Our government is exceedingly pater-
nal IN its care Tor the Indians, and if the
Indians are not grateful it shows the
d~epravity Of their natures. One of the
recent reports tells US that 1.-The wounded
squaws. with their pappooses. lay by the
roadside, and our soldiers humanity put
them out OF their misery" This being
interpreted means that they were all
SEN to the happy hunting grounds by
means of a bayonet or a bullet. The
truth is that tho Indians do not appre.
ciate the kindness of our troops. and are
exceedingly stubborn about dying OF
getting out Of our way. The logic Of
history is that when an Indian kills q
white man it Is downright murder, bu,
when a soldier shoots a pappoose he
simply puts it out of its misery. Until
the red man is taught to view things IL
q better and more intelligent way there
will bs trouble.
