TRANSPORTATION AND PATRIOTISM"
What the Bulletin Said on the CoaStWise Steam
ship Law Before the MstsOn Lire Began
Giving Its Editor Free Trips.

That represents freight, and the vast
majority Of this freight goes to ship
ping interests that make a good profit
out of Hawaii S business but do little
or nothing in the way of furnishing
passenger service.
The Bulletin believes it to be the
rankest kind of folly for the business
men of these islands to allow this con
dition to continue.
When it is possible for our business
leaders to get together on every otIel
question that comes up, it ought not
to be impossible for these men to as
semble their forces back of message
running to this effect:
".Hawaii will give its freight to the
transportation lines that will give the
Territory frst-class passenger service
with mainland ports.
If such a movement is once started
we believe there will be some genuine
activity in shipping circles that is not
now in evidence.
The people of Hawaii should get to-
gether for the purpose of forcing a
square deal from the people of the
mainland and the capitalists, the square
deal which is now not even granted
us in theory. Under any circumstances
success can only be attained by united,
honest, enthusiastic campaigning, and
refusal to accept stones of promise for
the real bread of Hawaii's life-trans-
portation.

THE HAWAIIAN ANNUAL,

with its fund of information pertain
ing to these Islands, should be in every
office, library and household throughout
the Territory for ready reference.
Visitors and others will find this
handbook covers their many points of
enquiry better than any other half
dozen publications, and all persons de-
parting should not forget to be equip
ped with copy, not only for their
own satisfaction, but for the aid 1t
will afford them to answer the many
c0nundrums relative to Hawaii that
everyone from Honolulu meets with
in going abroad. And for the varied
character of It's information it is the
best kind of promotion literature to
mail abroad. Price, 70 cents per copy,

Indian Race is

in This Country
Statistics Show There Are Forty
Thousand More Than Two
Decades Ago.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O-The popular idea
that the American Indians are decreasing
in number is dissipated by official figures
showing that today there are more than
100000 red men in the United States.
The increase In population of about 10000
during the last two decades is attributed
to the governments constant effort to up
lift the Indian 20 the level of contemporary
civilization. Three and one-third million
dollars is being expended by the United
States annually for the education of more
than 10000 Indian boys and girls

leases approved numbered about 1000 less
than during 1908. During 1909 about 1,OOC
Indians were given the privilege of hold
ing their own allotments, although the
legal title was retained by the government.
Public men whose work has brought them
into close touch with the Indians are i'm
pressed with the view that the race is pro-
crossing so rapidly that eventually the
government will lift it's guardianship over
them. Before his retirement from office
former Indian Commissioner Leupp as
serted that the Indians at no far distant
date would reach such a standard of civil
ization that 1t would be deemed wise to
abolish the Indian office.
