Mc- Kenna, Dominion Indian commis- sioner, upon being shown the state- ment recently made at Prince Rupert by his lordship Bishop Du Vernet, in favor of an advanced Indian pol- icy, bad the following to say, on the subject: Tt makes me regret even more than I did when north, the circum- stances which debarred mo from the Pleasure of meeting Bishop Du Ver- net. His statement is strikingly in accord with the views I expressed n speaking to the Indians of Fort Simpson. I have met the. Indians of every province and territory of Cam ada, and I- can say unbesitatingly that. at Fort Simpson, I found Can- ada s most advanced native commun- ity. - Chiet Dudward, at whose hos- Pitable home I was entertained, stat- ed clearly to me the abjection of his people to being subjected 'to the re- striction of the Indian Act, which they desoribed as a law intended for Indians living in wigwams. I frank- ly.agreed that they should not be un- der the operation of a law which was originally designed as a sort of swaddling clothes to stay: abori- zines in the period of transition from savagery to civilization. In the case of the people of Fort Simpson and of other progressive Indians of other parts of British Columbia, the swad- dting clothes have been kept on so long as to have become painfully ir- ritating and arrestive to develop- ment. PREMIER'S ACTUAL VIEW. The preuliar condition which grew out ofthe agreement of 1875-76 be- tween the Dominion and the province, in regard to alloting reserves for In- jdiatis under the thirteenth article of the Terms of Union, has stood in the way of a progressibe policy. Un- fortunately many of the Indians have been led to believe that the pri ery soon dit Weatherproof Paint You can readily appreciate the economy of painting exposed parts of your house with paint that protects and preserves the wood for the Iong- est time at the lowest cost.

As a matter of fact the trouble-bresding Indian embroglio eame to him as a heritage from the distant. past. I-feel that in simple justice I should take this opportunity of stating that in ) dealing with the matter as the special representative of the government of Canada, I bave been greatly helped by Sir Richard McBride's comprehensive grasp of this very diffieult question, his sym- pathetic imberest in the welfare of'the Indians, and his anxiety to reach a settlement that would be in the gen- eral public interest as well as theirs. There is a rather general mis- conception as. to Indian rights. If he be reported correctly, the bishop himself is apparently under the im- pression that the Indians are pro- hibited. from pre-empting or purchas- ing tand. The Indian is free to pur- chase crown land or any other land that is for sale in British Columbia or in any other part of Canada. For instance, the Indian boatman, in whose launch I sailed from Methak- atla to Fort Simpson recently, is the owner of lots in Prince .. Rupert, which he purchased at the province's public sale, and he has the privilege not only of holding them, but of paying taxes thereon. The law restricting his pre-empt- rime ing land is the same now as it . has been for very many. years in this province, It is provided in the Land i Act that he may preempt land with the permission of the governor-in- council. tion is to prevent Indians for whom lands were reserved, being used by others. to obtain lands for purposes of speculation. The required: permis- sion has been given in some cases, and Ihave no doubt would be given in any case in which the government was satisfied of the bona fides af the Indian pre-emptor. MAKE THEM REAL CITIZENS. There is also an impression that Indians are exceptionally treated in this province in being deprived of the franchise. Indians who have not teen removed from. the operation of the Indian Act, through its enfran- chisement clasues, have not, as far as I know, the privilege of the franchise in any part of Canada. Many years ago Sir John Macdonald, impressed by the fitness of many advanced In- dians living on reserves, and still The object of that restric- i1 conceded that the only practicable way of admission of the Indian to the electoral franchise is through his being removed, in virtue of his prov- ed advancement from the state of tutelage in which he is placed by the Indian Act. As I stated at Fort Simpson and other places in the provinco where I met representatives of the Indians, I am convinced that Canada s Indian poliey provide for the alloting of re- served lands in severalty. When I said to the Indiahs gathered at Spenee s Bridge that I was convine- ol thet the anffition of the Indians of, British Columbia was not to per- petuate the old tribal system but to become individually fall fiedged Cana- dian citizens, gt; I was warmly ap- planded., A PROGRESSIVE POLICY. There are cases in which lands al- loted in severalty might with safety be conveyed in fee simple without any period of probation and the In- dian given the statas of full citizen- ship. There arc other cases in which it would be necessary to mbke the title inalienable for a period suffi- cient to afford satisfactory evidence that the Indian could with security to his own best interest, be entrusted with a fee simple title. From my investigetion of Indian conditions in British Columbia I am satisfied that with the exception of the very old people who are too set holding in severalty would in short time be very markedly advanced and make such us of their land as would redound to their own-benefit and the profit of the whole community. (With the holding of land in severity, of course, should go same policy of practical instruction in agricultural industry. Such statements as that of Bishop Da Hecnet are helpful . to those charged with the duty of fram- ing and carrying out our Indian pol- icy. - On being asked as to the stage his negotiations with the Provincial Gov- ernment. had reached, Commissioner MeKenna replicd that while he coukt not dis lose what had been done, he mightsay that the ground was being cleared for a progressive Indian pol- icy in British Columbia, WOMEN OUTLIVE WEN BY 20 YEARS French Insurance Statistics Present Interesting Facts on Lotigevity of Sexes.

The greater lofig- evity of women than of men is known by recent French eres, the advantage on femimine side. ing almost one-third. Thus the average age at death of ferhinine annititants on one com- pany s books is 70, while for men it is barely 50. Another company, has several centenarians, all women, on its books.

A distinguished doctor, when asked to. account for women s lotiger lives, paid: Men live much harder and smoke land drink. tog much, even though they rarely work too much. Women are wiser and think of-the future, rarely smoke, and drink one-tenth as much, while. their pre-ocoupations and moral stifferings are much less, intense.

The justice of the peace scratched his head refiectively (reports Harp- er s Weekly). There seems to be some dispute as to the facts in this here case, he sald. The law Im- poses a fine Of 25 for exceedin the speed limit, but I don't want to be arb-trary about it, and if ye'll pay the costs I'll remit the fine. That's Satisfactory to me, said Dawkins, taking out hie wallet. an right. said the justice. There's 5 for the under the Indian Act, to exercise the privileges of voters, provided for their admission to the federal fran- chise. His act was met by a regular avalanche of protest from men who charged that the object of the law was to make voters, who, being the wards of the government, would be amenable to g0Veriiment influences. As a. consequence of the opposition the act was repealed, and it is now Oh, You Revolving Door From Jvage.
