with community life of the tribe.
What in heavens name IS to pre-
vent the Pueblos or; any other
tribe from continuing their life as
they always have when granted
citizenship The white race live
their lives as they choose so long
as they comply with the laws of
the land. We contend that the
Indians as a whole could live q
cleaner, more useful and prosper
Gus life as citizens with the pro.
lection of our courts than is possi-
ble under the despotism and "rules
and regulations" of the Indian
Bureau. We heartily agree with
our friend, Mary Lemery, of the
Blackfeet tribe of Montana, when
she says there must be no half way
'doings in solving the Indian prob
lem, but clean them all out.
We would like to see all the
so.called Indian societies who are
doing absolutely nothing to mater
tally aid the Indians in their fight
for justice and citizenship, the
supporters of the Indian Bureau
DR.. Hodge included. relegated to
the discard where they rightfully
belong.
We still maintain, as we always
have, that the only way to solve
the problem of the American In
dian is to grant him full citizenship
with all the rights, privileges, etc.
that 60 with such citizenship, Let
him be subject to our laws the
same as the white man, have access
to our courts, and he will soon
work out his own salvation. If this
is done, instead of becoming i'm
poyerished and his community life
wrecked, be will within ten years,
be forgotten as an Indian and only
looked upon as a citizen of the
state and of the nation-Notwith-
standing DR.. Hodges opinion to
the contrary.

mysterious figures which he calls
"justifications," along with a few
gestures, and in a few minutes has
the poor Indian Committee hypno-
