and our welfare and self respect
demands that gambling be abolished
now We ask you to honor your
selves and the state by doing It at
once.
am glad that with but few ex-
ceptions the voters of this community
whom | have been able to see, have
signed that petition. | am glad that
this little city has done this. You
are now in the making, and now is
the time for the creating of public
sentiment that is going to work for
the moral and material welfare of
this place. There can be no desir-
able growth or prosperity. without
a strong moral foundation upon
which the whole superstructure is
going to rest. Give us railways, shops
and shelters. give us schools and
churches, and happy households. But
above everything else, give us a
clean public conscience. | rejoice
with an exceeding great joy, that a
majority of the electors living in
East Ely have expressed the opinion
In this petition that gambling ought
to have no place in their midst.

purely political geography. history
has found a valuable assistant.
Photography and topography are
as essential 10 the understanding of
the migration of a people in time of
peace as to the movement of an army
in time of war The character of the
soil and the direction of the flow of
streams are underlying factors in
many episodes of American history:
thus We are gradually coming to ap-
preciate that nearly every revolt or
disturbance of the public peace out
side of cities was due to topography
and to the determinatiye influence of
soil aud crops is attracting and as
sembling settlers of various races.
THE black belt is now compre-
hended in Its economical effect upon
slavery and southern politics as thor
oughly as the shifting of the rain
zone over the semi-arid regions of
the west is related to the rise and
growth of populism. The effect of
the war of 1912 on the opening Of
the northwest of that day is a matter
of photography as is the construc-
ton of the Erie canal along the only
possible pathway between the At
lantic and the midwest, viz. around
the northern end of the Appalachian
mountains.
Especially do topography and
photography play important parts In
the drama of war. Aside from being
largely the cause of the civil war,
the character of tie soil. the direction
of the navigable rveirs, and the re-
sulting presence or absence of rail-
ways were determinatiye factors in
that struggle. Therefore the true
history of the conflict is not alone a
study of the campaigns, but a COM
prehension of the geography of the
southern states. their natural feat
ures and resources; in its larger in
dustrial and economic aspects the
triumphs and failures of the confed-
eracy must be approached from the
viewpoint of geography. If the long
established north and south CONNER
cial tie of the Mississippi had not
been nuulified by east and west
trunk lines of railways before 1860,
the outcome of the unfortunate con-
test might have been far different.
1t is not small matter of congratula-
ton that the underlying subject of
geography is coming to be more and
more part of the discussions of the
American Historical association.
