There is no more interesting proof of the American Indian's adaptability to modern ways than that the military stations of the West have lost their former importance. At the present time there is not a single army post maintained east of the Missouri river for fear of an Indian outbreak. When Europeans settled on the American Continent the Indian population within what is now the t'nited States was estimated to be nbout 1.000.000. In 18S.">, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs i-sued a report which showed that there worn 350.000 of (he race in the county. There are now about. 300,000. Rut while the latest estimates may convey the impression that the. race is diminishing in number, careful investigation shows thai, there has really been amalgamation on a very large scale. This has been particularly noticeable in Oklahoma among the Five Civilised Tribes. If you've done something wrong, don't waste time repenting; do something useful.
