AMERICAN INDIAN
NOT A DYING RACE
Government Bureau Maintains He Is
as Numerous as When Columbus
Discovered America

Discovered America
Washington, Feb. 3,-Despite popu-
lar belief that the civilization forced
upon him by the white man means
his ultimate extinction the North
American Indian reyiying from 6
long period OF decadence, has shown
such substantial increase in popula-
ton in recent years that he probably
is scarcely less numerous today than
when Columbus discovered America.
Startling as this assertion may be
to those who have pictured Ameri-
can forests in the discoyerers time
as swarming with red men, it is free

ment's Indian Bureau, who maintain
that the Indian necessarily formed an
exceedingly scant population which

thought of as dying race" declar-

support of tina statement 1t is neces
sary in the first place, to disabuse
the public mind of the tradition hand
ed down by dscoverers and early
colonists that American forests in
their day swarmed with the dusky
figure of the red man. As the Indian
neglected agriculture almost com
p'etely, 1t is highly imprc bable thai
this country, considering Its latitude
could have supported more than sew
eral hundred thousand of his race"
On the o.her hand, DR.. White con-
tinued, the Indian in the present day,
after periods OF sharp decrease fol-
lowing as a natural reaction to sud
den contract with the civilization OF
the white man, Is seen to be making
substantial gains in population.
| while many estimates or guesses
! of the Indian population were made
during the past century, said DR.
White, ranging from less than 100
900 to 10000, the first reliable census
was made by the Indian Bureau in
1870, when the population was placed
at 313712. So figures demonstrate
that in the last fifty years the Indian
popu' alton has made substan 'ial
net gain.
Pointing TO statistics which show
an excess of births over deaths of
1922 in 1916 and almost as great an
excess in 1917 normal years which
were no. affected by the epidemic of
influenza, DR.. White declared these
figures fully reflected the generosity
of government that has increased
its Indian health appropriation alone
from $4,000 in 1911 to S350,000 in
1917 and subsequent years. They
demonstrate, he said, that with the
schools. hospitals and other adyant-
ages now provided for him, the Indian
be he tribesman or freedman. is
mot a dying race but rather a -four
ishing one" Had he been treated as
other ma lions have treated savage
tribes DR.. White concluded, there
probably would not be a ''vest'ge of
the race within our republic today"

From the Louisville Courier-Journal. ,6H1o BE President of the United States II is to be criminal That is a
 = theory that was advanced in these
 columns some weeks ago. One test of
 the theory is the character of the pres ent incumbent of the White House. The
 medium by which thes test is applied is George Sylvester yereck, who writes in The American Monthly-save the mark
 for December an indictment called The
 Stepfather, of Our Country
 Woodrow Wilson's criminality is
 charged in many counts A betrayer of trusts he is, terrorist at home, bloody
 tyrant abroad. a prosecutor of foreign
 born Americans. an indecent trucker to
 Downing street, a denier of American
 ism and habitua1 ,violator of the Amer
 ican constitution.
 The stench of his shipping board. the corruption of his airplane construction,
 the extravagance of his administration, state department, the murder of inno- cent natives in Haiti and San Domingo by his (sic) marines convict him of fel- ony and arch-treason.
 For coloring and literary and historical compaeison he is d Greek paricide who has reaped the inevitable, memorable conseauences of his execrable offense which is, of course. being President of line United States. He is Judas. Judas betrayed his master with kiss; Wilson betrayed the world with words. He is a greater Muenchausen. He is mentally dishonest and morally unworthy. He Is a shiftless schoolmaster. sanctimoni- ous prevaricator, willy charlatan. He lis the cheater cheated, the bitter bitten He gave us vinegar for our thirst, poured I salt into our wounds and wrecked be- lyond salvage the golden hopes of gooo
 faith among nations
 The righteous phrases of condemnation are plucked bodily from Mir. Viereck'' article. The sworld has now been told of the purple villany of the horribl' monster who has sat in the White House
 as the Pres dent of the United States fol eight long years. When he entered it I ilel3 he was MT. Wilson formerly presi ident of Princeton university and gcvcr.

Has Never Traveied

My father has never travelled out side the county in which he was born and reared, raised his family and is now comfortably enjoying his old age said J. l. McCants. He has never travelled simply because he does not care to do so He is well read and has been a part and parcel of the old South Carolina family traditions. About three times a year he leaves his plan tation and hikes as far as the county site, Charleston, spends a day or so there and, that being travel sufficient for the next quarter, he returns home and lives another three months with his books, his newspapers, his horses and the duties of a planter. l visit the home place several times year, but 1 have never been able to induce father to visit me here. He is T years of age, hale and hearty and enjoys life. but life to him bears no sweetness that is not within the borders of his native county

THE CRIME OF BEING PRESIDENT

mtted to live down the stigma
 Woodrow Wilson seems to be the ex- man. yet Mr. Viereck, not content with the credit for delivering 6,000,0o0 German votes in bloc to Mir. Wilson's successor, continues to run the p3niard through.
 There is an old tale of man who wanted to be king His wish was grant ed on the promise that after he had reigned a stated length of time he would
 forfeit his life. He accepted thei crown and the scepter under those conditions, and at the proper time laid his head upon the block.
 His psychological process was simpe. For a wh:ie, at lea si ne was the greatest parsonage in the state, respected and ad-
 mired and enved Af,er that, nothing nattered. And one speaks softly of tho dead. Perhaps the appetite of such man as MT. Vierecll would be satiated if the suc- cessful candidate for the presidency, con- scious of his criminal act in accepting
 the office, would promise to expiate tho crime after four years by giving his life to his peers.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Car Signs

Cars are not going to the barn ev- cry time they carry the sign Barn. said T. G. Brabston, superintendent of transportation of the Birmingham
 Railway Light and Power company, yesterday.
 Tt has been the custom in the past
 for cars to carry this sign when they had lost out on their schedule. Ere quently car is so delayed at rail- , road crossing through a congestion of traffic in the business section or for some other reason that it gets con siderably behind it's schedule. It is , then that the barn sign is erected, so that no new passenger will be taken
 on as the car will turn back at some switch or point before reaching the end of the line.
 We have had some criticism be- cause of these signs appearing during
 the rush hours and many people nat urally thought that we were taking cars off, but that was a mistake. NO cars are ever taken off during the rush hours unless they are disabled and then another good car is rushed out to take its place. In the future cars
 which have lost their place in the schedule will carry a sign which reads Special, thus avoiding the misunder- standing"
