of tbe nation's capital are either going
to or coming from "office." There are
blondes and brunettes, ranging frrss
eighteen years to that uncertain age
when tbe courage of man will not per

maids, wives and widows, some whose
(itthers have been great men, others
whose husbands have carved nut for
themselves illustrious careers, but who
in the heyday of their fame had failed
to lay aside dollars for the rainy days.
There are old men and young men,
some with two legs, some with one leg,
and some with no legs at all. At nine
o'clock they go to "office." At noon
they stand on the streetcorners or con-
gregate in the corridors, takiog advan-

INDIAN BOYS AS SOLDIERS
Commissioner Favors Military Training
for Indian Boys and Educating:
the Gtirls for Nurses.
Francis E. Leupp, Indian commls
sioner, has a somewoat striking theory
In regard to tbe education of Indians
which be hopes to put into practice.
He would make of Indian boys soldiers,
and of Indian girls trained nurses. He
believes that the fighting tendencies of
the Indians should be developed under
discipline, by years of drill and the ex-
perience of military requirements, and
to this end he favors the conversion of
one of the large Indian schools, pref-
erably the one at Carlisle, Pa., Into a
military academy. Tbe commissioner
regards the" vocation of nurse as par-
ticularly suitable to Indian girls, an
opinion, he says, based upon reports of
physicians that they have no superior
in such work. Commissioner Leupp

which pass In review in the early after-
noons are either government clerks or
their families. They pervade the
streets and parks, they fill the stores,
crowd tbe public conveyances, and are
factors In the success or failure pf
nearly every enterprise. Between tbe
sittings of congress they are the life
and soul of the city. They keep tbe
financial kettle boiling during tbe long
summer months when tbe congressional
and social worlds are elsewhere. There
is no Bar Harbor, no Newport, no
Florida for them. Tbey hie themselves
away into the country or to tbe nearby
coast reBorts to spend their month's
vacation and their meagre accumula-
tion of dollars. Upon their return to
tbe city tbey Dock to their suburban
resorts, they fill tbe dancing pavilions
and keep a dozen orchestras busy with
music "for the dance."
The government clerk is a necessity
to tbe progress of the community. If
be Is young in years and experience he
gives Uncle Sam a few hoirrs time each
day and usually devotes the rest to the
study of a profession or perfecting
himself In various branches of science.
After a course of three or four years in
night school he may. take up bis pro
fesslon or may follow his chosen scien-
tific career, provided be has not become
enervated by that ease which is so ap
parent in the labors of every depart-
ment clerk.

every portion of the country, and when
all has been said against them it re
mains beyond all doubt that they are
the Intelligent cream of tbe nation
This Is particularly true since tbe pro
mulgatlon of tbe famous civil service
laws. It Is widely claimed that civil
service is a farce and that Influence can
obtain for any one a position on tbe
pay roll of Uncle Sam, but, neverthe-
less, if a clerk Is appointed solely upon
influence, he or she find themselves in
competion with clerks who are Intelli-
gent and Industrious and the time
comes when they either show the good
effect of this association or by tbeir
ignorance and stupidity are forced to
tender their resignation.
boarding schools and non-reservation
schools. My belief is that -the day
school is the real foundation of every-
thing we do for the Iodlan in the way
of education. Tbe child is not taken
away from his native surroundings, but
is taught to master the conditions to
which he Is native. His teachers very
often are a man and his wife. Tbe man
teaches the lads the practical lessons of
agriculture, and the wife instructs tho
girls in domestic taeks. This is my
ideal of a school for the Indians. Only
a small per cenlage of Indian children
need go beyond this stage.
"Still, a use exists for the reservation
boarding schools, for families often
live in scattered places and without
them their children would have no me-
dium of education. But it is only a
comparatively small element among tbe
Indian children of this generation who

It Is now «aid that the disbursement
of the Delaware fund will be made by
check sent direct from Washington to
the individual beneficiary, It's a hard
blow to towns that were figuring on
picking up some easy money, and it
also has the advantage of preventing
any leaks being generally known.
There has been so much crookedness
mixed up In this Delaware payment
that tbe Examiner would not be right
sure of it if the money was put on its
desk. Tbeie has been no appropria-
tion made for tbe payment in tbe usual
w y, and the fund Itself has already
been emasculated to such an extent that
any more "expenses" would leave a
deficiency.—Bartlesville Examiner.

I would set no limit. The government

and will be benefitted by a higher edu-
cation,"
Commissioner Leupp believes that
Indian youths Bbould not be taken from
the West to the Carlisle school, to go
back and unlearn all that they have ac-
quired.
"Tbe Carlisle school can be put to a
much more efficient use," said Mr.
Leupp, "by emphasizing ^e military
part of the Instltu'.ioii. My idea—and
Capt. W. A. Mercer, superintendent at
Carlisle, agrees with me—Is to select
the most promising boys at reservation
and non-reservation boarding schools,
who are ambitious to snter the military
service, take them to Carlisle, teach
them promptness in obeying orders,
self-respect and cleanly habits, and de-
velop in them the essent'al attributes
of a soldier. I would teachthem attlie
same time a trade, such as can be used
In the military field, electrical work,
blacksmlthing, or such another trade.
It Is the habit of officers, when casting
about for non commissioned officers,
to look for a man who can do something
more than carry a gun and shoot It.
"There are several lines regarding
girls which can be improved at Car-
lisle," said Mr. Leupp, "and the one
most conspicuous Is that of the trained
nurse. The Indian girl has several
qualities deemed valuable by physi-
cians. Most conspicuous is the fact
that her sympathies do not control her.
She follows tbe orders of the physician
without deviation. The result is that
we have already a greater demand for
tbe nurses that we turn out at Carlisle
than we can supply."

ADVERTISING
Is Not an Experiment
A
MAN goes into business and wants trade. It
is a first question, and an ever abiding one:
"How shall I get it?" He may, if he choose, sit
down in his office or behind his counter with arms
folded and wait for it to come to him. And he will
wait. The old aphorism, "All things come to him
who waits," does not apply in business. The modecn-
paraphrase of the axiom is, "All things come to him
who hustles." Some men look upon advertising as a
luxury. They look at it from the point of cost, and
begrudge the money they put into it. The one and
only true way is to consider it as an auxiliary, reliable
and necessary. It is not a mercenary, but a part of
the business itself. As it is true that he who desires
trade must seek for it, so it is equally true that the
field of advertising is the one in which to find the de-
sired pearl of success. It is not a luxury, but a neces-
sity. It is not expensive, since it more than pays its
way when properly treated. Successful business men
confess their obligation to advertising. The footsteps
of successful men may well be followed. Those who
would win trade and hold it must adopt methods that
have been tried and proved. Advertising is not an
experiment, but a proved and indisputable fact.
Advertising in The Arrow will bring results.
