Abandons Further Survey.

Although Gen. Andrews planned to
make a further survey of conditions
by stopping at Jacksonville, nc has
been forced to abandon that prospect.
He said he found it necessary to be in
Washington Tuesday, and would have
no time, therefore, to hold any further
conferences in this State. To do so, he
said. would make it impossible to
reach Savannah in time for rail con-
uections to Washington Monday night.
Reports were current here that Mr..
Andrews planned changes in the
Florida prohibition personnel, but
the Treasury official declined to con-
firm them. 1t has been known some
time that he hoped to effect a re-
arrangement of jurisdictional control
in this section. but he said today he
preferred to give the matter further
study before making any definite de
cision.
Gen. Andrews said he had obtained
1 better picture of Florida prob
lens" on his trip here than he ever
had before and believed the survey
he has made will enable him to deal
more intelligently with the situation.
The Andrews party left here early
in the afternoon. heading for Sa-
vannah. where the Assistant Secre-
tary will spend Monday.

BRAND Sets Up Mild Dictatorship

game, aiming at destruction of the
Socialist party. A month ago when
he was first offered the premiership
he declined because the Socialists re-
fused to participate. Later, after
other politicians had found 1t impos-
sible to form a ministry, he accepted
and dispensed with Socialist aid. To-
day he brandishes the threat of
dictatorship, not because he desires to
become actual dictator. but because
thereby he hopes to induce the So
cialists to participate in the next
cabinet.
The Socialist nation congress
meets next week and must debate the
question whether it will forsake the
policy of participation in bour-
geois government. NJ. Brand knows
that if the Socialists voti to accept
cabinet portfolios their influence with
the working class will be diminished.
Although NJ. BRAND himself is
former Socialist, he now believes that
the Socialist Party constitutes the
most serious menace to national sta
bility and his whole policy is directed
toward destruction of the Socialist
Party.

NJ. BRAND was brought to this de-

notice that if they resigned he would
replace them without seeking pariia-
mentary approval.
Such action was entirely unprece-

NORTH DAKOTA'S LAST
FRONTIER is FADING
New Generation of Indians Taught
Habits and Learning Benefits
of White Mans Life.
By the Associated Press.

BISMARCK, n. Oak, January 9
North Dakota S last frontier is fading
as the new generation OF native In
dams is taught the habits and bene-
fits of the white mans life. Through
the Indian girls in the Government
school here, of which Clark B. Dickin-
son is head, the uplift of the Indian
family is being attempted.
Substantial houses already have re-
placed the tepee as the home of In
dams living on North Dakota reserva-
tons. A knowledge of sanitation is
helping to increase their life span,
said Mr.. Dickinson.
At the school, where 125 girls are
taught domestic science and house
hold arts in addition to subjects
ordinary in the grade school curri
culum, special emphasis is laid on
those things which the adult Indian
needs most to know about his liv-
ing.
1T is hard to induce the old-time
Indian to sleep with windows open,
but we teach the girls here to do it,
Dickinson declared. Some of them
continue the practice after they have
returned to their own people.
''Of course, the tendency is for the
girls to fall back into the ways of
Sheir people rather than for the old
folks to adopt the methods which the
white man has taught the new gen
Grafton. Like white people, they are
inclined to follow the line of least re-
sistance. But by persistent training
we will elevate them.
The Indian has come a long ways
Imagine the plight of the white man
if the civilization in which he had
always lived We're obliterated and he
found himself forced to meet the con.
ditions of an Indian civilization. The
white man has expected too much
of the Indian. I am sure that our
red brother will eventually find him
self and arrive at a place where he
will be able to take care of himself
but 1t will take time

More and more the subject of the
young people of this city dancing and
remaining christians is becoming
heated and more heated. One pastor
called few of his young backsliders
together and gave them heart to
heart talk ON the matter. He did not
call them, together to condemn them
or any thing of the kind, he even
didn't want to allow any of his hard
boiled deacons in the council. All he
wanted to do, it seems, was to sound
the opinions of those good young peo-
pie and see if he could not convince
them that it is wrong, absolutely
wrong, to be found in a place where
dancing or any of the other current
pleasures are going on, theatres and
so on. In this council it seems that
the pleasure-lovers, as it were, gave
the age-old excuse. "Some Of your
