A SCIENTIFIC srANDPATTER.

Explorer Stefansson, who. reported
the discovery Of the supposed Morse
Eskimo tribe in the Arctic. offers the
world a posture Of standpatism that
eclipses anything on record. He 10

any attempt to civilize OF Christian
ize his blonde discoveries lest they
get measles and be exterminated be-
fore he has time to study them. His
tory, he says, shows that wherever
the trader and the missionary have
come in contact with primitive peo-
Piles their extinction has followed or
is following. He cites the natives
of the South Sea islands and the Es-
kimos in corroboration. He fears the
trader would debauch them and the
missionary pauperize them. They are
now healthy. prosperous and content
ed. The kindest thing civilization can
do for the reputed descendants Of Lief
the Lucky. he contends, is to let them
alone.
Although himself a former student
Of Harvard divinity school he thinks
the religion they have Is good enough
for them. So, too. he believes, are
their primitive weapons and the rife
would only nasten the destruction Of
their game for the benefit Of traders.
Instead Of being allowed to roam
around they would probably be
taught to settle down in a hut and be-

Of all they would become contaminat-
ed with modern ideas and thus value
less for scientific observation. To pre-
e this calamity he is going t. ask
the Canadian government to establish
a quarantine that will keep u all
intruders but scientists.
1t is a novel. even shocking idea
that under any circumstances the
blessings Of civilization are doubtful
and indeed actually undesirable. Is
the world to let them continue to
wallow in aboriginal ignorance in
definitely or will stefansson consent
to let them be exposed to the perils
of civilization when science has fin
ished vivisect1ng them? And is there
no risk Of the scientists injecting
them with civilization? Are scien-
fists not civilized? Judging from
Stefansson, perhaps not.

some respects the race for second

change. Taft undoubtedly is gaining

ing Of an extra session Of congress to

While many of the leading men,
bers Of the house regarded the situa-
ton in Mexico as critical in the .ex-
treme. among them Speaker Clark.
the general impression before con-
gress adjourned was that there would
be no extra session. Personally, I do
not think this government should un-

country. unless American lives and

Jeopardy that Intervention is absolute

the Republican Voters Of the State

OF NORM bakoIa
The republican state committee
through its regularly elected officers.
calls upon the republican voters Of
the state to lend their aid toward the
election Of the republican state ticket
from top to bottom.
The legislature of North Dakota,
through its republican majority, en-
acted a primary law in obedience to
the popular will. Under that primary
law nominees for the republican par
ty have been chosen. The republi-
cans had their differences before the
primary election and fought them out
in June. After the primaries there
should be no factions. The candi-
dates nominated are no longer candi-
dates OF any faction Of the republican
party but they are republican candt-
dates.
Every consideration Of party fealty
and Of squareness and fairness on the
part of the republican voters de-
mands that the republican state can
didates be supported at the polls by
the republican voters Of the state.
Built Democratic Machine.
The democrats have had control OF
the state government during the past
six years. In that time the leaders
of the democratic party have been de-
voting their efforts to the building up
Of a democratic machine. The on

party are everywhere through the

Of the state should appreciate the
real significance OF the attempted d.
vision Of the republican strength as
a move which can be only In the In
terests of the democratic party.
The republican ticket In this state
comprises men Of tried ability and
for whom every republican should be
pleased to cast his ballot. The ticket
is headed by L. II. Hanna Of Cass

no word can he truthfully said. either
in his business career or private life.
He has served the state efhciently and
honorably as congressman for the
past four years. He has the business
capacity and knowledge Of affairs to
give the state Of North Dakota an
administration that shall reflect
credit upon the state and be OF hard
dollars and cents value to every tax
payer in the state. Mr.. Hanna was
fairly nominated at a state wide pri-
mary. No good 81 can be ad-
vanced by any republican In the state
why Mr.. Hanna should not have the
united support OF his party at this
election.

leans or their sagacity," said Mr..
Schmidt. land this expression is not
my own. American consular officers
in many German cities have often
made the same observation. Perhaps
the seeming inability of American
manufacturers and exporters I'd com
pete with those Of Europe is due to
the fact that they do not depend upon
their foreign trade. having plenty of
business at home. Nevertheless, there
is an effort. apparently. to extend
business with European countries.
ut is evident. however. that the
American manufacturer does not
know how to get foreign business.
He will send handsome catalogues to-
the foreign trade. but when it comes
foreigners shall observe the same
custom Of paying for goods in thirty
or sixty days. While his competitors
among European manufacturers will
give his customers almost any time
they ASK for.
Again. instead Of sending abroad
statesmen who r familiar with for.
eign countries and able to talk the
language of the country where they
go. the American will send men who
can speak only English. This neces-
sarily places them at n great disad-
vantage. Now. while the American
trade in Europe is on. the increase. It
is not growing at the rate It should.

Indiana Strong for WILSON.

Wilson and Marshall will carry
Indiana by a large plurality" said j.
A. Mathews of Indiana. for many
a Washington correspondent Of
western papers. Mr.. Mathews has
Just returned from a month spent in
Indiana. where he observed the trend
OF the political situation.
Such is the judgment Of political
observers in Indiana" continued Mr..
Mathews. The democratic plurality
is placed at from $4,000 to $50. 900.
This latter figure was the estimate
OF q former member Of congress. a
republican. who Is supporting Taft
that the democrats will have from
$4,000 to 100000. They will elect
their state ticket. Colonel Roosevelt
and the progressive state ticket will
probably poll more votes than the
Taft ticket. Former Senator Bever-
idge Is making an aggressive and at
tractive campaign. He will draw from
both democrats and republicans. Many
demosrats are supporting the pro
mated that from five to ten per cent
OF the democratic vote has gone over
to the new party. But this will be
more than offset by the large repub-
lican vote that will be cast for WILL
son. Democrats In Indiana nominat-
ed a strong state ticket this year.

Progressives believe they have a

Neve.
Indiana is thoroughly aroused. In
the city in which I vote. Winchester,
the mayor. many professional men.
clergymen are progressives. But the
movement is most strongly supported
by the farmers. In one township in
the county. the weathiest agricultural
township. peopled mostly by Quakers,
President Taft has but four follow
ers. Canadian reciprocity is not the
chief factor in the matter. had
thought that would account for Roose-
vets popularity In the rural districts,
It having been understood that Presi-
dent Taft was unpopular with the
farmers because he championed reel
procity with Canada. But these farm
ers with whom I talked over political
conditions during my visit there cited
the fact that Senator Beveridge, whom
they are supporting for governor, was
a strong advocate Of reciprocity. The
"a vi 1IUldUh
were in, favor Of former President
R~oosevelt's nomination before the
Chicago convention. I do lot think
the progressive movement in Indiana
will end with this campaign. I think
the men behind it are in earnest. AS
a class they are not politicians.
1T looks as II the democrats would
elect the entire delegation in con-
gress. There is at present but ono
republican-Judge Crumpacker. Taft
managers concede at least two coun-
ties to the progressives in Crumpack-
er's district. In face Of such con-
cessions. I fail to see how he can be
Reelected. In the Eighth district,
where I vote. the progressive nomi-
nee for congress will poll probably
twice as many votes as the regular
republican. That is not my Judgment
alone. 1t is the deliberate opinion
of others in position to have knowI-
edge Of the situation. including Rep.
r%esentative Adair. democratic incum-
bent, who will easily be r~e-elected."
