preservation of this lake aud the
wild rice fields in and around it

The Committee was impressed with
the Importance of preserving the

Better Chance for Indian,
Now He's a Citizen.
(By Peyton Carter, Supervisor of
Indian Education

(By Peyton Carter, Supervisor of
Indian Education
All Indians born within tho ter,
ritorial limits of the United States
are citizens, according to a recent
law passed by Congress, How
ever, many of them will remain
under the supervision of the fed
eral government for the purposes
of effecting their education and for
the protection Of their property
rights, particularly those rights
guaranteed to them by treaty pro.
visions and such rights as they may
have to undivided tribal property.
In this respect only will they re
main wards of the government. In
this connection t6e Supreme Court
has held that citizenship is not
inconsistent with wardship.
The law making all Indians citi
zens marks a real advancement in
accomplishment for their better
ment. While two-thirds of all the
Indians were citizens before the
passage of this law, the third that
was not represented generally
those lowest in the scale of pro
gress and the one that needed the
most supervision. The rather in.
determinate rights of the non.
citizen under the state and federal
laws, and the consequent apparant
conflict of jurisdiction-the Indian
being federal raGher than a state
ward-complicated many of the
problems relating to these persons.
These incongruities in legal rights
will be cleared up Immediately.
For those who have supervision
over these recently made citizens,
the work in their behalf will be
greatly facilitated. The anomalous
situation of being jus. beyond the
pale of either the state or federal
laws made the non citizens pro
lection often inadequate and the
means used for his guidance in
effectual. frequently there was
no law to punish him for misde.
meanors for which he should have
been punished and he was allowed
to 60 scot free when he should
have been taught respect for law
by being compelled to obey it. A:
other times he needed the protec-
tion Of the law, but as he was not
q citizen he could not always in:
woke its aid as a matter of right.
These annoying technicalities are
at an end. -.
But even more important than
this, however, is the added respon.
sibility that the law brings to the
Indian. He must more than ever
before bend his energies toward
learning the white mans culture
and the white mau's ideals. He
must assume early a worthy place
in our social and economic life.
He should vote, he should send his
children to school, he should pay
taxes. He must become conscious
of civic responsibility. These ex
periences are all new to him. He
must strive to acquire them. : The
law has not changed the Indian g
capacity one whit, but ii
has immeasurably augmented
his means of growth. 1t il
still the age-old concern Of
mankind; how well will these
means be utilizeda More than
ever before, and properly SO, the
problem is up to the Indian.

Little Falls jeweler.
The only flaw in that circular
was the fact that it was not signed
by Bess B. Lee. ,,.
As stated, that historic circular
in behalf of Cong. Knutson was
based chiefly on some CUFF printed
by that archaic old relic, Alvah
Eastman. the guilty man in the
publication of the St. Cloud Jour
nal Press. They followed the old
bell-wether like a flock of ewes on
a Stearns county farm, They
forgot that an ideal congressman,
like Caesars wife, should be above
suspicion. They forgot all about
the dangers of free-love, as SO
often pointed out to the voters of
North Dakota by the amoross
standpat republicans in the Twin
City circles Of Big Business.
Those wives, mothers and SO.
ciety leaders of Little Falls failed
to remember that State Senator
P. H. McGarry, of Walker, in the
county of Cass, was not what he
seemed; that he was spurned both
by men and women voters when
the hypocritical old cutup was
convicted by the Rip-saw of in
venting post-dated checks in Min
nesota and with discovering free
love on Leech Lake.
Despite that feryent appeal to
the voters in behalf of fascinating
Cong. Knutson, by Mesdames
Musser, Rosenmeier, Jensen,
Brown, Batters, LsFond, Berg
and Wetzel, but not the buxom
Bess B. Lee, it has been noticed
by the proletariat that Childe
Harold is not invited very often
to the private homes of those
leaders in politics and society.
There are evidences that those
canny wives and mothers have
made quite a number of mental
reservations in the case of their
candidate for still another term in
congress.
II Cong. Knutson is such a sine
qua non, as Sen. Rosenmeier might
say, what would the Sixth district
do if he We're called to his reward
late some night, just as Brother
Berman, republican chairman of
Beltrami county, was called hence
after making night of it in
Minneapolis some months ago9
The political current is running
strongly against Cong. Harold
Knutson. He has very strong
opposition this year, where it was
weak and light two years ago.
The progressives propose to carry
Minnesota for LaFollette and this
means that they will carry the
Sixth district for DR.. s. G. Ship

Little Falls Women Root
Hard For Harold Knutson
Select Bery Of Society Danes Take East
mans Word That Sixth District
Congressman Is Like Caesars
Wife, Above All Suspicion.


ary election last June was a fervid
endorsement of Cong. Harold
Knutson by a bunch of society
women in Morrison county's capi-
tai.
Those pulchritudinous danes
either are ultra modern or they do
not believe that Childe Harold
tried to play the ancient game OF
Sodom and Gomarrah in a closed
car, on a public highway, down in
or Virginny.
The leading wives. mothers and
suffragettes in Little Falls seem
.ingly never have heard the allega-
tion to the effect that Cong. Knut-
son often has gone to Bemidji
when the spirit moved him to
"step out" a bit.
Perchance the female leaders of
Little Falls haut ton society, as
Madame Charley Weyerhaeuser
might say, never have heard the
story of the actress at Foley.
1t may be possible that the lead
ers of fashion and modern thought
in the late Sen. Buckman's burg
of abode never have heard of the
alleged adventure of Harold Knut-
son with certain chambermsid.
Perchance the sponsoring ma.
irons of Little Falls consider u.
s.. Senator LaFollette's strong
political disapproval of Cong.
Knutson as ample proof that the
St. Cloud politician is an immacu-
late angel with sprouting wings.
1t is quite possible that the
very best women" of Little Falls
do not look upon Cong. Knutson
as a member of the Knights of the
Double Cross because he was dry
two years ago and is wet this year;
or because he is dry among the
Scandivavians ard strong for light
wines and heavy beers when cam
paigning among the moist Ger
mans.
Perhaps the mothers who rooted
for Cong. Knutson in a signed
circular last June would not exbort
their young sons to follow their
political idols example when they
grow up, but they certainly be
