The decision declares that the suit
cannot be maintained by members
Of the tribe IN their individual ca
pacity. Justice Brady, however,
does not rest his decision upon this
point, but holds that these Indians
are pupils Or wards Of the nations;
that the duty Of providing for their
maintenace, civilization and educa.
tion and Of protecting and caring
for them is one which rests upon the
federrl government and is commit
ted to its legislative or political

bunal Of the country are without

as TO whether redress for

states thatif the act Of June {, $1,000,

the remedy for the wrong, if any

Washington, June 20. Asso.
clate Justice Bradley IS expected
to announce his decision this week
in the injunction proceedings in
stitated by Lone Wolf to delay
the opening Of the Kiowa, Com
anehe and Apache reservations
The feeling at the interior depart
ment is That the court will hold
thatit has no jurisdiction, and for
this reason the injunction will not
be granted.
Delegate d. I. Flynn is conf
dent Associate Justice Bradley
will render a decision against the
Indians. If he should do this,
Mr.. Flynn says, the government
could 90 ahead and open the res
eryation, despite the appeal to the
higher court. Mr.. Flynn said.
81 do not apprehend any seri-
Gus delay in the plans Of the gov
ernment to open the Kiowa coun-
try. OF course, everything de-
pends upon the decision Of Justice
Bradley. If he should refuse to
grant the injunction the interior
department will at once proceed
to carry out its plans, the presi-
dents proclamation will be issued
and the opening will follow. The
department is anxious to 90
ahead.
Mr.. Flynn discussed with Sec
retary Hitchcock and Commission.

INTERESTING FACTS AS 10 VOT-
ING QUALIFICATIONS

Mr.. Jefferson did not approve of uni
versaI suffrage. He wanted property
restrictions. His plan was to give 1t
20 a freeholder in town who owned 4
quarter of an acre and to a man in
the country who owned twenty-five
acres. Let it be recalled that in the
Virginia convention that framed the
constitution for that state, the suffrage
restriction offered to the committee in
charge was this. as stated in an in
structive paper by MIR. Gafllard Hunt,
in the Richmond Dispatch, was to the
effect-that hi section relating to
suffrage restricted it to freeholders of
am inheritance of land of at least 91,-
900 in value who were upwards of "A
years of age. This proposition was
probably a reflection of the aristocratic
tendencies of a considerable minority OF
the people. The committee rejected this
proposition" He states that Virginia
never a an educational qualification.
No state had one in the way back.
We learn from Mr.. Hunt that in 1850
Connecticut was the first to adopt one.
The amended constitution read:
Every person shall be liable to e
any article of the constitution, Or any
section of the statutes of this state.
before being admitted an elector. This
was the first educational qualification
ever enacted in America. 1t was fol-
lowed in 1857 by Massachusetts en-
actment of the same clause, with the
. addition that the voter must write
his Name"
As to the removal OF property quail
fcatbon that existed perhaps in all of
the states, we learn that Pennsylvania
led off in 1776, Vermont followed in 1771,
then in Maryland in 1910. and the new
states, as they were formed, generally
followed the example of Kentucky
and had universal suffrage from the
beginning. No state has a a prop
.erty qualification since 1868, when
North Carolina abandoned it, except
Rhode Island, where the alternative OF
a small property holding, or payment of
81 tax. or service in the militia still
prevails.
Up to the present in some states there
is a restriction on those who have not
paid their taxes. Delaware, Massa-
chusetts. Pennsylvania. Tennessee and
Virginia have a provision requiring
of q tax.
