PLENTY OF READY CASH
AMONG FIT. PECK INDIANS"
SAYS POPLAR INDIAN

The Poplar Standard, in its issue
of February 22nd, printed an article
on it's front page, presumably writ
ten and signed by Joe %Culbertson,
Jr. Surely this article could not
have been written by him. He must
have been blindfolded and asked to
sign it. Being an Indian himself,
and knowing the conditions now ex-
isting, especially among the old peo-
pie, on this reservation, he cannot
deny the reports made to the Secre-
tary of the Interior by members Of
the Society Of American Indians.
Among other things he says: cit
was contrary for Indians to eat dog
on special occasions" and that they
.'prefer to eat dog to good beef,
bacon or pork. and as to eating horse
meat killed by railroads, it is all
bunk"
We are surprised to note what lit
tie knowledge you have of Indian
history. Not until the buffalo and
other wild game disappeared was he
forced to eat food unfit for human
consumption. Tt is said by many of
the old Indians that it was hard for
them to get used to eating domestic
meat.
We will be fair with you, Mr..
C~ulbertson. IF you are not too busy
we will ask you to make a tour of
the reservation and ask the Indians
whether the reports by William Mad
ison and Meade Steele are true. You
viii find a few who will deny these
reports and it viii be only by men
like yourself who are always hang
ING around the agency Office.
We don't believe the Society is
trying to force the Government to
issue rations to you, so do not be
alarmed. You will not lose your
manhood and Am~ericanism over ra-
tons. However, we do ask the gov
eminent to look after the old people.
Of what good is money in the u. S.
treasury to their credit when they
are forced to live on dog, gophers
and horse meat killed By railroads
He further states: 'The best
thing that ever happened to this
reservation was when the cattle com
pany leased a portion of the reser-
walton at Is cents an acre and put
into circulation so or 90 thousand
dollars" We do not know just how
much money they put into circula-
ton. but of course we all know that
big cattle outfits usually spend vast
