DIR INDIAN POPULATION.
In Present Census Government Maas
Effort Toward Full Data.

In the present census the govern
ment has made a special effort 10 op-
tain. through twenty special agents
full and authentic data regarding the
tribal relations of the Indians. III view
of the fact that when. decade hence
the fourteenth census is taken. it VIII
probably be found that those Indians
who are at present the dependent
wards of the nation have become full
fledged citizens.
The Indian population of the unlted
States decreased 2.5 per cent. in the
decade from 1890 to 1900. or from
273. GOT to 266. 760. In 1890 the Indians
comprised four-tenths of l per cent. OF
the entire population of this country.
and in 1900 the percentage had dl-
mnished to three tenths In 1900 the
care of the Indians cost the national
government $5.206.109: in 1909 the cost
had risen to SIS 724,162. more than
three times as much.
The total attendance of Indian chill
dren in schools conducted by the gov
eminent or by missionary enterprise
is 25,777. In these schools no effort
is spared to teach the Indian child
some industry by which he may sup
port himself when he comes of age
as in the Mount Pleasant School in
Michigan, where the cultivation of the
sugar beet is taught. or in California.
where instruction is given in the prin
ciples and practice of fruit growing
The Indians are gradually learning to
live by the sweat of the brow upon
the product of their own self-respect-
ing handiwork. rather than upon the
bounty of the government.
The Apache Indians employed on the
Roosevelt reclamation project under
the act of June II. 1902 earned $4,000
in 1909. and rendered eminently salts
factory service in regions where. on
account Of the heat, white man could
not have labored. Sheep herding has
given profitable employment to many
hundreds of Navajos and Pueblos i'm
the past year. and Pima and Papago
Indians. employed as navvies on the
Southern Pacific Railway. earned
many thousands of dollars The
Sioux farmers have done well. though
they are deficient in the quality of per-
sstent patience that makes the most
successful sort of agricultural laborer.
The Indians worst foe at present.
aside from whisky. is tuberculosis.
The investigation by the Smithsonian
Institution in 1909 showed that about
one in four or some 1900 Indians who
were examined were suffering from
what has hitherto been known as the
white plague" Sanatorium camps
have now been established. and the ex-
tent of the governments watchfu
anxiety for it's wards is shown bv tho
fact that in some of the schools the
boys have been temporarily forbidden
to use the wind Instruments in the
school bands, lest the bacilli Of tuber-
culosis be thereby disseminated. Since
the day when Cotton Mather called the
savages the imps of the evil one, truly
there has been wrought a wonderful
change in the attitude of the American
paleface toward his brother. the red

nouncement from Baton Rouge, La, that
the state board of health Is determined
to put stop to the importation or New
York babies for distribution in that
state. because of the danger to the com
munity from accepting Infants OF whose
ancestry nothing Is known. The heaith
officers of the State are not among those
who believe that almost any tendency IN
a child may be eradicated by proper
training, and the superintendent or the
State insane asylum says:
."rbe deposjt of these helpless little
creatures, coming possibly from tainted
progenitors. in our midst Is simply plant
ms the seed of greater degeneration,
more detectives. idiots. imbeciles. and
alcoholics. and tends to decentralization
and heartaches in homes where the ba-
bies are located"
If the danger is as great as the Lou
isiana authorities appear to believe, the
State Is entirely justified i'm the stand ii
has taken, just as surely as this country
is justified in keeping from its shores
those who are not both reasonably bright
and reasonably healthy; but It is to be
toped that the situation Is not SO grave
as the superintendent of the insane asy-
Ium supposes. 1t seems possible that
Southern conservatism, aptly character
lied in the remark of Georgian clergy
man that the children of the newcomer
there might hope to be accepted in the
lest set if they proved themselves de-
serving of the honor, has stood SO
straight that it leans backward.
Many of New York's uncared-for chill
dren, transplanted to other states I'M
der favorable conditions. have not only
been credit to their foster parents
but have served their fellow-men with
more than ordinary success. We be
lieve that the records of the societies
responsible for the placing of these
children contain ample evidence t.
prove it least that whatever danger
exists is greatly exaggerated. and thai
to deprive childlesS homes of the chill
dren which have in so many instances
been warmly welcomed by prospective
foster parents is not only entirely un-
necessary, but contrary to the best in
terests of both the childless adults and
the parentleSs infants. The need of the
work thus being done is so great thai
Jouisiana'S verdict should not be &C
copied without better evidence to back
it up New York Tribune.

throughout his Grammar school course
and in the Boston College Prep. He
made good at Holy Cross. having de-
feated all the big colleges. and was
touted as one of the best college pitch
ers in the country. Foley is but Il

Why did Comiskey release Pitcher
Bill Burns? Why did the other Ameri-
can League clubs waive claim to a
pitcher who has won all of his six
games in the National League" Those
are two questions that are being fired
at the sporting editor these days. The
reason is this: Mr.. William Burns is a
good pitcher but he is said to be one
of those individuals who believes him
self a privileged character. He has
wealthy parents and really does not
have to work for living. Consequent
", he could not see any use in partic-
ipatng in morning practice. That set
tied him for Comiskey. "Commy" is
a great believer in discipline and he
could not allow Burns to shirk the
morning sessions and require the 9TH
ers to be present. AS a result he al
lowed the good left-hander to go to
Cincinnati, where perhaps. they do
not have morning practice.
