We appeal for justice on behalf of the Rosebud Indians, of South Dakota, and insist that the Government, in taking their lands, without their consent, in the capacity of guar- dian and under the guise of law, shall not confiscate three- fourths of its value, but should provide that the Indian owners receive reasonable compensation therefor. The clear statement of the case written for The Out- look by Mr. George Kennan, and Senate Document No. i58, Fifty-eighth Congress, second session (a memorial of the Indian Rights Association addressed to Congress), which follow, show the gross injustice threatened the Rosebud Indians by the bill (H. R. 10,418), which has passed the House of Representatives and was favorably reported by committee to the Senate, where it is now pending. Until the recent decision of the Supreme Court (January 5, 1903) in the case of Lone Wolf vs. the Secretary of the Interior, which held that Congress may abrogate at will an Indian treaty, it was the uniform policy of the Govern- ment to respect (in form, at least) the treaties entered into with its Indian wards. Since the court has clothed Congress with the authority of an absolute guardian, it is incumbent upon the law-making power to see that the interests of its wards are protected. The bill in question proposes to sell 416,ooQ acret of the Rosebud Indian lands, Reproduction by Permmission of Buffalo & Erie County Public Library Buffalo, NY
