Death for Weakling Babies,
Nearly all Indian children that one
sees are hardy and well formed. This
Is becauso only those of robust consti
tution survive the trials and exposure
of their babyhood. It Is desired that
only the naturally strong should sur
vive, for It Is a custom In most of
the tribes to wilfully expose, suffoca'e
or drown born weaklings or deformed
babies. Death Is the lot of the un
happy little baby whose health and
physique are below the tribal standard.
The Albino child, aud these are more
common among the Indians thsn might
be supposed, Is certain to perish soon
after birth, because the coming of such
a child Is regarded as evidence of dis
pleasure of the Great Spirit
The redskin babe is released from
his laelnga and swaddllngs as soon as
ho Is old enough to walk, and then

great freedom. When It Is warm
enough to go without clothes, and the
Indian child Is Inured to cold, he turn
bles and romps naked. His pets are
dogs and ponies and la as fond of
these as are his blond cousins. As be

Developing the Brave.
The child Is given every possible en
coursgement to play and la nover
whipped by bis parents, because It is
the Indlau's philosophy that whipping
breaks the spirit of the child and the
Indian ambition is to be brave and
self-reliant It Is a fact that though
the Indian child Is not subject to cor
poral punishment and the ruder forms
of discipline which white children are
often made to endure, they are rover
ent, obedient, docile and extraordina
rily respectful toward tbclr parents
and seniors. It Is the 8partan quality

Carolina has a special concern. The
preservation of the forests is vital to
the welfare or every country. China
and the Mediterranean countries offer
examples of the terrible effect of de
forestation upon the physical geogra
pur, and therefore ultimately upon
the national well-being of the nations.
One of the most obvious duties which
our generation owes to the generations
that are to come after us is to pre
serve the existing forests. The prime
difference between civilized and un
civilized peoples is that in civilized
tkm to which she owes much
she is to-day and to whose people she
owes that moral and financial support
so unreservedly given at the most
critical period In her history. No,

For Open Door In China.
The Increased prestige of Japan

the problem of what influence Japan
will wield over China. Some people
go so far as to assert that Japan
will control China, proclaim the won
roe doctrine for Asia, and drive out
from the East all the white devils
and exterminate the Western lnflu
euces within its borders.
Without Questioning either the
value of the principles contained in
the so-called Monroe doctrine or its
applicability to the Eastern situation
at present I can simply nay that such
an idea has not entered into the Japa
nese mind and such a policy has not
seen even the symptoms of formation.
For tho maintenance of the Integrity
and Independence or China, Japan
Joined hands with Great Britain. For
securing equal opportunities, in China,
Japan lent her eager efforts to the
United States to make the open door
policy effectively operative.
Competition with America.
"It Is absurd," continued Mr. HiokL
"to say that In the course of a few
years American goods will be crowded
out of the Chinese market by Japa
nese competition. The main ground
upon which rests this apprehension is
that Japan has cheap labor at com
mand. But labor in Japan does not
remain cheap. The effect of the China-Japan
war was to double,' the
price of labor, and the war with Rus
sia must raise it much higher. In
spite of these disadvantages Japan
must develop her commerce and indus
try, and she will have to compete
with all the world, friend or foe. Her
commercial war will be fought Just
as fairly and squarely as the real war
She asks no favor from China that is
not granted to the entire world. She
stands for the open door and, in the
words of your great President, 'a
squard deal."

The President's Message to
Congress.
The special message sent to Con
gress by the President on the South
ern Appalachian Reserve reads like a
story. It touches upon the interest in
the subject of the scientists and the
lumberman, of the geologist and the
farmer, the meteorologist and the
fruit grower, the business man and
the engineer, and the steamship pilot
and the homeseeker. The President
transmits with his message a . report
of the Secretary of Agriculture, pre
pared in collaboration with the De
partment of the Interior, upon the
forests, rivers and mountains of the
Southern Appalachian region, and up
on its agricultural situation as affect
ed by them, and says in part:
The report of the Secretary pre
sents the final results of an investiga
tion authorized by the last Congress.
Its conclusions point unmistakably, in
the Judgment of the Secretary and in
my own, to the creation of a national
forest reserve In certain parts of the
Southern States. The facts set forth

to the welfare of the South, and hence
