FOREST CITY. POTTER co, so DAKoTA JUNE i 1916

| Perhaps some of our readers
imagined The Press had taken
pretty big contract, after reading
our article last week about i'm
proving the old Muddy-and are
still dreaming to the same effect.
Luckily, The Press has chance to
come back at EN- again. in the fol
lowing account of little incident.
which we quote from the Kansas
City Star of May 9th.
We only have the time to re
mark i'm passing, this time. that it
appears to us that the clipping
shows that the army engineers
need whole lot OF volunteers to
aid them in their ork of improv-
ING the old Muddy; but the trouble
is, as constituted bv the law and
precedence, the army engineers
don't have anything to do with
flood controls they were constitut
ed to assist the bright statesmen :
at the national capital i'm manag
ing the ''pork barrell as far as
the Missouri river is concerned.
"By placing in upper reaches of
canyons and ravincs obstructions
consisting of small, Inexpensive
dams of stones and logs, arranged
one above the Other like the steps
of huge stairway. it is hoped to
solve the flood problem in Cali
fornia.
"Everv ycarthousands of dollars
worth of damage is done by water
overfiowing the banks of streams:
but recently board of California
engineers began work in an ex
perimental way, with the object OF
checking the high water by means
of the Swiss system of flood con
troll. They selected ravine with
steep slopes which had always
given trouble i'm the past, and built
across it a series of tiny dams.
only few feet high. Then from
an artificial reservoir, Quilt espec-
tally for the purpose at the head
of the ravine, they released a huge
volume of water in order to sim
ulate conditions following cloud
burst.
1.-The wall of water went surging
down the valley, but when it reach
ed the first check dam its velocity
was somewhat impeded Still. it
continued onward until it reached
the second obstruction. which also
acted as ouietus on the torrent
ial flow The process was repeat
ed from one dam to the other. un-
til at the bottom of the valley. al
most no flow occurd. In other
words, the series of check dams
acted like so many breaks stopping
the onward rush of railway
train. a certain amount of water
is impounded behind each dam
and gradually seeps away into the
subsoil, without doing any dam
age.
"The results of the experiments
as reported by Engineer Harry f..
OImsted, are considered to be so
successful that Zig field of use
fulness for the check dam method
of flood control is predicted.'

EIGHTY FOUR
RED M FIN
Of Cheyenne River Reservation As.
sumo the Duties of Amer.
iean Citizenship

The following account of the
ceremonies connected with the de
livery of Patents in fee simple to
the eighty-four new made Indian
citizens of the United States we
adopt from the Outlook magazine
of May "a, as it was duplicated at
Eagle Butte, except the presence
of Secretary Lane, the quotation
being an account of the ceremonies
at Yankton Agency. The pro-
ceedings at Eagle Butte were con
Quoted by Major Mclaughlin as
sisted by Sup't F. e. Campbell.
Following the account are the
names of the eighty four allottees
of Chey. River reservation who
have been elected as American cit
liens.
From here Major Mclaughlin
went to the Standing Rock Agency
where he conducted the same cere-
monies for forty allottes of that
reservation.
Secretary Lane, of the Interior
Department, has long been an ear
nest advocate of the policy of
making Indians citizens just as
fast as they can exercise citizen
ship intelligently. When citizen
ship is bestowed, individual rights
and responsibilities replace tribal
allegiance and wardship to the
government. The transition is a
solemn and important step for the
Indian, and it should be marked
with fitting ceremony. The Am
erican Indian has a natural liking
for symbolism and ceremonial.
Accordingly, the Secretary has de-
vised what seems to us remark
able and impressive ritual, used
the other day when at Yankton,
South Dakota, nearly two hundred
Sioux were made citizens and pre-
sented with individual patents to
their allotted lands. The Sioux
themselves. in an invitation to the
Secretary to be present, said:
g Thirty or forty years ago we
were living in wigwams in our
primitive ways, with the idea that
the Government owed us living.
and therefore we had no thought
of the morrow. But in recent
years there have grown up. super
ceding the wigwam, fine dwelling
houses, and instead of our ponies
being turned out on the pralries to
Craze we have fine barns with two
or three work teams each, with
lofts full Of hay, cribs of corn,
bins of wheat, coops of geese,
ducks, and chickens, and where
thirty or forty years ago were
wild prairies now grow beautiful
wavy fields of corn and wheat, the
industry of us Indians. We have
come to know that instead of the
government owing us living the
world owes us that living, and we
have started out to collect it.
''In opening the ritual Mr.. Lane
declared that the President hae
sent him ''to speak a solemn ano
serious word to you, a word thai
means more to you than any Other
YOU have ever heard;" that tht
privilege of becoming free Amer
lean citizens was to be ''pointec
out by symbol and by word, Sc
that 40 man or woman shall MOI
know its meaning"
The entire ''ritual' is notable
for its sincerity and the charm Of
it's symbolism. Each chosen In
dian was called out by his white
name, and asked to tell his Indiar
name. Then he was handed a bow

Secretary said to him, calling him
by fis Indian name: You have
shot your last arrow. That means
that you are no longer to live the
life of an Indian. You are from
this day forward to live the life of
the white man. But you may
keep this arrow; it will be to you

Indian took the handle of the pillow
the Secretary said: "This act means
that you have chosen to live the
life of the white man-and the
white man lives by work. From
the earth we must all get our hv-
ing, and the earth will not yield
unless man pours upon it the
sweat of his brow. Only by work
do we gain right 10 the enjoy

presented with leather purse.
a small flag. and a golden col

and the Secretary impressively ex-
planned what each meant Thus
the purse means ''tlat the money

flag you ever have bad or ever will

his hands, head, and heart to the
doing of all that will make him a
true American citizen. In the
same way the Indian woman is
handed a work bag and purse
and told what are the ideals of the
American family and home. The
ceremony is repeated with each
man and woman, and as it CON
cludes the audience shouts its
greeting to the new citizen, hail

There are both romance and
common sense in this ceremony.
It is a tokan of notable advance in

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-12-18

No wonder Mr.. Bonar Law, the
new British Chancellor of the EX-
cheouer, said last week: 1--WE cannot
90 on at this figure indefinitely"
That is not an expression Of doubt.
1t is the aspect in which the fact
presents itself to a financial mind.
The cost Of the war has been rising
as well TO the enemy. It cannot go
on indefinitely at this rate. AT the
very first finance said that such a
war could not run more than a few
months-say, at the most, six-for it
would consume funds at a rate that
would soon bankrupt the world.
That was to say, there would be a
financial limit to its duration. Now
that it has run into the third year
and funds are still forthcoming
though the cost is already more than
ANYBODY could have imagined, there
is fashion of saying that there is
no financial limit TO its life. But
there is. Finance understimated the
resources of the world in available
wealth. People are much richer than
they knew. Nevertheless, there are
limits. In theory people might con-
tinue at war, so long as they were
able to feed, clothe and arm them
selves. without money at all. The
government might simply confscate
everything it needed and stop pay
ing. In practice everything has to
be paid for, even in Germany, be-
cause modern activities are too COM
pick to be suddenly thrown back upon
a primitive tribal basis. A govern
ment may issue a decree confscating
food on the farms, but to get posses
sion of it is a very different thing.
The only practical way is TO pay, and
when a government cannot pay, or
when the people are unwilling any
longer to accept the paper in which
il pays, the financial structure col
lapses and the end is there.
