There has been some discussion
among the residents Of Fort Yates
the last few days az to the advisa-
bility Of incorporating as a village.
This would require the election Of
village officials. including village
constable. Like any course Of &C.
ton, it would have its advantages
and its disadvantages. The chief,
and perhaps the only, drawback
would be in the way Of increased
taxes. The expense. though, of a
village the size Of Fort Yates could
be kept very small, depending en-
tifely on the attitude taken by the
towns citizens.

Elements for such offenses BY the

credit to the Sioux as a people, pre-.
cisely similar TO such cases among
white people. Nor did they learn
this from white people, it dates far
back in their history, tho it was
regarded as contemplate. :
In case a mere girl was misused,
and the wrong not condoned by mar

fender was quite certainly dubbed
to death or otherwise. killed BY her
maternal. uncle or near relatives.
And on marriage in such case the
young man served her father was
practically her fathers slave, for a
year or more. Z
Home offenses were infrequent
among Western Sioux, tho they had
become more frequent among the
Missouri River Indians in contact
with familyless white men. And the
Sioux yielded somewhat to the same
influence. Familyless persons, in
Guiding soldiers, seem to be danger
GUS to such good morals as are
essential to home.

Sioux allowed summary killing
as punishment for violating home.
This WIS the old law. It was 60 in
modern times, sometimes. But if
the offended husband, having the
offender in his power, RETAINED from
taking his life he was regarded as q
drawer and nobler man than ifhe
invoked the old law Of vengeance.
And the desire for honor, as great
among Indians as among other PEG.
pies, restrained from wrath, mostly.
All men like honor.
A man guilty Of such an offtense
suffered the keen lash of social op-
probium, keener in tribal than in
an individualistic social make, was
ostracized from the public feasts and
social functions including citizenship
and he was esteemed d dog So he
got his punishment by the public,
tho the offended man, exercising
that brave self-control which was
especially taught and cultivated by
the old Western Sioux, did not take
the life Of his dog-like tribesman.

AZ the East Sees Us

In the midst Of the present in
tense political fight new raging in our
state, there is perhaps but one thing
about which both sides will agree,
that is, that North Dakota is
al right. At the bottom there is
no sounder state in the union.
The state indebtedness, as yet, is
practically nothing. North Dakota
has not experienced any false land
boom as have neiehborins states.
This fact alone is bound to insure
the return Of outside money, regard
less Of how the recall election goes.
Both sides, however, seem eager
to picture conditions in an exagger.
ated form. so that they can lay the
blame for these CONDITIONS to the
other side.
The result Of all this can be seen
By reading eastern papers and per-
iodicals. This is the way Harvey's
Weekly, in its issue of February rs,
describes the situation in North Da-
kota:
THE result is chaos. Seldom
has any American State been in 80
hapless plight. Banks are closed;
State obligations are dishonored {;
farmers are refusing to nay any
more taxes to so mismanaged a gov.
eminent; schools are closed, or to
be closed for lack Of funds. -"
The average patriotic citizen of
North Dakota, regardless Of party
affiliations, will find it hard to bear
with those within our state who are
responsible for thus dragging our
states good name in the mire.
