INDIANS TO PE TAUGHT TO
SUPPORT THEMSELVES

“The government hopes to
make Indians self-supporting
and economically independent
of the former paternal attitude
of the government during the
i.ext gerenation” said J. Henry
Scattergood, Assistant Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs at Ho
quiam, Washington while en
route to the Quiniault reserva
tion. “The Indian Department
is attempting to educate the
tribesmen,” he said, “So they
can be assinvlated into the
ranks of other citizens and will
hi able to take an active part
n society. Of the 350.000 In
dians in this country all but
100.000 are government wards.”
Sounds as if the Indians must
be about broke There is very
little possibility of the Indians
being given their freedon so
long as they have property
which others wish to manipulate
for them. An Oriental born
anywhere in this country auto
matically becomes a citizen at
the age of 21 regardless of his
qualifications, but an Indian
born on a reservation is simply
out of luck. The grievous thing
about the whole business is that
millions of people suppose the
millions upon millions of dollars
which the United States govern
ment has app cpriated t ©“edu
cate Indians” has been used to
educate Indian*-.

1HE ALASKAN BROWN BEAR

this almost anyone will agree.

way—is an inoffensive fellow
unless provoked. We find this
view in the comment of the St.
Louis Pot-Dispatch relative to
the increasing of the area of
Xatmai National monument,
which is hailed as most fortu
nate for the preservation of the
Alaskan brown bear.
If there is such an opion in
Alaska, where the bears actual
ly have their habitat, we neve1
have heard of it. On the con
trary, it is freely admitted by
Alaskans that the animal is
held in much, dread, and that
»ts presence is a serious detri
ment to extended settlement.
Though the Alaskan brown bear
is a raging monster when
wounded, as terrible as any
known beast of prey, Alaskans
insist that it is not necessary
4o wound the bear before its
anger is roused. Indeed, they
will supply any number of in
stances, for the authenticity of
which they freely vouch, of
wholly unprovoked and savage
attacks on man. It is added,
with a somewhat rueful smile,
that prudence constrains the
i unarmed individual to climb
the nearest tree, if he finds
himself in the proximity of one
jf them. Should no tree be
convenient, the results are oft
en. exceedingly unfortunate and
final. It is difficult to under
stand by what process of invert
ed reasoning the champions, of
*
he Alaskan brown bear set
aside the opinion to those who
known the animal.
Much is made, in the argu
ment for the good character of
fhe bear, of the fact that he n
primarily a vegetarian—quite
as though this must necessar
ily guarantee his pacifism at all
ordinary times. The Afican buf
flo, we would observe a long
line grass-eaoters, yet this ani
mal is accounted by hunters to
be the most dangerous game in
the dark continent. Diet has
little or nothing to do with it.
The question is one of fact and
ferocity. No creature ever bore
so terrible a reputation as does
the Alaska brc-wn bear without
in sime part, deserving it.
Sentiment, even for conserva
tion, should always be tempered
with sense. There is a place
for such a creature as the Al
askan brown bear, of course—a
place in which it should enjoy
a certain measure of security—
but that place ought to be re
mote from the lands that man
nas occupied or designs to oc
cupy. This seems to be what
the Alaskans contend. It is not
unreasonable.—Oregonian.
