LO. The Poor Indian!

In at least one state in the United States, the
poor Indian seems very well on his way to equality
with the white man, in education, intelligence and
public service. Buffalo county, South Dakota, has
just returned to the dominion Ct the red man as
the result Of the recent elections, with the election
CT full county ticket of Indian candidates It thus
set interesting precedent since it is the first time
that such thing has occurred in the country.
After all. it is not such strange proceeding. The
newly elected clerk Of the courts in Buffalo county,
asked for statement said "What is the use Of the
government educating Indians If they are not to
take their proper place in the affairs Of the
country"
Unanswerablc logic. The one fact that would add
lustre to the Indian victory in Buffalo county, how
ever, would be to know what the proportion Of
Indian and white population is. The victory would
be notable, of course II the preponderance of
voters were white
At any rate, it proves that the governments sduca-
ton program fer the Indians has good results The
Indians have never been any too well treated By
their white conquerors, and in return they deserve
more than an "even break"
