SCIENTIST DECLARES AMERICAN
PEOPLE ARE NOT DEGENERATING

ing any serious degree of mixed blood
as between Anglo-SaXon and Celt on
the one side and Slav or Italian on
the other.
Thus, even if we were to assume
that one class of our immigrants was
dawn from a civilization alien to
cur own, the American race as such
cannot be said to have suffered from
this cause.
But this argument against the
theory that the Nation has suffered
from immigration may be pushed a
step further. Broadly speaking, It
nay be said that our immigrants do
not represent the very highest type
OF the nations from which they have
sprung, for the highest types in each
country generally find career at
home; but, leaving this small and Sc
lect elias sout of the question lit is
certain that our immigrants are more
often than not drawn from the better
elements of European nations, those
elements which have more perseyer-
ance, more ambition, more intellig-
eHCe than the average.
Another consideration should NOT
be overlooked, namely, that in so far
as our Northern European immigrants
intermarry with Americans of the ma
tive stock, they quickly become Amer
I icanized, and their children leave
cur schools with scarcely trace OF
European influence upon them,
I'm regard to the Immigrants from
/ Southern and Eastern Europe, who
as it were, build up foreign communi
ties in our midst, they have little eff
feet one way or the other on the gen
eral character of our race; but here
again we must allow for two forces
which are working for good-one the
gradual, though perhaps slow, i'm
prOvement of the immigrant himself
through contact with a better envi
ronment; the other, the powerful in
duence of the companionship into
which children of foreign parents are
thrown in our public schools.

NEW YORK SWITCHES TO CLARK

BALTIMORE, June 20. Champ
Clark in the lead on every rollcall,
but lacking a minimum of one hun

yesterdays session of the Democratic

was nothing but a monotonous series

The result of the final rollcall for
the session, the twelfth, was an

was apparent that no nomination

convention took an adjournment unit

1t is given to few men in the pres
ent day to found new science, but
this is what has been done by Dr.
Frederick Adams Woods, lecturer in
biology at the Massachusetts\ Insti-
tute of Technology and late instruc-
tor in histology and embryology in
the Harvard Medical School.
This new science is called "histori-
ometry''-the measurement of his
tory-and it's aim is to find an an
swer to the profoundly interesting
and important question: Why do
some people succeed and others fail?
We have a record covering 2OOO
years, in which human action is set
forth with great detail, its motives
explained, it's defects described; and
yet the past fifty years of scientific
progress have done more to elevate
humanity than twenty centuries of
recorded experience.
The first product of historiometry
was Dr.. Woods fascinating volume on

achievements of more than 5000 rul'
ing monarchs and their blood Tela'

the greatest interest and considera'
ton by distinguished scientists in
Europe and in the United States and
vas recognized as an important ster
in the direction of putting the record
of history to highly practical use,
Effect of immigration.
The statement that the American
race is degenerating," said DR.
Woods, cannot be supported by ade
quate proof. If We accept degeneracy
as meaning the opposite Of develop
ment and growth, the question re
solves itself into one of what the
American people were in the past ans
what they are now.
THE argument is sometimes ad
vanced that although Americans o
the original stock may have adyanc
ed in morals, culture and physique
the general level of our civilization
has been lowered by tne influx o
immigrants.
at first sight this appears to be /
plausible view, because so much EN-
phasis has been laid in recent discus
sions on the fact that so many OF on
immigrants come from Southern anC
Eastern Europe and represent civil
cations widely different from that o
the Anglo-SaXon.
But the moment this theory il
subjected to a careful examination i
breaks down at every point In tn,

migrants come from Northern Flu

cripple or destroy the purchasing
power of these people and result in
a corresponding loss in our export
trade. In the case of Cuba, it would
put an end to reciprocity and destroy
the advantages we now have for our
exports in the Cuban market.
Our Revenues From Sugar.
Excepting only a few years when
we had surplus of revenue, sugar,
since the foundation of our govern

fruitful source of revenue without be,

SENATE COMMITTEE OPPOSING
FREE SUGAR, MAKES REPORT
CONTAINING STRIKING STATISTICS

The following are extracts from the
Senate Finance Committees adverse
report on the House free sugar bill:
In view of all the important inter
ests which would be iniuriously affect
ed by it, your committee considers it
neither necessary nor wise to make
so radical a change as is suggested in
the proposed bill.
The sugar industry of the United
States and our insular possessions,
which together furnish une-half of our
total sugar requirements, represents
an investment of several hundred mil
lion dollars, which has been made in
good faith and is deserving of fair
treatment by Congress.
The following table shows our
sources of supply and the changes
which have taken place during the
/ past Is years, OF our total sugar sup
ply of 100000 tons in 1896, l,70O0 900
tons paid full duty, while of our total
supply of 100000 tons in 1911 but
100000 tons paid full duty and 1896
600 tons paid 80 per cent of the full
duty.
The sugar which we purchased in
1896 from sugar-producing countries
other than Cuba and our present in
sular possessions amounted to l,112,-
600 tons, and in 1910 it amounted to
but 10000 tons, only rising in 1911
to 100000 tons because of the short
age of the crop in Cuba Our total
consumption tor the calendar year
1871 is placed at 3,752,OOO short tons,
or 100000 tons less than our sup
ply.
In this connection it is Of conse-
Quence to note the steady growth Of
the domestic sugar industry especial
ly that Of teet sugar since first it
became established in this country:
