Show The Hiawatha Indian Policy. Give the Indian to the army, I Give the red man to the soldier, . j Then shut off his fire water: Tell him that the bar-room's nowhere; Tell him he must hoe potatoes, -Put in wheat and be a swineherd, Teach his maidens butter making, Pie construction, roller skating; How to wear a new fall bonnet; j How to don the gorgeous sealskin; ! Tell him that, if heTd a dude be, I He must have a cane and mow some, Tell him that the daily papers He must read, that he may know more More about his wife's mother; More about politics, and so forth. Thus the Indian, thus the red man Shall become a noble pale face. Louisville Courier-Journal. : . i |
