I am leaving it convinced that it Is the Indian Old Man of the Sea. who will try to cling to bis neck in a strangle hold forever. Mr. Chairman. the money spent to keep these Indians under a guardhouse system works a deadly injury to the Indians themselves. Would anyone advocate the reservation and agency system for the immigrants who come here from foreign lands? Would anyone propose to resurrect the freedmans bureau and put all negroes under a bureaucracy? Then. why continue to pay out millions in order that the Indians may be segregated. supervised. and schooled on reservations remote from contact with American life?
