residents of what is known as the

Vestigate the probable cost.

tin cans and other rubbish which

against all parties who drive across
the city's hose.
The cemetery committee, which
had been authorized to buy more

the Lanier High School, and ended
in the very close score of 27 to &c

ed hard since returning to Macon

THE NUMBER OF INDIANS.

The claim is often made that there
are as many Indians in the United
States now as there ever were. This
seems to lis to be an utter ahsurdity.
1t is, of course, true that the Indian
population in this country never even
family approached the density that the
white population has attained This is
inevitable in the nature of the two
races. The Indians leave the wilds
practically as they find them. They
occupy scantily the wilds without
change, except that some of the tribes
did little farming.
But the idea that there are as many
Indians now as formerly looks absurd,
When we think of the great area east
of the Mississippi river that Indians
used to range over, and where the In
dians could raise formidable fighting
forces in almost any locality. and when
we consider that there are no Indians
at all in those regions now, save a few
on very limited reservations, it would
seem 10 be an axiom that the Indian
race there has practically disappeared.
1t is true also throughout all this west
ern region. with possible exception of
the Piutes in western Nevada.
Noting the enumeration of the In
dian population last year as 100000,
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1911-08-13

the Rochester, IN. " Democrat and
Chronicle says that this indicates an
apparent decrease Of $4,000 compared
with the estimate of 1855: but it quotes
the Red Man, publication devoted to
the interests of the Indian, as of the
much too high, that the aboriginal pop.
ulation has actually increased in the
twenty-five years, and that the con-
dition Of the Indians in the West has
improved greatly within few years
past.
Our New York contemporary, passing
Judgment upon the apparent reversal of
the opinion which prevailed for long
time, that the red man seemed doomed
TO extinction. and noting the claim OF
increased numbers, says, "this is en-
couraging news We do not under
stand, however, how any one can see
anything encouraging in it; for what Is
there valuable in the Indian race to
preserve7 Certainly not physical quail
tiles, for there is nothing equal to the
whites in this respect among the In
dians; not mental qualities. surely, for
in these the red man is far inferior;
nor in moral qualities, certainly, for the
red man has the most rudimentary
ideas of morality. What, then, is there
encouraging in the idea that the Indians
are not dying outa
- H. "a
idea 1t would be encouraging if the
Indians were, indeed, passing away;
for on no ground, economic, physical,
intellectual, moral. or religious, is there
any reason for perpetuating the Indian
race That race is q burden on the
whites as long as it lives; but the
whites have burdens enough Of their
own, without taking up the burden OF
the red brother also. The Indian nat.
urally passes away under civilized con.
ditions. The fact that he cannot exist
in the midst Of civilization, or if ex-
listing at all, not as an Indian but as
assimilating the white man IS civiliza-
ton, reinforces the idea that the sooner
we arc rid Of the typical Indians the
better. There is nothing to gain by
perpetuating Indians as Indians, but
much to gain by being rid of them al
together in their tribal conditions.
Such Indians as become individual citi-
zens, and assimilate with the white
people are, of course, welcome, but the
tribal Indian is q nuisance, burden,
an affliction, and often a menace, the
sooner we are rid of him the better.

DIR. COOK AS A HERO,

It is astonishing to see at times the
infatuation of popular audiences for
the wandering hero of the occasion.
One of the most unlikely heroes that
could be plausibly named for the re-
ceipt of the unbridled enthusiasm of an
American audience is Dr. Cook of North
Pole fakery And yet, according to the
following account. which we find in the
Indianapolis Star of August 9th, Dr..
Cook is the hero of the hour to a Mis-
souri, audience, which it is presumed he
has been able to "show:"

would appear to have been from this

duced rate for raw cotton. The pro
posed revision Of the cotton tariff also
tends to unsettlemeut
Trading in the wool market is
checked by tariff uncertainty, but a
fair business is in progress, and more
confident feeling is noted in the Bos-
ton market than last week. The mar
ket is firm, and there is tendency to
make up values.
The money supply is ample, but it is
little disposed to go into stocks; for
stock prices are weak and easily break
when there is any pressure either to
buy or TO SELL Heavy offerings of
Hartman stocks are reported for the
week, alleged TO be because of the
withdrawal Of Mr., Frick from the di-
rectorate.
On the whole, the situation is hope
ful and encouraging to the expectation
of satisfactory fall trade.
