INDIAN BLOQP RUNS* IN NEW MAY
OR'S VEINS.
New Leader of Aberdeen is Part Chei-okee.
Aberdeen, April 8.Several new features
for the municipal government of smaller
cities of the northwest probably will be add
d by Judge J. M. Phillips, who following
^.election Tuesday is making plans for
taking over the leadership of thi city's
affairs. Anxojjgi these will be the employ
ment of a purchasing agent and jthe crea

LESSER INDIAN DEATH RATE
Statistic* Scorn to Show That the Race Iv
Beginning to Build Up Again
^^,*^i^uphysiealjtotoe and the alarming
death rate of the American Indian of today
*rhaps the most serious and urgent of
the many problems that confront him at the
present time
The death rate is stated by government
officials at about thirty per thousand of the
populationdouble the average rate among
white Americans.
These are grave facts and cause deep
anxiety to the intelligent Indian and to the
friends of the race.
Some hold pessimistic views looking to
its early extinction but these are not war
ranted by the outlook, for in spite of the con
ditions named, the last three censuses show a
1 T^ WW"
slight but continuous increase in the total
number of Indians.
Nor is this increase among mixed-bloods
alone the full-blooded Indians are also in
creasing in numbers. This indicates that
the race has reached and passed the lowest
point of its decline, and is beginning slowly
but surely to recuperate.Fort Wayne

When you are in hard luck it is pretty
handy to know where you can go and get
credit for a sack of flour and a bushel of
spuds until a little money comes in. In
order to keep your credit good you must
pay your debts.
There are a few Indians like some white
men, who go around with a hard luck story
trying to work their friends with a story
that they are almost starving, and who as
soon as they get any money, forget about
their debts and go to some other store and
spend money for things which they should
not buy until their debts are paid.
Don't think you are smart enough to
"beat your way" through life. Yon can't

do it. Don't be a cheat. Be an honest
man. If you do right, and do your very best
to keep vour promises, you will always have
friends.' Pay your debts. Nobody else
will do it.
