They were given an opportunity to enter the ranks of civilization, but
they refused the offer. Then, trade and commerce urged and then forced
it upon them, and seeing that they had to progress, they took hold of
opportunities, and now, never let the smallest opportunity pass by them.
When an opportunity does not present itself they go to meet it or make
one to suit themselves. They are giving the world a bad scare by their
persistence and clamors for equality with every other nation and
peoples, due, perhaps, to their newness as a nation and the probability
that they may relapse into barbarism should they get the upperhand with
restraint removed.
