Billy Sunday, The Hypnotist.

j. F. Jersey, Manager Grand Opera
House, Ottumwa, Iowa, protests
against Sundays coming to that town
in the following manner: ssDo you
propose to let "Billy' Sunday come
here and hypnotic Ottumwa? Are
you going to rush to his so-called
tabernacle and hand out your hard
earned money just to hear him say
"Hell' fourteen times in three
seconds, and throw in lot of dirty
adjectives for good measure? Is it
right to ask your grocer, your butcher
and your dry goods merchant to give
you credit, and then pass over your
money to Chilly" Sunday?
Sundays skin flint brand of religion
is money-getter to the sorrow of
many town. Let's make Ottumwa
the exception. Sunday uses his re-
ligion as his method of hypnotizing
people, for he knows that in the heat
of religious fervor people will give up
money when you can't get it from
them in any other way. So he uses
religion.
They say Sunday can do town
good. | believe it, only with emphasis
on "Do". I am a taxpayer in Ottum-
wa. I've worked hard for what I own.
[ don't want Sunday to come here and
hurt my business or that of any other
taxpayer in this city. If he takes
$4,000 or $4,000 out of Ottumwa it
hurts US all, for Sundays kind of
religion is good deal like getting
drunk-it's all right while it lasts, but
it leaves bad taste, headache, and
an empty pocketbook.
There are lot of men in Ottumwa
who feel just as do, but who haven't
the nerve to say so. "Self-preserva-
tion is the first law of nature,' you
know, and the fellow who hasn't
gumption enough to know that and say
so, is the fellow Sunday is looking for
he's the easy money.
Smoky Row. would turn sick if
one OF it's denizens should cut loose
like Sunday does from the platform,
and if the vulgar language he is
brazen enough, to call gospel were
used oa the stage of the Grand Opera
House, I'd get run out of town or sent
to the BOBBY hutch. Make your pro-
test against him now and save your
souls the faint of Sundays shiny
slang that he seeks to turn to gold.

A National Disgrace.
n. Y. independent.

349, ,469 to 1856, 5,522, $40. What pro-
portion OF this doubling up of the
budget has been necessary we do not
undertake to say. Nobody but fool
supposes that very large part of it
has not been the price of stupidity,
jobbery and graft. Yet, with millions
OF dollars to waste, Congress can
never find money enough to pay for
obtaining necessary inform alton about
the nation and its interests, and put
ting it at the disposal of persons who
to analyze and to use it.
We will call attention to one more
instance. In a recent number of
Science Professor Franz Boas has
properly deprecated the loose discus
sion of race intermixture thru our
great and miscellaneous immigration.
He points out that it is quite impossi-
BILE for any one to make true scientific
predictions in these matters because
we have no adequate statistics of in
termarriages of nationality with nat
ionality. Again, the passion and
bitterness that are wasted over the
question of white and negro intermix-
ture lead to nothing, because, with
an unprecedented opportunity for
making invaluable scientific studies
OF the effects, in heredity and other
wise, of such intermixture, we have
not as yet taken the first steps toward
obtaining the necessary statistical
data.
1t is quite true that the decennial
population census should not be load
ed down with SO many inquiries that
no part of the work can be we'll done.
But that is no longer necessary. We
now have a permanent Census Bereau,
organized to carry on continuous
collection, tabulation and publication
OF statistical data. With this equip
ment for the work, there is no excuse
for neglecting to obtain, among other
desirable stores of information, the
following particular which are of
elemental necessity for any real dis
cussion of our social problems, name
ly: ~ A complete table of local
areas; ~ a complete table by units
not larger than town ships of the dis
tribution of our foreign born nationa-
lities; (3) complete record of the in
term carriages of nationalities; (4) a
thorogoing statistical decription of
the colored population.
That we do not already possess this
information is national disgrace.
New Ulm review., 1909-07-21

A statistical investigation which
promised to yield important results
was brought to sudden termination a
few weeks ago, in one of our largest
universities, because it was discovered
that nowhere in the United States OF
America does there exist such a
thing as table or other record OF
the areas of the towns or townships
composing our forty-seven common
wealths. This fact seemed so scan
dalous as to be almost incredible.
To make sure that there was no mis-
take about it, inquiries were sent to
the Geological Survey, to a promi-
nent official of the Census Office, and
to the Secretary of State of every
commonwealth in the union. An
swers were received to all but three or
four of the letters of inquiry. The re-
suit was as had been anticipated.
Not only is this information not to
be had from any authoritative source
for the United States as a whole, but
it is not to be had from any State re-
cords of the States themselves.
We call this state of things scanda-
lous, and it is. Here is an elemen-
tary fact OF our political geography,
essential for hundred statistical in
quiries, if these are to be made more
detailed and thorogoing than crude
comparison of State with State; yet
neither State governments nor the
National Government have had the
sence to provide it. What makes the
neglect more disgraceful, however,
is the circumstance that this particu-
lar fact is indicative of the whole atti-
tude of both State legislatures and
the National Congress toward attempts
to obtain scientific knowledge of the
American population and it's doings.
Congress has never yet acted upon
q census bill without sacrifcing scien-
tific considerations to political job
berry and the personal rascalities of
individual congressman. In fact, if
any one desired to prove the thesis
that members of the National Con-
gress in both the House of Represen-
tatives and the Sen ate since the Civil
War have been generally unfit to
represent an Intelligent people, he
would need only 60 analyze the decen-
nial census bills without bothering
to dig into the rottenness of currency
and tariff legislation.
Since 1881 Congress has increased
the average yearly expenditures of
the Federal Government from $685.
New Ulm review., 1909-07-21

= When woman does mans work
she should receive the pay of man
doing the same work. George T.
Simpson, attorney general, so advised
w. E. McEwen, state labor commits
sioner, in reply to an inquiry as to
the salary to be paid Mrs. Perry
Starkweather, the head of the woman s
bureau, created by the last legisla-
ture. The Legislature did not fix her
salary, but it provided for an assis-
tant labor commissioner for the work.
The salary fixed by law for the for
mer assistant labor commissioner was
l,8OO, so Mr.. Simpson rules that in
ferentially, at least, and in common

trating its practicability. Taking the
trouble to expose Professor Muen-
sterburg's curious contention that
American democracy was derived
from eighteenth century European
philosophy, Mr., Nabuco lays empha-
sis upon the well-known circumstance
that not only were French revolution
ary principles taken from America,
but that also the mind of Jean Jacques
Rousseau was deeply stamped with
New World Impressions.
Without formally including the

contributions to civilization. Mr..
Nabuco incidentally speaks of it as
such. He believes that it has been a
powerful influence in keeping the peace
of the world.
Upon these interesting views of a
keen-minded and gracious observer
we can make no further comment than
to express the hope that they may turn
out to be true. We think that Mr..
Nabuco has come a little nearer to a
true understanding of US than most of
our visitors have done. And yet, in
view of all the things that haven't yet
happened, we are disposed to state
our own predictions in the cautious
language of a certain sagacious Ro-
man citizen: cit doth not yet appear

New Ulm review., 1909-07-21

The other day an interesting COM
mencement address was delivered at
the University of Wisconsin by the
Brazilian Ambassador to the United
States, Joaquin Nabuco. The theme
was, tThe Share of America in Civil
lization," and we dare say that most
readers WHO saw it mentioned in the
newspapers felt certain half-idle
curiosity, perhaps for the first time in
their lives, concerning the ideas that
an intelligent observer from the south
ern American continent might hold on
this subject. We profess to have
ceased to care what Englishmen,
Frenchmen and Germans think about
it. They can't mentally grasp US, it
seems, and, of course, they are too
set in their a priori notions to see us
as we really look. But South Amer
lean is different. His own civiliza-
ton, it stands to reason, is not yet
''effete." He has been brought up
under republican form of govern
ment, and, anyhow, he lives west of
the Atlantic Ocean. He might just
happen to see us from an angle that
offered fairly advantageous and re-
cognizable view.
The possibility is strengthened by
the bias revealed in the Ambassadors S
opening remark. 1t appears that once
in going from Europe to Brazil, Mr..
Nabuco was takea by surprise to hear
a fellow-passenger, the late distin-
guished traveller, William Clifford
Palgrave, ask the captain of the ship
what good had come from the discov-
cry of America. For his part, Mr..
Palgrave could not think of any ori-
ginal American contribution to human
well-being except tobacco. We need
not raise the question whether civili-
zation can be said to have existed
before the invention of cigars. It is
enough to drop the reflection that Mr..
Palgrave revealed his INTEL lectual linz
itations.
Perhaps, however, it is no verse to
be supercilious and circumscribed
than it is to be unduly serious, expan-
sive and naive, as. it must be acknow-
lodged, President Eliot seems to have
been when he propounded the thesis
that, over and above tobacco, Ameri-

sion of material we'll being among the
population. - When we remember
that the diffusion of well-being among
the population has only just been at
tended to by the Senate, and may have
TO linger in conference; that the de-
monstration of the fitness of a great
variety of races for political freedom
remains incomplete; that manhood
suffrage was invented by Frenchmen,
instead OF by Americans; that religi-
Gus toleration began in the Macedon-
ian empire and became European un-
der the imperial rule of Rome; and
that the first prize for the substitution
OF arbitration for war has not vet
been awarded, we can but admire the
gracious courtesy and the diplomatic
language of the Brazilian Ambassa-
dor when he puts his only comment
upon President Eliots dissertation in
to the remark:
~ do not think all the points cl lined
as American contributions by Presi-
dent Eliot will bear in history the
mark-'Made in America y
What, then, if anything, have we
contributed to civiIization-always
bearing in mind, of course, tobacco?
Mr.. Nahuco's answer, if not entirely
convincing, is at least not absurd. It
reveals bit of real thinking on the
subject and is worth thinking about.
In his view, our supreme contribu-
ton to civilization has been our Gre
alton OF unique population and ma
tional type by mixing and assimilat-
ing all nationalities so far that they
speak common language, with all
that this implies of unity of thought
and feeling. This, he reminds US, has
never been done before. For while
the Roman Empire combined many
nationalities in a common political
system, it did not create common
language. This unique population
has been created by immigration, and
that means that it has been ssformed
by self-selection. = It is the Ambas-
sador's opinion, moreover, that it is
our 'ever-changing clinical compo-
sition" that keeps up our individuali-
ty,
Next to the assimilation Of varied
ethnlc elements in a new national type
Ambassador Nabuco believes that our
great contribution to civilization is a
distinctly American kind of demo-
cracy. No one would claim that
America invented democracy, but
doubtless it is true that American life
and conditions have impaired new vi
tally to the democratic idea, and per-
haps have contributed something OF
an experimental sort toward demons
