sightseer that ever the world's metropolis
'Identified, and It does identify Bryan.
"Wherever he goes he is recognized, and
there Is about as much curiosity about
him as there Is about the King of Italy,
who Is also in London. It was this
King who gave Bryan his first sight of
royalty. Bryan was returning from the
Cheshire Cheese when a procession es
corting the visiting ruler came along the
Thames embankment from the Guild Hall,
and the apostle of Democracy found him
self hemmed in by a crowd In front of
Somerset House. The embankment was
lined with soldiers and policemen, and
Bryan soon found what was expected, and
waited on the sidewalk for the royal car
riage to come.
Kinpr Edward was not in the procession,
but the Prince of Wales and the Duke of
Connaught were. So. Mr. Bryan had a
good view of them; also of the King and
Queen of Italy Their Majesties looked a
good deal bored, by the whole proceeding,
and something of the same expression was
noticed on the face of the great Ne
braEkan. A Characteristic Comment.
His only comment on the royal parade
was that the English people seemed to
take their dignitaries philosophically.
As a matter of fact, the English are so
used to seeing Kings and Queens driving
around that they really make very little
fuss about royalties. The cheering along
the line was thin and ragged, and the dec
orations meager. "They ought to attend a
Democratic convention or two and take a
few lessons in enthusiasm," suggested Mr.
Bryan.
The next stage in his exploration of
London led Bryan to Westminster Abbey.
The verger took him through and pointed
out the tombs of forgotten Kings, mur
dered Princes and beheaded notables in
the sing-song way peculiar to the tribe of
exhibitors of famous places. Here, as
elsewhere, Bryan was thorough and sys
tematic. First, he thoroughly Inspected
the beautiful building on all sides; then
he took the decorations, panels and carv
ings In the nave and transept, sternly
averting his eyes from the monuments
and tombs until he had secured a proper
impression of their surroundings. Then
ho went with the verger, and that gowned
guldo had a new experience. Bryan did
INDIAN NEEDS A CHANCE
JONES SAYS TREAT HIM SAME
AS THE WHITE MAN.
Commissioner Fully Explains the
Policy He Would Pursue in
His Annual Report.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, Nov. 27. "Give the Indian a white
man's chance. Educate him In the rudi
ments of our language. Teach him to
work. Send him to his home, and tell
him he must practice what he has been
taught or starve. It will In a generation
or more regenerate the race. It will ex
terminate the Indian, but develop a man.
Protect him only so far that he may gain
confidence In himself, and let nature and
civilized conditions do the rest"y
This is the way that Hon. "William A.
Jones, Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
proposes to solve, and is solving tho so
called "Indian problem." In his annual
report, but recently made public. Commis
sioner Jones dwells at length on the sub
ject of Indian education. Close scrutiny
of that report shows that every effort is
being made to annihilate the Indian as a
race, and to bring him. more and more
into the ranks of tho self-supporting
American citizen. The following extracts
from tho report show what is being ac
complished: "There are only two phases of the In
dian question: One, that the American
Indian shall remain In the country ub a
survival of the aboriginal Inhabitants, a
study for the ethnologist, a toy for the
tourist, a vagrant at the mercy of the
state, and a continual pensioner upon the
bounty of the people; the other, that he
shall be educated to work, live, and act as
a reputable, moral citizen, and thus be
come a self-supporting, useful member of
society.
"The latter is the policy of the present
administration of Indian affairs, and if
carried to its legitimate conclusion will
settle for all time the'Indian question.'
Such a settlement will be an honor to
the Government and a credit to the In
dian. He will then pass out of our na
tional life as a painted, feather-crowned
hero of the novelist to add the current of
his free, original American blood to the
heart of this great nation.
"To educate the Indian in the ways of
civilized life, therefore, is to preserve
him from extinction, not as an Indian,
but as a human being. As a separate
entity he cannot exist encysted, as It.
were, in the body of this great nation.
The pressure for land must diminish his
reservations to areas within which he can
utilize the acres allotted to him, so that
the balance may become homes for white
farmers who require them. To educate
the Indian Is to prepare him for the
abolishment of tribal relations, to take
his land In severalty, and in the sweat of
his brow and by the toil of his hands to
carve out, as his white brother has
done, a home for himself and family.
"Practical education Is what he most
requires the knowledge of how to make
a living, even under adverse circum
stances. The first step Is the acquire
ment of the English language. Without
it he is powerless to transact Intelli
gently the ordinary affairs of life, to
dispose of the produce of his farm or
the Increase of his herds. Indian schools
are therefore limited In text-book Instruc
tion to the ordinary common school
branches. Higher mathematics, geometry,
and astronomy have no place in the
curriculum of schools suported by the
Government for Indian children.
"Common sense dictates that it Is un
wise to turn the whilom children of the
forest out upon a farm with only those
rudiments of an education which, while
sufficient for the average white citizen
with inherited tendencies to struggle for
a living, arc inadequate to enable a red
child to wring an existence out of the
frequently ungenerous soil and under ad
verse conditions. The Government must
therefore advance a step further toward
paternalism. If you will and teach its
Indian wards how intelligently to plant
and cultivate crops and reap the har
vest While doing this it must also In
still a love for work, not for work's own
sake, but for the reward which it will
bring.
"By the issuing of rations and the pay
ment of annuities, lease money and grass
funds, the Incentive to work has been
removed, the Government freely giving
to the red man that for which the white,
the black and the yellow must toll early
and late. These latter do no work un
less compelled by necessity to do so;
neither will the Indian. Rations were a
necessity in the past, but that day has
gone, except for the old, infirm and
physically incapacitated. The absurdity
of the Government spending hundreds of
dollars to educate an Indian to work,
then, after teaching the necessity, send
ing him home to his reservation to be
supported In idleness, is all too manifest.
It were far better not to educate at all
if education is to be nullified by unwise
gratuities.
"Indian education is hampere'd on the
one side by the misguided, sentimental
friendship of those who place the Indian
upon too lofty a pinnacle, who contend
that the white man's treatment of him,
in the present and in the past, is cruel
and Inhuman, and, on the other side,
by those who, in their greed t for his
lands and money, act upon the olid theory,
"No good Indian but a dead one." The
Indian Office is the target of both these
classes, who are prompt on all occasions

not disturb him in his recital of the names
and deeds of mere Kings and Queens, but
he cross-questioned him closely about
every tomb that holds the body of a man
distinguished for what he did for the
people.
Sees Everything and Everybody.
He tarried at the spot from which
Cromwell's body was torn after the Res
toration to be hanged, and spent much
time in the Poet's Corner. He would not
discuss the effect of so much buried royal
splendor, but there was with him all the
time his son. William, Jr., and it was
easy, from the manner in which he called
the boy's attention to the violence of the
death of so many great ones of English
history, to read his mind. He was tre
mendously Impressed by the beauty of the
Abbey itself, but the record pf murders,
beheadings and violations of the sepulchre
made a stronger Impression upon him
than did the glory of the Dukes and Kings
of England.
Bryan differs from the majority of
American sightseers in London. He really
wants to see and hear and doesn't caro
who knows that ho is a tenderfoot in
London. He questions everybody trades
men, policemen, cabbies and porters, as
well as Ambassadors and others of dis
tinction. He pays all charges without
objection, and meets the tipping question
without flinching, but he asks the cab
men all about themselves, their earnings,
their history, and absorbs knowledge at
every stage of his Jourjieylngs. The
souvenir books, guides and catalogues
which he has already collected would
make a first-class start for a library of
London reference.
He has a wonderful Instinct of direction,
and once over a route the most Intricate
turnings of London's lanes and alleys are
plain to him. "Whatever else happens him,
he will not be lost In London. English re
porters have been thick about him, but
they have not gained half as much from
him as he has from them. From inter
viewed he invariably becomes the inter
viewer, and from these men who know
London so well he Is accumulating a store
of knowledge such as few passing visitors
to London obtain. His trained systematic
mind labels and pigeonholes every fact he
hears. His sightseeing Is secondary to this
pursuit-of knowledge
best methods of civilizing these people.
Were the department to follow these
heterogeneous counsels, Its policy would
Illustrate forcibly the fate of the man
who shapes his conduct in accordance '
with the last advice received, and Inevit
ably winds up in disaster and ruin. There
is probably no department of the Govern
ment to which free counsel, abuse and
criticism, are so lavishly given as to that
which is charged with the management !
of Indian affairs. The advice of those
who are sincerely interested in the welfare
of these people, who have 'no ax to grind,
and who have had opportunity to study
the difficulties of the situation from a
practical standpoint is always of value
and carefully considered. All wisdom
relative to the management of the red
man Is not by any means assumed by the
Indian Office.
"A great nation or a strong character is
not developed In a day; neither Is an In
dian made a useful citizen. Slowly must
old habits and customs be eradicated and
new ones formed. A conservative course
Is the only safe one. Tho Indian, under
firm but kindly counsels, has developed,
and Is developing, those characteristics of
mind and body which fits him to assume
the guardianship of his own interests and
become self-supporting. That some, even
many, Indians who have been from child
hood under the care of Government
schools relapse Into old habits Is true;
nothing else could be expected. The young
of the wild bird, though born In captivity,
naturally retains the instincts of freedom
so strong in the parent and beats the
bars to secure It, while after several gen
erations of captivity the young bird will
return to the cage after a brief period
of freedom. So with the Indian child.
The first wild redskin placed in tho school
chafes at the loss of freedom and longs
to return to his wlldwood home. His off
spring retains some of the habits acquired
by the parent- These habits receive fresh
development in oach successive genera
tion, fixing new rules of conduct, differ
ent aspirations and greater desires to be
in touch with the dominant race.
"The Indian school of the present Is not
the institution of the past generation.
Mistakes are being corrected, and, while
they are still Imperfect, the schools are
striving to raise the Indian character and
prepare the young generation for the time
when the parental hand of the Govern
ment must be taken away. The evolution
of the school system may, therefore, be
said to have led to the establishment of
reservation and nonreservatlon schools. In
the former, local environment is a prom
inent factor; in the lattfcr, a wider reach
is given the young Indian to acquire a
more intimate connection with civilization
In some of Its best centers. It is true,
however, that with tho Influx of popula
tion Jn the Indian country, the construc
tion of rallroalls, and tho building of
cities, the line of demarkatlon between
the older reservation and nonreservatlon
institutions is rapidly disappearing.
"While day schools are growing In Im
portance, the Indian paront In only a few
places has advanced sufficiently to appre
ciate education, sq as to compel attend
ance. The day school is in Itself a great
clvlllzer, cultivating the refinements of life
and dispensing the gospel of cleanliness.
For some years to come It cannot take the
place of the boarding school, but Is its
most valuable adjunct.
"The Ideal system is and it could be
carried out but for the excess In number
of nonreservatlon schools to enroll the
young child of the camps In the day
school, then pass him Into the reserva
tion boarding school, where he should re
main until he has completed tho sixth
grade, when, If he possesses the natural
aptitude to acquire a trade or further
education, send him to a nonreservatlon
school. If for physical or mental dis
abilities this Is undesirable, return him to
his home. This Is an Ideal system, but
for reasons over which the department
has no control It seems impossible of being
carried Into effect. Everything possible,
however. Is being done to bring about
such a result, and new rules have been
put In force limiting and defining the ter
ritory from which each nonreservatlon
school may draw pupils."
EOTABY ENGINE.
invented by Man Who Died When
Success Was Assured.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
Did Julius M. Farmer, who died Thurs
day at the County Hospital, succeed in
solving the problem of a practical rotary
engine, on which engineers havo worked
for the last 40 years, only to die after a
quarter of a century of effort on the eve of
the realization of his hopes and the reap
ing of a rich Teward for a life of hard
work and privation? His friends claim
that he did. They declare that recent testa
of Mr. Farmer's great work have demon
strated that In It he had Invented a
rotary engine that will revolutionize the
engine-building world and that a company
will soon put tho Invention on tho mar
ket. "For many years engineers have en
deavored to perfeot the rotary engine."
said J. E. Matteson yesterday. "Many
machines have been constructed which
would work, but all of them were imprac
tical, Inasmuch as they required too much
steam to develop any power. For 25
years. In the Intervals of other work, Mr.
Farmer worked on this problem, and at
last produced a machine which was tested
a week ago last Sunday at the National
Blower Company's plant on St. Paul ave
nue, and proved to be a perfect success.
"The great advantages of the rotary en
gine are Its small size, Its economy of
space, and reduction in the amount of fuel
required to develop high power. AH of
these things have been accomplished by
Mr. Farmer's invention, and the 30 Mil
waukee men who own the invention will
soon organize a company, heavily capital
ized, which will put the Invention on tho
market,
"The best description of the engine Is to
say that It is a mass of engines comprised
In one machine. Instead of the moveable
shaft, the engine Itself rotates on a sta
tionary shaft. The simplicity of the ma
chine is a strong point in Its favor, as It is
composed of only 26 parts as against 200
and 300 parts In other machines. At the
test a week ago, 26 horsepower was devel
oped with 70 pounds of steam, and it was
shown that with 100 pounds of steam 40
horsepower could be developed from this
little engine, which is only 30 Inches high.
It contains eight engines, flvo by five
Inches in size.
"Many other rotary engines have been
patented, but they have never been suc
cessful. They have never economized in
steam and the few that have been put in
active operation have never paid and have
soon been abandoned."
Henry Coudser.foreman of the Krause &
Schneck Company, in whose shop the en
gine was built, pronounced it a complete
suqeess. t
"The experimental tests made a week
ago Sunday demonstrated the success of
Mr. Farmer's invention," said Mr. Coud
ser, "and it Is a pity he could not havo
lived to witness the triumph of his Ideas.
The small size of the engine, its economy
In steam, the fact that a 50-horsepower
engine of its kind can be built at one
third the cost of the other styles of en
gines, all make it a revolution in tho
engineering world."

of her exploits at TJshant reveal the ex
tent of her daring and bravery. She was
gathering shellfish on the rocks near the
Pyramlde du Runlon, when out of the fog
she heard despairing cries, and looking
seaward perceived a boat containing 14
men which was drifting wildly at the
mercy of the strong currents among a
mass of dangerous reefs. Every now and
again it was buffeted by the surf, which
threatened to dash the frail craft to
pieces. The occupants of the boat, half
naked and afraid to throw themselves
Into the sea on account of the swift tide,
plied their oars with tho courago of de
spair and shouted at tho top of their
voices for assistance.
Rose at once signalled to them with her
arms that she was coming to their aid,
apd the shipwrecked men on perceiving
her meaning pulled with all their strength
for the shore. Rose ran down to the foot
of the cliffs, and without losing a mo
ment, plunged Into the boiling surf,
dressed as sho was, and swam to the
boat. Climbing on board, sho reassured
the sailors as best she could, for she
speaks little French, and then, taking
her place at the rudder, steered the boat
with marvelous adroitness past a thou
sand dangerous reefs to Pen-ar-Rock,
distant about twohours by rowing from
the Pyramlde du Runlon.
GIRLS IN TR0TJSEBS ON A BET
Had to Wear 'Em on Street Because
They Lost on Election.
New York Sun.
Sadie Morrison and Lillian Nodlne, who
live in Jersey City, paid an election bet
late Tuesday night by dressing in men's
clothes and taking a long walk through
the Lafayette section, arm in arm with
Louis Lake, a Third Ward Republican.
The young women were ardent supporters
of Police Justice James J. Murphy, the
Democratic mayoralty, candidate, who fell
over 30C0 votes short "of defeating Mayor
Mark M. Fagan. They were so certain
that Mr. Murphy would be elected that
they took a. chance of winning a $10 Win
ter hat each from. Lake by agreeing to
put on men's togs if they lost.
When Lake called at Miss Morrison's
homo and rang the bell tho door sud
denly opened, a tall, square-shouldered
individual, wearing, a black derby and a
long light overcoat, stepped out Into the
glare of the electric light.
"Well, I'll be darned," said Lake, catch
ing his breath, and Miss Morrison's only
reply was a giggle. The pair locked arms
and walked along Van Horn street a few
doors to the home of Miss Nodlne, where
they were Joined by that young woman,
resplendent in striped trousers, a lo.g
black overcoat and a light colored Fedora
hat.
Miss Nodlne seized Lake's left arm and
the trio started up Communipaw avenue.
Every time a pedestrian approached, tho
masqueraders threw back their shoulders,
stopped snickering, looked straight ahead
and quickened their pace. Lake was al
most winded .when they reached the
"Junction" Communipaw avenue and
Grand street and the women steered him
Into an ice cream saloon. Three plates
of cream were ordered, and the women
spilled some of it on the lapels of their
borrowed overcoats in their excitement.
Nobody penetrated their disguises, al
though the proprietor looked hard when
the "man with the money" tried to locate
har trousers pocket In search of cash to
pay tho blH.

This evening at 8 o'clock Father Ven
ables will speak on the "Church's Law of

BABY COFFEE TOPERS
Were Given Coffee at 2 Years of Age.
"My mother always gave her children
coffee to drink from the lime they were
old enough to hold a cup, consequently I
used It from the time I was 2 years old
to my 18th year," says a young lady of
Potomac, 111.
"Although I never suspected it, coffee
waa all this time undermining my health
and suddenly without any warning I was
taken with nervous prostration. At times
I could scarcely breathe and my face
twitched continually.
"I was almost helpless and my stomach
was out of order all the time. For three
years I was treated, with only temporary
relief, having to stay In bed nearly all
the time. Then my uncle, an old physi
cian, came to visit us and as soon as he
had studied my case a little bit, he said:
" 'Let me get you a square meal. I
think I can make better coffee than any
one In this house.'
"So I waited patiently for I did love
good coffee and I thought I had never
tasted such delicious coffee as that was
and I wondered why others could not
make it Just the same. So uncle told me
he would teach them Just how It was
made.
"In this way I drank Postum Coffee
for nearly a month before I knew It. I
found my stomach getting so much better
and all my troubles disappearing and in
a few weeks I was up and around the
house again and stronger and better than
I had been for a long time. I am still
growing stronger every day and I am
doing my best to get my friends to do
away with coffee and use Postum In Its
place.
"Coffee almost ruined me and I know It
and I know the only way that I got rid
of it and got well was by drinking
Postum in its place. I have found out
that you must be careful to follow direc
tions on the Postum package to make
good Postum." Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Look In each package for a copy of
the famous little book, "The Road to
I WellviUe."
