WHITE WAYS NOT WELCOMED
Explorer Tells Of Dire Results Of "CIv-
ilIzatlon" Among the Esklmos
That He Has known.

Cold figures and facts presented by
Vilhajalmar Stefansson show why he
wishes to protect his blond Eski-
mos" from contact with the whites.
He says in the Geographical Magazine
that according to records in the so
years up to 1910 the Mackenzie river
Eskimos have been civilized, Chris
tanned and reduced by white mems
diseases from over 1000 to less than
40. In 1911 there we're at Cape
Bathurst about 20 civilized Eskimos,
partly Mackenzie river people and
partly emigrants, and out Of that 40
"a good 20 were seriously i'll. two of
them permanently insane, while in an
unciyilized group (which from the
very beginning has been isolated
from white men) we found only one
sick. an old man who had been blind
for something like eight years.
"And not only were many of the
civilized Mackenzie people chronical-
ly Ill, but they were also insufficient
~ clothed and in~suficiently fed. There
was In 1911 probably not a single In
dividual in the Prince Albert sound
group who did not have at least two
complete suits of warm skin clothing
and many had several suits, while
among the civilized Eskimos of the.
Mackenzie at any time between 1908
and 1912 a man who had even n
good suit was hard to find. Most of
them are 30 poorly clad that they
are unable to hunt seal in winter
through being insuficiently protected
from the cold.
This insuficiency of clothing is the
result Of two things: First, the In
PRODUCTION of rifles has destroyed the
caribou upon which they depended for
clothing, and, secondly, the multiplied
ton of new wants, such as the desire
for tea, tobacco, sugar and ammuni-
ton, forces them to barter for these
expensive luxuries the skins which
they might otherwise have used to
dress In for the cold"

The keyboard can be operated as fast
as that OF an ordinary typewriter, SO
that with practice communication be-
comes very smooth and rapid. Each
station, OF course must contain both a
sender and a receiver and these may
be in different rooms or in houses a
long distance apart. /,
The instrument can be conveniently
used for conversation between a,deaf
person and a normal person who is ig-
norant Of the finger language. The
silence with which the device is oper-
ated is a very important point In its
favor. This feature might make 1t
especially useful where quiet or Sc
crecy in transmitting information is
desirable, as in sending war news or
secret instructions in business houses.

Wheel Barometer.

What is known as the wheel baro-
meter is an ingenious variation OF
T~orricelli's idea. This barometer was
invented by Robert Hooke, probably
the greatest philosophical mechanic"
of his day. 1t is intended to indicate
the weather without observing the
mercury itself. There is the usual
tube. but It is bert at the bottom into
q short leg. In this leg a little glass
float rests upon the surface Of the mer-
curry. A cord attached to the float
passes over the pulley. The pulley Is
furnished with a pointer that moves
around the dial, the moving agency be-
ing the rising or falling mercury,
which lifts or lowers the aoat.

BRYAN AND U

1t bespoke a remarkable state of
mind among official Washington and
the neWspapermen of the capital
that Secretary Bryan's dinner with
out wine should attract so much at
tention. 1t is sad to contemplate that
a teetotaler in officialdom should
feel constrained to explain his stand
but we have nothing but admiration
for Secretary Bryan in standing firm
for his lifelong belief. Colonel Brv-
an, IN his formal statement, explains
that the custom of serving wines or
other liquors at his table has never
prevailed; he and his wife are total
abstainers. He also tells us that be-
before he accepted the position as
head of the state department, he con-
ferred with President Wilson as to
the probability of any embarrassment
arising from his w~ell-known views
on prohibition and was informed that
he might use his own discretion. He
did use his own discretion and before
the dinner of last Monday he care
fully explained to the diplomats whom
he invited to his home his views on
the liquor question. The guests fell
in heartily with his views and, in
Secretary Bryan's own words, Eve
never spent a more enOyahln even-
ing" 1t is to be hoped that none of
the guests were the persons respon-
sible for the gossip now p%ervading
the capital.

THE WILSON MERIT SYSTEM

Early among the announcements of policy by the admin
istration in Washington was the declaration that merit
would be the basis of appointment under the new regime.
And the %highbrow press which had supported wilson
blandly waved its left hand and remarked, I'VE told you SO"
1t was the thing they knew would happen. 1t was the
thing for which they had contended through long years OF
o-thevictor-belong politics. DR.. Wilson was making good.
There was a ripple of circumspect applause, nothing violent
enough to crack the kid gloves or to disturb the meeting,
but yet applause.
And with this dignified demonstration Of approval, the
Eminently Correct sank back in their chairs, beaming with
self-conscious superiority. The vulgar scramble was over;
there would be no further disgrace from this source; only
such men as we're qualified by talent and by association
would be holding office.
The peacefulness of this comforting situation is now
rudely broken by the New York Evening Post-one of the
leading Itold-you-so performers-which calls the attention
of its readers to "Mr. Wilson's first considerable blunder."
The blunder is the appointment OF a man from Georgia,
W. ]. Harris, to the position of director of the census. Mr.:
Harris is described as "a business man Of Atlanta, who had
several years experience at Washington as secretary to
Senator Alexander S. Clay
Incidentally, it is said that Mr.. Harris is chairman OF the
democratic state committee OF Georgia.
These are the qualifications, then, which led to the ap-
pointment of Harris in the place of Durand, trained stats.
tcian and expert in public affairs. These are the tests OF
merit upon which the Wilson merit system is based.
There are, it is said, departments in Washington which
are so tightly geared that they are self-running. All that
"a business man from Atlanta" has to do when he is ap-
and make no noise. But the census department is not one
of these. There are great questions OF policy involved in
the governments census work They are questions which
are debated by the %country's leading statisticians. They
cannot be settled by subordinates; they must be passed
upon by the director.
Mr.. Wilson has created the impression in the public mind
that he intends to divorce politics from the government
service as much as he can, but this appointment does not
bear out the impression. 1t is heavily loaded on one end
with pure partisan politics. The other end carries a
mighty light load of fitness and experience. This is a
pity. This is an experts job; it should not be thrown into
the pot for the politicians to grab. Surely they have a
course in sociology at Princeton; this should have led the
former president of Princeton to make other choice for
census director than a politician, even if he is from
Atlanta, Ga.

Modern Women
~XxXII.-WOMEN IN ORGANI-
ZATION.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

The nineteenth century marked the
beginning of the movement for or
ganization among m In years
before Women as individuals had oc-
Vocated some reform Or philanthropy,
but, until their strength was unified
by organization, their efforts did not
have any important influence.
1t is claimed that the first organ
lzation of Women was the Female
Society of Philadelphia, still in exist
ence, which was organized in 1902. It's
object was to give secret aid to Wom-
en- who had been brought up in lux
ury and who in their old age found
themselves in poverty. The society
had a number of unique provisions in
it's constitution. One of them was
that the office of treasurer must al
ways be filled by an unmarried WON
an because the laws of Pennsylvania
at the beginning of the last century
did not give a married woman any
right to hold money in her own name.
.The little organization never num-
bercd more than 81 members in it's
strongest days and during the last
quarter of a century has been reduced
to less than a dozen. Several of the
members are of extreme age and most
of them are of Quaker faith, al
though the society was not in any way
denominational. The reports of the
treasurer at the completion of the
fret pppf,1p1r tnlinnt1J f1o+ Al, 90
ciety had dispensed considerably over
100000 in it's quiet philanthropy. Most
of the money was paid by dues and
contributions of members, although
the organization used to do needle
work at the meetings. This was sold,
and the proceeds added to the treas
ury. In comparison with the records
of more modern organiZatio this
Female Society seems rather narrow
in it's scope, but it's members fondly
cite the fact that it never has had any
disturbance that brought it into pub
lie notice and the benefit of it's char
ity is ~indisputable.
The early organizations of women
were usually religious in their scope.
The Piqua Female Bible society was

membership included nine women.
One of its first presidents. Mrs. Eliza
Petit held her office from 1870 until
1881, a period of Al years, which sure
ly is a record in office-holding for any
organization. For nearly 100 years it
held a RECORD for it's meetings upon the
first Monday in each Month At the
18TH anniversary, to which were in
vited all the daughters and grand
daughters of the original founders, it
was announced that the organization
had sent in owe SIS. 900 to the Amer
lean Bible society in New York.
Next to the woman suffrage organ
izations, the first of which was organ
lied in 1S4S, the most important of
the earlier women's organizations is
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union which had it's origin in Cleve-
land in 1874. This organization now
extends throughout the entire coun-
try, having branches in every state
and Hawaii. 1t has about $4,000 lo-

most prominent women's patriotic
organizations.
The Woman's Relief corps repre-
sents the women of the families of the
boys in blue" who saved the union
in 1S61-5. The United Daughters OF
the C~onfederacy is composed of
southern women. 1t includes the
wives, widows, mothers, daughters,
sisters and lineal female descendants
of the men who served upon the con-
federate side in the war for the union.
They also erect monuments to south
ern heroes, provide for the wants of
needy confederate veterans and their
families and support the confederate
museum located at Richmand, Va, in
(which are being collected the most
valuable historical relics connected
with the history of the south.
The Needlework Guild of America
is n of the most meneficent WON
ms organizations in existence. It's
work is done so quietly and unosten-
t%atiously that thousands of people
never have heard of it, and yet in
every large city there is to be found
a branch which distributes thousands
of new garments to the needy poor.
Membership is secured by contribu-
tons of at least two new garments
each e. which may be as costly or
as inexpensive as the means of the
donor dictate. These garments are
distributed once a year among the
free wards of the hospitals, the
~orphanages, the associated charities
and other organizations whose work
brings them in. touch with the needy.
Although of comparatively recent ORR
