CONSIDEIU-N'U THE INDIAN
It can hardly be possible that,
those who still persist in talking
ox the passing or the American In
diau a nil who seem to be remark
ably successful in getting their
.vtic.ea published, take the trouble
to acquaint themselves with the
facts. The truth is, if government
reports are to be trusted, and
there is no good reason for doubt
ing their accuracy in this respect,
instead ot' passing, the American In
dian in the United States is just
coming into his own. Of course he
is ceasing very largely to be the
picturesque individual he wa3 sev
enty-five, fifty or even twenty-five
years ago. If it is the Indian of
the "wild West'' type that is
meant, he assuredly is passing, and
his passing is no new thing to any
body whe knows either the West or
the Indian. Visitors to the trans
-Missouri region, to the great south
west or to the- great Northwest, are
probably greatly surprised in these
days because they do not see
Manktud Indians around the rail
road sui iou o- Indian village in
th"ir tr::.s into the interior. The
blanketed and the nomadic Indian
are rare sights iu any part of the
l.'uited States today. Yet Indians
are to te seen in plenty if oue
happens to be expert iu discerning
the Indian from people of other
'lark-sainne»l races.
Cato Sells, commissioner of In
dian -it'airs, com-.'s pretiy near sum
ming u;i the entire matter when he
sa:d recently; "This spring we
have furnished tile Indians nearly
»aree times as much seed as dur
'■■z any previous year, and' there,
is every indication that they are!
becoming thoroughly aroused to
their industrial opportunity. This
is true not only along farming
lines, but quite as much, if not
more so, in stock raising." •
There is ample evidence going'
to show that the Indians are be
coming very successful farmers aud j
stock raisers. • But no limitation
Jieed be placed upon the Indian's
capabilities that is not placed up
on. the capabilities of the white
man. In public life and in public
office, in the professions and iu
the trade, Indians are quite as
prominent and quite as successful as
^hi'.ts today, considering them
relatively. There are many Indians
now iu responsible positions in the!
state and national government. The
advancement of the Indian in the
lost twenty-five years has been re
markable, and in no way is it more
promising than in the fact that he
is ready to take the work that
lies nearest him, quick in the mas
tery of its details and ambitious
to succeed in it and to progress
beyond it.
fhe Indian is not going; he is i
coming.—c. s. .Monitor.
DOESN'T LIKE
MOKE CENSORSHIP ]
Whitehorse Star: The feature!
c-J the news bulletin of Monday was :
the Ottawa dispatch which told {
ci an order in council establishing a
censorship in Canada. While no
details were given as to the na
ture of the censorship, there is
little reason for believing that it
has to do with the further sup^es-1
Eing of war news which has, and
verv unwisely, we believe, beeu al
ready suppressed to the injury of
the allies. If the Ottawa censor
ship means "that anything ia the
way of treasonable publications and
utterances in Canada are to be sub
What Is the Best Remedy For

Wm. Brltu i
ject to a board of censure, It is
jugt aud proper that such 'measure
should be taken and no fault can
be found'with it by loyal citizens.
We do not believe there is a
newspaper in England, Cauda or
any other British. possession that
has sanctioned the rigid censorship
established on all news matter at
the beginning of the war and since
rigidly maintained. We do not b°
lievj the suppression of facts has
accomplished anything bu', on the
other hand, such suppression has
worked great injury to thg cause it
was intended to assist. In 'the
early stages of tho war practically
the only news given out was of con
tinuous victories. Tho result was
that eligible men did not enlist for
the good and sufficient reason that
they did not think their services
would be required. Hence a sys
tem of registering and much talked
of conscription. Even yet our bul
letins tell us of the retaking of
trenches which were never men
;iom'd as having been lost. The
result is that the average reader
comes to the conclusion that he is
being kept in the dark regarding
wha* is going on iu the thick of
the fights and heuaturally becomes
susp.cious. Again, any mau who
contemplates enlisting for service
ou the front is entitled to know
what he is going agaiust.
.Lastlv, and owing to the t!'or
ougr.. if reprehensible, well organ
ized, if unprincipled, system of es
pionage maintained bv the Germans,
we bel.'tve the latter have kept iu
much closeer' touch with the opera
tions—yes, and tho intentions—of
the allies than have their most ar
dent friends and sympathizers.
For the above reasons it is hard
to believe that what little news we
receive is to bo further hand-picked.

The Result of
a Caprice
By LOUISE B. CUMMINGS
"Auntie, why were you never mar
ried? I have heard that lu youp youth
you were a great belle."
"My dear," replied the old lady,
"why I was not married la a painful
story to me. It has been constantly
with me ever since 1 was nineteen
years old, but 1 have never talked
about it There Is a lesson in it for
young girls like you, and on that ac
count I will tell it to you."
Then the old lady told me the follow
ing story:
You know that I was born and raised
In the south on ono of those planta
tions that represented typical high life
there before the war destroyed the In
stitution which was its foundation. 1
came of age shortly before the struggle
opened. I suppose it is true that I was
a belle. Would that I had not been
such, for the attention I received
turned my head and caused what em
bittered my life.
Among my suitors were Alfred Beale
and Edgar Turulee. Tarnleo was my
favorite—indeed, I was very much in
love with hiiu—but 1 wished to bo
striven for aud alternately encouraged
him aud his rival, Alfred Beale. One
day I was sitting In the drawing room
of the plantation house with Edgar.
My back as well as his was toward the
door opening into the great hall, while
my face was toward a .large mirror
resting on the mantel over the Ore
place. I caught a glimpse of the re
flection of Alfred Beale In the hall.
He saw both Edgar and me sitting
together, rie paused and looked at us.
making no sound to indicate to us that
he was there. Indeed, he was eaves
dropping. but I thought llttlo of that
I was wrapt in the idea of being an
object of strife between two young
men aud was tempted to see whnt
would happen between them should I
purposely increase their antagonism.
I had been expecting a proposal from
Edgar and now gave him every en
couragement lie was placing an arm
around my waist and. his face was
neir tulne when 1 gave a little shriek
and drew away from him. assuming to
be Indignant. Iteale stepped Into the
room and. glaring at Edgar, upbraided
him. Edgar looked an appeal to me to
exonerate him.
It N impossible to give reasons for
the freaks that enter the heads of |
young persons, especially young girls. 1
In the matter of coquetry. Instead of
taking the blame of Edgar's act upon
myself. I walked out of the room,
leaving my admirers to settle the con
troversy in their own way. I had no
sooner left them than it occurred to me
that I had acted abominably. If I had

ivas ubout to do so when I remembered
Shot such nn acknowledgment would
3ring down upon mo tho contempt of
>otb men—that Is, If It were believed,
which I doubted.
While I was deliberating I heard
Iwth men go out of the house. I
started to call them back, but hesi
tated, and before I had made up my
nind what to do they were out of
learing.
I wondered what would come to pass
between them. It did not occur to me
:hat they would fight a duel. Dueling
>y this time had largely died out In the
south, and I was too young to have
heard much of an obsolete custom.
What chiefly concerned uie was that I
bad so deeply wronged the man I
loved. I was not only suffering from
consciousness of having done him an
Injustice, but was panic stricken lest
lie should never forgive me.
The affair began In the afternoon,
and from then until bedtime 1 was In
i state of dread, not that anything se
rious might occur between the rivals,
but that I had lost my lover. In the
middle of tho night my father came
Into my room and asked me for an ex
planatloirof what had happened, for he
had heard of It Instead of telling him
the truth, I left him with tho impres
sion that Edgar had transcended his
rights and Alfred had resented his act
I asked father what had come of It,
and he replied that I would learn the
result In the morning; tiien ho left me.
This was the first intimation 1 had
of any tiling serious between the two
men. Suddenly it flashed upon me
that they would fight. I trembled. 1
lay turning the matter over in my
brain, which was like a boiling cal
dron. With the first* light of dawn 1
arose, dressed myself, stole down the
great staircase and out on to the ve
rauda. looking out from behind a vine,
I saw Edgar and two other young
men riding by the plantation. Going
to the barn, 1 saddled my horse, mount
ed and followed them.
I cannot dwell on the rest It Is too
painful. I was some time In finding
where they had gone. When 1 reach
ed them they had fought a duel with
pistols, and Alfred Iieale was lying on
the ground, while a surgeon was bend
ing over him. I hurried to him to sec If
he were dead and was assured that his
wound would not be fatal. I turned
to Edgar. He gave me a look that
has haunted me ever since. 1 saw in
It that I had lost him forever.
Ycu have heard my story. May It be
a lesson to you that love is not a game
for passing the time that young persons
regard it. Love is a serious matter
and should be treated seriously. Retter
the European method of matches made
by parents than the follies committed
by some young men and women when
left to their own caprices.
