The Unknown Blue and Grey
By WILBUR D, NEsBT

There are unknown graves in the valleys
That the troops of war possessed.
Where the bugles sounded for rallies
But the bullets sang of rest:
And the mountains hold without number
Hidden graves from wars mad day,
Whorethe unknownmen have their slumbor
In their shrouds Of blue and gray.

Where once we're the guns that wrangled
Sounds the peace song Of the thrush,
And the roses and vines are tangled
In the solemn sacred. hush;
Where the cannon one day would hurtle
Their missiles in the fray
Grows the rue and the creeping myrtle
Ger the graves Of blue aud gray.

For the God Of battles is kindly
With none of mankinds hate
That is cherished ever too blindly-
And these pawns Of warfare's fate
Have their tombs Of natures splendor
Each set forth in proud array
Through an impulse holy and tender.

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, a famous
hypnotist offered to hypnotic the
prisoner and get a confession out OF
him. This offer was accepted.
Accordingly, after a thrilling scene
in the courtroom, the accused man
fell back stif1y in a trance, the hypno-
fist ceased the weird movements OF
his white hands, and there was a
tense pause.
Well said the Judge in a low
voice, you've hypnotized him, hav-
emit you? What are you waiting for?'

we know to have been very great, we
may safely say we are above four mil
lions"
Thomas Jefferson personally as
sumed 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 u 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 OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
in ~geometrical ratio, promises rapid
growth and the prospect 1t holds up to
us, not with a view to the injuries 1t
may enable us to do others in some fu-
ture day, but to the settlement Of the
extensive country still remaining 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:
"In fifty years more (1863) the
United States alone will contain fifty
millions of inhabitants"
But the population in 1863 was fig
ured at 33,218,117, 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 MI. Maury:
Forty millions in forty years, and
In sixty years eighty millionsl This
would be 1915 plus go, making it in
1875 as 3d. 900, 900"
But at that date the enumeration re-
suited in 1896, 207, or about So, 900, 900
below Jefferson's estimate. Jefferson
was a careful student of natural in
crease in the human family, but his
knowledge as to what death, marriage
and immigration would do for a nation
was meager. If that great statesman
could not form a fair calculation, it is
safe to say that it would be a hopeless
job for anyone to indulge in predic.
lions of what the population will be
afty 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
at n time practically proposed ar
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, with a view to enamel
pating the slaves, and paying the
southern owners O reasonable pur
chase price. He pointed out that aftel
the slaves had passed into the posses

According to Lincoln the census of
1910 should net 138,918,5 26 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 1872, 1855, which would show
Lincoln's calculation to have overshot
the mark by 46,946,26O.
However, it is only fair to remem-
Der that Lincoln's estimates we're
based on the possibility Of the war
coming to a sudden termination after
the people had learned of his lnten-
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

This verse, composed before the union Of
the 10 colonies, was probably criticised by the
practical men of the authors generation as
being manufactured from the stuff that
dreams are made Of" But to Freneau's inspired
vision the changes he foretold were clearly out
lined in mes magic mirror. If the poet were
alive today and could read the marvellous
census figures which come daily from our fed
eral capitol he would find not only every word
of his prophecy fulfilled, but discover that des-
tiny had added even greater surprises to the
prediction.
The first national census was taken during
Washington's administration in 1890. Jefferson,
then secretary Of state and under whose direc-
ton the count was made, expressed disappoint-
ment when the final figures-S,929 ,214-were
shown him. On August "a, 1891, he wrote to
William Carmichael as follows:
Il inclose you a copy of our census, which
so far as it is written in black ink is founded
on actual returns; what is in red ink being
conjectural but very near the truth. Max

Excesslye Tax on Newsnapars.

II the Republicans sincerely believed
that the government ought to guaran-
tee the profits of the manufacturers of
news print paper, why not have paid
yer the money directly instead of
guaranteeing profits by the indirect
process of a customs levy? The news
papers themselves might make up the
guarantee fund. 1t would be cheaper
for them. If they were allowed to
purchase their supply of print ppaer in
Canada, or wherever 1t was cheapest,
unobstructed by any tariff imposts,
they could afford to say to the Amer1-
a manufacturers of print paper:
you may close your mills, and we
will pay you every year a sum equal
to your average annual profits for the
last ten years" The newspapers
would a v money by such an arrange
ment. AS Mr.. Norris has pointed out,
there has been added more than &c..
100000 per year to the price which
newspapers formerly paid for white
paper. The newspaper Of the United
States pay annually for print paper
more than $55, 600, 900, and they face
the prospect of an increase of this
amount by something like 25 per
cent.
