child to have two guardians-one
for the child's person and one for
its property. And even then the
child may have property which is
independent OF the guardianship
property. This we believe, is case
parallel to the Indian situation. As
to property, the Indian is only
ward to the government as far as
that property which is directly un,
der the control of its guardian-the
governments concerned. So
while an Indian may not be a voter
still that would not preclude his
being a taxpayer. And while he
may be voter he is not necessarily
Ia taxpayer.
There are no doubt many Indians
who are entitled to vote. Also
many that have some property on
which they were taxable. The vot.
ers among the Indians should be-
registered the same as any other
voters. The taxpayers among the
Indians should also be enumerated,
assessed and taxed the same as any
other persons.
But, which is which? That is
the question, and will require a
Federal decision Of some length to
satisfactorily guide and direct US
along these lines.

New Course Study
For Indian Schools
New Course Of Study and Vocational
Training for Indian Schools.-Divid-
ed Into Three Divisions

The committee on course of study
fos the United States Indian schools
recently convened by the Commis-
sioner of Indian Affairs Cato Sells,
after several weeks work conference
at Washington has completed q
course Of study which will give to
the Indians the best vocational
training offered by any school sys-
tenn in the United States.
1t is divided into three divisions.
The first is the beginning stage, the
second the finding stage. and the
third the finishing stage. During
the first and second periods the
training in domestic and industrial
activities centers around the condi-
tions essential to tile improvement
and proper maintenance Of the home
and farm. The course outlined in
the prevocational division is unique
in the fact that in addition to tie
regular academic subjects boys are
rtA uired to take practic:,. courses
III far ning, gardening, dairying,
farm carDenG:y. far.n ola:ksmit in,
farm engineering, farm masonry,
farm paintin! and soc and .!arnesS
r:;pairing, and all the girls u;e re-
quired to take courses in iome cook
ing, sewing, laundering, nursing,
poultry raising and kitchen garden
ing
Non-esscntials are eliminated
One-half Of each day is given to i'll
dustrial training and the other half
to academic studies. All effort is
directed toward training Indian boys
and girls for efficient and useful liv-
es under the conditions which they
must meet after leaving school.

Would Build Dams
Along The Missouri
State Papers Featuring Dream for I'm
proving Navigation on Missouri RI
ver.-To Develop Power

If the Missouri river were harness
sed, according to the idea OF John
Bloodgood of New Salem, North
Dakota, farmers could ship their
grain by boat from North Dakota
to Europe or any other foreign
country with but a transfer ofgrain
from the river boats to the ocean
/ going steamers at New Orleans.
| Mr.. Bloodgood would make the
Missouri river navigable by begin
ming at the headwaters and building
dams every 100 miles apart, until
the Mississippi is reached. At each
dam two locks should be construct
cd. one on each side, and canals
run out from these dams through,
the nearby country to carry away
the overflow water. In time of
/ floods the water would deposit silt
on the territory adjacent to these
canals, making the soil doubly rich
which is now destroyed by tie wa
ters.
At the dams, electric power
plants could be built, furnishing
power for cities and her industries,
while boats drawing from IL to Is
feet could pass through the river,
being propelled by power from the
stations. Even gun-boats could
reach the headwaters.
Mr.. Bloodgood also recommends
digging a canal from the Little
Missouri through North and South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Okla
homa, and az much farther south
as the water would hold out. This
canal would relieve the Missouri of
it's immense surplus of water, and
in time Of floods would ifrigate this
new valley, making it very product
i've. There would be a sufficient a.
mount of water in this canal to take
boats drawing from 8 to 10 feet.
The Federal Government should
do this work 40 there could I've no
political grating. And there need
be nc appropriations for the con-
sEfEtiQn. Bonds could be issued,
iof. assRt.a&t. 2 & yeara,t IL resenne
from the waterway and power plants
would pay all expenses with q high
rate of interest.
What better time do we have for
doing this? General Goethals and
his force Of engineers are practically
through with the Panama canal,
and with their theoretical and
practical knowledge Of canal build
ing could do the work quickly and
cheaply.. No grafters would have a
chance, and the public would not
be disappointed.

What Is Uric Acid +?

Ever since the discovery OF uric acid
in the blood by Scheele, in 1715, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood of
this poison. Because of its over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu--

times more potent than hthta, and
consequently you need no longer fear

Pierce, of the Invalids Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, for

for trial package OF "Anuric Tablets"
ii you feel that tired, worn out
feeling, backache, neuralgia, or if your

portance than many people are

large they may be.
Judge Richard McCloud has serv-
ed us well and faithfully during the
past four years. He received the
nomination for reelection in the
September primary, on the Demo-
cratic ballot by handsome majori-
ty, and now should receive your sup
port in the election on November
7th.
Judge McCloud's familiarity in
matters pertaining to probate and
his legal knowledge in all other mat
ters with which the court has to do
are of great benefit to all those hav-
ing business in that court and you

been fair and just. He is the right
man in the right place, so let us
keep him there.-Bayfield Blade,

THAT ToTrERY PLATFoRM

MAI lOi Eh ELAl tOhm
Aren't those Democrats the merry
little overnight changers? Two years
ago they declared, solemnly and plat
formily, in favor of compulsory ar
bitration. They said the state, in
the public interest, should forcibly
prevent strikes and loclsouts. And in
this year of grace they fail utterly
in their platform or speeches, to sup
port the industrial commission law
passed by the Republicans, and
which, through its peaceable and
satisfactory working, has prevented
strikes, kept men at work in profit
able contentment and brought labor
and capital closer together than ever
before in Colorado's history. Why :?
Oh, well; it wasn't a Democratic
law, you know!
