ALWAYS FOUND TOGETHER

Wherever there is an Indian reser-
vat.Cn and republican officehOlders,
there is stealing and swindling. 1t is
just as bad down in the state Of New
York as it is in the Indian territory
or mp on the Omaha reservation. Even
the sanity Rockefeller has been at 1t.
Rt. Rev. William D. Walker, bishop of
the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
western New York, said at Rochester,
in O public address and in an inter-
view, that some of the steals in New
York state parallel those charged
against members of the Dawes COM
m ssion in Indian territory, and only
OF a smaller magnitude because of the
lesser opportunity.
The bishop further remarked: Con
stant vigilance must be exerted by the
friends of the Indians to keep them
fr>m the talons of these birds of prey.
Perhaps the bishop has in mind littlc
Rockefeller transaction which was as
follows:
The Seneca Oil company, which was
permitted to exist for short time,
succeeded in purchasing valuable
holdings from the Indians in the
southwestern part of the state, and
made them large promises as an in
ducement. The lands were obtained
at ridiculously low rates, and then al
most Immediately were sold to the
Standard Oil company at price esti-
mated at from $150,O00 to $200,000
Rockefeller would rob an Indian just
as he would hard working house,
wife.
>~e~~~~~~~c(
DR.. Harper, of Rockefeller's univer-
sity, got concession from the sultan.
Then he came back to Chicago and
announced that there had been
amazing progress in Turkey since
Abdul Hamid began to rule twenty
nine years ago."
