Alice Robertson Reviews
Tribu|ations Of RedmeI1


The story Of her life, with a
background Of a. century of mis-
sionary service by her family for
the welfare of the American In
dian, forms an interesting chapter
in the congressional valedictory of
Miss Alice Robertson, who on
March 4 completed her term as
representative from the Second
Oklahoma district.
This valedictory appears in the
final issue of the Congressional
Record for the Sixty-seventh
Congress, just off the press. In a
discussion of bill for the relief
of the Pueblo Indians. Miss Reb
ertson digresses in a reminiscent
and historical vein to throw light
on what she regards the mistreat.
ment the Indians have had at the
hands of their pale faced con-
querors and the misguided efforts
of would be Indian reformers.

no apology for presenting the fol-
lowing family history:
I'm 1926 my maternal grand
father, with his bride, went from
New England to Georgia as a
missionary to the Cherokee In
dams. The especial work TO which
he was assigned was to utilize the
Cherokee alphabet-the .matchless
work of Sequoyah, one of the
greatest of Americans-in pre-
pairing for the Cherokees itera-
ture ip their own language. =
"A few years later came the
exile of the Cherokee people. No
darker page can be found in
American history than this story
of the Cherokees-a story indelibly
burned.inso my mind as l heard it
in my early childhood from those
who had lived through where
thousands perished. - II
my grandfather, ordered to
leave the Cherokees, refused to
forsake his gospel ministrations
among them at the mandate of the
state of Georgia, of which state he
was not a citizen, and was arrested,
tried and sentenced 10 four years
hard labor in the penitentary. The
case was appealed in the courts
and, on the ground that the state
had no jurisdiction in the land Of
the Cherokees, was decided in the
Supreme Court of the United
States in his favor.
''The then President Andrew
jackson. in sympathy with the
state OF, Georgia, ignored this de-
cision. The governor of the state
of Georgia said the Supreme court
had nothing to do with the case,
and my grandfather and another
missionary remained in the peni.
tentiary at hard labor until, after
serving two of the four years to
which they we're sentenced, they
were pardoned by the governor
and went west with the Indians.

missionary to the Creek Indians,

Law to Protect Indians
Riches Urged by Work.
MlIlionalres VIII Become paupsrs Unless
Some Action Is Taken, He Says. l..

homa Indian councils are now
counting their money in millions
of dollars, ten years from now the
Indians may be paupers living on
the bounty of the state, as we'll as
constituting a problem as a sep.
arate class of citizenship from the
majority.
Immediate establishment of per.
manent educational funds while
the money is still unspent, and
arrangements to extend restriction
treaties which expire April "a,
1881, are two steps which must be
taken to prevent such situation
from developing.
These are the thoughts that DR..
Hubert Work, secretary of the
interior, and Charles H. Burke,
commissioner of Indian affairs, are
carrying with them on their four
day tour of the eastern part of the
state, which was formerly Indian
territory.
Secretary Work expressed en-
tire confidence in Commissioner
Burke, -complimenting him upon
his intimate knowledge of Indian
matters for more than score of
years.
The secretary said that his de-.
partment is prepared to combat
all efforts of designing persons"
to hamper the governments work
in caring for its Indian wards, and
that if the present organization
did not prove ample, it would be
be enlarged,
Commissioner Burke said that
the situation in which Indians
might become a burden upon the
taxpayers of Oklahoma would de-.
velop if a greatly expanded educa-
tienal system we're not built up as
a permanent endowment, the be-
ginning of which must be laid at
once, and if all federal restrictions
were allowed to lapse in 1882,
when the treaties expire.
He said that 80 per cent of the
Indians property passes out of
his hands shortly after he obtains
full control of it. He explained
that after the restrictions are re.
moved the tribesmen will have sole
control of their property.-Denver
Post. v. =
Twas ever thus. If the Indian,
no matter situated. is possessed of
money or property, and if by the
expiration of treaties or other
causes he is about to come into his
own, the Indian Bureau makes
haste under one pretext or another
to block 1t and retain control no
matter at what cost. If this can
not be done, owing to certain
treaty stipulations, then they
speedily derive ways and means to
squander the Indisds' heritage
before the time comes when they
would receive it for their own.
Commissioner Burke is quoted in
the above from the Denver Post as
saying ''Tqe Indians:wouId become
a burden upon the taxpayers of
Oklahoma if greatly expanded
educational system were not built
up at once as a permsnent endow-
ment." Sure, say for instance q

THE inherited religion of these
people is beautiful in its simplicity
and near akin. to the Christian
religion. They are not pagans,
but men whose so called vices are
really the primitive virtues. They
worship the Great Spirit; they live
a communal life that is beautiful
in its hospitality and Golden Rule
simplicity, and which, if such a
life may continue to be practicable
under the laws Of Oklahoma, will
yet be worked out to an ideal con-
ditionl Gathered around their
sacred fires, the mystic ceremonies
of their faith are not so far remote
from Christianity but that the
acceptance of the Christian relig-
ion comes without violent reaction
to them.
: THE ceremonial dances of both
sexes are strangly appealing in
their stately dignity; the athletic
games of youths and older people
are marvellous in their clean, fine

abhorrent to them, and LIQUOR, the
source of most Indian troubles, is
never tolerated at their gatherings.
