This clause. In accord with th t- pressed Intention of the committee and the commissioner of Indian affairs to ao away witn all nonreservatlon Indian schools in the United States, makos only one stipulation In the proposed gift It is that tho state must maintain the scnooi as an educational Institution, to which Indians may be admitted on tha same footing aa white children Other states in which nonreservatlon schools are maintained are to have the same opportunity as Pennsylvania, and me clause auuiorizea me commissioner to ascertain which states would be willing to make tbe stlDulateri urt. ment. ' From the clan as tnntmtprf In tk. wording of the clause It Is thought there may be a tendency among the committee members to . swing In line with the plan DrODOsed bv Alhnrt w Nash, an Indian graduate of Carlisle, who suggested that the institution be maintained as a high school to which Indians who have passed through the reservation schools mav eom Tf tha state should accept the proposition, this would, in effect, be accomplished, with the added feature that white an wail as Indian pupils would be admitted.

'Never before baa business been so dull. "Married people are entirely too happy," declared I. D. Partem, "and 1 consider it a shame and an outrage the way men are sticking to their homes. What Is to become of the divorce court? Here Is an Institution established at a trreat expense by the State and Its rolng to ruin because people refuse to patronize it. "My complaint la mostly agolnst the captains or industry, Why. only a few months ago they were our best pa trons, and now we do not have a single case or 'inhuman cruelty.' This per nicious Influence has spread to the working classes. And it is rare that the is used in a family argument. I also blame the co-respondents. They are the reactionaries in this Vlump. Not one of them seems to have any moral regard for the feelings of the lawyers. "It's the same all over tha mnntrr.
