Sclcicc oa "Causes of Race
Suptriority."
PHILADELPHIA. April 13.- The
flfth annual meeting of the American
Academy of Political and Social Science
began he"re ywterday and was contin
ued throughout today. There was a
full attendance of the membership of
the academy. The General topic of dis
cussion was "Amerlca'a Hace Prob
lems," and the many phases of that
subject were ably discussed by
men well known the country over. The
annual address was delivered last night
by Professor Edward A. Ross, for
merly of Lei and Stanford. Jr.. Univer
sity, and now member of the fac
ulty of the University of Nebraska,
who spoke of the "Causes of Race Su
periority." Prof. Ross aaid In part:
"The first cause of race superiority
to which I Invite your attention is a
psychological trait, namely, climatic
adaptability. Just now It is a grave
question whether the flourishing and
teeming people of the north temperate
gone can provide outlets for their sur
plus population In the rich hut undevel
oped lands of the tropes- Their super
iority, economic and mlllUry. over the
peoples under "he vertical sun is be
yond cavil. But can they assert and
profit by this superiority save by Im-
posing on the natives of the tropics the j
odious and demoralising servile rela
tion. Can the white nnn work and
multiply In the triples or will his role
e limited :o commercial and Indus
trial exploitation at a rafe distance by
means of a changing male contingent of
Roldlera, officials, business agents, plan
ters and overse-rs? The answer Is not
yet sure, but the facta bearing on ac
climation are not comforting to our
iace."
Prof. Ross then went on to show that
while the Anglo-Saxon la not as suc
cessful as might be wished In adapt
ing himself to tropical climates, the
Mongolian thrive In any xone. 'Said
he:
"The next truth to which I Invite
your attention is that one race may
"surpass another In energy. The average
of individual energy Is not a fixed race
attrihute. for new varieties are con
stantly being created by migration. The
voluntary unassisted nigrations of in
dividuals to lands of opportunity tend i
always to the Jpbuilding of i'ighly
energetic communities and peoples. In
America before the days of exaggerate 1
immigration the emigrants were physi
cally taller than the people from which
they sprang, the differences amounting
In some instances to an average of
more than an inch. The Ken
tiickians and the Texans have become
proverbial for stature, while the surpris
ing tallness of the ladies that will

tlfes to the bigness of the 'forty-niner?.'
"There Js no doubt that the form of
society which a race adopts Is potent
to arrest or to release jta energy. In
this respect Americans are peculiarly
fortunate, for their energies are stlrau

tuo of self-reliance. There Is vvuragv
which confronts resolutely a known
danger and a courage which f wvs per
ils unknown or vague. Now It Is thl
latter quality self-reliance which
chiSracterlaes those who have migrated
the oft" n-'st and have migrated as In
dividuals. 'The American's faith In himself and
cniflJence In the friendliness of the un
known may be due to his enlighten
ment; but It Is .nnre llktdy the unnp
piehtnsiveness that runs In the blod
of a pioneering br;ed.
"For economy greatness perhaps no
"luallty is more Important than fore
sight. "Since undr modern conditions abun
dant production Is bound up not so
much with patient toll as with the pos
session of ample capital, it Is evident
that. In the economic rivalry cf races,
the palm goes to the race that dis
counts the future least and is willing to
exchange present pleasures for Tuture
graduation most oearly at par. The
power to do this depends partly on a
lively imagination of remote experiences
to come, partly on the self-control that
can deny present cravings or resist
temptation In favor of the thrifty course
recommended by reason.
"We may in Met distinguish two
types of men. the sensorl-motor moved
by sense-impressions and by sensory
Images and the Idea-motor moved by
ideas. For ;t Is probable that the prov
ident races do not accumulate simply
from the liveliness of their antivlpi
tlon of future wants or gratifications,
but from the domination of certain
ideas. The race that can make Ideas
the lode stirs of life Is certain to sup
plant a race of Impulsivists absorbed
in sensations and recollection or iin:!
cipations of sensations.
"Between the economic type and the
military type there Is abrupt contract
and the social situation cann.'t well
favor them both at the same time. The
warrior shows passionate courage and
the sway of Impulse and imagination.
The trader Is calculating, counts the
cost and prizes a whole skin. From :h
first century. R. C., the substitution of
this type for the old heroic Oinclnnatus
type went on so rapidly that a recen'
writer fln.ts ronc-nita! ..lWAnliee til be
billty during the empire. We all know
the brilliant picture that Mr. Rrooks
Adams In his "Law of Civilization and
Decay' has given of the replacement
of the military by the economic type
in western Europe since the crusades.
'"If this hypothesis be sound the value-perceiving
sense is to be looked for
In old races that have long known
cities, money and trade. The Jew came
under these Influences at least twelve
centuries earlier than did our Teuton
ancestors and has therefore had about
forty or fifty generation the start of
us in becoming economic. Eiual or
even greater is the lead of the China
man. It is then no wonder that 'he
Jews and the Chinese are the most for
midable mercantile -aces in the world
today.
"In direct competition with the more
conimie type the Anglo-Saxon is han
dicapped by lack of patience and finan
cial acumen, but still his virtues in
sure him a rich portion. His energy
ar.rt selfreliance locate him in ci'les
and in the spacious, thriving parts of
the earth wh-?re the economic reward
is highest. Warfare is becoming a
costly form of competition and struggle
in which nations phed each other's treas
ure rather than each other's blood.
"At the same time tha: war is grow
ing more expensive it is Vecr'ming less
nrofitahle. Wealth is a means of pro
curing victory but victory Is no longer
a means of procuring wealth. A non
martial race may easily become victor
ious bv means of its prosperity but It
will be harler and harder for a non
economic race to become prosperous by
means rf its vlc'ories
"Hencefjrth this principle of cosmo
politanism must have to te reckoned
with; Even If the Chinese have not
y?t unfinished the armies cf the West
;yith Mauser rifles supplied from EkI
glum, there is no reason why that me

Sherman L. Coy, manager of thp 7ale

upon Harvard's position on that point.
"Yale is willing to have the program

HOfNDAUY DISPUTE.'.
Change In Course ot Massacre River
Ikely to Iead to War Ret ween
Haytl and Santo Domingo.
(Correspondence of Assoolited Press.)
KINC.SrON. Jamaica, April i.-The
following statement of the causes lead
ing up to the iveently developed boun
dary trouble between the republics of
llavtl and Santo Iomlngi and of the
present condition of affairs. Is furnished
by persons Just returned from the Isl
and: What is known as the Dominican Re
public, or Santo Domingv), was once
a province of the republic of Haytl. in
ISM the internal troubles and state of
anarchy which then prevailed (as a
result f the revolution which over
threw the government of President Roy
er after twenty-five years In oftlcel fa
cilitated and was the cause of the se
cession of the eastern portion of the
Island, which then proclaimed Its Inde
pendence. The existence of the new
republic " recognised by the Hay
lien government In 1ST.
The question of the delimitation of
the frontiers arose naturally from the
fact that the e iii iy f the IXunln
Uan Republic is not and never has been
defined. This important and delicate
question was finally, by mutual con
sent, submitted to the arbitration of
his holiness. Pope I.eo XIII. In conse-
luence of certain points raised as to
the powers accorded his holiness, the
two governments ttren uvidsl over by
Oeneril Simon Sam and Ulysses Heu-
reux) signed a convention by which It
was agreed to appoint a mlx.M Haytien-
IVmlnlcan commissi. n with full powers
to define and settle the boundaries lie-tw-vn
the two republics, such boundar
ies to be based n the respective po
sitions in 1S74.
This commission met at Anses-a-PI-
tres In January. 1S99. and Immediately
set to work. In spite of explicit terms
of the Stm-Heureux convention, which
ipulated that the utl possidetis of tST4
should be taken as the base for the de-
imitation, the Dominican commission
ers openly declared that they would on
ly abide by the provisions of this clause
so long as it would be favorable to
their Interests.
In order to explain this stand n the
part of the Dominican representatives
it might be stated that. Immediately
after the signing of the convention, the
Dominican governmet.t had caused to
be occupied several points along tie
disputed frontier, which occupation lb
Haytlens regarded as an encroachment
on their territory at points from which
Haytien trllps had been wthdrawn in
rder to facilitate an amicable settle
ment of the dispute. In the end this
mixed commission separated without
having In any way improved the situ
ation. The incident that has recently occur
red at Philobert r the northern fron
tier, and which gr- i'- ' irg-rs the
friendly relations of the sister repub
lics is considered hy the Haytiens to be
premeditated provocation on the part
of the Dominicans. The Haytien posts
established In that district to put down
smuggling and brigandage from over
the border have had to defend them
selves against repeated attacks. Ry
mutual consent the river Massacre,
which divides the Dominican province
of Dajabon from Haytien territory, h.is
for a long time been provisionally ac
cepted by both governments as the nat
ural boundary of the two states. All
thj country on the right bank of the
river was acknowledged to belong to
Santo Domingo whilst the country on
the left bank was regarded hy both
governments as Haytien territory.
And hereby hangs a funny and in
teresting tale. The Dominicans, a year
or two ago, conceived a brilliant idea.
Knowing that nature sometimes makes

ses, it occurred to some people residing

sacre. And no! sooner thought than
attempted. Huge boulders anil trunks
of ir.vs wore repeatedly rolled Into the
river. This, the llaytlens say, with the
knowledge and connivance of the Dom
inican government. Hut up the date
of the commencement of the prencnt
troubles all such attempts to improve
upon nature proved unavailing. For
the H tytlens on the left bank discovered
the little scheme anil time after time
removed the obstacles In the river be
fore damage was done.
However, within couple of weeks
ago. a remarkable thing happened. The
Haytien soldiers at I'hlloberi. situated
on Haytien leiTlluy on the left bank
of the Massacre river, retired to rest
one night. When they awoke the nex.
moiiilnif they looked in vain tor the
river. The bed over which the water
had previously Mowed was dry. Inves
tigations followed and It wis found that
the river was (lowing over u new chan
nel some miles to the west.
Of course the Dominicans discovered
ml that the river had changed Us
bed In the course of a night but that
the Havtien soldier had trinsfenvd
some substantial buildings some miles
into the Interior of Santo IKunlnno In
the spice of a single setting and rising
of the sun. The Dominium representa
tives appeared immediately upon what
was Haytien territory the tny before
and called upon th llayl-n othYer to
remove his posit ion to the other side of
the river. Tile Dominican officer who
'made the demand expressed the Indig-
nt'lon of his government at the con
temptible action of the Hayiieiis.
The Havtlens, however, refused to
i withdraw their post, calling instead on
the loininicaiis to restore the river to
Its original bed. Then the trouble com
menced. There was a clash of ar lis.
The H.ivtlens had the upp'r hand ind
si the Dominicans agreed to hive the
whole niatt-r decided by arbitration.
Meintlme the Iviminlcans Uiv quiet
ly preparing for war; and there Is a
strong feeling in Hayti that there will
h a clash of arms before the qu-s-tlon
of arbitration is settled The Hay
tien troops along the frontier have h-eti
reinforced and are now quietly await
ing the coming of the Dominic iiih to
force them from their own territory to
the opposite side of the liver.
