EUSTANE MICHAUD, writing in the
VI Century for November asks, and
answers-to his own satisfaction--the
question: Where are the most intenec-
tual people OF our eountry-those who
yield the highest percentage Of abiIity?'
Mr.. Michaud presents a map which
shows at a glance just where the brains
and talent and culture are. Naturally,
that interests US. and it Will interest
YOU
For example, according TO Mr..
Michaud. only five out of every 100000
persons born in Utah are talented. If
it were true that the entire present
population of the state were born here,
on a basis of 100000, this would give
Utah just fifteen talented persons. That
rather takes some Of the pride out of
us. But we look at other states. at
Wyoming and North and South Dako-
ia, for example The map shows. and
the map must be right, that there isn't
a single talented Individual in any Of
AAoSC DlOuu COllAiltOAAA tdlLAlSs
New Mexico. Nebraska and Colorado
have only one to each 100000 popula-
ton. Kansas. Minnesota and Texas
have two each, and Idaho, Montana,
Arkansas and Indian Territory three
each. Massachusetts-we wonder if
Mr.. Michaud lives in Massachusetts,
heads the list with sixty-two per 1O0,-
00o, New England, if Mr.. Michaud is
to be believed. has more talented men
and women than all the rest of the
country put together. At least three
geniuses are born in New England for
every one born in the rest of the ma
ton.
How has Mr.. Michaud reached his
figures? Let him explain. He says;
ITO find out the fraction representing
the degree of intellectually for each
state. l have taken for the numerator
the number Of persons born in that
state, living in 1900, included in di-
rectory of persons prominent in public
life, the arts. sciences and literary pur-
suits. and for the denOminator the to-
tai number Of persons born in the same
state and living in the United States in
1900" Now do you understand how he
did it?
Mr. Michaud. for reasons that are OBJ
viOus, does not publish the list Of tai
ented persons. For one thing it would
be too long in some localities and too
short in others. Fancy COMPRISING
the intellect of Utah in fifteen heads.
Why, the people would not stand for it
for a moment. As it is, each and
every one of us can imagine that we
belong to the select company. Thus no.
body's feelings are hurt and Mr. Mi
chaud. If he comes to Utah, viii escape
with his life.

DOLITICS IN DELAWARE in the
L campaign just ended was not any
cleaner than in the other years since
Addicks descended upon that state. In
letter to the Philadelphia Record B..
J. Salvage of Lewes, Del, says:
"A colored man who has worked for
US a good deal made this report to me
Of his own volition: Mr.. =, who is now
in office in Dover, came to me and said:
Il want you to vote for me-" "Wen. -
said I. "hOw much viii you give me?"
Come with me-" ne said. I went into
his room. "Sit down" 1 did so. There
was whisky on the table Have a
drink he said. NO. said 1. Il want
the money or 1 sha'n't vote at ALL"
Wen, how much do you want?" he
said. Eighteen dollars" told him.
That's too much" he said. "I'H give
you fifteen" NO" 1 said. 'I sha'n't
take less than eighteen" well. I'll
give you eighteen. Here's the money
He paid me and I voted for him, and
AiN > ONttA III NN q SAlANNs Ols DuL tell
you, sir, he's the colored mans friend
"One of the sad features about the
whole thing is that this man. who is a
good worker, and whom I never heard
a wrong word from, seemed to see
nothing at about of the way about it.
1t is a sample of the debauched condi-
ton of the colored voters. And plenty
of whites are blacker still"
Immediately after the election word
was teIegraphed around the country
that Addicks had elected enough men,
bers of the legislature to insure his
election to the senate. 1t was further
stated that the great Republican ma
jority in Delaware was made possible
by a compact between President Roose-
welt and Addicks. II is common knowl-
/ edge that Roosevelt and Addicks are
friendly and that the latter did all he
could to forward Mr.. Roosevelts cam
paign.
There is little doubt that, If Addicks
is elected. reeking though his election
may be with fraud and corruption, he
viii take his seat without a contest OF

who. by favor of President Roosevelt
/ distributed the federal patronage in
I Delaware, is still the friend Of the

that the Roosevelt influence will be
