Indian, or, you misstate the facts
if may assume that you know them.
Indians Leave No Record
Coming to your comment No. !.
I should like to remind you that in
the writing of Indian history--in deal
ing with Indian treaties and Indian
may refer; but it is the white mans
record. The Indian left no record.
l therefore question the accuracy of
your statements about treaty-break-
ing being q common pastime among
the Indians, and in which you under
take to fix the scale of culpability
attaching to the Navajoes, the Black.
feet and the Sioux.
But altogether aside from the ac-
curacy or inaccuracy of your state
ments in that regard, the subject is
entirely out of place in your review,
and equally SO in your letter. Al
legged treaty.breaking or, for that
matter, actual treaty-breaking among
Indian tribes, gives us no right what
ever to violate our own treaties.
Whatever may have been the basis
of the Indians title, it was passed
as title good for treaty making pur-
poses: at least, it was not disputed
at the time of the making Of the
treaty. Your suggestion is the first
an donly thing have ever run
across bringing forth the question of
the Indians title rs excuse or justi-
fication for violating an Indian
treaty.
You say that, 50 far as you are
aware, there has been mo through
study Of the history of treaty making
with the Indians. There has been a
good deal Of hysteria on the subject
and many outrageous falsehOods have
been scattered about, but an impartial
survey of the subject is yet to come"
cannot see the point or purpose Of
your statement except it be to con-
fuse and bcfog. We have the treat
les themselves. They may be found
in the books. We have the white
mans story Of his own violation of
those treaties. What more is need
ed? Your reference to "hysteria"
and Outrageous falsehood" is mean
ingless.
You assert that the Indians did
not observe the treaty Of 1868, and
you list a number of alleged raids
and depredations. You are silent up
on the subject of the white mans
transgressions. l do not undertake
to say that the Indian did not fail
to observe the treaty; but do not
accept your unsupported statements
and specifications a. to various acts
which you mention. II you can refer
me to any official record showing
an orderly Investigation Of alleged
Indian attractions. shall be glad to
accept the findings M establishing
Indian responsibility; but your wild
and reckless statements ttanding
alone, are worse than useless. Broad.

treating band does not help the mat
ter. As a rule, though by no means
always, the Indian would fight
against odds in defense of his wives
and children and pony herds. But
he would rarely or never attack either
white men or other red men except
when he felt sure that all the advant-
ages was on his side.
In the account of the Powder River
fight in your book you have pictured
an episode unacceptable by any one
who has consulted the available mate
rial on the subject, including the ac-
count by, an officer who was also
the correspondent of the New York
Tribune. If you would but reflect
that the total loss of the whites was
four men killed and five men and one
officer wounded, you would see that
the scene you have depicted is some
what too picturesque to be accurate.

entire security, they kept up q

d. The village was completely

Building, Bismarck, N. D.
My dear. Mr.. Byrne:
have carefully read your letter
to The Outlook regarding my review
Of your book, SOLDIERS of the Plains"
! fail to find in it anything which
calls Tor modification Of my judg-
ment.s I wrote Of your book as q
work with which one may wholly dis
agree and yet read and remember
with interest and q certain apprecia-
tion." Because Of wish that these
questions may be thoroughly discuss
ed, hope that your book will be
widely read. But agree with almost
none of its generalizations and with
but few of its statements Of purport-
cd fact.
l believe in "justice to the Indian"
believe in giving him every oppor-
tunity of which he can make benefit
cial use. But cannot see that SEN
timentalixing over his savage ances-
tors helps him in any way: and ! am
very sure that IL does . grave injus-
tice to the white. who was so often
the victim Of the savage's propensity
for plumber, destruction. torture and
massacre.

Jones continued quite as poorly in
the sixth. Two hits and two walks,
with a sacrifice fly and an error by
Myer, gave the Mackmen their last
three runs and Jones a ride to the
showers.
Tough luck was handed out to
the Griffs in great gobs all day.
AT the last moment Manager Harris
decided to start Fred ,Marberry and
the big boy was delighted at the OPP
portunity. Then, taking his last turn
at the plate in the batting practice,
Marberry was beaned by Bob Burke.
He was struck above and behind
the left ear and fell like log. To-
day he still complained Of certain
heaviness in his head, though it did
not ache. He can hardly get his hat
down over the bump. though.
Plans had to be hastily arranged
and General Crowder started. He
had his rough deal in the third when
with two out and two on bases, he
failed to retire Simmons.

inning without allowing the
MaclSmen a run. All three were

First Joe Judge, circling under a
high foul II. caught his spikes in
q box cover and stumbled just as
he was catching the ball. That
gave Simmons another chance.
Then Muddy Ruel juggled third
strike, losing it altogether. Up
went another foul fly. this time
toward third base. and Ruel and
Bluege both went for it. Neither
got it and Bluege was charged with
an error.
Naturally, when luck so favored
him, Simmons finally came through
with hard wallop to left field,
scoring Walberg. Bishop chased in
behind him but would have been
thrown out by Goslin except that
Crowder intercepted the throw too
near the plate. Two runs were in
