Purcell Register: While it is probable
that a territorial form of government will
be extended over this country, 1t is foolish
to talk Of abolishing the Dawes commits
sion. It would be almost impossible 10
complete the work here without continu-
ing this body. The proper way to com
plete the work is to give the Dawes
commission plenty of help and enable
them to push things through. As the
work remaining to be done is almost en-
tirely of routine nature, 1t Is not neces-
sary that il should all be done personally
by the present members Of the commits
sion, though they should have supervision
over it. far as the citizenship rolls are
concerned they had as well be closed one
time as another. There would be SQUAD
bling over them twenty years from now
were they kept open so long As that
Close them up. allot the lands and lei
the people settle down TO business.
