 LEASES FOR TRAPS

 Aid for Indians
 Every fair and humanitarian reason bespeaks for the native Indian population the kindliest and most helpful consideration by the public and Government. The opportunity of those races for acquiring practical education and for earning a living is of foremost importance and must be supplied whenever and wher- ever it is reasonably possible to do so. I shall urge increased ap- propriations for the establish ment and maintenance of in- dustrial schools and medical at tention for the native popula- tion. Both governmental and private employers should be in- duced to give these people en- ployment.
