CONGRESSMAN BURKE's SPEECH

The Press has been favored with
copy of the remarks made by
Hon. G. III. Burke July 4th at
Virgin creek, stenographic notes
of which were taken by Mr.. Allen,
of the Agents office. We regret
we have not room to reproduce it
entire.
The portion omitted was in ref
erence to the Indians now drawing
stock cattle, if they prefer it, in
stead of farm implements, as the
treaty originally stated, and other
laws enacted by the last session of
Congress respecting allotments;
also about tribal funds being allot-
ted, so that the Secretary of the
Interior can now assist individual
Indians who are needy, with their
w money.
am very glad to sec the
Indians OF this reservation observe
this day by meeting and cclebrat-
ing as you have. hope that eve
ny year you may meet and cclc-
brate the day and that you will en-
deavor to inform yourselves of
what the day means and what the
event is that we are commemorate
ing. = Our success and our pro-
gress have been due to the spirit
that prevailed among the people of
that date; men who were taught
that if they wanted to succeed they
must be Industrious, they must la
Dor, they could not hope to sue
coed unless they made some effort
in their own behalf.
.'It is this subject that | want to
talk to you Indians about. of a
rule concerning your own welfare.
| am one of those who believe that
there is a great deal that the
Indian a accomplish and that he
has a great future. l believe that
the Indian is just as capable of
making a good citizen and taking
part in the affairs of this govern
ment as any white man. l want
to say to you that no white man
can succeed unless he is industri-
Gus and honest and tries to make
of himself a good citizen. The
same is true of the Indian. The
more l come to study and get ac-
quainted with them the more /
find they are just like white peo-
pie. They like to do things, they
like to have a good time, they like
to have around them property and
other things just as the white peo-
pie do. The trouble has been in
the past that the government has
probably not dealt with the Indian
question in a way that it should
have done. Up to about 25 years
ago the government did not ex-
pend a dollar for the education of
the Indian children. Now the
policy of the government has
changed and in the future, instead
of keeping the Indian, it is going
to be policy Of the government to
help the Indian and try and make
him self-supporting.
ssNow to the vounU Tnd;ans.

REGULAR SESSION
Of Board of County Commissioners,
Potter County.

Gettysburg SD. July LIST 1900
Board met at 5000 a. Nj. as per
adjournment from June llth 1900.
Meeting was called to order by
Chairman, Simon, all members
present. Board proceeded to
examine petitions for liquor
license and bonds for sale of
intoxicating liquors. Bonds of w.
III. Clark and w. {. French we're
approved. 5. M. Howard appear
cd before the board. as attorney
in behalf of petitioners asking for
license to sell Intoxicating liquors
in the towns of Lebanon and
llovcn. After listening to argu-
ment, by said Howard, Board
adjourned till 1880 p. M.
All met rs per adjournment.
After examination of bond
furnished by Harry Reed, to
sell liquors in the city of
Gettysburg, same was approved,
and matter of granting license i'm
the towns of Lebanon and Hovcn
was taken up, and Il general dis
cussion was had, pro and con.
concerning same. Upon request of
County Board the following opin-
ion was obtained from the States
Attorney, in regard TO granting
license in the said towns of
Lebanon and IIoven.
July 1, 1907.
To The Honorable Board of
County Commissioners, Potter
County, So. Dakota:
Gentlcmen:-In compliance
with your request for written
opinion as to your right to license
the sale of Intoxicating liquors in
portions of the County that have
no civil organization, l give the
following:
First, that in my opinion there
is no statute in the State of South
Dakota which authorizes the
County Commissioners of any
County to grant permits to sell
Intoxicating liquors under any
circumstances. The County Com
mlssloners "a only pass upon
the s%ufficiehcy of the bond and its
regularity as to form which is
given by the person who desires
to secure license.
Second, the question of the right
to any person for a license to sell
Intoxicating liquors in inorganic
ed portions of the County, is one
which in my opinion is entirely
covered in this way:
Sec. 1884, revised political code,
provides that an Annual license
must be paid, upon the business
of selling or offering for sale as
splrltuous, vinous, malt, brewcd,
fermented or Intoxicating liquors
at retail, etc, provided that no
retail or wholesale license shall
be issued except in accordance
with the provisions of Sec. 1856.
Sec. 1856, as | construe the law.
now stands as amended i'm 1903.
chap. 1865, session of 1903, and
this provides that before any
license is granted, the question
shall be submitted to n vote of the
people at their annual municipal
election and carried by an affirma-
tive vote. Therefore in territory
that is unorganized, we arc forced
to the conclusion that no liquor
license can be granted, because the
procedure is that laid down in
sec. 1856, of the code. and cannot
be complied with where the alb
sence of civil organization makes
a vote upon the question impossi-
BILE. 1t is my opinion that the law
clearly intended that the liquor
business should be prohibited in
all territories until the people of
the local community express their
willingness for it's sale.
Very truly yours
ID. j. O'Keeffe,
States Attorney

Stone Is Home.

Senator William Joel Stone of
Missouri is home from four
months visit in the Philippine Is.
lands. In st. Louis a few days
ago he is quoted as saying:
There are wonderful resources
there" he said, and the country
needs capital to develop them.
There is not enough money there
to begin to carry on the work of
developing the mining. agricultur.
al aud other resources of the coun-
try. and the people there must look
outside for financial aid. They are a
progressive people aud are striving
toward self-government. Over 90
per cent Of the natives are in favor
OF their own government, but it il
probably little early to let them
try it. Partisanism is strong a,
mOng the people of the islands, and
it is a question whether the minor
ity would yield TO the victory o,
the majority, and abide by the vOtt
as is done in this country. l be
lieve, however. that Congress
should take some action regarding
the Philippines, as there are won
derful resources there which nee,
developing. but which will not b,
developed until capitalists know
whether or not this country will
control the islands"
