COMPETENT OMAHA INDIANS
Bureau at Washington Much Con
cerned with Their Affairs.
BETTER SAT COMING FOE THEM
H. P. Marble, Who Wu a Member of
the fonaluloa of Inquiry,
Give Ilia Views on the
Situation.-
"Conditions point to an early solution of
Ihe problem confronting the Indian office
on the Omaha reservation," said 41. P:
Marble of Humboldt, Neb., one of the
members of the competency commission,
uhlch has been laboring; for a few months
to determine the qualifications of the
Omahas to recelva and care for their lands
o lone held In trust by the government.
- "Despite the agitation over the wrongs
f this tribe In the public, prints at various
public gatherings," the members of the
competency commission. Mr. McConlhs,
Mr. Pollock and myself, have been reluc
tant to take any share tn the controversy,
preferring to proceed in the discharge of
the duty Imposed upon us, and finding out
the real situation, aid the Indian office In
bringing about a solution of the difficulties,
satisfactory and safe for the Indians. It
must be known, to understand the condi
tions thoroughly, that the Omaha Indians
re a progressive people, very many of
them speaking good English,, having liberal
education and being In every way capoble
of looking after their own Interests. On
the other hand there are many who,
through old age, physical and mental dis
ability, are wholly unable to protect their
Interest a and to turn their property over
to them would make them a prey to the
Unscrupulous speculator (and the probings
pt the commission has brought proof that
ha la ever present on the Omaha reserva
tion) and would be tittle short of a crime
to rem ore their i UtoUona.
"it became neaessary therefore, la the
task of giving more liberties to the com
petent Indian were not Jeopardised. We
have found the Indian office, both Mr.
Valentine, Mr. Abbott 'and their subordi
nates, deeply Interested in granting all pos
sible release from restrictions to the
Omahas and can only feel that if those In
terested In the recent agitation had been
a little more patient with those who were
disinterestedly attempting to solve a big
human problem the solution might have
been hurried rather than delayed.
"In spite of what may be termed the 'hot
house' method of fostering during the last
score of years the Indians have developed
wonderfully and yet the system has not
been calculated to bring about the high
est possible dtvelopement of the race and
none realise this fact more Keenly man
does Mr. Abbott, and no one individual is
striving more earnestly to break up that
part of the old restrictive system which
has so long been a burden not only to the
patient Indian, but to the local superin
tendent and his employes, who too often
received - the blame for vexatious delays
for which they were in no wise responsi
ble.
'It Is agreed by every one conversant
with ths "facts that the Indians have much
cause for complaint, but at the same time
they have much in their present advanced
state for which to thank the government,
and it Is believed that the Intelligence and
broad-mindedness of the delegation of
Omahas now In Washington will bring
them to a realisation of the fact that all
three forces the Department of the In
terior, the Indian office and the Com
petency commission are working to ex
actly the ' same end a they themselves,
vis: the making of progressive and self
supporting cltlsena out of the Omaha In
dians. "Ia this connection It la a well-founded
fact that without responsibility there Is
little growth In any Una and in no case
Is It exemplified more fully than tn the
present Indian problem. '
"I speak with knowledge of the situation
when I say that If the present plans of
Mr. Valentine and Mr. Abbott, are carried
Out, especially those relating to the promo-
tlon of agriculture and everything points
to that . consummation a much brighter
day Is dawning for the Omaha Indian, for
simpler and less restrictive methods are to
be Inaugurated which will aid and not
hamper hlra in bis progress towards clt
Ixenshlp. "I have grown to know and esteem
these Indians highly and feel that one
great cause for congratulation Is the fact
that those in authority' are rapidly coming
to treat the red man more as a normal
human being. The Competency oommUi&n
Is recommending the release of a large por
tion of the lands held in trust and before
their labor Is completed, In thirty to sixty
days, without question more names will
be added to the list of competents. The
prmmlnalon exuects that It will bo crit
icised for releasing some and for not re
leasing others, but the work has been per
formed carefully and conscientiously, look
ing only to the best Interests of the In
dians, rather than according to the wish of
those who selfishly desired to . profit
through a wholesale release of restric
tions on the reservation. A system , of
frank and open co-operation Is growing
up between the white cltlxeris, the . In
dians and the department, which cannot
help but result in ultimate good to the In
dians. Superintendent Kneale who Is now
In charge of the Omahas is a man of ex
reDtlonal ability and courage and good
Judgment, and la Just the type of man
needed to Drotect the Indians from the
avarice of any white roan who may grow
over ambitious in his seal to gain posses
sion of the Indians' land or money. Indeed,
vervthln points to a period of rapid de
velopment of the Omaha Indians into self-
supporting and independent cuizensnip cur
ing the coming years."

GUADALAJARA. Mex., Feb. M.-To the
Editor of The Beo: Every high school girl
knowa'that "Across the Alps lies Italy,"
but how many educated, well-informed
Americans know what lies beyond the Rio
Qranda river In Mexico. I have now been
a month In this wonderland Old Mexico
and every minute of those thirty days has
been filled with delight. Our eyes have
feasted on a riot of color In sky In the
tinted colors on old cathedral wajls. Every
morning tumultuous ringing of church bells
din in our ears-not ringing slow funereal
sedate or in Sunday chime as with us,
but each individual bell ringing like our
old time fire bell, all at the same time.
Little tenor bells that can be heard only
In a quiet interval ponderous booming
bat's bells brouxht from old Spain before
our Pilgrim fathers took ship on the May
flower. The little bells swinging In ex
uberant excitement clear around the war
den beams to which they are strapped
with bands of lion or with leather thongs.
The great bells dlbdslnnlg to move are
struck with huge iron hammers on the out
side rim or with iionderous clapper from
within. Such a deafening hurly-burly of
bell ringing never wakened a sleepy tourist
at I a. m. in any country but Mexico.
Flowers, Frolts and Food.
The scent of Jasamlne, of orange and
lemon blossom and of roses, and the ne
almost overpowering odors of gorgeous
tropical flowers fill Lbe aunladaa air you
breathe. The strange new fruit, sweet and
luscious that tickle our palates and the
peppery dishes that surprise our conven
tional beef-eating Axiglo-Saxon stomachs.
All these pleasant, new' surprises to our
senses make the physical man happy. But
rich as are these sensational, they sink
Into Insignificance when compared .with the
appeal this old land makes to our imagin
ation, and to our sympathies. No town or
hamlet, but has Its' legend' of old Axetee
days or castle or church of 'Cortes, the
conqueror.
Such takes of cruelty, such magnificent
dreams of conquest and through all, the
dominant greed for gold through war and
pillage, and torture, until today the smelter
and the mine carry on war against nature
Instead and the kindly, simple-minded de
vout Peon at last finds refuge in happy
care free existence with all his creature
comforts within easy acquirement.
Orlet nt Oar Gates.
This Is Egypt over again. - The orient
at our gates, and nothing charms the west
ern mind as does the mystery that lies be
hind this old civilization. It Is as If we
saw our ancesteors come to life again after
1,000 years. We can see here what was
meant by the command, "Take up thy bed
rfiid walk," when we see the native unroll
himself out of his serape the garment of
one piece that Is at the same
time his protection against the
weather and his bed by night We know
that to go up on tho housetop to pray-
here as in Palentlne, is to do the conven
tional the flat roof of the house Is In
tended to live upon as well as to shelter
the one-story rooms below. The sandals
on their feet, the bottles made of wtiole
pig or sheep skins to carry water or
"pulque," the native beverage are the
same we hear about In the "lesson for the
day" in our churches at home. This Is
the simple life and a more contented care
free, devout people I have never seen.
Side by side with this Oriental life, un
hampered with even the rudiments of
sanitary science are evldenoe of the latest
word In sclentlfio mining and electrical
apparatus, magnificent state and municipal
buildings, enlightened provUiiA In the
i v
way of state theaters, beautiful public
parks, fountains and statuary and "mlr
ablle" dJctu," we have a new Paris In the
City of Mexico, with fine, wide asphalt
streets that challenge any ctty In the
world; most beautiful public building's of
tho latest French architecture costing from
12.000,000 to $12,000,000 each; model eleotrlo
street car lines and cleaner streets than
can be found elsewhere on this continent.
A vigilant police administration that makes
us ashamed of ' our great metropolitan
cities In comparison.
Cause for Wonder.
The beauty of this city, the charm of Its
street life, the lovely villas In the sub
urbs Is the delight and wonder of all for
eigners, and to think that all this wonder
land lies less than a week's comfortable
travel from Omaha fills me with astonish
ment that we have all been so slow to reap
the harvest of enjoyment that awaits the
tourist who comes here any mouth of the
year. ,
Judged 'by the results. President Dlas Is
Justified In his autocratic rule and I have
found no criticism among either foreign
residents or natives. Of course, all talk
of a republican form of government, as we
know It, Is ridiculous. They have elections
where nobody votes. For Instance, the
new governor of one of the Mexican states
receives his certificate of election on Feb
ruary 1 last for an election that does not
take place until April 1 next. Foreigners
claim, however, that life and property are
as safe with us. I regret to find that our
fellow oountrymen down here rank lowest
among foreigners. So many of our people
left the states not only for their own good,
but for the good of the "states uniteaa" as
well. Happily this Is fast changing, as
Americans with capital are rushing Into
Mexico, buying lands at the rate of 3,000.000
acres per month and send ng down a stream
of gold to buy mining properties and rail
road and street railway stocks. The Eng
lish and Americans own the railroads and
street car lines of Mexico and the mine.
The Germans control the hardware trade,
the French have the dry goods business,
and the Spaniards and Mexicans have the
3
grocery trade and own and operate most of
the cotton factories. a

Knock for Surety Companies.
All surety companies which annually havo
reaped lucrative profits from the bond busi
ness done In the federal courts will ha
barred from the court of Judge Kenenaw
M. Land Is in Chlcag-o.
Judge Landls announced that he never
again would approve a bond signed by a
surety company, and that hereafter de
fendants In criminal cases, receivers, an.l
others who wish to give bond will have to
get their friends to act In the capacity of
bondnmen In order to obtain the approval
of the court.
The reason given by Judge Landls for hi
ruling In the surety bond busing Is thai
the companies recently formed a trust
agreement to raise the price of all bond a,
and that this action is In reality a "holdup.'
In some Instances, ho declared, the com
panies have Increased their prices us much
as 900 per cent
"I can merely state," said he, "that In
the future I will , refuse to approve an
bond signed by a surety company. It has
become so that the bond proposition hus
been reduced to a cold and calculating
business, and all personal responsible m
eliminated. Ins companies have ruUwV
their prices also, and I do not Intend to
stand for It."
The Judge said that he had been con
sidering the matter for some time, ar.l
after Investigating the proposition thor
oughly had arrived at the conclusion lhat
the surety companies were charting ex
tortionate rates, and that his court, In Jus
tice to dofendants and others, could not ap
prove such a business. Chicago Tribune. '
