Not a Vanishing Race

1t mas frequently been pointed out that
the degeneration of the American Indian
has ceased, and that he is now on the
upward path. The white mans frewater,
the white mans gunpowder and the white
mans diseases played havoc with the In
dian for many generations, says the
Clevel~nd Plain Dealer. He was well ad-
vanced on the road to determination
when a new conscience was stirred to ac-
ton in the white man, and the red man
was given a fair chance to show him.
self worthy of continued existence.
The Indians have proved to be a supe-
rior type of aborigines. Oppressed,
cheated, slaughtered, they have endured
In spite of the white mans cruelty OF past
centuries and In spite of the far more
deadly peril of the white mans evil habits
and concentrating vices.
There have been three stages in the
history of the Indians since the coming
of the Europeans. First was the long
period Of oppression and attempted ex-
termination. This lasted throughout the
colonial period, and through the early
years of the republic. 1t was followed
by period of exploitation. during which
practically the sole effort was to rob and
cheat the primitive people, who had come
to be recognized as a charge of the gov
ernment. This period has now given
place to period of helpfulness and earn
est effort " Dtltti Tic lOt VI tlc InoldHS
One of the chief factors in establishing
this third era is the example of the In
dams themselves who have been given
the opportunities of civilization and who
have, in Ii rge numbers, taken full ad-
vantage of them
1t is estimated that there are at pres
ent 266,000 Indians in the United States
1t seems like a small number, but those
who have made the closest study of the
early reports and who have drawn the
shrewdest deductions declare there were
not more than 100000 aborigines within
the present limits of the United State,
when Columbus made his first voyage Of
discovery.
So it appears that the score between
the white man and the Indian is about
even. Scientific and honest effort in re.
cent years has seemingly repaired the
damage done during the preceding cen.
turtles of contact.

The Erie Canal
good deal of discussion has informal
ly taken place recently respecting the ef-
feet of the enlarged and improved Erie
canal upon commerce and transportation
through Canada. Win the Erie canal
serve TO divert commerce from the Cana
dian canals waterways and railways or
prevent the diversion of traffic which
might otherwise go through the United
States to Canadian lines?
The best opinion seems to be that while
the Erie canal may offset a tendency.
noticed in recent years, to utilize the
Canadian waterways for the transporta-
ton of commodities produced in the north
west or the remote northwest, yet the
development of British North America
and that vast region which is some
times spoken of as the New Canada
VIII furnish the Canadian waterways all
of the business they can conveniently
handle. Some of the best judges say that
there should not be competition or at least
cut-throat competition, but instead some
thing like cooperation, or at least fra
ternal spirit between the two great artiii-
cial waterways of the North American
continent which connect the great lakes
with ocean ports. :,
All of these new canals and the Panama
canal are unquestionaby to exert a great
influence on American commerce. That,
at least, is the opinion of those who have
studied the relation of our commerce to
the new canals. But it is observed in con-
versation with these men that their ideas
are somewhat vague about the character
and direction of the commerce which will
be influenced by these canals. AS good
an authority as Frank Trumbull chair-
man of the board of directors of the
and Ohio Railroad company,
is in great doubt about the utilization of
the Panama canal by the commercial ma
tions of Europe to any extent. excepting
possibly with the west coast of South
America.
Whatever may be the commercial influ-
ence consequent upon the opening of four
waterways to navigation the fact that
these artificial navigable waters will be
in the year 1914 is of itself
enough to authorize the designation of
that date as the great American canal
year.

OF these canals the one now under con

yards bay with Massachusetts bay is the
only one which represents the investment
OF private capital. August Belmont-who
Nentured millions when even the Wander
ollts and other men of large capital de-

demonstrated the adaptability of the sub

state and nation and individuals and cor

snip canal at that point and then had de-
cllned either to undertake or to complete
the proposition. 1t has been common re-
port in New York that Mr.. Belmont real
lied about $5,000.000 as his share in pro-
noting the subway rapid transit system.

money which he was compelled to advance
IN order to give guarantee to the city
