any white desiring TO do business
must do it under the name of an
Indian or of an intermarried
citizen having Indian rights.
Many whites married squaws,
thus obtaining tribal rights and
the halfbreed children of these
unions are the most intelligent
and progressive members of the
Indian community. Others paid
the monthly tax of fifty cents and
hired out to the indOlent Indian
farm owners or storekeepers,
accumulating money by industry
and thrift.
1t is from this class that the
danger to the Indian portends.
These whites know the value of
the lands. They have or can get
money. As soon as the Indian
takes up his allotment it is his to
do with what he pleases. There
is little doubt that in most cases,
as regards the fullbloods, who
make up about one-third of the
total Indian population, they will
sell out to the whites. 1t is gen.
orally predicted that they will
sell out almost in a body, and
emigrate to Mexico to find a wild
erness wherein they can rear
another edifce of tribal mismana-
cement, while the half breeds will
remain to become citizens of the
new state that will eventually be
made out of the Indian territory.
Willy fellows are these halfbreeds
who we'll understand the value OF
what is coming to them. Far and
wide they have roamed prospect

and their discoveries they have

Making Indian Citizens

Chaotic conditions ex listing in
Indian territory at present are
without a parallel in history.
Nearly 10000 Indians are with
out country and 100000 white
citizens are not allowed to use
their right of suffrage. But out
Of this state of matters the
United States government is
busily engaged in framing a
policy for the future guidance of
a country that bids fair to equal
any part of the Union.
A commission made up of three
members with 800 assistants is
now engaged in taking the final
roll of the Indians ofthe different
tribes, appraising their land and
placing them on their allotments.
By the LIST Of January, 1901, this
work will have been finished and
the Indians will be ready to take
out their naturalization papers rs
citizens of the United States. To
bring this 10 a conclusion will
have involved many years of
labor and an expenditure OF q
b million dollars.

nations promise, made in 1882,
the Cherokees, Creeks. Semlnoles,
Chickasaw and Choctaws were TO
have for their own this tract of
land known as Indian territory.
SO the Five Tribes setup their
government, each holding TO its
own tribal forms. There was not
even an Indian commissioners
sent to keep his more or less
paternal guardianship over them.
But the whites came in, inter-
married with the squaws, cheated
the easy going and indolent full
bloods and gradually gained con-
troll of the government. The
United States government step
ped in to limit the power of the
whites and preserve the rights
of the Indians. Despite disabili-
ties imposed upon them the
whites kept pouring in and, as
their number increared, they so
vehemently demanded recognition
that the government decided on
teadjustment in the interest OF all
concerned. The advances of the
commission, first appointed to
visit the Five Tribes in 1868,
were slow and halting, though
well planned. For three years
they could 90 nothing but ride
bver the territory and meet the
"big" Indians, who promised to
do much but who never did any
thing. Then they sent out the
report that the Indians were |
harbosing outlaws who commit
ted crimes in other states, that
the fullbloods were being dee
ceived as to the real intentions of
the United States toward their
government and the willy half
bloods, who at that time had con-
troll of the affairs of the Indian
government, were using every
means to thwart the purposes OF

Of figures. 1t is especially true of the

though of course it is also read by

Of the State industries is universally
important since everything depends
on the industrial condition Of state
and the condition Of the workingman.

and put out Il report that is il III"
