CONGRESS SHOULD MAKE THE

self-supporting tribe instead of n
burden to the National Treasury.
The nation has already expended
$2,779,0OO in teaching the tribe farm
ing, and they have made great prog
sss in agriculture. Further, it would
be a disgrace to the nation to have
the children educated in the schools
and then return to be "brecch-clout
Indians"
All sentiments of humanity appeal
strongly TO the American people to
aid the Indians. While their sympa-
thies are extended to the unfortu-

maxim that Charity begins at

The bill introduced to purchase a

Congress to make the Crow Indians

The purchase money is TO be used,
