They have made the country what it is and have advanced Indian civilization beyond the expectations of the most sanguine dreamer. The Indian governments could not grow and prosper as they do without them. and yet it has been suggested that they should remain disfranchised and have no voice in the government which they mainly support. I do not claim for the noncitizen any part of the Indian lands. but I do insist that they have rights that must be recognized. They should have the right to purchase tie town lots upon which their buildings have been erected at a"f fair valuation. or should be paid for their improvements bot in town and country. They have a right to ask for such a change of government as will secure to them public school advantages for the 30.000 white children now growing up in ignorance.
