Our Relations With The Indians Have Been

Whether Or Not Our System Of Indian Management Has Been A Success During The Past Ten, Fifty, Or Hundred Years Is Almost Answered In The Asking.

On The Contrary, If They Are Treated With Justice And Humanity, Proper Example And The Advantages Of Education Given Them, The Coming Years Will Be As Bright And Prosperous To The Unfortunate Race As The Past Has Been Dark And Painful.

Looking At The Purpose Of Our Government Toward The Indians, We Find That After Subjugating Them It Has Been Our Policy To Collect The Different Tribes On Reservations And Support Them At The Expense Of Our People.

To Illustrate To The Indians The Advantages The White Race Had In The Telephone I Divided A Body Of Warriors From Sitting Bull's Camp Into Two Parties And Had Them Talk To Each Other Over The Telephone Line.

It Is Unfair To Suppose That One Party Has Invariably Acted Rightly, And That The Other Is Responsible For Every Wrong That Has Been Committed.
