BETTER DAY COMING FOR THEM ) W. P. Marble, Who Was a M the Commission of Gives His Views on the Sttua “Conditions point to an early solution of the problem confronting the Indlan office on the Omaha reservation,” sald H. P Marble “of Humboldt, Neb., one of the members of the cempetency commission, which has been laboring for a few months to determine the qualifications of the Dmahas to recelve and care for their lands o long held in trust by the government. “Despite the agitation over the wrongs »f this tribe in the publio prints at various public gatherings, the members of the competency commission, Mr. McConihe, Mr. Pollock and myself, have been reluc- tant to take any share n the controversy, preferring to proceed in the discharge of the duty imposed upon us, and finding out the real situation, ald the Indian office in bringing about a solution of the difficulties, satisfactory and safe for the Indians. It must be known, to understand. the condi- flons thoroughly, that the Omaha Indians @re & progressive people, very many of them speaking good Bnglish, having liberal education and being in every way capable of looking after their own nterests. On the other hand there are many who, through old age, physical and mental dls- abllity, are wholly unable to protect their Interests, and to turn their property over to them would make them & prey to the wnscrupulous speculator (and the probings ot the commission has brought proof that he 18 ever present on the Omahs reserva- tion) and would be little short of a crime task of giving more liberties to the com- petent Indian were not jeopardized. We have found the Indlan office, both Mr. Valentine, Mr. Abbott and thelr subordi- nates, deeply interested in granting all pos- sible release from restrictions to the Omahas and can only feel that if those In- terested in the recent agitation had been & little more patient with those who were Qisinterestedly attempting to solve & big human problem the solution might have been hurried rather than delayed. “In spite of what may be termed the ‘hot house' method of fostering during the last score of years the Indlans have developed wonderfully and yet the system has not been calculated to bring about the high- est possible developement of the race and none realize this fact more keenly than does Mr. Abbott, aud no one individual is striving more earnestly to break up that part of the old restrictive system which has so long been & burden not only to the patient Indian, but to the local superin- tendent and his employes, who too often received ‘the blame for vexatious delays for which they were in no wise responsi- ble. » “It is agreed by every one conversant with the Tacts that the Indians have much cause for complaint, but at the same time they have much in their present advanced o for which to thank the government, and it 18 believed that the intelligence and broad-mindedness of the delegation of Omahas now In Washington will bring them to & realization of the (fact that all three forces—the Department of the In- terior, the Indlan office and the Com- petency commission—are working to ex- actly the same end as they themselves, vis: the making of progressive and self- supporting eltizens out of the Omaha ln- dlans. “In this connection it is & well-founded fact that without responsibility there is little growth in any line and in no case is it exemplified more fully than in thé present Indian problem. “I speak with knowleage of the situation when I say that If the present plans of My, Valentine and Mr. Abbott, are carried out, especially those relating te the promo- tlon of agriculture—and everything points to that consummation—a much brighter day is dawning for the Omaha Indian, for simpler and less restrictive methods aré to be inaugurated which will aid and not hamper him In his progress towards cit- izenship. “I have grown to know and esteem these Indians highly and feel that one great.cause for congratulation is the fact that those In authority are rapidly coming to treat the red man more as & normal human being. The Competency commision 1s recommending the release of a large por- tion of the lands held in trust and before their labor s completed, In thirty to sixty days, without question more names Wwill be added to the list of competents. The commission expects that it will be crit- icised for releasing some wnd for not re- leasing others, but the work has been per- formed carefully and consclentiously, look- ing only to the best interests of the In- dlans, rather than according to the wish of those who selfishly desired to . profit through a wholesale release of restric- tions on the reservation. A system of frank and open co-operation s growing up between the white citizens, the In- dlans and the department, which cannot help but result in ultimate good to the In- | dlans. Superintendent Kneale who s now | in charge of the Omahas is & man of ex- ceptional ability and courage and good judgment, and is just the type of man needed to protect the Indians from the avarice of any white man who may grow over ambitious in his zeal to gain posses- slon of the Indians' land or money. Indeed, | everything poirts to a period of rapid de- | velopment of the Omaha Indians into self; supporting and Independent citizenship dur- ing the coming years.' A Motto Disproved.

MEXICO AND THE MEXICANS Delights of Winter Travel in the Old Land of Manana. BEAUTIES AND INCONGRUITIES Orfental in Its Ways and Yet Jarred to Wakefulness by the Most " Modern of Up-to-the- Minute Methods, GUADALAJARA, Mex., Feb. 20.—To the Editor-of The Beo: Every high school girl knows that “Across the Aips lles Italy,” but how many educated, well-informed Americans know what lles beyond the Rio Grande river in Mexico. I have now been a month In this wonderland—Old Mexico— and every minute of those thirty days has been filled with delight. Our eyes have feasted on a riot of color in sky In the tinted colors on old cathedral walls. Every morning tumultuous ringing of church bells din in our ears—not ringing slow—funereal —sedate or in Sunday chime as with us, but each individual bell ringing like our old time fire bell, all at the same time. Little tenor bells that can be heard only in & quiet intervai—ponderous booming bass bells brought from old Spain before our Pilgrim fathers took ship on the May- flower. The little bells swinging in ex- uberant excitement clear around the war- den beams to which they are strapped with bands of iron or with leather thongs. The great bells disdainnig to move are struck with huge iron hammers on the out- side rim or with ponderous clapper from within. Such & deafening hurly-burly of bell ringing never wakened a sleepy tourist at b & 'm. In any country but Mexico, Flowers, Fruits and Foed. The scent of jasamine, of orange and lemon blossom and of roses, and the new wimost overpowering odors of gorgeous tropical fiowers fill the sunladen alr you | breathe. The strange new fruit lusclous that tickle our palates and the peppery dishes that surprise our conven- tional beef-eating Anglo-Saxon stomachs. All these pleasant, new surprises to our senses make the physical man happy. But rich as are these sensational, they eink into insignificance when compared with the appeal this old land makes to our imagin- ation, and to our sympathies, No town or hamlet, but has its'legend.of old Azetee days or castle or church: of Cortes, the conqueror. Such takes of cruelty, such magnificent dreams of conquest—apd through all, the dominant greed for gold through war and pillage, and torture, until today the smelter and the mine carry on war against nature instead and the kindly, simple-minded de- vout Peon at last finds refuge in happy care free existence with all his creature comforts within easy acquirement. Ortet at Our Gates. This is Egypt over again. - The orlent at our gates, and nothing charms the west- ern mind as does the mystery that lies be- hind this old civilization. It Is as if we saw our ancesteors come to life again after 1000 years. We can see here what was meant by the command, ‘“Take up thy bed @nd walk,” when we see the native unroll pimself out of his serape—the garment of one plece—that s at the same time his protection against the weather and his bed by night We know that to g0 up on the housetop to pray— here as in Palentine, i to do the conven- tionel—the flat roof of the house is in- tended to live upon as well as to sheiter the one-story rooms below. The sandals on thelr feet, the bottles made of whole pigor sheep skins—to carry water or “pulque,” the native beverage—are the same we hear about in the “lesson for the day” In our churches at home. This is the simple life—and a more contented care froe, devout people I have never seen. Side by side with this Orlental life, un- hampered with even the rudiments of sanitary sclence are evidence of the latest word In sclentific mining and electrical apparatus, magnificent state and municipal bulldings, enlightened provision In v the A way of state theaters, beautiful public parks, fountains and statuary and “mir- dblle dictu,” we have a new Paris in the City of Mexico, with fine, wide asphait streets that chaflenge any city in the world; most beautiful public buildings of tho latest French architecture costing from $2,000000 to $12,000,000 each; model eleotric street car lines and cleaner strests than can be found elsewhere on this continent. A vigtlant police administration that makes us ashamed of our great metropolitan cities in comparison. Cause for Wonder. The beauty of this city, the charm of its street life, the lovely villas in the sub- urbs is the delight and wonder of all for- elgners, and to think that all this wonder- land lies less than a week's comfortable travel from Omaha fills me with astonish- ment that we have all been 5o slow to reap the harvest of enfoyment that awaits the tourlst who comes here any month of the vear. Judged by the results;, President Diaz is Justified in his autocratic rule and 1 have found no criticism among either foreign residents or natives. Of course, all talk of & republican form of government, as we know it, 18 ridiculous. They have elections | where nobody votes. For instance, the new governor of one of the Mexican states recelves his certificate of election on Feb- ruary 1 last for an election that does not take place until April 1 next. Forelgners clatm, however, that life and property are as safe with us. I regret to find that our tellow countrymen down here rank lowest among forelgners. So many of our people left the states not only for thelr own good, | but for the good of the “states uniteas” as well. Happily this is fast changing, as Americans with capital are rushing into Mexico, buying lands at the rate of 3,000,000 v'”“ per month and send ng down a stream of gold to buy mining properties and rail- road and street rallway stocks. The Eng- lish and Americans own the rallroads gnd street car lines of Mexico and the mines. The Germans control the hardware trade, the French have the dry goods business, and the Spaniards and Mexicans have the grocery trade and own and operate most of the cotton factories. Conguest Just Begun. The conquest of Mexico has just h..’u.n_ In a generation this country will be owned by foreign capital, and unless I greatly underrate the businesy shrewdness and comercial enterprise of my fellow citizens of the United Btates of America this country, the richest in sgricultural and mining poseibilities on the face of the earth will be benevolently assimilated by us for the greatest good to the greatest number.
