LEAVE THE INDIAN ALONE.

II is to be hoped that the Pueblo
Indians Of New Mexico may be dealt
with In the matter Of citizenship a c
cording TO their. wishes.
The greatest bane OF the Indian Is
his love for the white mans whisky.
Living on hin reservation under the
shrewd. II unprogressive government
Of the men of his village. there is
neither opportunity nor temptation TO
indulge. Given the opportunity and
the temptation he can't resist. Under
present conditions. the Indian may
not amount to very much, but he Is
inoffensive, Is law-abiding and is hap
py. Force upon him the right of the
ballot which he neither wants nor
knows how to use. give him individual
right TO dispose OF his property, and In
a few years the peaceful Pueblo vii
lagos VIII be d thing Of the past. The
Indian will be a wanderer, a whiskey
soak. a vagabond. He will sell his
worthless ballot for what II will bring
him. He will be the plant tool Of cor
ruptionists and will prove an agency
for prolonging the yenality which al
ready disgraces our politics. The worst
enemy Of the Indian could not have
devised n more diabolical scheme for
his undoing than 10 give him the bal
lot ana independent party rights, be
fore he has either the inclination or
the understanding to use them prop
erly.
