The more we study the Indian's character the more we appreciate the marked distinction between the civilized being and the real savage.

The tide of immigration in Canada has not been as great as along our frontier. They have been able to allow the Indians to live as Indians, which we have not, and do not attempt to force upon them the customs which are distasteful to them.

The Indians, however, could not migrate from one part of the United States to another; neither could they obtain employment as readily as white people, either upon or beyond the Indian reservations.

For a time during the early settlement of this country peace and goodwill prevailed, only to be followed later by violent and relentless warfare.
