f OF FOSTER SONS Believing ‘Teaching of- Any Lan- guage Other Than English Should Cease ALIEN POWER CENSURED Condemn Foreign Propaganda and Building Up of Colonies of Foreignness Real Americans to the number of 46, members of the Teton Dakotah tribe at Fort Yates, united with Eu- gene Bear's Heart in a petition filed with the house of representatives yes- terday in defwanding an America for Americans, The memorial, addressed to Rep. W. L. Caddell and made a part of the house record, follows: “We, the undersigned citizens of Sioux county, North Dakota, respect- fully request that you present the following petition to the next ses-| sion of the state legislature and usé/ your utmost endeavor to have ade- quate laws framed and enacced in re-| lation thereto: “Whereas there are many people of foreign birth residing in the state of North Dakota who have never be- come citizens and who have never learned the language of our country; and Vhereas these people have shown a disposition for years to band to- gether in colonies and preserve the institutions of the countries from which they came, continuing to speak thé language of those countries in| their churches, schools, homes and in their daily intercourse with ono another, and Whereas these people pave- persist- ently refused to send their children to our public schools where they can learn the American language and be- come familiar with American institu: | tions, and have maintained private and parochial schools in which some foreign language was taught dna in which no effort or thought was given to the inculcation of the purpose of} American institutions or the history of our country, and e “Whereas large numbers of such |ac people of German. birth or ¢ im descent have throughout the present war with Germany not only show their lack of understanding of Ame ican. institutions but have either open- ly or secretly espoused the cause ‘of Germany, although having enjoyed the privileges of American institutions for many years, or even all their lives, being given the privilege to acquire ‘property and vote the same ag other citizens; “Therefore, we spectfully petition and demand that such legislation be enacted at the next session of the North Dakota legislature as will for- ever abolish this pernicious condi- tion. . “First, we demand that the law, per- mitting declarants to vote be repeal ed and that an act be enacted which shall ‘specifically provide that no per- son except a citizen of the United States~shall have the right to vote in the state, of North Dakota. “Second, we demand that insofar as compatible with the treaties of the United States, that laws %e ‘en- acted prohibiting the holding of prop- erty by. aliens. i “Third, we demand that a law oe enacted providing for a strict super- vision of all parochial schools in the state of North Dakota and forbidding the teaching of the German language or any other foreign language in such schools and requiring that wher- ever parochial schols are maintained they shall follow. the state course of study as followed in public schools. In this connection we believe that more stress should be lafd upon the teach- ing of the principles of American government and of American history and that particular attention should be given by a competent state board to see that no propaganda of any for- ~ eign powers is ever again allowed to be incorporated in text books in the public schools of our country. Fourth. we demand that the present law forbidding the use of German language in public meetings or public places should be extended after the close of’ the war and that this law be made to apply to all foreign lang- uages. . “Fifth, we demand the passage o? a Jaw prohibiting the formation of foreign societies or organizations of foreign people, either of secret or open nature for any purpose what- ever, believing that the only way for these foreign peoples to become Americanized is for them to forever abandon their former practices and to live and act just as other Ameri- can citizens should live and act. “The reason for these demands are so apparent and are so well known that no argument is necessary here. We leave it to the good sense of yourself and other member of the legislature to find a way to put these into effect. “Eugene Bears Heart and 46 Others. The Teton Dakotahs of.

More than 200 young men of the tribe entered the service as volunteers or select service men: The grandson of their former chief, justice, Private Albert Grass, or Two Bears, was killed in action in the St, Mihiel salient. Another prom- inent son of the tribe, Ben Cloud, served with distinction througheut the war as second lieutenant of Co. 1 of the Second North Dakota, a Bismarck unit commanded by Capt. A. B. Welch, now Majol Welch, an adopted son of the tribe, and Jargely recruited on the reservation.

LIVELY DEBATE ON BILL GIVING KIDDIES HOMES Measure Attacked on Ground That it Militates Against j Unwed Mothers i _ DEMAND LOYALTY After a rather spirited debate, in| which minority members played the mose important afternoon re-referred House Bill making it unlawful ww separate a} mother and a child undep six months] of age for the purpose of placing the/ 232 infant in any foster homé or institu-/ j, tion, The bill was before the House | on third reading with two reports in,{ the majority report recommending it| for passage. | The minority contended that it was not right to prevent the mother of an! illegitimate child from placing it in| a foster home or institution, where it} could be better cared “for. Those of| the majority who spoke for it declared | that the publicity that the mother) would get under such conditions would | be good for her soul and for others | who might learn of the case. Aside from the debate on this bill,| there was little of interest in the house. Eight bills were passed, one of them amending the section of an s repealed two years ago. , moved that H. B. 46 be indefinitely postponed on} the grounds that Seceion 5888, which | it attempts to amend, was repealed two years ago by Chapter 202 of the| session laws of 1917. Ye read the chapter referred to, but it matle no difference to the majority, and the bill, which came in from the caucus, was passed as per agreement and instruc- tons. When H, B. 32 came up on third reading, Representative Ness, who presented the minority report, asked that the bill be killed as he did not think it right to prevent a mother from finding a home for her child be- fore it was six months old, if she could not care for it herself. Keitzman declared that the bill should pass because it would “ele- vdte our morals.” He said that the legislature had not been paying) enough attention to the human race the mother more human.” dt Rep. Burl Carr of Barnes, argued against the bill, citing a practical case that had come under his observation. home, with all that goes with it, can be provided for a child in the first six months of its life and that very fre- quently it it too Ife to do so after that time. He did not thnik it right that the legislature should pass a bill which would deprive such a child of a home, inasmuch as there is sufficient remedy in the courts in the case of adoptions. He declared that the bill would work an injustice against the mother and the child. Representative Burtness of Grand Forks also spoke against the bill. He eclared that it was far better to pro- vide a child born out of wedlock with a home in the first month or the first six months than it was to wait longer, when it would become hard for the mother to part with the infant. -He deprecated the idea of passing a bill simply to give publicity to unfortunate women. ‘ Rep. Dell Patterson, who always can be counted upon to bear the brunt of the league’s fights, informed the members of the minority that they did not understand the bill. He said it did not prevent obtaining a home in} the first six months, whereupon L. L. Twitchell, just to help him out, read the bill, which says: “That it shall be unlawful to separate a child under the age of six months from its mother for the purpose of placing such child in a foster home or institution.” Mr. Burtness, then asked Patterson what a foster home was. “There’s a difference of opinion,” retorted the league orator. He said he thought it referred to such insti- tutions as the Florence Crittenton home at Fargo. The committee appointed to invest- igate the question as to whether Rep- Tesentative Cleven was entitled to pay and mileage, reported that the house could excuse no member from attend- ance at any session until he has ac- cepted a membership therein by(tegal qualifications, The committee also re- ported that Rep.

The law, the court ‘holds, is superior to any indi- vidual or any officer, and while there general popular conclusion that legislatures shall be permitted to blunder on at their own sweet will, with no interference from the courts. the initiative and referendum have created a situation in which the free- dom of’so-called legislative acts from judicial interferqnces does not always hold true. The court, therefore, assumes jur- isdiction in; the action, which it pro- ceeds to decide along lines laid down in the well kown Blaisdell case, freely quoted in the attorney general's briefs and in his opinion upon wHich the state canvassing board based its action. The state canvassing board by a ma- jority vote of three to ffve acted under the attorney general’s opinion in de- ring all of the seven. amendments initiated by the league passed. Two of these of the seven amendments initiated by the league passed. Two of these had a majority of all the votes cast at tite general election. The re- maining five had a majority of the votes cast for and against each amend- ment, but not a majority of all the votes cast at the general election. The initiative amendment to the constitu- tion’ uses repeatedly the phrase, “a majority of all ‘the legal votes cast at-such general election.” Attorney General Lahger’s’ opinion held that a majority6t alf ‘the legal votes cast could only meat”a majority of the votes severally cast for and against each proposition, and that the whole number of Votes cast at a general ¢lec- tion could not be considered when any proportion of such whole number were balloted heither for or against the question’ ‘in *idbue. «~ } The ‘attorney ‘getleral; ‘state auditor and ‘the thet‘ superintendent of public instruction, Nefl C.

A certificate of election was issued by the canvassing board, whose action was attacked by W. E. Byerley, chairman of the dem- ocratic state ceneral committee, and Theodore J, Nelson, secretary of the Independent Voters’ association, thru application to the supreme court \for a writ of certiorari. The court directed to members of the canvassing board an order to show cause why such a writ should not issue, and the question. was argued the fore part of January, the attorney General appearing for the ‘Canvassing board and W. H. Stutsman of Mandan for the ‘petitioners. Justice Robinson gave his opinion to the press a weck ago, when the public generally ac- cepted his opinion as reflecting the probable attitude of the count. The legislature did not defer to the su- preme court in the matter, but pro- ceeded to ratify all the amendments during the first two weeks of the ses- sion. These seven amendments em- body the vital features of the Famous House Bill 44 of the 15th’ assembly and make possible the economic pro- gram of the Nonpartisan league as embodied in various bills establishing state-owned banks, mills and eleva- tors and other enterprises and issu- ing bonds for their financing.
