RED MAN'S TRIUE INCREASING.
The misanthropic author of the' epigram, '"The masses
nre always wronjr," is .sometimes confirmed by events of
tha days, if he employed the word "masses" in the sense,
of popular belief.
For decades and for some reason, now unknown, the
jiublic has1 been under the impression that the American
Indian has been rapidly approaching extinction as a race.
Terhaps the average person, if examined on the subject,
would express the belief that it is only u mutter of a few
generations before the last full-blooded Indian will have
trone to his fathers.
It must have been with nmnzement coupled with in
credulity that many received the census bureau's announce
ment of an increase of 2,fi93 in.tho country's Indian popu
lation during, the year ended Juno 30. But one is puzzled
even more by census figures showing a gain of 18,976 in
the Indian population in the last twelve years, that there
lire 120,1(13 Indians In the state of Oklahoma and that
there are now 0,13!) Indians living in Now York state.
'. Iiettcr living conditions, economic prosperity and the
beneficial effects of civilizing influences prolnibly account
for-the growing Indian population. That the race has
survived to this time is remarkable, although there now
seems to be no valid reason why it should not multiply.
The red man is no longer made the target for the white
man's rifle and many tribes have become fabulously weal
thy from oil discovered on the Oklahoma lands the white
man's government believed barren and worthless and there
fore set aside as reservations for native Americans.
