citizens Of the United States. We should
now break up the tribal funds, doing for
them what allotment does for the tribal
lands-that Is, they should be divided into
sltlon period during which the funds will in
many cases have to be held In trust. This
is the case also with the lands. A stop
should be put upon the indiscrimlnate
permission to Indians to lease their allot-
ments. The effort should be steadily to
make the Indian work like any other mar
on his own ground. The marriage laws
of the Indians should be mace tne same
as those of the whites.
They Need Education.
In the schools the education should be
elementary and largely Industrial Inc
need of higher education among the IN
dams is very, very limited. on the reser-
vations care should be taken to try 10
suit the teaching to the needs OF the par
ticular Indian. There is no use IN az
tempting to induce agriculture in n coun-
try suited only for cattle raising, where
the Indian should be made stock grow
er. The ration system. which Is merely
the corral and the reservation system, ~
highly deterirSental to the Indians. II
promotes beggary perpetuates paupeIlsHi
and stiles industry. Ii Is an enectual
barrier to progress IL must continue 10
n greater or less degree as long as tribes
are herded on reservations and nave
everything in common. The Indian
should be treated as an individual, IKE
the white man. During the change oil
treatment Inevitable hardships will oc-
cur. Every effort should be made to
minimize these hardships. but we should
not because OF them hesitate to make the
change. There should be continuous
reduction in the number of agencies.
In dealing with the aboriginal races
few things are more important than to
preserve them from the terrible physical
and moral degradation resulting from the
liquor traffic. We are doing all we can
to save our own Indian tribes from this
evil. Wherever by international agree
ment this same end can be attained as
