Show DAILY OUTLOOK FOR LO, THE P INTERESTING TALK BY A HALF-BLOO- Says the Government Doea Toe Much in Some Directions for Their Good. r J. A. Robb, an (ifllcer of the govKtutee United detriment of the ernment and a half blood Indian, ia stopping In Salt Lake, with hie family at the Wilson hotel, says the Salt Lake Herald. Mr. Robb, who for five year has been elerk in charge of the Ouray agency, I on hie way to Wadsworth, Xev., to which place he has been recently transferred by the department of the Interior. In speaking of the conditions and the outlook fur the Indians ns a race, The Indians of the Mr. Robb said: United States cannot he classified as a whole. The northern tribes, the Utes, the Sioux, the Crows, the Cheyennes nnd Arapahoe, are much more backward than the southern tribes. They do not seem to be able to adapt themselves to civilized customs or to adopt modern methods ns readily as their brothers In the south. "The Cherokee are the tribe that has shown the greatest advancement In civilization and agriculture, but they are closely followed by the Choctaw. Creeks nnd Chickasaw. "The government has done too much In some directions for the good of the Indiana. It supplies them with food, blankets, ponies and ammunition. The result Is that they are kept In Idleness without any Incentive to do for themselves. This method may be all right for the older ones, those over forty years of age who are too old to learn new ways and customs. The children, however, should be given a good agricultural education and then should be left to drift for themselves. "This supporting men in Idleness Is a curse to the nice. It unfits them for any useful occupation and encourages them to live lives of laziness. If tbs government would expend the same amount In establishing agricultural nnd Industrial schools, and then compel the young Indians to make a living for themselves It would be a blessing and a fargreater kindness to our rare than the policy that hna been pursued In the past. There are today a little over 300.- 000 Indians In the country. Of this number not over 75,000 are engaged In agricultural pursuits; the remainder simply live as wards of the nation. "The policy of the present administration has been to scatter the various tribes, nnd In this step I am In full sympathy. In this way our people will become uccustomed to the ways and customs of ns they civilization never can when herded together on reservations. "Lliiuor or strong drink has been for many years a curse and a drawback to the race in their efforts for advancement. the Notwithstanding strict federal laws, they have been able to obtain all the rum they wanted and It has proved very discouraging to those who are trying to bring them from their wild roving ways into the circumscribed limits of modern civilisation. "Religious societies have done more harm than good. Their object has been to aid them, but they have In many cases made a miserable failure. They have made pets of them and they are soon spoiled children, conceited, egotistical and unable to adapt themselves to the real conditions of life. "Education Is the only solution of the Indian problem, but this education must be along agricultural and Industrial lines for the present. There are now in school and graduates of schools, about 30,000 Indians in the country. Some of these have gone back to their tribal relations, but not nearly as many ns has been reported. "The Indians. In my opinion, will never make good business men for several generations at least. Shrewdness In trade seems foreign to their nature. They are too easy and free In their relations with one another to ever gather any large amount of capital together. In the professions there has been but little chance to Judge of their capabilities. Dr. Eastman of St. Paul and Dr. Montezuma of Chicago, both full blooded Indiana, have made national names for themselves. These two Instances, however, would not Justify any general conclusions. The one occupation, however, thnt 1 believe should be encouraged among them la stock raising. I believe thnt this Industry would prove especially beneficial among the Utes of Utah and the Slkix of Dakota. "The Adlans love their ponies and are natia-alladapted to the tending of livestock. They are not able, es- lnt-ilo- . pcci.illy in t lie iiilcriiiri'JMiiiii region, to compi le with while men while ''O reservation, without irrigation in r.iiing rops. I believe, however, that lhi-- would become natural stork raiser if given a little encournnd agement. The herding of sheep to them. cuitle would come naturally It would he in line with the natural Instincts born in them for countless I am inclined to think generations. that the solution of the Indian problem Is along these lines at least for the next fetv generations. 'William Walsh on the Uintah reservation has already made a comfortable fortune In livestock and many othera are following in his footsteps." When asked In regard to the opening of the reservation Mr. Robb said: Well. I suppose the United States government Is strong enough to do It, but nevertheless it violates all the treaty agreements. According to the of the male ownera treaty two-thlrmust give their written consent to the purchase of the land. On the Uintah reservation there are nbout 435 men capable of giving auch consent. Inspector McLaughlin has been unable to of these to sign the get even one-haNevertheless, I expect to agreement. see the reservation opened. While I do not like to aee treaty obligations broken, personally I would be glad to see all the reservations opened up and the Indians cast upon their own resources, ns I believe that the aid now given by the government, except In the case of old men, Is a detriment rather than a benefit to the race. con-lin- ed ds lf THE DESERTED COTTAGE.
