Not So Bad for Poor L.o


Forty-one sections of the choicest
land in the Rosebud drawing, it
seems, must be reserved for the In
dams. Upon that those who draw
quarter sections may not trench.
They are to get their land after Poor
Lo has been supplied. Not so bad for
Poor 10. Not near as bad as some
who have recently subscribed to the
demand for freeing" the Indian
from the governments overcharge
imply or seem to think. This comes
about, of course, in the ordinary pro-
cess OF rules governing the distribu-
ton of the land, but that does not
lessen the significance of the gov
ernment's care for the Indian as its
ward.
This reservation OF the choicest
forty-one sections out OF n tract of
$4,000 acres, cuts down the area to
be distributed to about one-half, and
will necessarily create n great deal
OF dissatisfaction and disappointment
and yet some of those who drew the
late numbers probably are figuring
that after all they may profit by the
shift, for many who had drawn high
numbers will now abandon the whole
thing and not go near the land TO
exercise their right. But II does seem
to impose something OF a hardship
upon those who went to file, not to
have made known this fact OF reserv-
ing the Indian land beforehand.

In the nonpartisan primary more than
5000 votes were cast out of a total
registration OF 6,6OO. More interest was
taken in the primary than in any mu-
nicipal election in many years. It was
an unprecedented vote for a primary and
1t is generally conceded to have been re-
markably free from fraud. In every poll
ing place there was a large placard
proclaimlng that the Business Mems club
Of Newport would pay $50 for any evil
dence that would lead to the arrest and
| conviction of any person violating the
election laws. This appears to have had
good effect, as there were but few COM
plants of any kind during the day. There
were many surprises in the election Some
OF the candidates who were generally re-
garded as strong, made an Indifferent
showing. Others whose chances were
not considered good piled up an astonish-
ing number OF votes. Sixty-four names
were on the ballot They were arranged
alphabetically. The result indicated that
the voters had studied the ballot to ad-
vantage and that a candidates position
thereon cut little figure in the voting

name led all the rest, was conspicuously
