The Ancient Population of New
Mexico.

In his article on American Ar
chaeology in Harper's for January,
DR.. Ellsworth Huntington of Yale
discusses the interesting question as
to whether our Southern States were
ever densely populated.
"HOW long we're the ruins of the
Southwest Inhabited? and, How dense
was the population in ancient times?
Some Of the best archaeologists have
strongly insisted that appearances
are deceitful. The hundreds, and
indeed thousands of sites of ancient
villages in Colorado, the Texas Pan
handle, Utah, New Mexico, and Arr
IONA, as we'll as in similar parts of
northern Mexico, were not all in
habited at one time, SO they tell us.
Most represent mere temporary stop
ping places where migratory bands
OF people supposed to have been the
ancestors of the Indians settled for
a few years and then moved on. At
the outside limit, so say these ar
chaeologists, the entire population
never amounted to more than a few
score thousands, whose civilization
was Of the lowest and most insight
ACdnI " pc. OIA0f SJuQ0DLS, newer
in number than the orthodox school,
hold that the majority of the ruins
were all occupied at the same time
and for century after century, They
say that the population Of the arid
Southwest must have amounted to
many hundred housands-decided-
ly more in all probability than the
country supports today. Further
more, if this were so, although the
type of civilization may have been
most primitive compared with ours,
yet it was by no means SO low as
that Of the modern Indians. It must
have been Of the same grade as that
of early Babylonia, Egypt, Palestine,
Or Greece before the art of writing
was invented. People who could
dwell peacefully for centuries in
large, permanent communities, and
could build great communal houses
and long systems Of canals, were by
no means untutored sayages. Civil
order and submission to the will of

passed, represents S7.9 per cent of all
the marriages taking place in 1887
which are destined ultimately to ter
inmate in divorce. On this reckoning
We may estimate that 40,215 of those
marriages celebrated in that year of
1887 will in the end be thus dis
solved. If we deduct 25 of the num-
berthe per cent of those marriages
which were celebrated in foreign
countries-we still have 1920 left,
which were celebrated in foreign
courts. Now, the total number OF
recorded marriages in the United
States in 1887 was $4,000. Dividing
this number into the number ulti-
mately to be dissolved by divorce, we
have as a result 81 per cent.
The fact that so little of late years
has been done to check this modern
Moloch of social decadence, either by
statute, pulpit invective or otherwise,
leads us to believe that unless some
radical change in the divorce rate is
made, the chances are only about
twelve to one that our young friends

Mystery OF the Maine.

The naval board headed by Ad-
miral Vreeland, for the investiga-
ton of the blowing up Of the battle
ship Maine in Santiago Harbor more
than thirteen years ago, has compile
ted it's work and sent it's report
to the President. The report gives
only the conclusion that the explo-
sion was from the outside, with the
physical evidence that such was the
fact
The result of this investigation is
gratifying in so far as it gives SEEM
ingly substantial meaning to the slo-
gan Of the war of 1898 Remember
the Maine, that has sometimes been
ridiculed, but it is too meager to be
satisfying. Certainly the destruc-
ton Of the Maine was amply avenged
on Spain if Spanish malice instigated
the outrage, and it is not likely that
it came from other sources But it
may have been, and probably was,
the act Of some malignant individual
for whose dastardly act Spanish
public sentiment had no sort Of re-
spOnsibility. Americans generally
will prefer to believe that such was
the case. Our relations with Spain
are now entirely cordial and we
know enough of the proud Castilian
to believe that no true representa-
tive Of the race could have been
guilty Of such a bastard crime. 1t
is repugnant to all sense of justice
to associate the Spanish government
with the outrage.
The destruction Of the Maine will
likely become fixed as one Of the I'M
s0lvable mysteries that have from
time to time occurred in the prog
ress OF the world. 1t is too late now
to conduct an investigation that
would fix individual responsibility
for the deed. 1t is to be regretted
that such an investigation was not
undertaken vigorously soon after the
close Of the Spanish war-Nashville

The Probability Of Divorce
BY FarT.ar Newberry, A. M:

BY Farrar Newberry, A. M:
(Acting Professor of History the In
iVersity of Arkansas, and Acting
Secretary of the Arkansas Histori-
cal AssOciation.)
There is no way to foretell the out
come OF the workings of any social
problem, except by studying the fact
OF the past, and the present environ
ment, if different from that of the
period for which statistics are taken.
What is the probability that a
young man and woman, sweethearts
from childhood and now about to en-
ter into the holy state Of matrimony,
will become figures to swell the al
ready enormously alarming column
of that other institution. marriages.
sequel? What are the chances that
this young couple, filled with ambi-
ton and buoyant with the hope Of
home and family, will be ground
apart, at the instance Of one or with
the consent of both of them, in the
divorce mill?
From 1867 to 1905. 1882, 044
marriages were celebrated in the
United States. To be sure not all of
these pairs of people had been sweet
hearts, as have the couple mentioned
above, nor have they even known
each other, all Of them, from child
hood. And yet they were perhaps as
infatuated with each other when The
marriage was consummated as are
our friends at the present time. The
records show that out Of the 1882
044 marriages $40, 264 have been dis
solved by divorce already. This is one
out of every 1876
The number Of marriages known to
have been celebrated in 1887 and to
have been dissolved before 1907, or
after twenty years Of married life. is
35,349. Further, from the statistics
for duration of marriages divorced in
the twenty year period Of 1887 to
1907, We find that divorces occurring
before twenty years Of married life
have passed up S7.9 per cent Of all
divorces. Hence We may with reason
assume that the 5,349 marriages Gel
ebrated in 1887 and broken in the
divorce mill before twenty years had

The Voice of Official Labor.

The executive officers of the In
ternational Trade Unions have issued
a pamphlet entitled Both Sides of
the Crime Of the Century," It is an
authoritative utterance on the rela-
ton of labor to the Mcnamara case.
In the opening paragraph strong
condemnation is expressed for
''crime and violence, whether de-
veloping in trade unions, in CONNER
cial organizations or in the conduct
Of daily newspapers. We presume
it is equally abhorrent at church,
socials and theatrical balls, although,
for some reason not manifest, these
are omitted from the otherwise de-
tailed specification.
The pamphlet reiterates the state
ment that the leaders Of organized
labor believed the McNamaras to be
victims Of "aS foul a conspiracy as
was ever hatched," and sets forth,
at some length the alleged kidnap-
ing of one of the guilty men, and
his summary transference from In
dianapolis to Los Angeles. This ac-
the attitude Of the unions in coming
to the defense of the McNamaras,
and continuing their support as long
as the presumption of innocence was
tenabIe.
The rest Of the pamphlet is large
ly devoted to a denunciation of
labor's critics and the venting Of
wrath against so-called "hostile
newspapers" It is all in a temper
that rather discourages what faith
We might have had in the sanity and
observation-disclosures Of the Internation-
al executive officers. There is too
much Of the spirit Of resentment; too
little recongnition of the fact that
organized labor has been smirched
by the disclosure Of an anarchistic
faction within it's ranks.
We have never believed for mo-
ment that the acts Of the McNamaras
represented the spirit OF the rank
and file OF the labor movement; but
it has yet to be proven that these
two men were isolated individuals
pursuing a policy uncountenanced
by others. 1t is almost inconceiy-
able that the long list of outrages
in which dynamite and violence have
had common origin, were due to
their Independent and irresponsible
initiative. The Federal Government
refuses to accept this theory, and in
view of the FEASIBILITY that other
men, more Or less prominent in trade
uinonism, may be implicated by the
inquiry now in progress, we believe
the International officers might well
have used language more moderate
III their statement of the case.
The title "Both Sides" is, indeed.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-12-21

misnomer, and even if we accept
the pamphlet as setting forth mere
ly labor's side, it is made to. appear
that the answer of labor to the al
legged vituperation Of it's critics and
opponents can take only the form
Of more vituperation. All Of which
tends to convince us that the wage
earners Of this country suffer much
from the poor judgement of their
leaders, (Ky.) Herald

the majority must have been as we'll
developed among them as among US.
Such view leads to believe that, if
only we could trace it, the history of
the primitive Americans would prove
quite as interesting, and to us pos
sibly more interesting than that of
the early Oriental peoples to whom
our scholars devote SO much time
