Mr. Suyder says that in 19 1" t . annua! appropriations for the Indian Bureau amounted' to $!M7o.00. which is quite a sizeable sum for lodiaus. taking thetn mine run, but Mr. Sells, the ei nimisi-loner, seems to have caught step with the extravagance of the ge and althouph there are not now tu; many Indians in the I'nited States as in 1 I n . he spent $ 1 5,4 R2.00U on his department lu in If and is asking $ 1 7.4 ho.imki lot the present year. Mr. Snyder says that Sells has wasted $40,000,000 on tudlans in the Indian Bureau, Apparently the only way the taxpayers can catch up even with that kind of extravapance is to turn Indian and cet some of the money but maybe the rejrulni Indians are not even getting the money who knows'.'

A EIGGEE AND STRONGER RACE. Every now and then some meuical man arises to bewail the alarminjr degeneracy of tho human race. Frequently Ms conclusion is drawn from the results of a physical exaroinaiion of school children. A large percentage are found to be defective in this or thai particular. None ia absolutely normal. Or he points to modern unhygenie habits of over rating and uuder-exercisinB. He says that trolley car? and automobiles have done away with walking. In ' ihe good old days'" most boys had chore3 to do about th hem calling their muscles into play. Also fewer girls wr engaged in office work and other sedentary ocr upatlons. The pessimist point? to the vigorous open ain: life of the pioneer of the plains, the great-grandfather of the present generation, and says it is no wonder if w ha degenerated physicaly if not mentally. We have always felt that there is something wrong with his theories and now -we know want it is: They aren't true. Dr. Dudley Sargent, o? Harvard, has as gocd claim as anyone to rank as an authority on the subject, for he has been a professor of physical training for nearly 50 years, and he says American girls have gained n inch in height and 10 pounds in weisht since 1S9,"., when he compiled borne statistics for scientific purnoses. The average gain of young men students at American colleges ia that period has been two inches in heig-ht and nin ponnds in weight. We prefer to aopt this cheerful statement. Regardless o th high standing of its author and the proof he present?., it is more logical than the others. In the last quaiier of a centnry there has been a greater popular participation In athletic sports of all kinds thaa -vr before, especially by girls and women. In tJb same time medical science has made wonderful progress in th conquest of diseases that sapped vitality. Tb "experts'"' wh allege any general deterioration in the human physJque are arguing from limited knowledge. Nor need we depend upon statistics fcr their refutation.. All we haxe to do is to look around.
PAPER CONSERVATION. i The publishers of the country nre loyally doing, their bit to relieve the shortage in print paper. In i 'December they ued S.r6.r. tons less than iu NoTember. j Production in ihe same period Increased 2l,7!fj ions ! It Is an example of uultej effort that alone can save many of the smaJler newspapers from disaster. , THE BOOZE JOKE. ' What." askes a reader, "has become of the lean ; year joke?" ; We don't know. We hae searched the funny1 columns up and down, but a!! in vain. The hap year, joke appears to have been drowued in a deiuse of booze humor. Its so easy, to make n Im :of joke All you have to do is draw a picture of a hundred thirst citizens raiding a physician's office, or write a joke of this variety) ! "They say he married an heiress." "Yes, they say she has a barrel."" "What! A barrel of money." "No. whiskey." At which all the rum hounds howl for joy. nni the brewery ring puts you ou the payroll of propaganda manufacturers. And yet there are no-called funnv paper? that actually pay good money for brilliant effusions of this sort. The leap year joke was pretty bad. but it was a gem of wit befide these modern Omatisuis For goodness sake, lefs get back to our obi friend?. HER VOX (".WINNER'S warning that if Herman credit drops it will drasr other countries down sounds very much like the hobo who insists the world owes him a living.

But the Indian nowadays must lead a hppy life if he is getting In service what the United States verament is paying for service that poor Lo ia presumed to be gretting. Homer Snyder, chairman of the House Committee n Indian Affairs, charges that the Indian Bureau under Commissioner Cato Sells, gew has on its payroll 6,000 employee, a number perilously near the fullblood iDdian population of the country. Now these 6,000 employes do not act, as valets and chambermaids to the Indians, as you might suspect not at all. They merely hold down nice desk jobs an traveling commissioners for the most part, and they keep ""all wised up" about Lo and his comings and goings'and doings generally and they spend millions of dollars annually is keeping the Indian cheered up and happy and them-
