What Census Shows

Does DR.. Copeland not know that back
In 1912, Jan. "a, the census director at
Washington issued belated mortality
statistics covering the year 1910 now
nine years gone, which showed that
in the United States 100000 children
were suffering from malnutrition and
15,000,000 more were in immediate need
of medical attention?
Milk in those days could be bought
for less than 8 cents a quart. Yet Just
as many children were starving then as
now. Not the milkman but society itself
was responsible then, as it is still re-
sponsible, for this deadly and intoler-
able thing.
The dear doctor, who once was the
mayor of little town in Michigan,
treating eyes and ears on the side,
knows politics from alpha to omega
His sight and hearing are keenly at
tuned to all the elements of public spec
tacle and debate. Menacing the milk
man, with the sword of Damoces, he
would have the burgess and the burgher
clack with Indignation to the undoing
of Mr.. and Mrs. Borden, Mr.. and Mrs.
Horton, and all the little Bordens and
Horizons, circumstances, incidents, acci-
dents, and facts to the contrary not
withstanding.

Milk Consumption Up, Not
Down

The consumption of milk has bean
cut down, he says, through high
prices. Yet the vital statistics of his
own department prove that, during
the past year, instead of falling off,
the milk consumption in Manhattan
actually increased per cent over the
year before, and that this increase is
entirely outside the wealthier sections
where high prices would make little
difference. Furthermore, there has
been no corresponding increase in
population to account for this. Mr.
Hearst, please note!
There are indeed in New York City
children starving through poverty, bue
there are other children whose
parents can afford to buy milk for
them, who, through ignorance, ara
condemned to diet of white bread
and tea.
In the meantime it is patent that
when men in high places stray from
truth, wandering and rambling
through the bulrushes of diversity:
the plain people, perturbed and de-
ranged, cannot be enjoined from
following a course of tumult and dis
order.

Histrionic Threats

To drag his histrionic threats into
the zone of achievement, theatric
system of Soviet rule must be sub
stituted with becoming hubbub and
uproar for the orderly procedures still
supposed to control official conduct
During nights, too many and too
long, cliques and clans have been
hurting mud hunks at the strongholds
of civic decency. Concealed behind
political claptraps, they have been
sniping from the dark. Within q month
the same DR.. Copeland, who now ad-
vocates the disquieting theory chat
New York's milkmen are to blame for
the condition of 100000 children hurry
ing to tuberculosis, informed the tax
payers of this community that the
mortality record of New York's chill
dren was the lowest in years.
What classfellows of the vacuum
school of craftsmanship inspire these
divergent utterances? The doctor says,
and quotes his own figures to prove
his statement, that the greed of the
mlkmen has deprived children of milk
to the extent of hundreds of thousands
of quarts.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-13
Society, Not Milk, to Blame

All over the world, since the begin
ming of enlightened selishness, earnest
men have been exploring with progress
sive intensity the health of the child,
and all over the world the cruel ravages
that DR.. Copeland now charges to New
4ork's mlkmen have been uncovered
to the Indictment, not of New York's
milkmen, but Of society in general
proud, self-sufficient, complacent,
thoughtless society
Perhaps, after all, some circum-
venting seer can be found to remind
the good doctor that we are still liv-
ing under government of laws, not
government of men, and that even
though, as he says, he possesses police
powers of incalculable energy and
scope, it is hardly within his power
to indct the milkmen or to order them
to do things that can't be DONE
If Indictment is possible the grand
jury is maintained expressly for the
purpose. If reduction of the cost Of
milk is possible it is to be brought
about through the operation of eco
nomic laws, not through the fulmina-
tion of official clank. clang, and clangor.

States, a melting pot of the nations.
When President-Elect Epitacio Pes
soa was here recently he said. in pub
lie address, is7 49,
Having in mind the close rela-
lions which have always existed be-
tween our two countries 1t is not sur
prising that the entrance of the United
States In the great European con-
flict should have had a decisive in
fluence on Brazil's procedure. To the
precious title of friend. uniting our
destinies and claiming our share Of
effort and sacrifice, we added that of

Just furnished to history the most
brilliant examples of ability and force.
"Now that the monstrous scourge
has disappeared from the face Of the
civilized world, and nations, impelled
by accumulated energy in the making
up Of lost time, are to resume their
old life of peace and toll, Brazil will
rejoice In continuing to develop more
and more the relations Of every kind
which bind her to the United States,
and to strive for this end will be one
Of the fondest endeavors of my gov
eminent"
1t is thus of particular Importance
that the United States endeavor to I'M
derstand the conditions of life in this
vast melting pot of the nations. The
melting pot of Brazil Is not just like
ours. 1t seems, however, to be quite
as complicated a boiling. The racial
diversity in Brazilian society is as pro-
nounced as is the variety of its geo.
graphical groups. A study of the home
life is a study in ethnology. The orig
inal Portuguese stock is found in all
phases of transition from unadulter-
ated purity through partial and com
plete mixtures with native Indian and
negro and fusion with foreign na-
tions-Italian, German, English, Span
ish and American. The Brazil of to-
day is melting pot of races and M
tionalities as heterogeneous as 1t is dis

plunged suddenly into this diverting
congeries of human, national and ra-
cial amalgamation, is inclined to SYM
pathize with the probable enlighten-
ment of Colonel Roosevelt. who is re-
ported to have inquired of q sea cap
tain concerning the population of a
certain West Indian island, when the
old sea dog replied: "Well, there are
some Spanish, a few French, some Por-
tuguese, a few Dutchmen and a dozen
other races the Lord didn't intend"
The amazing wonder of all le2e-
cially to a North Americana ~
lar with European races, and holding
decided views concerning color lines,
etc.), Is the manner in which this coun-
try is slowly, and apparently with har-
mony and democratic social and racial
relations, evolving distinct Brazilian
type. The salient characteristics of
what is becoming to be known as the
true Brazilian character include the
aristocratic culture and high intelli-
gence of the old family Portuguese
stock, at once Latin and Moorish by
Inheritance, the exaltation. daring and
passion Of vigorous aborigine's blood,
softened by the affectionate, emotional
strain of the African, especially in
north Brazil-the whole shot through
that marriage and general contact with
European races have afforded. With
such elements, the national home life
of Brazil is being compounded.
The Latin races are said to be lack
ing in homelike qualities, as compared
with English or Teutonic peoples.
Moreover, the Portuguese, who gave
Brazil formative principles. were more
truly the copyists of Roman civiliza-
ton than any other European stock,
and the Romans were famous for their
slight attention to the home. Yet Por-
tugal has been ever a land of homes
and her new world Brazilian daughter
has inherited her instinct. 1t is a land
placing great emphasis on family life.
There is always danger, in writing of
subject like Brazilian home life, for
the narrator to overgeneralize Home
and family life is, like the civilization
generally diverse, and 1t is necessary to
decline the stratum of life one is talk
ing about if an attempt is made to
find universal characteristics. There
Is the home of the seringuero or rubber
eatherer In the lonely fastness of the
Amazon wilderness, and the tepee of
the still savage Indian of the forest
Jungle. The fisher folk, a considerable
clan scattered along the Brazilian
coast from the extreme north TO the
Argentine boundary, have life dis
tinctive, bringing their hauls of fish
ashore in frail looking boats and in
light hearted talk and song sit about
their rude huts at twilight to sup on a
bit Of farina, drop of native whisky
and some Of the Brazilian dried beef
