Free HOmesteads on Indian
Reservations.

Last March the lower house OF
congress passed a bill which per"
united homestead settlers upon
coded Indian lands in Oklahoma to
secure CLAIMS upon payment OF only
the land Office fees, without the
1925 or $3.50 per acre which was
to be charged under the previous
law. The bill was sent to the
senate and on March II 1t was re-
ferred to the committee on pubic
lands. Senator Pet!igrew has Sc
cured from that committee an
amendment making the act appll-
cable to all coded Indian lands, and
there Is scarcely any question that
1t VIII pass both houses as thus
amended. This means a saving OF
at least 81, 100000 TO settlers IN
South Dakota upon such lands-a
I'M which will be OF Tremendous
benefit to the commonwealth.
Following is the text of the bill as
il reads after the amendment Sc
cared from the public lands cons
mittee Ivy Senator P%ettigrew:
BE II enacted by the senate and
house Of representatives OF the
United State, OF America IN con-
gress assembled, that all settlers
under the homestead laws OF the
United States upon the pubic
lands acquired by treaty or agrees
meut from the varlo0s Indian
tribes, who have or who shall here
alter reside upon the tract entered
IN good faith for the period re-
CURED bv existing law, shall be
entitled TO a patent Tor the land SO
entered, upon the payment to the
local land officers of the usual and
customary fees, and no other or
further charge of any kind what
soever shall be required of such
settler to entitle HIM TO a patent
for the land covered by such eutry.
provided that the right to commute
any such entry and pay for SAID
lands, IN the option of any such
settler and III the time and at the
prices now fixed by existing laws,
shall remain IN full force and effect:
provided, that the pubic land laws
Of the United States are hereby
suspended, until iurther legislation
by congress-, in so far as they may
affect the territory hitherto known
as Green county, Texas"
Senator Pettlgrcw has also Sc
cured a favorable report on the
bill to settle the status of mixed.
blood Indians, and TO allow them
to sell tkeir allotments of lands
and providing also that allotted
lands shall be subject to taxation.
Both these measures are of great
and important benefit to South
Dakota-one Of them saving 50,
900 O0O to the home-makers of the
state, and the other putting tens OF
thousands of dollars mt the public
treasures. --Snur EdNs Pros.

body, on account of the nature of it's
office, has not been able to bring about
the desired result, criticism has lately
materialized in the organ ization of n
Parkhurst society, and others, banded
into a League for Better City Govern
ment, have broadened their censorship
to include the general body of city otfi-
Gals as being responsible for the con-
tinued existence of the slums. These
criticisms, though more or less Just, and
certainly commendable in spirit, show a
failure on the part of those who have ex-
pressed them to grasp the true nature
and breadth Of this great subject
We are called upon to destroy the
root" as well as the branch" of this
vile tree. Our chief of police has we'll
shown that his function is to deal with
the branch when, in his late annual re-
port, he call for better equipments and
modern appliances" for the more effectu-
al wedding out" of "our undesirable res
idents." Again, a speaker for the Bet
ter City Government league has indi-
rectly expressed the popular idea of
government when he says the common
enemy among the city officials is .in-
competency, venality and vice" 1t is no
more than saying that through these
three Weaknesses there is failure Of
legislation against crime. In other
words, legslate the "branches" out Of
existence. The fact is, none of those
who are critics or the bodies criticised.
nor yet the citizens themselves have got
at the root" of the matter. True gov
ernment not only suppreSses vice by
legislation against 1t, but by educating
it's subjects out of an evil tendency The
city which neglects to educate its lower
classes permits them to perpetuate. The
slums are slums because they are slum-
educated. No angel institution of in.
telligence and virtue penetrates the
darkness of that abode to force a com
parison of what they are with what
they might be. Many and many a city.
and Los Angeles is no exception, has its
hands full in undoing what, by legisla-
ton, 1t so foolishly does. Help the slums?
Nay 1t perpetuates them.
For instance, if city legislates to Ii
cense the sale of rum. it must needs
spend large share of its time and en-
ergy to govern the saloon and its pro-
duct, and Slumtown is not only neglect
ed, but its borders are enlarged. viii
men never learn that Master has given
us the rule to overcome evil with

force, league nor city government can
ever purge the darker precincts till 1t
learns the lesson of Christianity. that
evil Is overcome only by a positive good
Breaking temperance pledges or buying
women to unaccustomed iniquity is do
ing evil that good may come" The
bringing to justice (so-called) of the pit
liable offspring of heredity and environ
ment is of necessity and in very nature
harsh and unchristian-at best. a nee
essary evil-and the negative laws, the
thou-shalt-not of city ordinance. speak
more or the decalogue of Moses than Of
the positive "thou-shalt" of Jesus. Let
the citizens of this Christian country

knowledge of Christ the Subject of
Father Adams Discourse.

There hath stood one in the midst of
you, whom you know not" st. John.
1925, was the text of Father Adams SER
mon at the cathedral yesterday morn
ing.
First-What noble embassy, that of
the Jews to John: Priest and Levites,
who art thou? BY the answer we know
the force Of this question; he confessed,
Il am not the Christ; further he denies
that he was Elias or the prophet He
said, no, Il am the voice of one crying
IN the wilderness, make straight the way
Of the Lord
He took hold of this favorable occa-
sion. to lett them know in covered way
that the Messiah was amongst them
This teaches us that even in revealing
truth we have to wait for the appointed
time, as st. John soon after showed
Christ to the multitude.
The mystery of the incarnation is such
that God does not reveal it at once but
by degrees prepares the people for it.
Notice even in Christ an economy in the
revealing of his truth. He speaks first
of the kingdom of heaven, showing what
premiums are prepared for those who
will practice works of mercy, works mir
acles to prove his mission, but 1t is not
till towards the end of his public life
that he openly declares, Il and the
Father are one" He revealed the mys-
terry of his incarnation (his divinity not
at once but by degrees.
The Catholic church, animated by the
spirit of Christ and following the ad-
vice of st. Paul, that said not to know
more than is necessary to know, had
certain truth, and mysteries that con-
cealed them from the profane and even
from catechumen. which were revealed
only to the initiated, those who had been
well instructed and We're admitted to
receive the sacrament of the Eucharist.
The church alone that exists from
Apostolic times has retained the true
knowledge of Jesus Christ
For our spiritual advantage let us
learn from today's gospel to know how
we can arrive to have a true knowledge
by being humble as John the Baptist,
and then to acquire our knowledge by
degrees, to put first solid foundation,
the primary truths, original sin and the
necessity of Redeemer.

sons from God. THE Son can do moth
ing himself, but what he seeth the Faith
er do" He saw God walking in the uni
verse and he learned how to use laws
that are strange to us on account of our
lack of spiritual training. The common
performances of angels seem miracles
to US. Through his spiritual nature.
Christ received divine power from God
to perform miracles. His miracles are
prophecies of our possibilities. 1t is to
be remarked that Christ never used his
power in the formation of his wonderful
character. In that work, he assumed 10
advantages over his brothers and sis
ters. He formed his character as we
have to form our characters, and he be-
comes to us an inspiring example. When
Peter began to fear, he began to sink.
AS long as he had faith he could walk
upon the waters. 1t seems that the uni
verse scorns coward. The water would
not bear Peter up, when he ceased to
trust it. A man that will not trust the
laws of nature cannot be farmer. The
foundation of business, finance, govern
ment, education, enterprise, is faith.
Jesus was continually saying to his dis
ciples Fear not" and Have faith"
He did not heal patients in an atmos-
phere of unbelief. Faith is just as nee
essary to business. commerce, engineer
ing, architecture, as it is to religion. The
secular world would quickly perish
without mutual faith. Christ after his
labors retired to the lonely mountain
in the darkness to commune with his
Father. From that communion he went
forth to walk upon the waters the mas
ter of the laws of nature and the fearless
representative of the omniscient Great
or. When Peter began to sink on ac-
count of his fear, he cried out to Christ
for aid and the divine Master stretched
out his hand to save him. In all our dis
tress it Is good for us to ask Christ to
help us. When all other plans fail, We
may learn the path to success by study
ing his gospel This we are not willing
to do. In America, many difficulties and
troubles and miseries could be banished
forever in social political and CONNER
cial affairs if we would only let Christ
teach US our duties and how to perform
them. Nobody denies that we are sink
ing in political and social waters. Why
should not the country appeal to Christ
to save it? The conventional Christ of
the conventional churches has been tried
long enough, and he has failed to save
us. Why not try the Christ of the gos-
pels? If we would study the sermon on
the mount, instead of reading all the
rubbish that has been written on social
and political matters, We would soon be
able to see that Christ has the words of
eternal life, and that his spirit can solve
our artificial difficulties. But we are
told that it is impracticable to keep
Christ's sayings. In other words, 1t is
not practicable to be honest; pure, loyal,
honorable and kind, according to the
decision Of our modern civilization. So
selfishness, sin, crime and misery are the
only practicable things; but Christ
teaches that the happiness of virtue is
possible to all souls in this world.

Speaking on Purging the Slums, from
the text, Romans xiii, 21: "Overcome
evil with good" Rev. A. A. Rice, the pas
tor, said, in part:
The slums are reality. Like fibrous
tumors in a physical body, they reach
out from their dark centers and lay hold
of the healthy life that surrounds them.
They shall be purged The virtuous
force in the better part of humanity de-
crees that these breeding places of vice
and crime shall cease to exist
Today the public mind is striving to
decide as to the way this shall be accom-
pished, while our text, with depth Of
meaning, has ready answer: Overcome
evil with good

release from evil first of all to that body
which directly deals with iniquity, the
police force. In our city, because this

Charley Frink and his estimable vito
will soon leave for the upper Hills.
Miss Alta Williams, of Hot Springs,
is stopping with Mrs. Frawley, and will
attend ourtownship normal this winter.
Some vandal entered Brit Frink's
house last Friday during his absence
and appropriated his gun, ammunition
and shells and has forgot to return the
same. Thare are u few people that
think they are privileged characters,
but they may come to grief some of
these days.
Some people can see faults only in
others, but other people see faults in
the "some people" SO that evens it up.
The men that signed that rot" and
posted it up in the posi- oiice the night
before election, will find that it will
take some time to get the stencil off
their fingers that naturally sticks to
men that stooptothat kind of business.
McKinley's prosperity has struck
even Odell. Victor Sauers and family
have moved to 'Odell permanently.
Vic will look after his monument ill.,
dustry, anticipating a good business in
that line, as the political graveyard will
need several monuments within the
next two years.
Tom Frawley is also another new
conner, having moved his family onto
the Bussow ranch the first of the week.
Tom will be our next mayor and he
does not propose to give the enemies
of prosperity a chance to "challenge'
his place of residence.
James III. Clarke, one of the county's
prominent cattle men, moved his family
here some weeks ago, and made his
residence permanent by casting his
first vote in Odell precinct on Nov. 3rd
for Mckinley and protection.
Frank Evans has moved to tie falls
and taken charged of the Evans irrigated
ranch at that place. Frank intends to
go into thepoultry business extensively
and being a live and energetic young
man, will make this and his market
gardening venture a success. Frank
we welcome you to the township.
Hans Bussow has sold out nearly all
of his earthly possessions in this coun.
ty and moved his family to Lead City
where he will make his home for the
future. Hans was one of Fall River
county's best citizens, a peer among
his fellow men and in business or so
cially, his place will be hard to fill
