INDIANS GAIN
in POPULATION
WHITE MANS WAYS HAVE BEEN
ACQUIRED AND RED TRIBES
ARE INCREASING IN STRENGTH.

| Washington, Fep. 5-Despite popular
belief that the civilization forced upon
him by the white man means his ulti-
mate extinction, the North American
Indian, reyiving from a long period of
decadence, has shown such substantial
increase in population in recent years
that he probably is scarcely less nu-
merous today than when Columbus
discovered America.
Starting as this assertion may be to
those who have pictured American
forests in the discoverers time as
| swarming with red men, it is freely
advanced by experts of the govern
ment's Indian bureau, who maintain
that the Indian necessarily formed an
exceedingly scant population which
| probably at no period materially ex-
ceeded the total of 333,702 Indians
reported by the bureau for last year
The Indian no longer is to be
thought of as a dying race" declared
DR.. Lawrence w. White, an Indian au-
thority Of the bureau. 'In support of
that statement it is necessary, in the
first place to disabuse the public mind
Of the tradition handed down by dis
coverers and early colonists that
American forests in their day swarm
ed with the dusky figure of the red
man. AS the Indian neglected agricul-
ture almost completely, it is highly
improbable that this country, consider
ing it's latitude, could have supported
more than several hundred thousand
| of his race"
"On the other hand" DR.. White con-
| tinued, "the Indian in the present day,
after periods of sharp decrease follow
! ing as a natural reaction to sudden
L ~. - 10
white man, is seen to be making sub
| stantial gains in population.
while many estimates or guesses
OF the Indian population We're made
during the past century," said DIR.
White, ranging from less than 100000
to 400, 900, the first reliable census was
made by the Indian bureau in 1870.
| when the population was placed at
I313,712 So figures demonstrate that
in the last fifty years the Indian pop
ulation has made a, substantial net
gain.
Pointing to statistics which show an
excess of births over deaths of 1,522
| in 1916 and almost as great an ex-
| cess in 1917, normal years which were
not affected by the epidemic of influ-
enza, DR. White declared these figures
fully reflected the generosity of a
government that has increased its In
dian health appropriation alone from
$4,000 in 1911 to s35o,o00 in 1917 and
subsequent years. They demon
strate, he said, that with the schools,
hospitals and other advantages now
provided for him, the Indian, be he
| tribesman or free man, is mot a dying
race but rather flourishing one" Had
he been treated as other nations have
| treated savage tribes, DR.. White con-
| cluded, there probably would be a
'vestige OF the race within our repub-
I lic today"

They cannot It is too big. And it means too
much to Pensacola. If you do not think that it

every organizatio min Pensacola. and many in West
Florida. these organizations and business send
ing hundreds of representatives to Tallahassee and
Jacksonville, to put this thing over.
If you don't believe in the centennial and want
to try to kill it, why did you not try to kill it
while everybody was for it?
Let every man put up his hammer send the
centennial committee for Washington, and then, if
that committee fails in its mission, it will be time
enough to cry quits. But that committee will not
fail, if it goes to the capital Of the nation with
the same spirit and the same faith that took it
to the capital of the state and the stronghold of
those forces which sought to destroy it.

Florida Press Opinion
Don't Throw Away the Ships.

Don't Throw Away the Ships.
In a speech in New York Secretary Alexander ad-
vocated the saleof government owned shipping to
private interests. We would very much regret to
see such decision reached without reservations 1t
would the sacrifice of the vessels the govern
ment and has paid for out of the money Of
the people.
We opposed to the operation of transportation
lines by the government either on land water.
We are especially opposed to its operation of the
railroads for the who have built the railroads
own them have a right to operate them and can
operate them much advantageously than the
government can-more advantageously for the peo-
ple The government has made botch of oper-
ating the railroads and has done poorly in this
respect that the suspicion is justified that it would
not manage steamship lines efficiently they
would be managed BY private owners
But while the railroads were paid for by ndivid-
uals and are their property. the steamships in
question were paid for by the government and are
its property. The government would not be wrong
ing anyone by operating its vessels but would
be Wronging the people whose money paid for them
by turning them at inadequate price to
individuals. An adequate price would be cost price
not cent less.
But these vessels built at time when the
cost of construction higher than ever before
in the histody of the world Remember also that
they would be operated at time when the profits
or operating them would be greater than ever be-
fore in the history Of the world. The supply Of
ships is inadequate. The merchant navies of Eng
land, France Germany, Austria, Italy and other
countries have been greatly reduced There are not
enough vessels now to meet the pressing needs of
the world and freights high. The higher
freights that will continue higher for a number of
years, more than compensate for the higher cost
OF construction. and it would pay any steamship
line to pay twice much no wfor ship as it paid
five or six years ago.
1t may be said that vessels be constructed now
for less tina nthe shipping board paid for them
Possibly SO, but VINO knows when they would be
delivered? The vessels owned by the United
States would be ready for immediate delivery and
could earn very large part of their costs before
vessels ordered from ship yards could be
finished and delivered It would pay better to give
million dollars for ship for immediate delivery
than three-quarters Of million for one to be
delivered six months hence
But If it is decided to sell the ships they will be
sacrificed There would be no competition in bid
ding and they would go for a song. Easy terms
might be granted but there should he no conces-
sion in the prce-Jacksonville Times Union
