An Indian View of Fourth of July Celebration As the Indians are ad vane ing toward civiliztion, and they have already given up their war paint, and have taken up the amies of peace. Who then shall start them in the right way of civilization. It is true, the white man has taught the Indians bad habits. What we gtrt to the point -in both sides, we all say, that the Indians are generally innocent, so the civilized men have more to answer for ihe wrong.
