WAR ACHIEVEMENTS
OF INDIANS CITED

Fort Yates, N. D., April ,21.-War
achievements were cited by. a district
Judge recently In holding local trust
patent Indians to be qualified electors.
1t was said to be the first instance in
the United States OF a court rgiving
of the ballet as determined by their
status ef civilization.
The cast was a contest Of an cleo
ton to determine whether the seat Of
Sioux county SHOULD be removed from
Fort Yates to selfridge. The PROPOSE
ton failed to carry at the polls. Fort
Yates also has an agency for the
Standing Rock Indian Reservation. Phe
court declared that ameng those who
voted at the election were certain
~trust-patent Indians sufficient in NUM-
Der to change the result"
District Judge W. F. Crawford, who
rendered the decision, held that those
Redmen who voted came within the
provisions of the state-constitution de-
ining qualified electors for any cleo
ton. Tie pertinent section includes
Civilized persons of Indian descent
who shall have severed their tribal re-
iatiops tEo years next preceding such
elertion." y
The findings Of fact and conclusions
Of law continued in part as follows:

dian descent who voted at said cleo
tien we're civilized persons and had
severed their tribal relations more
than two years next preceding said
election. The court finds as facts that
said trust-patent Indians live separate
and apart from each other, intermin-
gle with white people who have pur-
chased and own land in the reserva.
ton and the same are intermingled
That the civil rights of said Indians
are determined by the courrse Of this
state.
THAT no tribal relations exist OF
have existed among such Indians for
more than two years prior to said
election: that they own and farm their
land; own cattle and control the
same; live in. separate houses about
| the same as white settlers in thai
community with whom they are CO.
mingled: have a rather high standard
Of Intelligence and education, and q.
high a percentage under SO years OF
age that are able to read and write
as n average community in this
state; that they maintain their church
es and schools, and were very active
in war activities during the world war,
many of them joining Me army. That
in all walks of life such Indians are
on a par with the average corHmuni-
ties in the state.''
Action was brought by Selfridse
representatives to disaualify the In
dian vote. 1t Wak contended the In.
dams were wards of the federal gov.
eminent and uncivilized to the extent
the vote could be withheld from them

It may be illus ative of different classes of people of the different states of mind ant leart of each individual. This parab'' ; said to be the most classic in torn md dearest in meaning of all thos' ccorded. It has also been compared to ' cathedral window, looks dull and l'ngy to those without, but to those within is beautiful with light.
 There is a class represented before hose members one cannot expres? )ne's best thoughts; pearls before swine.
 The second is enthusiastic to be- gin, but has no will to continue.
 The third receives the truth, but allows business or pleasure to so crowd upon it that the truth cannot function.
 The fourth class is represented by the fruitful soil. A word to the wise $ sufficient. Those in this class are fulfilling their mission in the world.
