Recent statistics compiled by the
bureau Of Indian affairs indicate that
the red man is not passing away at

in the past" Among I0f.Tf7 Indians
during the fiscal year OF 1909 there
were 1856 births and BIS deaths.

WIRELESS" LEGISLATION.
Unless Government Establishes He-
strictions Confusion Will increase.

On two propositions relative TO the
control of wireless telegraphy ta'or-
| able reports have been made In the
| house OF representative. one, ny
intrusiins the task of investigator
| the whole subject to a commission
which would report at The opening Oh
| the next session of congress. post
( pones final action for at least a year
and possibly longer. The other, me
| Greene bill. contemplate Legislation
which IN all probability would take
| effect in few months. As the hrst-
| mentioned plan, embodied IN the ROD
erts resolution. has received the sane
ton Of the committee on naval affairs.
| il is not unlikely that any supervision
which might be authorized on the
advice of the proposed commission
would be exercised by the navy de-
partment The second plan provides
for the issue of licenses by the de-
partment of commerce and labor. III
may be assumed that in either case
the governments regulations would
be enforced with watchful care. The
question arises, therefore, whether
anything can be gained by delaying
the work CT outlining the policy TO be
pursued in this important matter.
BY taking time to inquire what
laws regarding radio-telegraphy other
countries have enacted commission
might be enabled 10 obtain useful
hints and to secure the advantage OF
recommending imitation where imi-
tatiOn seems to be desirable. Per
haps ii would be worth while TO give
requirement OF license fee would
be hardship an opportunity more
fully to present their views than
they have done hitherto.
On the other hand. congress may
well ask whether it has not already
waited too long. Germany, England,
and other foreign nations have
statutes relating to the practice. of
the art which Marconi founded. The
United States is almost the only pow
er participating in the International
conference of 1905 which has failed
to ratify the convention adopted on
that occasion. In the meantime the
American governments own interests
have suffered distinctly With the
dispatch and receipt of official mes
s. ges amateurs have long been in the
habit of interfering, and the evil has
gone on from bad TO worse. If such
an embarrassment is possible in time
OF peace, what guarantee is there
that any other government in the
world would have so long tolerated
what is certainly a nuisance. if not
much worse than a nuisance In our
opinion. the longer it waits the more
difficulty will the government find IN
protecting itself. We doubt whether
the number OF amateurs in the coun-
try is anything like $4,000. as has
Teen asserted. but there is prospect
that il will grow steadily if no check
is put on their activities.-New York

 With a split in the ranks of the Democratic party imminent the issue in the state fight will be more of a contest between progressives and those who uphold the ideas of Sen. ator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon.
 Political wiseacres predict the de. feat of one of the standpat Repub- ltoan nominees. Congressman Camp bell of the Third district is the only one of the standpat men who will be returned to congress. Representative Campbell denies he is one of the "old guard" and refuses to announce him. self as an insurgent.
 In only two other instances is it believed likely Republican congress sional nominees will be defeated. These are D. R. Anthony in the First district, standpatter, and l. D. Young of the Sixth, progressive, who is op- posed by F. c. Rockefeller, a cousin of John D. Rockefeller.
