St. Patrick's Day
When first America uprose
And flung defiance at her foes,

Wnon IlfSL America upIOSG
And flung defiance at her foes,
No laggards were the Irish then
In purse or purpose, means or men.
Nor slow to join the battle they
Their weapons flashed in every fray,
And everywhere her banner blew
They closed around it staunch and true.
And whereso'er her veins outpoured
Their life-stream for the cause adored
Commngled in that sacred flood
Was IrelandS best and noblest blood
And ever since in all our wars,
Wherever cleaned the Stripes and Stars,
The loyal Irish, heart and hand,
Have fought for this beloved land.
So in the springtime of the year
When Patricks Day again is here,
'Tis not alone on Irish breasts
The spray Of Ireland's shamrock rests
IT'S not alone in Irish eyes
The tears for Ireland's sorrows rise,
IT'S not alone from Irish lips,
The winning word Of Ireland slips.
All, no! Our great Republics heart
Reveals today its tendrer part,
AS smiling in her state serene,
She wears a touch of Ireland's green.

Few things have been more obstructive to Indian
welfare than the professional agitator who claims
the adjustment Of governmental supervision
the salvation of the Indian There would be
wisdom in the withdrawal of federal supervision
all Indians at this time. The result would be
that large number of old or incompetent Indians
would be feeced of their property and thrown
upon the states as paupers and mendcants and pub
lie protests against neglected conditions would
surely and shortly follow. Such procedure would
be unwise unjust and indefensible
The Indian service has been aided by sincere and
criticism for which it is grateful, but it's work
is too often seriously impeded through misrepresen
tations to the public by speakers and writers of
superficial knowledge or excessive zeal, and what
is more unfortunate, by selfish adventures of
both the white and Indian who chiefly
concerned for personal gain and who seek condi-
ton that would enable them to profit at the expense
of those who, if unprotected, would be duped by
their clever rapacity These go to the people, per-

(By Rose Trumbull, scottsdale, Arizona)
You talk of your breed of CATTLE
And plan for higher strain,
You double the food of the pasture,
You heap up the measure of grain;
You draw on the wits of the nation,
To better the bran and the pen;
But what are you doing, my brothers,
To better the breed of men?
You boast Of your Morgans and Herefords,
Of the worth of a calf or colt
And scott at the scrub and the mongrel,
AS worthy a fool dolt;
You mention the points of our roadster,
With many Wherefore" and when"
But, all, are you coming, my brothers,
The worth Of the children of men?
And what Of your boy? Have you measured
His needs for a growing year?
Does your mark as his sire, in his features,
Mean less than your brand on steer!
Thoroughbred-th is your Watchword,
For stable and pasture and pen;
But what is your word for the homestead?
Answer, you breeders of men!

Under this broadened policy Indians, both mixed

that they are real Americans and favorable report

OFFICE OF INDIAN AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON
March 81, 1920
Mrs F. w. Hannah,
President, San Diego Women's Civic Center,
San Diego, California.
NV Dear Mrs Hannah: have received copy
Of the resolutions adopted January 9, 1920, by
the WomensC CIVIC Center Of San Diego, Calf ornlas
and from inaccurate statements therein, | cannot
feel that your organization gave the matter care1ul
consideration.
Confusion as to the legal statues of the Indian
rests largely with those who have not studied the
subject The general allotment act of 1887, pro-
idne for the allotment of lands in severalty, with
the amending provisions of the Burke act of 1906,
made the issuance of a fee-simple patent the
primary legal requirement for citizenship OF IN
dans, but also provided for the citizenship of any
Indian by his voluntary separation from tribal rela
tons and the adoption of the habits OF civilized
life The later act of June 25, 1910, also provides
for the allotment Of lands to Indians from the
public domain with the issuance Of fee patent
as provided for in the case Of reservation alot-
ments.
Under my administration the Indian Bureau has
made special effort to extend citizenship to the
Indians and prepare them for its duties and response
bilites In the declaration Of policy issued April
II. 1917 I announced that every Indian as soon
as found to be competent to transact his own busl-
ness affairs would be given full control OF his
property and have all his land and moneys turned
over to him, after which he would no longer be
ward of the government. In furtherance OF this
movement, on March T. 1919, instructed the super
intendents of the various reservations as follows:
"You are requested to submit to this eff7ee, at
the earliest practicable date, list of all Indians
of one-half or less Indian blood, who are able
bodied and mentally competent, FL years OF age
or over, together with a description OF the iand
allotted to said Indians, and the number OF the
