocery. Whether this was because he liked pickles better than gin ger snaps just then has not developed.
 Joey" said his mother, "you go right back with those pickles. get the money and go to the bakery and get ginger snaps.
 The grocer tells the story. He says Joey came in with eleven pickles and said: "Muvver eated one of them and didn't like it. I want my money back " Whether he ate the pickle Is not known but apparently he wished an excuse for returning them and figured out one for himself.
 The Meanest Man.
 The meanest man Is not, as has been reported, the Carolina farmer who used to light lamp on the breakfast table, tell his hired men to notice the loca- tion of the victuals so they could find i them in the dark, and then blow the lamp out and let them do so. The -neanest man must have been on the street car the other morning. What did you get your wife for hez birthday, John?" ans asked. "Oh, I got her Is gallons of gasoline and five gallons of engine oil" And hs never smiled when he said 1t either.

RELrEvING THE ROADS.

Sanca the efforts have been underway for . reduction iA the operating expenses Of the railroads, and particularly Sanca there has been an indication that there oould be expected cutting down in the waRa schedules which have been con tinued at war figures, there has been not little said in behalf of a reduction in the railroad rates. Rates were of course put where they are by authority of the interstate commerce commission because the railroads were entitled to them in order to meet the expenses attached to operation. Because business declined they failed to accomplish what was sought. The injustice to the roads there- fore of being forced to bear the heavy burdens of expense without being ahae to earn enough to meet them calls for . cutting in the cost of operation and that we have been told will come soon.
 But if the roads are not able to make ends meet without a reduction in operat- Ing costs, and need cutting of wages to give thom a chance to get what they are entitled to under the transportation act 1t is not surprising that the claim is made in their behalf that the mere cut
 
 spread slashing in rates. The cut in wages, unless 1t appears different when the commission makes it's announce ment, will be for the purpose of relieving the railroads of unjustiicd expense Should there be a corresponding cut in rates they would be correSpondingly as ] bad of as they were before the wago cut. It would be a welcome and desira- ble change for the country for lower rates are much needed but it would not give any increased assurance of the sta bility of the railroads and leave them in a position where they would not havo to depend upon the government. Their only hope through such a course would be whatever benefit they might gain through increased business, or depend ence upon an uncertainty.
 curtailment of operating expenses will help the railroads get back onto their feet, a result which is quite i'm portant to the country. That accom- plished there could and should follow rate reductions, although certain rnodif. cations to encourage business may even be attempted otherwise though a gen. eral cut seems improbable.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
INLIANs IN THE CTyIL WAR

v
 When the Civil war broke out the great majority of the Indians lived close to the border of the Confederate States, and naturally they sympathized with them in the ambations. On the very day. Jsnu-, ary 5, 1881, when the famous caucus of Southern senators adopted resolutions Ad- yising the immediate secession the Chick asaw legislature showed itself fully cog nizant of the fact that crisis had arriv- ed in America nnational affairs by sug- gesting an intertribal conference to se- cure cooperative activity or the part of the Five Civilized Tribes should a po- htical separation occur between the North and the South.
 Chickasaw Nation. duay communicated this plan to the authorities of the other tribes, but it drew forth an unfavorable comment from John Ross, principal chief of the Cherokees. who felt that the quarrel between the states was no concern of the Indiana
 The very position of the Indian Terri tory, however, made a long continued neutrality, absolutely impossible. At the outset of the war the Union troops were withdrawn from that section, surrenderinS their position at the first approach of the Texans. Southern sympathizer among officials and ex-officials in the Indian Ter ritory were very numerous.
 The South seems from the first to have appreciated the importance of the Indian Territory as a possible storehouse for provisions as a highway to and from Texas In consideration of this, the Con. federate government on May, 13. 1881. ap- pointed the Texas Ranger. Benjamin Nc Culloch. to the command of the Indian 1 Territory John Ross objected to this 1 and McCulloch, thereupon retired to Fort Smith in western Arkansas and proceed, ed to muster his forces.

away many Indians from their aIlegi- ance to the federal government IL was not long before the Choctaws and Chick asaws went over to the South as nations but the Comanches, the Seminoies and the Greeks were split into two factions. Sometimes only a single band or per haps two bands from these tribes. sup ported secession. Of the most insignlf- icant tribes of the Indian Territory. the remnants of the northeast, weak, urerg- anized and influenced by their agents. Andrew J. Dorn, yielded to Pike without much persuasion. Among these detach- ed bands the Quspaws were the only ones that remained unqualiiedly loyal
 More than one-hzn of the adult male Delawares regularly enlisted as volun- teers, and they were highly esteemed as soldiers by their officers. Meanwhile the Chickasaw legislature, on May 25, 1881. declared outright for the Confectionery. at the same time urging all neighboring na- tions to form a defensive and offensive zl- liance against the Lincoln hordes and Kansas robbers"
 In view of this stand and of that taken somewhat earlier by the Choctzws 1t was not surprising that Cooper raised his In- dian regiment with little difficulty. Or June IA George Hudson. principal ehisl of the Choctaws, issued a proclamation calling for seven hundred troops to serv' as rihemen. and for an additional fore to serve as home guards.
 The Union forces having been with drawn from Indian Territory to For Leavenworth. the government was sooi called upon t9 reEAin the lost position and to rally the loyal Indians. On Au gust 21 the Cherokee nation declared fo secession. McCulloch was not wholly in syuapath! wit hthe policy of enrolling Indians ant feared that were they allowed to becom an invading army they would run rio and bring the whole Confederate servic into disgrace. The Indians themseive were averse to anything but home guar duty.
 The first big battle in which Indian fought with their white brothers dufini the Civil war was at Pea Ridge, in April 1862. There is a tradition that in thi battle Indians fought on both sides an after their old-time custom-war paint feathers, arrows and tomahawks. Tn tomahswks were certainly in evidence an did some gruesome work among the dea and wounded.
 Pike and his Indians seem only ( have rendered very second rate service After this battle the Indians were grad } ually drawn back into the Cherokee coun try. Later the Indians became very mue dissatisfied and deserted in large number ; and the failure of the South in severn
