Under these god-given conditions the Greeks had, neither paupers, beggars nor tramps, and in this comparativly happy state, they were loath to treat with Mr. Dawes for a change.

The Rubicon was cross ed, a very Pandora's box "opened, and as had been feared by the Greeks, the operation of these agreements, while in some ways to shrewd educated Indians, has been deleterious to the interests of the uneducated full bloods- Among other; disadvantages, it resulted in mixing them up with a population of adventurous a large and very active proportion of whom are constantly planning and working to defraud them out of the little land allotted to them, hesitating at no degree of heinousness of method to accomplish their pur pose.

Strange as it may appear, many of these people appear to belong to what here in Oklahoma is recognized as respectable of which it is submitted, is not calculated to recommend the white man's civilization to the untutored Creek.

After all these, they were overtaken and overcast by the horrors fthe dreadful war between the states which stripped them of all their material wealth, incurring years of discord and bitterness. Then last ly, came the new policy of tho government enforcing the abolishment of all had learned and acquired in the art of self-government; all of these experiences oroweded into a comparatively brief period, each epoch teeming with potentialities inimical to the in-, terests of Christian ciyilizatipn as we un'derstand it, should not only not have promoted a higher civilization among Creeks, but relegated them rath into savagery and utter extinction. Instead however, tho battered and bruised, we find them still in the ring, erect and in the midst of the struggle, and determined to win out despite all the sinister conditions and negative, influences thrown, athwart thier pathway by misguided hands.

our past in this way, and placing some such estimate on our past troubles and achievements as is here indicated, it becomes easy to perceive how Ya-ha Tus-tun- ug-gee came to regard the present advancement of the Greeks in the ways of civilization as the big thing, the one stupendous monument standing ouL miore gloriously oonsplciuous to their credit than any memorial, in bronze that favoring hands can raise to the honor of any people.
