4 i a HARRIS TAKES ISSUE ON ALIEN SCHOOL MATTER County Replies to Bishop Vincent Wehrle CITES SOME Rep. J. A. Harris of Mercer county, @ pioneer of the Slope and a member 01 the Mercer county draft board, differs | with Bishop Wehrle in some of the con- clusions published by the latter in com- ‘menting upon the Sioux county resolu- tions recently introduced in the house. The Tribune give publ munication, which is “yor follows: Bishop Wherlie in resenting the In- dian memorial makes a few assertions that I must take exception to because it is a camouflage to cover up cer- tain conditions that does exist in many places within the borders of the state. First fact: The educated Indian i human and think for themselves and | > we have many of them. Second ta Alien registration day showed that we had in this country 1,250,000 aliens. Third fact: a That we had in army service nearly 45,000 persons that could neither read, write or speak the English language sufficient to take) orders, i Fourth: It is true the German Rus:! sians,-generally speaking, had to be- little 160 acres of land “Uncle Sam” gave them. Fifth fact, up by,all the ministers or polftician this side of Heaven: There are sev eral colonies ‘that settled in North Da kota 30 to.40 years ago, and because of their education in their native tongue these more readily learned English sufficient to do business, But} today we are horrified to find that| we have in American education AD-| VANCED EACKWARDS.

This condition | was brought to the surface by the} government through the many draft} boards. And the only apology of-; fered by the bishop is: | “pheir first duty was to build up! their homes and to change this west- | ern wild prairie into the prosperous | county it now is” for forgetting in| their fiad rush for money that in so} doing ifhat they made slayes of their children, ‘and whes: caiec to mixwith the ‘outer world are unnecessarily hu- peat a a aiuasS Padly handi- cappediiini : ness yay, |!

I do not believe that any- -jone who has any pride in our state wants these bonds peddled around at any old price, and I don’t believe it is necessary.
