DECISION LEFT WITH JUDGE
International Tribunal Is Compared
With Unsatisfactory Case Of Hyp-
notism In Murder Trial.

P. J. Corcoran of the western avia-
ton circuit said at a recent banquet
in Salt Lake:
1.-THE international tribunal has de-
cided against us in the Grahame White
claim. Well, that international trib-
unal is always unsatisfactory, anyway.
1t is almost as bad as the hypnotist
in the murder trial.
'In the days when hypnotism fig
ured in every murder trial, famous
hypnotist offered to hypnotizes the
prisoner and get confession out OF
him. This offer was accepted.
Accordingly, after thrilling scene
in the courtroom, the accused man
fell back stiff1y in trance, the hypno-
fist ceased the weird movements OF
his white hands, and there was a
tense pause.

voice, you've hypnotized him, nav.

at the census periods of 1900-1910
(present census), 1920 and 1880. The
argument he sent to congress in 1862
read as follows:
THE aggregate sum necessary for
compensated emancipation, of course,
would be large. But it would require
no ready cash, nor bonds even, any
faster than the emancipation progress
es. This might not and probably would
not close before the end of the 81
years; at that time we shall probably
have hundred millions to share the
burden, instead of thirty-one millions
as now. And not only so, but the in
crease of population may be expected
to continue for long time after that
period as rapidly as before, because
our territory will not have become
full"
He then proceeded to analyze the
problem of population increase, and
decided that the population Of the
United States grows at the decennial
ratio of 34.60 per cent. He submitted
the following table to verify his deduc-
tons:
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-04-07

According to Lincoln the census Of
1910 should net 3S,918,526 people, but,
like Jefferson, "Old Abe" was millions
too high in his estimate. The latest
census returns from Washington, sub
Ject to further correction, places the
total at 91,972,266, which would show
Lincoln's calculation to have overshot
the mark by 46,946.260.
However, it is only fair to remem-
Der that Lincoln's estimates were
based on the possibility of the war
coming to sudden termination after
the people had learned of his inten-
tons regarding the slave purchase.
But the death struggle went forward
relentlessly, and nothing was done
toward carrying out the life-saving
and humane policy advocated by the
great president. Therefore the above
decrease from his estimates must be
allowed to his credit, since hundreds

we know to have been very great, we
may safely say we are above four mill
lions.'
Thomas Jefferson personally as
Bumed the responsibility of correcting
the first census, and with red ink made
increases in figures, as well as sup
plying such other numbers as he
deemed correct. He then, in his Off
cial capacity, informed the world
through our foreign representatives
that the federal count was incorrect,
but with his additions and amenda-
tons could be relied on.
When the second decennial count
was completed Jefferson was presi-
dent, and a letter written by him in
1901 contains the following assertions:
You will perceive that the increase
of numbers (population) during the
last ten years-1790-1SOO-
in geometrical ratio, promises rapid
growth and the prospect 1t holds UP to
us, not with a view to the injuries it
may enable us to do others in some fu-
ture day, but to the settlement of the
SAlChoifO SOuhSly oliI lCIldluluS va
cant"
This second census was intensely
gratifying to Jefferson and he assumed
the role of prophet again, but proved
over-enthusiastic when he declared
that the American population would
continue to increase at the same ratio
Such was not the case, nor is there
any such definite thing as an exact
ratio in population increase. In 1913
he wrote to Humboldt
I'm fifty years more (1863) the
United States alone will contain fifty
millions of inhabitants"
But the population in 1863 was fig
ured at S3,21S,117, showing that Jeffer-
sons reliance on a definite ratio in
crease led him about 100000 too
high. In 1915 we find Jefferson writing
as follows to Mr.. Maury:
Forty millions in forty years, and
in sixty years eighty millions! This
would be 1915 plus 60. making it in
1875 as SO,0OO,0OO."
But at that date the enumeration re-
suited in 44,3S6,207, or about $4,000, 900
below Jefferson's estimate Jefferson
was careful student of natural in
crease in the human family, but his
knowledge as to what death, marriage
and immigration would do for nation
was meager. If that great statesman
could not form fair calculation, it is
safe to say that It would be hopeless
Job for anyone to indulge in predic-
tions Of what the population will be
fifty years hence, according to geo.
metric ratio. Abraham Lincoln was
another chief executive who endeav-
ored to solve the population puzzle.
Like Jefferson, he attempted to indi-
cate the exact figures, but acquitted
himself with more credit in the prob
lem of human fluctuations. Lincoln
Mt one time practically proposed an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, with view to enamel
pating the slaves, and paying the
southern owners reasonable pur-
chase price. He pointed out that after
the slaves had passed into the posses
sion Of the federal government they
could be liberated, and the dreadful
civil strife thus be brought to close.
In endeavoring to further this project
Lincoln set out to foretell the great
ness in population of the federal union

ICES. 1t is impossible for anyone to de-
termine the influence the census fig
ures will have upon the educational,
political and religious interests Of the
people. These numerals will affect
every state, county, city, town, village
and hamlet in the union. The size Of
the United States senate, as well as
many state senates, will be immedf-
ately enlarged, and in few cases d.
minished. The national house of rep
resentatives and state assemblies will
ALSO share in this change. Even states
WIZ be bounded differently, and the in
ternal outlines Of the present map of
our country will undergo most drastic
alterations. Governors of certain
states are anxiously anticipating sub
divisions of their respective domains.
Each fears the setting up of another
state government on the east, west,
north or south of his present undis-
puted territory. The size of our army,
the strength Of our navy, will be
shaped into accord with the findings
of the household of Uncle Sam.

destinies of the nation as the taking
of the census; and nothing is accept

people concerned in it's findings. Like
the Passion Play, it is in evidence
every ten years; and not unlike the
business inventory which takes place
every year, 1t establishes untold
changes, causes many unforeseen alter
ations, and brings to the surface val
liable details of both retrogression and
progression.
Trivial and profound themes alike
receive earnest attention. Even the
