that the civil war could not have re

1913, by American
Press Association.
DIAN BUREAU
An examination should be made into Indian affairs, and it should be
most searching. I am satisfied that it will be easy to discover a large
number of wrongs that have been done the Indians and certain and
SERIOUS DEFECTS IN OUR METHOD OF HANDLING THEM.
Instead of a temporary commission, which can, I fear, do little more
than unearth the various matters of scandal in the various agencies
(some of which are now being examined into), I trust the congress will
Bee fit to establish a PERMANENT COMMISSION, which shall super:
sede the present system of administration and have the fullest power
necessary to reorganize the bureau.
This commission should get such powers as will permit it to decen
tralize the administration of Indian affairs,' allowing great authority to
competent, well paid agents in the field. :
I am satisfied from what examination I have made that there are tens
of thousands of so called Indians whose property to a greater or less
degree is under the control of this bureau, who are as COMPETENT
TO ATTEND TO THEIR AFFAIRS as any men or women of the
white race. There are thousands of others of the half blood who are an
expense to the government, who should not be regarded as dependent,
but; who should get their , property and be allowed t,o SHIFT FOR
THEMSELVES. " ' ; :
These questions of policy are fundamental. To deal with this mat,
ter adequately any investigation undertaken should be one that searches
for causes, not for symptoms.

DILLMAN & HOWLAND
sons why failure was foredoomed t
cause. They are grandly stated in
Lincoln's Gettysburg oration. The
cause of all republics, all humanity,
was at stake. If the United States
went to wreck what hope remained
for any nation so constituted? Two,
divided against each other, would be
a sorry remnant of the one founded by
Washington and the generals and
statesmen associated with him. If
Lee's army had been twice as strong
slavery would have gone down event
ually. It has- bean abolished in a'.l
civilized countries. Yet it was in the
Confederate constitution. The United
States pursues the destiny that, in a
general way, was intended by tits
founders. Happily, the former Con
federates are as patriotic as any citi
zens. A man of Southern birth is
president. The party that bore the
chief responsibilities of the Union
cause would respond to any new and
worthy call. It will come back, but
meantime its love of country is just
the same.
A HARD Whatever may be. thought
KNOT of the wisdom of Mr. Land's
mission to Mexico, every right-thinking
American is pleased with his
peaceful reception and hopes that
somehow it will work for good. The
stiuation is complicated and delicate.
To bring about the elimination of a
goveijjhient which we refuse to recog
nize, and to get that government to
assist us to destroy itself, is, it must
be admitted, a task which will re
quire the diplomatic genius of a Tal
leyrand to accomplish. And it is
nothing less than that, if it is to be
done peacefully. Huerta is in control
of the machinery of administration of
the Mexican government. There is
no question as to that. He is provis
ional president in acordance with the
forms of Mexican law. That it is only
the form and not the spirit, and that
he acquired the office by methods
which would not be tolerated for a
moment in this country, or in any
other country of equal enlightenment,
does not alter the fact that he is the
provisional president. Our govern
ment does not recognize him as such
officially, but it is compelled to do so
unofficially, for it is only through
him that a peaceful settlement is pos
sible. The Wilson administration in

and in this particular it has, we be
lieve, the support and the sympathy

not be held until it is called by the
Huerta government, and Huerta, un

election. In as much, therefore, a
an election means his removal, he is
in no hurry to call one, and is- not
likely to view with good nature our
efforts to hasten his going.' . That is
the knot which our personal and un
official envoy is expected to untie. Can
he do it? We hope so. For the pro;
tectiou Of the lives and property of
Americans in Mexico we hope so.
For the preservation of peace we hope
so. There are' surer and speedier
ways of solving the problem than this

tration, but if it can be done this wa?
so be it. It must not be long delayed,
however. Fabian tactics and Quoixo

we have our limitations.
IDEALS.
Ideals are like stars; you will not suc

But. like the seafaring man-on deserts of
water, you choose them as your guides,
and following them you reach your des
tiny. CARL, SCHURZ.
It is the custom to think that only
educated persons, men and women ..of
book learning, have ideals.
Not so. The Power that fashioned
the human brain did not give the right
to dream, to see beyond the moment,
alone to the person who has studied
the philosophies of Greece or has delv
ed in the mysteries of the higher math
ematics. .
Some of the finest followers of ideals
are found among the dwellers in the
wind swept prairies who have never
seen the walls of academy or college.
Among the shepherds on the lonely
heights, fighting cold and snow that
their charges may live, are dreamed
dreams that are akin to the wisdom of
Socrates, the reasoning of Aristotle, the
speculations of Kant
The cohhler who puts an honest
patch on your shoe works a little of his
Ideal on the line taken by his waxed
thread The bric'kln-yer, squaring his
brick true with the wail and laying his
mortar properly, reali7.es an ideal.
: Som;etiii!es these humble followers of
Ideals can put their thoughts into
words Then, following behind the
plow with the man who holds the han
dle, we hear homely wisdom which, if
we could translate it into words, would
add to the world's store of wisdom."
Among the higher, finer spirits who
labor hard with their hands and still
harder to give birth to the children of
their brains, we hear worded poetry
that Is kin to the expressed ideals of
flie best of writers.
The Ideals are there. Only oftentimes
the expression Is wanting
As Sen n res said, these men cannor
touch their ideals with their bands
They cannot give body and shape to
them.
Kut they can do more and better
They can live their Ideals

One of the models is of this artist
type, the trimming being merely an
inconspicuous band of galon.
The other hat is of plush, but a little
more ornate in its trimming scheme,
metal wings used in Mercury fashion
being posed at one side of the creation.
Dressy Little Bows For the Neck.
This is a season of bows, and there
is a great variety of designs. Small
bows of color showing a combination
of silk and lace or velvet and lace
are especially attractive. Many are
trimmed with rhinestone buttons.
Quite a number are made with ends
in jabot form, the bow at the top be
ing rather small. Bulgarian silks are
raada up into bow and jabot effects.
Other materials employed are crepe'
de chines, plain taffetas and flowered
silks. Besides the entire bow of Bul
garian design, touches of Bulgarian
colors are also used in giving an en
livening touch of color to many of the
white designs.

The Mother's Part.
At a recent wedding the bride came
down the aisle on hei , father's arm,
but at the 'roper moment her mother
stepped from the pew and "gave the
bride away." so that she had a share
in the actual wedding. It was a sweet
thought that gave her more than the
insi'jnincant part the mother usually
has iu a marriage ceremony.
Origin of Irish Lace.
Irish lace originated from the fail
ure of the iwtato crop that caused the
famine of 184(5 The abbess of a con
vent in County Cork, looking about for
some lucrative employment to help the
half starved children who attended
her schools, unraveled . thread by
thread a scrap of point de milan and
finally mastered the complicated de
tails She then selected the girls who
were quickest of needlework and
taught them what she had painfully
learned. The new industry prospered,
and one of the pupils in a pardonable
"bull" declared that "it it had not
been for the famine we would all have
been starved." Westminster Gazette.
Mary Must Not Marry Mark.
A curious idea among the Burmese
is that people born on the same day
of the week must not marry and that
if they defy the fates their union will
be marked by much ill-luck. To pre
vent these disastrous marriages every
girl carries a record of her birthday
in her name, each day of the week hav
ing a letter belonging to it, and all
children are culled by a. name that
begins with that letter. It is rather
hard if the Marys and Marks of Burma
fall in love with each other, as in this
country. Unlike other oriental lands,
the young people are allowed to marry
as taste dictates, subject only to the
birthday restrictions.
FORGIVENESS.
Nothing is more moving to man
than the spectacle of reconciliation.
Our weaknesses are thus indemni
fied and are not too costly, being
the price we pay for the hour of
forgiveness, and the archangel who
has never felt anger has reason to
envy the man who subdues it. .
When thou torgivest, the man who
has pierced thy heart' stands to thee

perlp;ates the shell of the mussel,
which vraighiway closes the wound

Deadly East Indian Duels.
. There are a good deai of savagery
and stoical disregard of death left in
the east yet despite the advance of
civilization, and this extends to the
so called sports of the people; Thus
among the natives of Baroda there ob
tains still a kind of gladiatorial dis
play in the shape of a fearful fist fight
wherein the contestants wear a very
formidable cestus of steel studded
with murderous spikes. The (fuelists

have been infuriated for the occasion

Force of a Cyclone.
Careful estimates of the force of a
cyclone and the energy required to
keep a hurricane in active operation
reveals the presence of a power that
makes the mightiest efforts of nyin
appear as nothing in comparison. A
force equal to more than 400.000,000
horsepower was estimated as devel
oped in a West Indian cyclone. This
greatly exceeds the power that could
be developed by all the means within
the range of man's capabilities. Were
steam, water, windmills and the
strength of all . men and animals com
bined they could not even approach
the tremendous force of this mighty
power. Chicago Journal.
Teaching the Child by Pictures.
One of the quickest ways in which
to put an idea or a story into a child's
mind is by means of pictures, and the
material available for Sunday school
or club work is both excellent in quali
ty a'nd of great variety.'- There are
Bible stories, films on nature study,
films illustrating the trades and in
dustries, films dealing with a pure wa
ter supply, warfare on flies, mosqui
toes and tuberculosis In the fine arts
are films tracing the progress of archi
tecture, lacemaking. pottery, sculp
ture and painting, while in literature
there are presentations of the work of
such authors as Shakespeare. Scott,
Dickens and others. Travel and his
tory are also shown. Farm Journal.

Instead of Cutting Corks.
After withdrawing a cork from a
bottle the former rapidly expands, and
when one wishes to replace it one fre
quently finds that it has become too
large for the purpose. The usual reme
dy in such cases is to pare pieces off
the side. This, however, is seldom
satisfactory, for the cork, as a rule, is
far from airtight, -and in some cases
will not even keep the liquid in. A
better way is to place It on the floor
and roll it backward and forward with
one's foot, putting a certain amount
of pressure on it. After a few min
utes of this persuasive treatment it
will have become fairly soft and can
be inserted in the bottle without diffi
culty. An Odd Place of Worship.
