If the newspaper reports are cor- rect as to the troubles among the Ute Indians, it but further illustrates the folly of filling the office of Indian commissioner with a man who knows nothing of the Indians, says the Duluth News-Tribune. That depart- ment should be transferred to the war office, and the commissioner in charge should be an army officer of experience among the American aborigines. Captain Johnson reports that the trouble arises from two causes. The Indians are willing to send their children to the agency day school, but refuse to have them senttoa boarding school eighty miles distant. They are hungry and are being given but half the rations they had expected and which they understood was agreed upon. To this Commissioner Leupp re- plies: “Johnson proceeds on the theory that the way to handle troublesome Indians is to set them off and feed them. That is not the Indian office theory. This office believes in applying the same rule to the Indians that applies to poor and ignorant men of any race. “We believe in finding work for them and then in permitting them to go hungry if they will not accept the opportunity to make a living. These Utes contemptuously decline work, saying that the government would take care of them.” Proceeding upon this theory, the agent, under instructions, since the Indians would not work, permit them to starve and would shoot them if they object to Yleave the reservation. He would take their children from them and place them in distant schools against their will. It is nonsense to say that the government “believes in applying to the Indians the same rule that ap- plies to the poor and ignorant men of any race.” It neither believes in it nor practicesit. No other people are gathered together and kept on reservations. No other poor and ignorant race is forbidden to go where it pleases to hunt or work. No other has special schools and is forced to give up its children. No other has rations doled out, nor is treated as the wards of the govern- ment. Mr. Leupp is not the Almighty, and he cannot transform Indians into white men in twenty-four hours, nor by any rules he may choose to promulgate. Moreover, no other race at any time owned by right of possession all the lands which are now the white man’s home. An Indian is an Indian. The United States has been a hundred and thirty years trying to make him conform to the ways of civilization. It has not succeeded, largely because it has always had Leupps in charge of its Indian affairs. Retaliation. A mun who was a guest at one of the summer resorts in West Virginia tells of a wedding ceremony he wit- nessed in the town near by. The minister was young and easily embarrassed. It was the first wedding he had ever undertaken. The prospec- tive bride and groom were both youn- ger and still more easlly embarrassed than he. When the minister had finished the service and muttered a few kindly but halting words to the young couple he had just united the bride looked at him, blushing, but confident. “Thank yer,” she said clearly. “It's shore kind o’ yer to congratulate us, an’ as long as you haven’t ever been married yit maybe we’ll have a chance some day to retallate.” — Harper's Weekly. Legal Absurdi Bome absurd clauses have found their way Into certain acts of the Brit- Ish parliament. One statute enacted punishment of fourteen years' trans- portation for a certala offense, “and upen conviction one half thereof should go to the king and the other half to the informer.” Then there 1§ an act of parllament for the rebullding of Chelmsford prison which stipulated in one clause that the prisoners should be confined in the old prison until the new one was built and in another—an amending—clause that the new prison should be constructed out of the ma- terial of the old one.

W\a-——n—————h‘m i RAILROAD DEFIES STATE Governor of Alabama Severely Criticises Certain Line. Montgomery, Ala, Nov. (.—In hie message to the special session of the leglelature Governor Comer insisted that the control and regulation of the rallroads by the state is a question more important than the making of rates or any other matter in that it Involves the question of the right of the atate to control its internal affairs. ‘The message goes on to say that Pres- ident ith of the Louisville and Nashville railroad has held out against the Alabama laws while others have put them in effect; has defled the state and Its people by conducting a lobby at the capitol and openly admit- ted that his company has influenced legislation in the past; has called the governors of Alabama and Georgla Populistic; has raised rates over night in deflance of state laws and has gen- erally refused to recognize the right of the state to make laws applying to transportation companies. That the Alabama rate laws are not confisca- tory is evidenced, the governor says, by the fact that they prevail in other nearby states and provide profit. Financial troubles, he says, have not grown out of laws made to control cor- porations, but are due to the rascality of the high financiers. The Loulsville and Nashville railroad is charged with manipulating to prevent use of water- ‘ways, making rules for handling coal, demurrage and freight rates that are arbitrary and seeking generally to control the state to the detriment ot the people. EXTREMELY GR\TIFYING. President’'s View of the Results of Tuesday’s Elections. ‘Washington, Nov. ,—President Roosevelt has issued the following statement regarding the elections held Tuesday last: “The president regards the result of the elections as extremely gratify- Ing. He has sent a letter of hearty congratulation to Mr. Heney on the result in San Francisco. The victory in New Jersey was precisely what hap- pened nine years ago in the middle of President McKinley’s administration. He had carried New Jersey by 88,000 and two years afterward the Repub- lican candidate for governor had 5 500, the vote being cut down just as happened in the case of Judge Fort. As compared with the elections next preceding the last presidential elec- tlon we have done decldedly better than we did in 1903. Then, as Tues- day, Rhode Island and Maryland went against us; but this year we have won a sweeping victory in Kentucky for the first time since McKinley’s first election and the victory in Massachu- setts was also remarkable. The show- ing in Pennsylvania and Nebraska is equally good. The showing in New York state as a whole was excellent, far better than was the case prior to the last presidential election. That the result in Manhattan was due to purely local causcs iz shown by com- paring it with the decisive triumphs in Brooklyn, Buffalo, Albany and in the state generally. The president’s own home county of Nassau made a better showing than it ever has in an off year. As a whole the showing has been an improvement over what it was four years ago and eight years ago.” VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY. Porrest R. Nichols Freed of Charge of Bank Wrecking. Pitisburg, Nov. \,—Forrest R. Nich- ofs, former secretary of W. H. An- drews, territorial delegate to congress from New Mexico, was found not gullty in the United States district oourt of the charge of aiding and abet- ting Cashier T.

Bridgeport, Conn., Nov. ..—The American Graphophone company, em- ploying 2,900 hands, has posted no- tloes that the factory will shut down immediately for an indefinite period. The Bullard Machine and Tool com- pany, employing 2,000 hands, is run- ning on half time, Birdseye, Somers & Ceo., corset manufacturers, employ. 4ng 2,000 persons, has closed. OPEN NATIONAL CAMPAIGN Prohibitioniste Encouraged by Results of Recent Election. Chicago, Nov. i,—With the aboll tion of the saloon as their single aim the prohibitionists of the country have opened their national campalign. Chairman Charles R. Jones of the national organization of the foes of Nquor has sent out the call to arms to every prohibitionist in every state and territory in the Union. In this mes- sage the leader asserts that the re- sults of Tuesday’s elections in Illinois and other states where the liquor question was an issue, coupled with reports from workers in thirty other states, induce the belief that the pres- idential canvass of 1908 should lead to widespread reform and place prohibi- tlon in ‘the forefront of all questions to be decided at the polls when the next president is elected.

The company was convicted on sixty-six counts of granting re- bates to the Grand Canyon Iime and Cement company on shipments of treight from' Nelson, Ariz, to Los An- geles. The fine is $5,000 on each of the sixty-six counts. Chicago, Nov. 8.—President Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway, after heing informed of the decision, said: “We do not care to make criticlsm on a judicial decision except to say that we do not think we were guilty of any violation of law and that we | ff shall carry the case to the court of last resort.” BANDITS HOLD UP TOWN. Gang of Seven Blow Bank Safe at Canova, S. D. Canova, S. D, Nov. L—Seven armed bandits held up this town about 2 o’clock in the morning. They blew the safe In the Interstate bank and se- cured $6,500, making their escape an hour later without leaving the slight- est clew. While two bandits worked at the bank the others guarded the alleys angd streets. The occupants of a hotel across the street were aroused by the explosion and rushed pellmell out of the building, but the robbers opened fire and drove them back, threatening to kill the first one who reappeared. The hotel was riddled with bullets. Where lights were burning in homes the bandits, at point of the gun, forced the owners to extinguish them. The town was terror stricken. Taft Will Go to Europe.
