Those who are given to lamenting the passing of the red man" are evil dently premature. From the best data that can be obtained there are more Indians in North America than there were when Columbus re-discovered the continent Of course no accurate esti- mate of the number could he given at the time the whites landed here. but the census reports for seventy years show that the number Is increasing in stead of diminishing. It may be that some of this increase is due to mixed bloods. but the statement Is made that the full bloods are more numerous now than at any previous time in our his tory Better food a more rational life and less fighting may be set down as the main causes of increase. As the Indians leave savagery behind them and adopt the methods of civilization 1t is but natural that their numbers should increase. Those who look for ward to the end of the race will be dis appointed.

NO POLITICS IN CIVIL SERVICE.

One of Alabama's truest sons. who proved his love for his State on many battlefields and on mary fields of civic strife in recent years in a letter to the Editor of The Advertiser says:
 | want to call your attention to g very foolish argument MT. Bryan made recently in an interview, when an- swering the objection that public own ership would bring railroad employees all into politics His reply was, that employees would be under civil service rules and that Congress could enact that these employees should be divided equally between the Democrats and the Republican party. This was ignoring the fact that the essence of the civil service idea Is that politics shall not enter at all into the question of ap- pointing employees under civil service rules. Fitness Is the sole test, the un- deriving idea. The wise Mir. Bryan pro- poses to keep politics out Of railroad management by injecting politics into as convincing as Is his argument that public ownership of trunk line rail- Waxs Is a good thing in Germany. therefore 1t would be a good thing in the United States. And then he has never yet condescended to point out to us any process by which he would de- termine where are the local roads which he would hand over to the States and where the interstate roads that he would take care of himself.

pRonLEMs FOR INVENTOR.

A contemporary remarks that two subjects should especially engage the inventive powers of Americans. the first neine q method of controlling and util- sxing the power of the waves ana tides along our coasts. This is not new subject, for efforts and experi- ments have been carried on for many years along this line. On the coasts in many places the power of the waves which dash against the shores is prac- ticalIy incalculable, and if any means can be devised by which that wave en- ergy can be captured. as it were. and stored and utilized it would form one of the most effective and economical motive powers known to man. To some extent the same may be said of the ocean tides, which on some DOT tion of our coasts rise high enough to Furnish immense power if it could be put to practical use. As We have stated, much thought and labor have been expended in the effort to put wave and tide energy to practical use but so far the efforts have not met with such success as to cause this power to sue ceed others in general use It may be done in the future. perhaps. but we Know not when or how.
 Another subject proposed to the in- quirer was to invent or discover some method of getting more power from fuel That is certainly not a new sub 1ect, for it has been the constant ef- fort of inventors and mechanics since steam was discovered. and not very much advance has been made. Steam is the most wasteful mechanical power that can be used, but little success has attended the cmany attempts made to eheapen it. As fuel of all kinds grows gcarcer the necessity of getting as much as possible out of 1t increases but we still go on bufning wood and coal and getting back but a small per centage of the power in ft.
 This would be much more serious problem than it Is, were 1t not that electricity is fast taking the place of other motive power, The many and in creasing uses of this fluid, and the all most 1imitless ways that can De found to harness it for mans use renders the question of cheapening other power of much less importance. Had electricity rever been discovered, and were we compelled now to depend solely on tsteam, water and animal power, we would be very far behind what we now are in the way of development. In Nentors need not waste much time in the effort to get more power from fuel, but If they can control the wave and tide energy they will do a good work.

runY SLIPPED LIP.

As an instance of how a town or hamlet can cut its own throat The Manchester (N. H.) Union tells of a case in Rhode Island. A trolley road was recently built from Norwich to Westerly. passing within four miles of the little town of Ashaway. The man. agement of the main line proposed to build a branch or spur out to Ash away for the accommodation of the residents of the village and along the intervening route. As soon as the land owners heard of the proposition they at once advanced prices for rights of way to such a figure that the manage ment was forced to abandon the idea. They stated that 1t would cost more to buy the right of-way over that four miles than 1t had cost to buy rights over the entire main line. The natural result Is that the people of Ashaway win be deprived of transportation fa- cilities, and will remain isolated unless In future they can induce the lapd- owners along the proposed route to modify their demands.
 This Is a late example in which greed has overreached itself but 1t is not a solitary one. Those people evidently thought the trolley company were de- termined to build the branch at any cost and thought they could literally hold them up and get their own prices We have known cases of this kind be- fore Any owner of land has a perfect right to demand and receive fair com pensation for damage to his property or for use of it, but when they go on the theory that a corporation is com pelled to have the land and that the owner can demand his own price and get 1t the grasping owner frequently slips up. Even corporations are enti- tied to fair dealing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Debt xs. Roads.

Editor The Advertiser:
 MT. Bryan said at Birmingham;
 All I ask is that when you criticise my platform you know what you are criticising. Some people when they can't answer an argument misstate it. l am afraid that is what has been done York. said that I am in favor Of effective legislation. but if the law could not be applied then I am in fa- vor of government ownership"
 Let us all be equally candid.
 The graYamen of Mir. Bryan's plat form is if the government does not own the railroads the roads will own
 The ownership of the roads having been transferred to the government. the government debt remains with the vendors of.the property; 1T the gov the owners of 1t will own the govern ment. Control of such debt would ramify every feature and function of the government, paralyze Its energies, corrupt its methods. destroy it's form, enslave the population.
 Recovery of control of the govern ment by the people If once it falls into the hands of the few holders nf the debt for purchase of the roads, would become as impossible as democracy and order In Russia.
 There is no necessity for revival of the governmental principle. of entail applied to government ownership in perpetuity of the avenues of commerce.
 
 There is no more reason why the tariff charges of railroads should re- main with the roads for regulation than the taiff charges on foreign imports should be relegated to the ship owners who transport the goods
 There Is no more reason to appre- bend that the railroads will own the government, than there Is reason to ap- prehend that the tariff barons will own the government unless the Dingley law be repealed. True the tariff barons are menacing and even successful but it Is Democratic relief we seek not a law of entail for the benefit of the govern ment.
 Let us pay off the bonded debt of the United States and get back Into the princi iples of democracy Pay the pub lie debt, without which as a foundation trusts could not stand. Close this Pan doras box Liberate private funds now invested in this non competitive species of property and funds so liber- ated will scatter the trust rropertY In railroads and everything else among the people breaking though the walls of mononly
 There is danger from the roads and there Is danger from the tariff but all peril of that nature is reflected from the government debt on which all mo- nopoly Is founded.

A WELCOME VISITOR

Hon. T. E. Burton, of Ohio. is 6 well come visitor to Montgomery today. He is Chairman of the Rivers and Harbors Committee of the House of Represen- tatives and is in Alabama with a view to looking over our waterways and gaining more intimate knowledge of their value and their importance for transportation purposes. There are those> living in Montgomery who have seen 8 dozen magnificent steamers at one time at our wharf. They carried passengers from the far East and freight for the greater part of Ala bama. The era of railroading has changed this but it has not changed the course of the Alabama river nor its importance to many thousands of peo- pie. It is still a great stream and with such an appropriation as its mer- its justify it will prove a great factor in building up the State.
 Mir. Burton will go down the river at an early hour tomorrow morning and make an examination as far as Selma. He will be accompanied by a number of citizens of Montgomery.

And 1t was distinct and distinguished In the sin. cerity of it's quality.

The GIaagow Why.

Glasgow Star.
 If a child use his pocked knife to cut the bark off tree, or carve his name on mahogany table, the knife is taken away from him. This re- moves the temptation to mischief, de- prives him of the object with which damage was done and punishes him by keeping from him that with which he could have much innocent amuse- 'ment. Glasgow applies this method to automobilists who offend, The pen alty is imposed upon the machine. and no tthe man. The autompbile is seln- upwards, according to the gravity or. frequency of the offence. The owner is thus deprived of that which he was not using rationally,, and the public Is saved this risk of having dan gerous machine in the hands of thoughtless person, If a. man were road at the rate of forty miles an hour in the spring and had his $10,O00 auto taken away from him and kept all through the, long summer months he would be likely to exercise greater care next season. It really looks as though the Glasgow baillies had dis covered how to make the punishment fit the crime.
