New Deal Planned for Indians
Stirs Imagination of Nation

The Duluth Herald records that "de-
tails relating to training and employ
ment and the disposition of Indian
lands and funds have not yet been
worked out" but that paper concludes
that "a definite policy has apparently
been decided upon that will revolution
lie old methods and in time solve the
problem. The moral support Of most
American citizens will be strongly be-
hind Secretary Wilbur and his pro-
gram" concludes the Herald.
Ever since our own Nation was
born" says the Fort Wayne News-Sen-
tinel. "the Indians have been dwelling
on the same continent with us. We
have gone forging ahead. They have
gone far along the highway Of prog
reSs, but not so far as they were Ca
pable of going. The Government has
pursued an ultra paternalistic course
with regard to the aborigines. 1t has
not done all that might have been done
toward helping them graduate from
the status of wards to that OF tnde-
pendence and self-sufficiency. Secre.
tary Wilbur proposes to establish q
group of employment agencies charged
with taking the Indians in hand imme-
diately upon completion Of their school,
ing. He thinks, and rightly, that the
best thing that can happen to an ed
ucated Indian Is to keep him as far
away from q reservation and its infiu-
ence rs possible"
1.-THE problem is q difficult one" con-
cludes the Houston Chronicle. Until
the members Of the various tribes have
been educated to take care of what
they have. It won't do any good to give
them farms and expect them to settle
down and till the soil. In q short time
some white man will have the farm and
his red brother will be wandering along
the river bank with fishing pole. But
it's better to try to make ranchmen
and farmers out of the Indians than
fit them for industrial occupations, all
though some members of the race can
accomplish anything II they receive
the proper sort Of education. The In
dian should be taught to help himself,
no doubt about it. The process Of 1T
ting him into the American political
and industrial scheme will take time
and patience. But 1t can be done"

Joseph Weldon Bailey.

The sudden death of Joseph Weldon
Bailey al Sherman, Tex, In the midst
of the trial Of q lawsuit, calls back to
memory a man who but for nnisad-
venture would probably have carried on
in public life to this day. He was still
in his twenties when he was elected to
the House of Representatives, and he
Immediately attracted and held atten-
ton. He was ardent, and eloquent. and
fearless; representing an absolutely as
sured Democratic district and State, he
was elected successfully for five terms
in the House and then gained two cleo
lions to the Senate, resigning toward
the close of his second term In the Up
per House because of endorsements
arising in connection with professional
relations with corporations just then
under severe public criticism.
1t was pity that he left public life,
because he would have been in later
years a valuable member of the Senate
He was clear minded and candid, and
easily one of the forensic leaders of
Congress. A debate in which Joe"
Bailey figured was certain to draw q
large audience to the galleries. The an
nouncement Of a set speech by him
drew q capacity crowd. His sonorous
voice. mis- wealth of words, his gift Of
opposite expression and. above all, his
tremendous earnestness made him a ma
tional figure.
Then, too, there was the fact of his
adherence to a picturesque form Of at
tire, to give him certain prestige. He
wore invariably what used to be called
the 'statesman's" coat, the old-style
Prince Albert" with flowing skirts. He
preferred the broad-brimned, high
crowned soft hat that has somehow
been the hall mark Of the Southern
statesman for several generations and
Is even now occasionally in evidence.
But particularly notable was the young
Texans refusal to conform to the usages
Of of1cial society In the matter of eve
ming costume. Perhaps after he left
Washington he weakened from this
self denial, but so far as known the
form of Joseph Weldon Bailey was never
after dark draped with the dress suit"
that has long been the order Of the
evening.
But these eccentricities were only
superficial, and were not essential to a
conspicuous position by Bailey in the
public eye He would have won and
held attention without them because of
his high merits. his vigor of thought
and expression and his intrepidity Of
attack. He was not mere thunderer.
His speeches were meritorious in mat
ter. His vision was clear, and though he
was q partisan and at times attacked in
q partisan spirit he was more nearly
the statesman than many who for their
brief periods hold the rostrum with bril-
liant phrasemaking. When misfor-
tune came through his association with
. corporation that was poison" TO q
politician, he took his medicine without
a grimace and went back to the prac-
tice Of law, in which he shone with bril-
liancy to the very hour of his death.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES 3. TRAcEWELL.

When one finds something that works
on himself he Is inclined TO believe that
1t win equally benefit all mankind
The writer here has passed the first
Winter In 10 years without catching
a. bad cold, and With the enthusiasm
OF all such discoveries would like to
pass his discovery" on to others.
While knocking vigorously on wood,
he Is willing to set down for the bene-
fit Of all the ways and means whereby
he has achieved this miracle.
Those who catch cold easily, as 1t
is said, will admit that such a feat
takes on all the aspects Of miracle,
stupendous achievement which would
seem untrue without faith and works.
***
The average cold-catching reader will
be more interested In the works than
In the faith.
The writer is most interested In hav-
ing the reader accept what is to come
as the honest efforts of one human
being to help his fellow men.
So many times ones fellow men look
sneeringly or indifferently at those who
would attempt to benefit them. much
as If to say, What do you know about
1t, anyway"
Especially Is this hostile attitude APP
parent when the layman steps into the
realms of medicine. Not only does he
have to fight the so-called man on the
street, but he must run the gauntlet
of the physicians.
Moved by our personal enthusiasm
for our personal combinations and eff
forts toward cold (coryza) mastery, we
last Winter put into print few OBJ

ed from the swallowing Of heroic doses
Of lemon -and-soda, only to be lombard

clare that our announcements were ex-
actly on par with THE Heavenly
Friend Of the York witch doctors.
II y
However that may be, we point with
considerable pride to our record: An
Autumn and Winter passed without
one single common cold Of any severity
in contrast to past seasons filled with
one bad cold after another.
In the face of such a record, let the
sneerers sheer, and the jeerers jeer: We
have found something that works" on
us, and naturally harbor the human
belief that 1t will work on others, too.
The keystone of our private cold
fighting system is the aforementioned
lemon and-soda. This time we propose
to leave out all reference to what this
dosing does to the human system.
Previous mentions oof alkalinity and
acidity of the system are carefully OBJ
liberated here and now; we don't care
what happens when one takes lemon
soda: all We are interested in Is that
we have escaped colds. We suppose that
the average dear reader will feel exactly
the same way about it.
Nor do we mind if any reader inclines
to the belief that we are boosting the
game Of the lemon growers. The lemon
growers can get along very well, evil

The first thing to do, then, when you
feel cold coming on, is to resolve to
take lemon -and-soda, in the dosage to
be outlined.

The College Boy.

We have in our midst the profession
al college boy. The type is familiar
on the streets of Washington. The
other day were noted couple Of con-
spicuous examples-two callow youths
wearing bright red hats and socks, In q
battered fiivver chalked with antique
witticisms. The car was parked on q
busy downtown street, where its occu-
pants could ogle the girls as they passed.
They were trying to give the impress
sion that they were college students.
They were made up" according to the
popular idea of the collegiate cleaned
from comic magazines and vaudeville
skits. Many who passed them with
contemptuous smiles probably thought
that they actually were what they pre-
tended to be.
It is unfortunate that such picture
has been stamped in the popular mind.
1t is a false and grotesque representa-
ton of the real college student. 1t sub
jects the quiet earnest, ambitious, hard
working, inconspicuous young men who
make up the bulk of the university
classes to a degree Of contempt which
they have done nothing to deserve.
The sophisticated. conspicuously attired,
fiaSk-toting fellows are few and far be-
tween on any campus in the city.
Dean Henry Grattan Doyle of George
Washington University has rendered a
real service to the college world by his
study of the actual college type, con-

conditions. The color change is gen.
orally from the initial color of the glass
to a purplish tint. This is thought to
be the result Of the action of sunlight
on the manganese which was used TO
decolorize the glass. The weathering
produces q scum 'on the surface Of the
