Joe Craig, local Interpreter and
national secretary of the Brotherhood
of North American Indium, Tins re
ceived a copy of the address deliver
ed by H. O, Valentine, commissioner
of Indian affairs, before the meeting
of,- the Indians In Washington recent
ly. The address in full la as follows:
I am very glad to be here today. I
never feel so much in the place where
I belong as when I am talking to the
Indians themselves. I regret, I am
very sorry, for the great amount of
tlmo that I have to spend here at my
desk In Washington, 1500, 2000,
3000 miles away from where you all
are most of the time in your homes.
It would bo better for me, and by
that I mean that it would be better
for me in the sense that It would bo
better for 'you, If I could be, more of
the time, out among you because it
Is out on the reservation and in the
allotted districts and wherever any
single Indian lives that the work of
the Indian service really lies.
There are three big things in Indian
affairs about which I want to say a
word to you. Just a word. Two of
these things I-have something direct
ly to do with but the third I have
comparatively little to do with. The
two things are first, the henlth of the
Indian and Indian children all over
the country, and the second Is the In
dustrial development of the Indian all
over the country. That Is the biggest
work and the most proper work for
the Indian service. We want to assist
each one of you to help yourself and
to help your children to have good,
pound health so thai you can do good
work in the world and be happy and
we want also to bring it about that
every Indian In the country will be
working at some job or other all the
time, earning money. Those are the
two big things that the Indian ser
vice considers its most proper work.
There Is a third which is mainly the
reason for your being here, and one
of the main reasons why I am glad
you are here today, and that is your
political rights and privileges ail
through the country as men and wo
men, citizens of this country. And
this right and privilege of citizenship
is. in my Judgment, superior even
to the things which I have mention
ed in certain senses. A man may be
in poor henlth or a man may be out
of work and still ho wants to feel
that he Is a man.
It is a good thing to be healthy
and well and so have the happiness
that comes from health, and it is a
good thing to be at work, to bo busy
and have the health and happiness
and the money tha comes from being
busy. Hut in certain ways it is a
bigger thing and a different thing to
have that sense of personal manliness
nnd personal womanliness that comes
from fee'ing that you are a citizen
of the United State's. That Is why I
believe in citizenship for Indians.
Citizenship Is bound to give anyone
who possesses It, even If ho does not
appreciate it at first, bound to give
him gradually the feelings of a man
of independence, of being a person of
honor in his community. Conse
quently I am more than delighted to
welcome every meeting of the Indians,

it:
every galheringr here in Wawhington
or anywhere else in the country,
where you meet to consider together
and arrange together your work as
citizens of the United States. It is
one of the privileges of citizenship,
not only that it leaila to this feeling
of manh ood and independence on thn
part of each one, but It has also for!
you a greater meaning, in that when
you irather together, all your citizens
together present a force and have
the opportunity of accomplishing
things for yourselves that none of you
alone could do. It is that fact that
makes the right of petition or group
of perr.nns to come together and pe
tition the government concerning
their affairs
In other words, I want to see the
Indian all over the country, assert his
rights, political rights in every prop
er way and for that reason it is im
portant that you all meet together
and consider what those rights and
privileges are and what you .leed to
do in connection with asserting them.
I want you to understand how
heartily I am in sympat'ny with any
political movement among the In
dians. You have kindly Invited me
to become an honorary member of
this organization and I want you to
understand Ftraight from me and not
from anybody elso why I can'not ac
cept that honor while I am commis
sioner of Indian affairs.
The Indian Bureau, as I explained
to you at the start, exists chiefly for
those two main purposes of forward-mo-
the health and industry among
the Indians and helping you to put
yourselves, therefore. In the best pos
sible position to a..-rt your political
rights and in asserting your political
rights you ,.vlll have, it wi;i be your
duty and privilege ro take part in
party politics. It will be your duty
to study the candidates in the dif
ferent communities and vote for the
ones that you believe to be right and
good men.
Xow, the Indian office has no hand
of any kind, prop.-rly in politics or
party politics nnd so whl'e I am
commissioner of. Indian affairs I feel
that I cannot accept this honor that
you have offered me; but, if when I
cease to be commissioner of Indian
affairs you still wish to extend me
such an invitation. I might be very
proud to consider It. When that day
comes you will very likely have for
gotten all about it. Hut what I want
to leave with you Is the idea that I
believe in this meeting and organiz
ing to assert your rights and privil
eges and in your taking part in your
local communities In elections I want
the Indian insofar ns my word has
any weight with you or . my Interest
in you any weight In your hearts, to
consider the sacredness of a voter's
duty; the sacredness of each one of
you making up your mind as to the
good character and the ability and
the wisdom of the ninn you elect to
represent you in the congress here.
I cannot leave this meeting with
out saying just one word more about
my belief In the Indian race or races,
as people. I am no sentimentalist on
the subject, and like other people In
this country, nil other citizens, you
Indians have a lot to learn. But I
have not ridden thousands of miles
over your reservations nnd over your
allotments, many times in company
with some of my friends hero today
without finding out that the Indians
have a lot of ability nnd character
which are nmong the best things this
country possesses. In nbility, there
is, In my Judgment, substantially no
Indian In this country who starts
young enough who cannot accomplish
uny object which any of tho other
peoplo in this country can accom
plish. There are men right in this
room, and you will find them in every
other gathering of Indians anywhere
who have succeeded in every calling,
from the fnrm up through all tho pro
fessions.
I want you to know direct from me
that I have no doubt about your abil
ity. As soon as you get accustomed
as tribes nnd as persons to our ways
of doing things, you have proved
many times over your ability to ndapt
yourselves) to those ways nnd make
good In them. Neither will there be
any fear if the Indian will only assert
his native honesty and integrity of
chnracter. If each one of you will
nssert his. own behalf and In behalf
of Tils character, honesty nnd Integ
rity which you possess, the Indian
will tnko a very high place in the cit
izenshlp, the political citizenship of
this country.
I thank you all for this Invitation
to speak to you today and I want you
to know the doors of my office are
always open to anyone to come to
me and see me with the same hos
pitality which you have always shown
to me when I have visited you in the
Indian country. I thank you.

They propose to transform Sixth

fares into veritable avenues of bril
liance nnd beauty.
Plans Vndor Consideration.
The general scheme of decorating
now is being worked out. The illu
minating plan devised by E. E. Mc
Claran. a Portland architect, and
providing' for a canopy of electric
lights radiating from a high Illumi
nated tower on top of the A'eon buil
ding is being considered nmong oth
ers. The committee decided yester
day that all colors used In decorat
ing will be purple and white with
the American flug.
Owners of various business build
ings already are laying plans to win
the first prize offered by the general
committee for the best decorated
building. It Is probable that other
substantial prizes will be ofered.
As it will require much time to ar
range the elaborate decorations ne
cessary to present a proper setting
fr the his conclave tho present is
none too early to lay plans, say the
committeemen. The committee cal
culates to begin work on constructing
Its electric effects and its street and
