INDIANS IN SORRY PLIGHT
mescslero APaches Have Been no.
dueed to Poverty by Loss of Water
for Irrigation.

In General Crooks time he in
duced a number of Mescalero
Apaches to settle down to subsist BY
agriculture, and they raised excel.
lent crops until their white neigh.
bors turned off their supply Of wa
ter, a precious substance in the dry
West. They are now, to the num-
Der OF 625, living in poverty, and
tuberculosis is spreading among
them, Notwithstanding the many
acres and the valuable timber they
still own in the Sacramento noun
talns, writes William Dory, in the
Southern Workman. Some of these
Indians farm, but much of the land
is unsuitable for agriculture, though
there is good grazing. Some of them
work at government numbering.
When Apaches go off of the
reservation and work on con-
struction works and the like,
they are said to make excellent
workmen. There is little on any
reservation to call out enterprise,
and the supervision Of everything
undertaken, however much needed,
does not encourage initiative.
Capt. Ernest Stecker. the present
superintendent of the Mescalero
Apache reservation, was instrument
tai in, obtaining permission for them
to cut and sell their mature lumber
up to 100000 worth under the SUI
pervision of the forestry division of
the Indian bureau. There is a plan
for congress to advance as much
money as the timber is to bring, the
result of the sales being pledged in
payment.

CONSERVATIVES.

DIR. Hubert Work, postmaster gen.

regulation at dinner.
''The objections to this regula-

who hate new ideas simply because
they're new.
'These people are like George Au-

Of Sala's opened bottle for him.

HELD POSITION BY FORCE
Aryans In Greece Maintained Them
selves Only by Making Their
Cities Armed Camps.

Aryan people in Greece even in
the most populous places, and at the
height of their power were amazing
ly few. The aboriginal people. of
the country then as now, were Pelas-
gian Mediterraneans of the Semitic
race. In Sparta, at the peak Of
Spartan ability, there we're perhaps
5000 Spartan men. This handful
of Nordics ruled and held in subjec-
ton 100000 helots, or natives. All
the ancient Greek cities and states
were, in fact, armed camps, and
their citizenships for a long time
were strictly limited to blondes.
Athens enfranchised her Semitic
population at the height of her
glory, and dropped to the station of
a provincial town within the space
of memory of one man.
Very little Of the blood Of ancient
Greece is to be found in the Greece
of today. Only on few islands that
are remote from the traffic of the
world has the strain been preserved.
But Greek types are fairly common
in northern Germany and in Eng
land. They stand midway between
Celts and Nordics in evolution.
They have long faces and long
heads, like Nordics, but their teeth,
their bones, and their minds are un-
mistakably Celtic.--Chicago Trib-
une.

Sc they were drunk, and that Frank
