Big 2-Day Celebration
At Fl. Yates A Success
Appropriate Program Of Field Sports
And Cowboy Stunt. Pulled off
Supt. Kitch's Address


in Fort Yates with an appropriate
two-day program on the 4th and 9Th,
instead of on the 3rd and 4th, as
advertised. The change was made
because the crowd was slow in
coming in and many who had come
to celebrate wanted to attend the
sale Of horses belonging to the Pierre
estate which was held at the Agency
stock yard on Tuesday the 3rd.
The program was entirely in
charge Of the Indians of the Agency
district, and the committee is en-
titled to much credit for the manner
in which it was carried out. There
was a large crowd Of both Indians
and whites in attendance, parti-
cularly on the Fourth. The crowd
was made up largely of new
settlers who have located on the re-
servation within the last year.
The proeram opened the Fourth
with . parade, following which
Superintendent J. B. Kitch deliver
ed the opening address. His re-
marks were appropriate and timely
and was for the benefit of the In
dians.
Mr.. Kitch dwelled briefly on the
advancement the Indian was MAX
ing, and called attention to the pro-
vision the government had made for
them in furnishing horses, stock,
seeds, farm implements, etc. He
said the time had now come when
the Indian should get ready to be-
come an independent citizen and
work out his own way without fur
ther aid from the government, and
to this end he pledged his support
and cooperation. Mr.. Kitch fur
ther said that the time had arrived
when the Indian should look upon
his white neighbor as an equal and
instead of letting the white man
lead the Indian should enter into
active competition with his white
neighbors.
Speaking about issuing patent-in-
fee, Mr.. Kitch said that he hoped
before he laid down his work on
this reservation that they would all
have their patents and be in shape
to get along without any government
supervision. He urged that the In
dams should make ample provision
during the summer for his stock by
putting up hay, and when harvest
came get busy in the fields and
garner the grain that all may be
saved for future food supply.
In conclusion Mr.. Kitch said he
wanted the Indians to celebrate to
their hearts content. Indulge in
sports and past times and dancing
as of old, and then when the ceIe-
bration came to an end 20 home
and go to work in the same spirit.
A very complete program of rum
ming horses, broncho busting, foot
races, athletic events and minor
sports was carried out boths days
and on the evening of the Fourth
there was grand display Of fireworks.
This afternoon there is a baseball
game between married and single
men.

This action on the part of protes.
tant christians in Japan has been pre-
cipitated by the transference of the
governments department of religions
from the home department to the de.
partment of education. 1t has always
been matter of debate as to whether
the Shinto cult is religion or not;
but many of its ceremonies have dis,
tinctively religious character and as
such the enforcement of them in
schools and at patriotic ceremonies is
felt by Christians to be an infringe
ment of religious liberty.

Farmers and CattIemen to Meet.

DR.. ]. F. Chapman supervising vet
erinary inspector of the L. S. Bureau
of Animal Industry. has called a
meeting of Putnam county farmers
and stockmen at the court house to-
morrow Saturday at o'clock. The
meeting : for the purpose Of I'M
proving live stock conditions in this
county and one Of its chief purposes
will be to organize for the eradlca-
ton of the fever tick.
The L. S. Department of Agricul-
ture is helping the counties in this
matter, and at the meeting tomorrow
one of the matters to come up is the
selection of a man to take charge of
the work Of tick eradication in this
county and who will be in the pay OF
the department.
It will be remembered that some
two months ago the board Of coun-
ty commissioners selected Mr.. Cor
don E. Baker for this work. But
Mr.. Baker failed to qualify and has
since decided that he could not ac-
cept the place as he has been en-
ployed by the Federal government
where the pay is much better. Mr.
Baker is son Of Senator Baker OF
Clay county and has resided in this
county some two years: he is grad
uate Of the State university, and d
young man who gives every promise
of great usefulness to the country as
a leader in agricultural advancement
Catt,emen and farmers Of the coun.
tv should attend the meeting called
for tomorrow.

PRESIDENT ASKS FOR
DECLARATION OF WAR
Against Austria-Hungary-
A Great Message and
Straight to the Point.

President Wilson's message to the
Congress on Tuesday was definite
statement to the world Of Americas
war aims and OF the basis upon which
peace will be considered.
The message was made known to
all the governments Of the world and
appeared in the public prints in all
parts Of the world Immediately.
This state paper has been declared
'one of the rare documents of which
history will keep an imperishable
memory British and French news
papers eomr2ent in about the same
spirit. The London Daily News says:
1T, is the voice of a statesman whose
vision comprehends the world"
Here are the salient points in the
Message:
Our present and immediate task is
to win the war, and nothing shall
turn Us aside until it is accomplished.
Those who desire to bring about
I peace before that purpose is achieved,
| counsel to carry their advice else
where.
/ As a nation we are united in spirit
and intention. l pay little heed to
those who tell me otherwise.
( This intolerable thing
this menace Of combined intrigue and
force, a thing without conscience or
honor or capacity for covenanted
F peace, must be crushed or
a. least shut off from friendly inter
course Of nations.
When this thing and its power are
defeated and the time comes that We
can discuss peace-when the German
people have spOkesmen whose word We
can believe. and when those spOkes.
men are ready in the name of their
people to accept the common judg-
ment of the nations as to what shall
henceforth be the basis of law and
covenant for the life of the world
we shall be ready and glad to pay the
price for peace and pay it ungrudg'
ingly.
NO annexations, no contributions
no punitive indemuities. Just as this
crude formula expresses the instlnc.
tive Judgment as to right of plalr
men everywhere, it has been made
dilicert use Of by the masters Of Ger
man intrigue TO lead the people OF
Russia astrav.
We shall regard the war as won on
lv when the German people saw to US
through properly accredited represen
tatives. that they are ready to agree
TO a settlement based upon Justice anC
the reDsratiOn of the wrongs their ru
lers have done. Thev have done q
wrong to Belgium. which must be re-
haired.
The peace We make must remedy
wrongs. 1t must deliver the once fail
lands and happy peoples Of Belgium
and Northern France from the Prus
sian CONQUEST and the Prussian men
/ ace. but it must also deliver the peo
rles of the Balkans. the peoples OF
Austria Hungary and the peoples Of
Turkey alike in Asia from the i'm
nudent and alien domination Of tht
Prussian military and commercial All
tocracy.
Autocracy must be shown the uttel
futilitv of its claims to power ant
leadership in the modern world.
Every power and resource We pos
sass, whether Of men. Of money o.
n1a-erials is being devoted and wi
continue to be devoted until we VII

We Do not wish in any way to i'm
