...money or supplies, although the feeling that they have been more or less forgotten by the rest of the country has undoubtedly been a growing sentiment. Said State Senator Scott McGehee of Arkansas last week: "This is not our river. It belongs to the Government and it is the solemn duty of the Government to make it safe. ... I see that Mr. Tilson, the Republican floor leader in the House of Representatives . . . put flood legislation as second in importance, tax reduction in his opinion, being first.

...what Gen. W. S. Harney did to the Indians. He does not mention the massacre of Little Thunder, a peaceful Chief who happened to have his camp in the line of Harney's march. He does not mention the Red Cloud war. Nor does he mention the solemn treaties the Government made at different times with the Indians and then violated foully. Nor does he mention that Capt. Fetterman and Custer paid with their lives for some of the atrocities committed against the Indians by soldiers and other whites. Since you copy only what crooked politicians tell...
