Excerpt: ... to be a thoroughly honorable and high-minded man, with good judgment, and to be earnestly devoted to his duties as agent, and to the advancement of his people. He told me frankly that he wished to do his duty so thoroughly and well that his work would be creditable to the administration which appointed him. This appeared to me to be a worthy and honorable ambition, and if Mr. Anderson is sustained by the Government, and properly supported and assisted by the subordinates on the reservation, I confidently expect his administration to be highly effective and useful.

Excerpt from Report on Menominee Indian Reservation Second, The Board of Indian Commissioners, of which I have the honor to be a member, has been attacked on the floor of the House of Representa tives, and members of the Board who do not receive a cent from the Govern ment for their services have been referred to as a useless body of pap suckers.
