LOOKING IN

Enacting legisla.

Enacting legisla-

the House enacts

Senate APP owes II,

pret 1t, the courts

II would appear to us that 1t was
fully as sensible to censor the movies
as to censor the prayers Of the Chap
lain Of the Legislature. The former
appeal to the children with minds
to immature to protect themselves
from the false; the latter, are ad-
dressed to Diety. perfectly able to
SLIT the wheat from the chan. Some
things are ridiculous.

INDIAN PROVING SUCCESS AS
FARMER AND STOCKMAN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The
American Indian is investing heavily
in the live stock industry, according
to the Indian Bureau of the Depart
ment of the Interior. At present he
OWNS 1896, 900 head of live stock,
with an estimated value of $35,000.-
900. Under federal law, the Indian
bureau is authorized to loan money
to Indians to buy cattle and give
them six years to pay the amount
borrowed without interest.
That the American Indian has
progressed not only in the live stock
industry but in all other lines OF
business is evidenced by comparative
figures of 20 years ago with those
of today. Twenty years ago there
were 1000 Indians engaged in farm
ing, c~ultivating 1862, 1000 acres of land.
The value of their crops at that time
was $1,4O9, 600, and their live stock
value was sS,1S9,OOO Today there
are $4,000 Indians engaged in farm
ing. c~ultivating 1000 acres of land
producing crops of an annual value
Of S12, 900 and raising live sLocH
valued at S35, 600, 600.

''An Ounce of Prevention

In the belief that it is better police
practice, and more economical, to pre-
vent wrongdoing than it is to repair
the damage that would result from
it, Police Chief Granger nd bis force
took into custody, Halloween night,
a round dozen and a half of young
men, ranging in age from Is to 10
years, whom the police had reason
to believe were "ganging up" for
/ the purpose Of committing depreda-
tions which, while at first might be
attempted solely in the spirit of in
nocent fun, might lead, before the
night was DER, to actual destruction
of property. A number Of girl

them to the city bastile and sang
songs outside the jail windows for
