ARE AMERICANS pYsPEPTIci
What a Prominent English Physician
Says Of Our DweIlers In Cities

What a Prominent English Physician
Says Of Our DweIlers in Citiea
A prominent English physician has re-
Gently proved, TO his own satisfaction at
least. that the dwellers I'm American cities
are generally neurotics and dyspeptics.
First Of all, he says. the Puritans who
emigrated to New England were eharac-
terized by a neurotic temperament, for
Puritanism was largely disease Of the
hillary duct And 80 ever since It has
been the neurotic member Of the English
family who has grown dissatisfied with
the conditions Of life in the old country,
and has emigrated either to Australia or
America On the other hand, the beef
eating squire type Of Englishman, being
content with things as they are, has
stayed at home.
But this is not all. The climate and the
peculiar conditions Of life that exist in
this country have developed and intensi-
fed this original neurotic type, until it
may now be fairly called the American
type and is indeed so recognized through
out Europe. This type exists in its most
| perfect form in the larger American cities.
| For IL Is the neurotic member Of the
| family who is most inclined to ''kick"
against the monotonous life of the coun-
| try. All such men drift into cities, where
they can find an outlet for their energetic
and often splenetic unrest. In their case
also the neurotic tendency is increased by
their environment. They become small In
physique, and, as n rule, are chronic dys-
peptics. Their children are apt to sue
cumb to the maladies OF childhood The
men are kind and indulgent to their fami-
lies, but irritable. The women are bright,
quick witted, spirituelle, but restless
They are fond Of living gregarious lives
and spend large portion of their time in
relating to each other the evidences of
their physical weakness. And so in three
generations at most these highly devel-
oped but diseased men and women die
out, literally consumed by the fire Of their
own abnormal vitality.
Doubtless the congratulations Of this
English physician are too sweeping It lis
not true that only the men Of neurotic
or nervous temperament come from the
country into American cities. Indeed, It
is quite the other way The vitality of
our cities is steadily replenished by the
thousands Of strong limbed and clear
headed country boys, who are constantly
pouring into them, and whose nerves of
steel enable them to withstand the terrible
strain OF city life for years. But II is
undoubtedly true that our cities do tend
to produce r highly nervous type OF mnn
and woman, with no stomach to speak Of
and a much impaired liver. But with the
Increase Of wealth ana luxury this type
will doubtless disappear. Even now the
lean, dyspeptic American, with hungry
look Of conquest in his eyes, is rapidly Civ
ing place 70 the jolly, well fed easy coinf;
American, who, having conquered fate
and destiny, can afford TO take life MS it
comes with all the good natured calmness
of an cpicurean philosopher York
Tribune.

unjust this is is shown by the follow
ing incident. This writer visiting
one Of our city photograph galleries,
made the natural inquiry, "How's
trader" The proprietor said he was
busy taking pictures for the
Chemawa pupils. "They are very
mad at the Statesman" he added,
"for its abuse Of Col. Lee. They all
speak we'll Of him" This fact also
is attested by the letters published,
in crude phraseology expressing
their regard for their principal and
Indignantly denying the vague
charges deagainst him.
1t all springs from blind partisan
spite. Col. Lee is a democrat and
an appointee Of a democratic ad-
ministration. This fact seems to
Justify to our cotem. his malicious
endeavor to break down a useful
public officer and disorganize his
school. "Party," " says an old English
proverb, " is the madness Of many
for the gain of a few"

"Col." Lee, supernumerary OF the
ChemawA Indian training school,
has returned from Ellensburg, Curry
county, where he raked up fifteen
more or less Indian girls and boys,
legitimate SONS and daughters Of
various men In that county. Not
one Of these belonging TO an Indian
reservation. Witness what desperate
straits the "Col." must be In for
bOardcrs at the institution. Next
year IL is expected, If "Col." Lee
stays there, only white children
need apply. These fifteen don't
need the sort of "education" they
will receive at the Indian school at
