CANADIAN Dlsrmor, Aug 81, 1891
EDITOR CmEFTAIN:-We do not
want more promises on this sub
ject but better governmental de-
vice. The Indian agent cannot be
judge and jury on intruders, has
no money to pay witnesses for
attendance, is an executive officer
and is too far away. We want local
commissioners or justices of the
peace, with authority to punish
with small imprisonment those
vino intrude. Fit is close, wit
nesses win attend court and con-
yict at a small expense, and the
intruder will soon be an unknown
thing, The present plan is absurd.
The citizen reports Bill Jones to
the solicitor, the solicitor reports
it, if he don't forget it, to the
chief and the chief demands the
removal without knowing whether
he be an intruder or not The In
dian agent writes to an Indian
policeman, paid eight dollars a
month, to go and hunt up Bill
Jones, serve the agents notice on
Bill advising him that he has
been reported by the chief as an
intruder and must leave the nation
in twenty days or show cause why
not. Maybe Bill sends down an
affidavit he is a Cherokee, or that
he has a permit; maybe he is a
transient and pays no attention.
There is hardly any evidence ever
brought against him and his oath
stands as all the evidence in the
case. If he has no other good ex-
cuse he goes and gets a months
permit and sends it down as proof
Of his virtue and then just goes on
intguding for three or four years
more, till somebody else bothers
him with report. Bill has a
heap easier time than the police
man has to find him. The present
plan does not work and must be
changed. CITIZEN.
