Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Addresses Delivered at the Twenty-Seventh Annual Meeting of the Indian Rights Association: Thursday Evening, December 17, 1909 Ladies and Gentlemen: According to the general rule of presidential addresses on such occasions it becomes my duty to give you a brief outline of the work of our Association for the year. It will be also well that I should rehearse in passing once more some fundamental articles in our belief, and if possible make plainer and therefore more effective some cardinal principles in our philanthropic efforts. I shall omit much for the sake of brevity, but I shall somewhat enlarge on principles because we have the great pleasure of having with us the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, the Honorable Robert G. Valentine, who will I doubt not compliment us by telling us with frankness of the situation in his great department, and of the way in which in his judgment such associations as ours can best help him in his work, and I am anxious that he should know exactly how we. ourselves conceive our work, that we may have the benefit of his criticism and of a frank interchange of views. When we met at this annual gathering a year ago, we were occupied with the confinement in an Arizona prison of Byalille and Polly with their six companions, on an indefinite sentence, without any previous trial by any court, martial or civil. Our application for a writ of habeas corpus was pending. Later on, as you know, it was refused by the court of first instance, but this decision was reversed by the Appellate Court in a unanimous decision of the judges who took part in the trial of the case.
