MARCH 6. 1920.

THE INDIAN POPULATION. Franklin K. Im former secretary of tho interior department, recently made tho j-urprislnp: tatcinr.nt that there ur moro Indians in tho United State? now than thcro v.rr- in I-lncoIn's time, and Perhaps as many as there were in Washington's ti rn. Th entire Tndian population In 1 1) 1 0 was J6ri.CSr.. What It is today is is matter of conjecture, though it T.ill oon bp revdled by the new census report. Mr. LAnr fcay.s that the Indiana havj born increasing of latr, and takf s mu ch satisfaction therein. It does not sem likely, however, that they hve srown to more than HOO.GOO. Can it he true that there were no more than COO.000 redskin? In this country half a century apo, or fvrn a. century acjo? If so. it does not srem likely that ther were ever any more than that, for purely there was no reason why th natives should have Kreatly diminished in numbers from the time of Columbus to that of Washinsrton. Think of only 300,000 poopie. possc??inp the whole breadth of this bic continent, now occupied, without xcrs.'ive crowding on the. whole, by 1 10. 000,000. And think of only 300,000, or rather more fra.trrnents of 300,000, making as much trouble for nil the "white millions as are indicated by our Indian The Indian has filled a hi? place in American history. And he is not done yet. He occupies a pretty respectable niche in our national life and effort at the rresent time, and seems destined to flay a larger role hereafter. The turn of the population tide, the binnin of numerical increase. In itself Ls a. pood sijrn. It shows that racial vlffor Is reasserting itself, that the Indian !s adapting himself to changed conditions. And it ii.' always to be remembered that the North American Indian has capabilities far higher than those of most so-called "5avacre5., At his best, he has a pood t rain as well as a strong body, and a fine capacity for progress. Today we have Indian -tatesmen and Tndi..n lusiness and professional men of high ability. If tho red race remains intact, it may hereafter conUltute a notable unit of our population.

better by reputation, measures up to every requirement for an -Incient congressman: man of the people, man of sense, learned, keen, with ideals and F-ntlrnent abrest the tlmea. a success In his own ITi.ff sion. an f-xcellcnt Campaigner, student of Hiblic affairs, and not afraid to champion a ause in which hi- hflicves. Mr. Hmith will carry Importe county, should he he nominated: a county that is no less his own than the county of the gentleman almost certain to be the opponent of the democratic nominee, when it comes to the fall election. Carrying Laporte county, the remainder of the district is virtually safe for him. The help that went to Congressman Hlokey In 151 . from other counties than Laporte. was pretty badly phot by St. Joeph county alone. Besides, it is not likr!y that there will be a liberty bond campaign, nor a "flu" epidemic, to hinder the canvass of 1920. and eve n if there- should be tho latter, the democrats will probably see to it that no health oflicer. of boughtcn opposition faith will be permitted to Interfere with their holding- even committee meetings without imposing siml'ar interfernee upon the republicans. Democracy under Mr. Smith's leadership in the inth district, will become a militant democracy, principled to the bone, standing for something and fighting for it; not a negativ, super-cautious, timid, unresentful democracy interested only in the cilices, and a single channel of selfishness through which to work up to then.. He is one of those democrats who is not ashamed of the Wilson administration, nor will he be. if we read him aright, afraid to defend it. lie will be for America first, last, and always, but being thus for America, not to selflsh about it. or reclusive and un-American, as to wan,t America to neglect her obligations to the rest of the world. V nccordlnc-ly rerard Mr. Smith as coming into the race opportunely; not as an opportunist so much, however, as in response to a need. It evidences a little of the injection of. new blood into the democratic activities of the district; a beginning of new faces in the democratic linu'ight Mr. Fmith. of course, is not unknown either personally or politically, about home, but this is a reaching out over the district. We would congratulate th" democratic party upon his announcement. Nothing could Kive us proatcr pleasure than to po alon0 with him clear ur to tho ballot box In Xovcmbcr and then, on to "Wahlnpton.

RALPH SMITH FOR CONGRESS. Entrance of Ralph N. Smith of Laporte in tho primary race as a candidate for the democratic liominatlon for congressman from tho 13th district, will answer the hopes of most forward-looking democrats, current since the enforced retirement of Congressman Harnhart through the election of Congressman Illckey, two years ago. Mr. Smith. a we- know him. romewhat personally, and

A SWEETER WORLD. When prohibition first loomed dark on the horizon the doctors told the alcoholics to take to candj. They have done so, if the figures are to be believed. Hugar eating has grown rapidly since the saloons went out of business, and sonic of the largest brewing concerns in the country are now flourishing candy factories, while the brewers board of trade has offers from would-be-purchasers of still more, brewing properties to be transformed Into ice-cream and chocolate works. It is a sad outlook for the opponents of prohibition who r. rophesiod a inancial panic as the result of closing out the liquor interests. Old J. barleycorn Is finding out just what many another citizen found out before him the world goes on just the same, no matter who drops out. Of course the nation may be Koing diabetic as the result of all this gugar consumption, but 5t went a lot of other things a.s the result of the liquor traffic, and up to date not a man has been haled into police court for beating his wife after over-indulgence in chocolate creams. The world is growing sweeter, after all.

A British critic says we're "drunk with prosperity." What of it? Surely he can't expect us to cut out everything.

Xo matter how tight-fisted the average man may be with money, he Is willing to share his opinions.

Everybody keeps right on talking as if times were bad and spending as if times were good.

What this country is paying, more than anything else, is the high price of politics.

The Tower of Babel

By BILL ARMSTRONG

DOHIS. Though etymologists do not di

rectly connect Doris with Dorothy, and some believe that she is merely a modern version of a feminine fancy lor a name a trifle out of the ordinary, it is impossible to believe that her source was not identical with Dorothea and that strange but correct reversal Theodora. Such being the case, Doris comes from one of the early Christian Greek names notabhy Thekla. St. Thekla was said to have been a disciple of St. Paul and have been exposed to lions at Antioch. Instead of tearing her to pieces, they crouched at her feet. .but nevertheless she was considered the first virgin innrtyr, and no higher praise j3 posiblo for a woman than to compare her to it. Thekla. From Thekla came the French Teola and then, through the eastern church, Theodora signifying "divine gift," and, much later, the incorrect Dorothea. There have leen two St. Theodoras, one a virgin martyr and the other a (Ireek empress. Massinger composed a drama dealing with the story of St. Dorothea, the Cappadocian maiden who sent the roses of paradise by angelic hands as testimony of the joys of haven. It is needless to go into the growth of Dorothea, followed by Dorothy, Dolly, Dora, and Dorinda, but unfortunately history does not record what first enterpri&inr moth t r named her baby Doris, though the name Is almost as popular as Dorothy in England and America. Even Germany use3 u. France alone finds it too harsh for her tongue and prefers the softer Dorette and Doralice. The talismanic stone assigned to Doris is the agate, which gives her courage, guards her from danger and is also t-aid to be a cure for insanity if worn as a pendant around the throat. Friday is Doris' lucky day and her lucky number. Tame snakes are used in Morocco to clear houses of rats and mice. The idght of a snake seems to terrify tii a ro dein by.

Tin; ouTcoMF of tiii: i.vcomf TAX. (Date line omitted on account of paper shortage.) -Mr. Mort Heed. Accountant, South Bend, Ind. Dear Mort: Although I didn't understand any of it, I take this opportunity of informing you how much I enjoyed your talk about tho incume tax before the Klwanis club the other day. I am always interested in discussions about money, even if the money doe happen to be in the

other fellow's pocket, congratulate you for this here income tax

I think if some other do like you do, and go

and I want to your stand on thing.

men would before tho

clubs and lodges talking for this income tax, that such a law would be passed within a short time. I want to encourage you in your worthy purpose, and wish to Eay further that you can absolutely depend upon my backing in thls'matter. as I gleaned from your explanation that it will bo a long time before any Income tax law strikes your Uncle Dudley, or in other words, the writer.

I believe I understood you to say that the government feels a married man is sufficiently handicapped, and lets him coin money up to 000 per annum without his being shook down, and that any donations made by the individual can also be deducted from the sum total, also business club dues, advertising, expense of riding back and forth to work on the street cars if going on the cars gets you to work any quicker, and several other items. if the street cars have to get you to work earlier to make the ear faro money count in your income tax exemption I think in South Uend you would nearly always get to work so late you would be owing yourself money. Anyway, if you rode the South Bend cars all the tim to save money on your income tax. you wouldn't save none in the long run because of the doctor bills you would run up, having your frost bites treated.

run the houe. and instead of fiyinfz up and getting pore as usual. you made a donation would that count as an exemption? Also if you got mixed up in a poker rame and stayed on a pair of eights just because you felt sorrow for the other fellow, and bet your head off ould that pass as a donation? They're a number of other little angles we do not understand about the income tax; and we hive often thought a bootlegger must b sort of puzzled at times when he comes to draw up his blank. That was one thing nice about the army: nobody never had to worry about ar.y Income tr.x. If they had ever mentioned Income tax .n the army we were In; one blanx would have been more than enough to have alibied away the incomes of the whole 3.000.000 or so.

You are allowed the expense of running an automobile in your business in your tax return, so I wonder if a typewriter owner would hav3 the same privilege. The upkeep on my Corona has got to be something fierce. I have been Asking myself too if you could claim exemption on tho expense of a business trip to Havana. This certainly must bo permitted, or Fred Ropp. the furniture man, wouldn't have made his recent trip. Mr. Rose reported on his return that the Japalac and Liquid Veneer crops this year around Havana will prove the greatest in historyHe said that the young plants are just beginning to bloom, and that the harvest will be on full tilt in several months or Just as soon as the U. S. closes up the New Jersey and Rhode Island breweries again. Mort. if you have never paw a youmj Japalac or Liquid Veneer plant in bloom, you've missed something, Mr. Rose tells me.

In that j-our

regards to the donation angle you mentioned I wonder if wife csked you for money to

Again I want to thank you Mr. Reed for your nice talk, although I think a discussion rf the bee culture in IJavaria would have been Just as vital and important to me personally, as a talk on incomes. Respectfully yours. (Name omitted on account of paper shortage. Name can to asccrained. however, by glancing toward top of column.)
