Indians Dying Rapidly.

A surgeon from the marine hospital
service, has returned To Washington
from southern Alaska where he was
sent On a special detail to make a sur
vey of health conditions. He reports
that no Indians viii be left in Alaska
in two or three generations. unless the
government takes vigorous measures
to check disease among them. He
says.
owing to the usual lack of vital
statistics in a pioneer country such as
this, the exact facts on which to base
an opinion have never been available
and most of the statements have been
mere conjecture. At Sitka accurate
records have been kept by the church
es, and they show that for period of
five years and seven months the an
nual birth rate has been 12.3 per thou
sand and the annual death rate S5.4
per thousand. During this period,
| with an estimated population of 400
there were % more deaths than births
The returns OF the United States
| Census Bureau SHOW that in the last
/ ~ NtIlS liitft Itdo tcti Il ttftthot IA
| the total Indian population approx
mately equal To IA per cent, or 112 per
cent. per year. This corresponds very
| closely to the rates as figured at Sitka
| and they may be taken as indicating
| fairly correctly the rates for the whole
| country. The death rate in the Unit
| ed states varies from ! or $ per thou
sand to So per thousand, depending
| upon the locality. An average death
| rate may be placed at > to % per thou
| sand.
THE very unusual mortality in
! Alaska J.. e.. S5.4 per thousand is to
be attributed largely to pulmonary tu-
| berculosis, and unless it is checked in
| some way it will result in the eX-
| tinction of the natives in so or 10
| years Fortunately, it is eounteracted
| to a certain extent by an unusually
| large birth rate but the birth rate will
| probably decrease as time goes on"
one Of the difficulties encountered in
| treating these Indians is their ire
| sponsiblitv. They cannot be trusted
| with drugs. If they like it they take
| AL at once: if they do not like the
medicine they stop as soon as the
physician IS out of sight. 1t would
seem that only by hospital or sana-
| forum treatment, under the watchful
care of attendants could any Roadway
be made against the diseases which
are now most prevalent. The white
man has carried much that is bad to
them and is. thus far, unable to coun-
teract his evil contact. These simple
people cannot Withstand, With their
| own filthy habits and evil customs

are dark and tricks that are vain

the dilly-dallying methods of few
politicians who are attempting 10 make
splurgc before the country as money
savers for the nation, to prevent this
country from moving on in its patriotic
and progressive way?
The praters are ever busy with the

We believe that an overwhelming ma
iority of the people of this country, OF
all ages, sexes and nations, desire the
maintenance al such an armament as
will guarantee safety from any fool
hardy attack by an ambitious power,
The very cost OF beating off such an
enemy would perhaps necessitate the
expense of a dozen navies and thou
sands of American lives.
Until such times as a world euaran-
tee has been reached that war is I'M
possible, let America stand well to
the front as naval power. Those
who are yelling loudest about econ
omy" are the ones who are playing
politics night and day. The assertion
OF Secretary Meyer before the House
naval affairs committee that Japan
i'm 1916 will nave wrested the position
of third naval power from the United
states and that this country will have
difficulty in maintaining itself in fourth
place unless two battleships are au-
thorized each year should give pause
to those who are trying TO effect econ
omies at the expense of the navy.
Patriotism is a winner every time.
and when it comes TO a clash with
economy. the latter goes down. Demo
Gratis in Congress who are losing sight
of this truth will realize their mistake

the dropping of this nation to fourth
place IS a naval power because of q
restricted naval plan, some ne must
answer for the blunder.

Editorial Comment.
An Arctic Paradise.
Boston Post.

ApOCNpii L ISL
Recent reports from the hydrosra-
phie office at Washington, intimating
a change in the climate of Alaska,
lack entire confirmation, while at the
same time they have not been formal
Il contradicted. The wearing of straw
hats and linen busters in that region
during a season in which zero wealth
er has prevailed in the temperate zone
must be regarded as remarkable to
the verge of incredibility. The hydro
graphers attribute the alleged pheno-
menon to u shifting of the course Of
the warm Japanese current toward
and upon the Alaskan coast, due to re-
cent earthquake disturbances in the
Alentian archipelago.
Were such conditions to become per-
manent, we might be able TO add am
other to Our recently acquired tropi-
cal possessions in a peculiarly avail
able location. 1t would be simply a
reyersion to the state of things per-
vailing millions of ages ago. Before
man came upon this continent, herds
of mammoth and mastodon grazed
upon Verdant meadows there. The
subsequent freezing of the boys in
which some of them became mired has
preserved their carcasses TO this day.
The immense deposits of coal there,
which are now being exploited with
more or less scandal, We're formed
from centuries Of luxuriant vegetable
growth.
Who shall say that there shall be no
return Of past conditions? That what
has happened once shall not happen
again? That winter excursions to the
Yukon valley shall not take the place
of trips to Palm Beach or Bermuda?
