Eff I'll Of BLACKS
ARE NULATTOES
United States Census Shows
Great Increase in Percent
age of Mixed Element.

WASHINGTON, Aug ga prelim-
mary statement showing by states and
geographic divisions the number and
proportion Of mulattoes among the ne
groes enumerated at the thirteenth de-
cennial census OF the United States.
taken as OF April 10 1910. was issued
today by Director Durand. Of the bu-
reau of the census.
The statement gives comparative fig
ures for 1870 and 1890, no data being
available for 1880 or 1900.
The term 'mulatto." as used in the
census of 1910, includes all persons, not
full blooded negroes, who have some
proportion or perceptible trace Of ne
gro blood. The bureau Of census does
not regard the returns as being beyond
question since the classification of ne
gtoes as fuil-b loods or mulattoes was
necessarily to a considerable degree de-
pendent upon the personal opinion and
conscientiousness of the enumerators
The results, however, are believed to
approximate the facts for the country
as a whole and for large aggregates.
How Percentage Grows.
In 1910 there We're in continental!
United states, as whole, 9.82I763 ne
groes of whom 2,050,GS6, or POS per
cent were reported as mulattoes. In
1890 there were 1,132,060 muattoes re-
ported or 1872 per cent of all the ne
groes and in 1870 total Of 5S4.049. or
II uer cent. Thus the figures, taken al
their face value, show that about one
fifth Of all the negroes in 1910 had some
admixture Of white blood, as against
about one Eighth in 1870 1t may be
noted, however, that an increase in the
mulatto element does not necessarily
imply increasing intermiXture with the
whites. since the children born Of mar
rages between blacks and mulattoes
would be mulattoes. according to the
census definition.
The percentage Of mulattoes reported
varies widely in different states ana
different sections of the country. II
New England and in the East. North
Central ana Pacific divisions, about one
third Of the negro population were re
ported as mulattoes, while in each of
the three Southern divisions the pro-
portion is only about one-fifth. In the
Middle Atlantic division, for some rea-
son, the percentage is not higher than
it is in the Southern divisions. This
may possibly be due to the rapid
growth Of negro population in that di-
vision through immigration from the
South.

SIMPLE MIXTURE

Some Reasons Why.

There are many good reasons
for electing Woodrow Wilson.
They may be thus summarized.
People had about determined that:
The burdensome, dishearten-
ing cost of living was only to be
arrested in its upward course,
only to be reduced by downward
revision of the tariff.
That monopoly must be shorn
of its power and competition given
a chance.
That the people in selecting can
-didates for all offices from the
presidency down must, in their
own defense, have a voice imme-
diately ascertainable and register
able.
That many, if not most, tariff
taxes should no longer avail to en-
rich few and crush down the re-
mainder.
That campaigns should be no
longer financed by corporations
acting in the dark and expecting
to benefit by their contributions.
That injunction proceedings
against labor must cease to be dis
eliminating.
That banking reform must be of
such character as to efectually
prevent corners" in money.
That, after all, this was intended
to be Government of the people,
by the people, and for the people,
and it was high time to give that
tlme-honored, pious axiom a prac-
tlcal trying out.
Dozens of other admirable, con-
vincing and compelling reasons
could doubtless be found, but
these will suffice. Perhaps they
could all be summed up in the
words: "The people wanted a
change"

Bulgars and Turks.

A unique arrangement has been entered
into between the Turks and the Bull
garians with reference to the supplying
of food to those in need pending the
writing of peace terms under the armis-
tice. The cities of Adrianople and Sou
tart are under siege and it is impossible
as long as the lines of investment are
unbroken for them TO obtain provisions
from outside. They are at present out
of supplies and the duty of provisioning
them naturally falls upon the Turkish
government. But to afford this relief 1t
would be necessary to send supply trains
all the distance from ConstantinOple, and
in order to avoid this requirement it has
been agreed between the contending pow
ers that the Bulgars shall feed the be-
leagured cities, the Turks in exchange
undertaking to feed the Bulgarian forces
along the Tchatalja defenses from Con-
stantinople. BY this arrangement the
Bulgars are relieved in turn OF the
task of sending provisions to the front
from Kirk-Kilisseh. Thus the remarka-
bic spectacle is presented of two armies
that have for some weeks been engaged
in a most desperate conflict feeding one
another during the suspension of hos
tilities- 1t is probably the first instance
in history Of such sensible adjustment.

Indeed, the imputation is unbelievable
and there must be a different motive for
the renewed prohibition. which has OF
recent years fallen into disregard. Quite
plausible is the explanation offered by
one of the diplomats stationed in WASH
ington that this rule has probably been
restated in order to prevent If possible
the marriage of some member OF the
German foreign service corps who desires
to contract an alliance with a socially
impossible or undesirable woman. 1t is
pointed out that German official society
is extremely aristocratic and that on GER
tain occasions considerable difficulty has
arisen owing to the introduction of for
eign women as the wives of diplomats
who have failed to win social recognition.
Consequently, occasionally the Bismarck
ian rule Is invoked to head off alliances
that might prove unsatisfactory from
this point of view, and it is to be hoped
that this is the reason now for the re-
ported revival of the prohibition. rather
than any such slanderous excuse as is
conveyed by the explanation that 1t is
done to safeguard German diplomatic
secrets
