MADE
GOOD CITIZENS
BY SECRETARY
Speaking for President, He
Goes through a Ritual with
Many Redskins.

YANKToN, s.. D.. May 2o.-For
the purpose of comforting full Ameri-
can citizenship upon group Of Sioux
Indians. Secretary Franklin X. Lane,
of the department Of the interior Is
here to make general and effective
his determined policy OF giving all
competent Indians full control OF
their individual affairs. and placing
them upon identically the same legal
standing as all other American citi-
zens.
One hundred and eighty-six YAM
ton Sioux were installed as full
fedged members of Uncle Sans fam
lily and incidentally presented with
patents to their allotted lands.
An interesting ceremonial took
place in connection with the bestow-
al Of citizenship. Officially 1t was
known as the ritual on admission
of Indians to full American citizen
ship" The secretary appeared as the
representative of the Great White
Father"-the president-and he in
formed the Indians rs they assembled
about him that the president had sent
MIN to speak solemn and serious
word to them. "a word that means
more to you than any other you have
ever heard. The president has been
told there are some among YOU who
should be given their patents in fee
and thus become free American citi-
zens. 1t is his decision that this
shall be done and that those so hon.
ored by the people of the United
States shall have the meaning Of this
new and great privilege pointed out
by symbol and by word, so that no
man or woman shall not know its
meaning"
Each chosen Indian was then called
out by his white" name and asked to
tell his Indian name. When he did
so he was handed bow and arror
and directed to shoot the arrow. At
ter he did this the secretary said to
him. calling him by his 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 that arrow; 1t will be to you
a symbol of your noble race and of
the pride you feel that YOU came
from the first OF all Americans"
Then calling the Indian by his
white" name, Secretary Lane said
to him:
Take in your hand this plough"
Mt the same time standing the abo-
rigine in proper position behind the
indicated agricultural implement that
is there for that purpose. AS the In
dian took the handle of the plough
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 living and the
earth will not yield unless man pours
upon 1t the sweat of his brow. Only
by work do we gain right to land
or to the enjoyment of life."
Each Indian Gets Flag.
Following this ceremony the In
dian was presented with leather
purse, small flag and golden COL
ored badge, the latter about the size
OF a quarter of dollar and bearing
the inscription: "a Citizen Of the
United States" In the center Of this
badge Is the miniature figure of an
eagle bearing in his talons a draped

more missing teeth, and only 1853 per
cent had dental attention. Over IA per
