' Down in, Lincoln Omaha's water "works experience is being held up as a horrible -examplo against compul sory purchase of public service utlli j lies suggested for their new , home rule charter. That's' a little like 'rubbing 4t on us, for Omaha would not knowingly be buncoed twice by the eame confidence sharps, Freeing the Indians. Secretary of the Interior Lane Is nuotod as saying, "I he greatest sorvlce we can do for the Indian is to free him." Ho favors such reor ganization of the Indian sorvlce as would do away gradually with tho Indian bureau, contending that "tens of thousands of so-called Indians are todny competent to man ago their own affairs," and that thousands of half-bloods, now wards of tho gov ernment, should bo admitted to full control of tholr property to shift for tbomsolvefl. Tho mature full-blood Indian without education or capabil ity for carrying on bis own business roust, romain a government ward, hut tho secretary insists, as anyqnev appreciating tho situation should, that tho children of theso Indians in tho next$oneratlo'h bo a part of the American people, boar their own burdens 'and meet their own respon sibilities. On tho wholo; tho federal govern ment has dono very well by tho In dian, and if it hasoen a little slow to graduate him from wardship into full control of his own affairs, it is only bocause of its benovolent pa ternalism and no disposition to re tard tho redman's progress.' 8o far as freedom is concerned, tho Indian probably Is enjdylng, with llttlo ex ception, moro than ho has over had, and as fast as possible this mcasuro of freedom will' bo enlarged'. In tho meantlmo, as long as it seems neces sary to contlnuo tho samo Indians in the dopondent relation, Undo Sam,' as concroto facts' show, is giv ing them cxcollent foundation for the future. It would, of courso, bo n slight tributo to what tho govern ment ocokB to accomplish as well as to tho Indian's own worth, if In the next generation the childro'n of tho dependent fullbloods did not take thp placo of Bolf-aupport assigned to them. .

If any whlto mombor of tho bar association gavo uttoranco to such a pronouncement, ho would probably bo forthwith expelled, but under the circumstances, and with no desire to Btlr up further trouble, it is reason nolo to expect tho bar pooplo to. lot well enough alone, and call It a closed Incident as far as they aro concerned, Plainly, drawing tho color lino here dobB not prosont tho kind of a case tho lawyers .would like to argue boforo tho bar of public opinion, lower the Rates.
