Besides household appliances we have robots and in addition to machines of travel and flight we have de vices that manufacture entertainment for our delight. New Iv announced are new-statistical machines which are report ed to do in 30 minutes what would take 100 skilled men the aame time to accomplish We need one right now for income tax, excise tax and census reports. If 0. C. Chapman had one think how much more wizadry he could display with figures. This machine can compute as many as twelve com plex mathematical problems at the same time. If it knows how to change losses into profits some people will order it bjrthe gross. Here is. how the New York Herald-Tribune described its powers: "The new machines can classify and group any number of measures, can count the members la each measurement group and prist the results, add all of the measurement ia each group and giro grand total, square each lndirldual measura and compute the sum of the squares, and total the asms of the cross products ot one ot the measures with as many as eight other measures." They tried out the device in figuring the classification of the school children of Pennsylvania. Punching a few but tons and turning a crank, we suppose, were all the acts re quired and the machine showed the percentage of Pennsyl vania school children who had Scandinavian ancestry, how many had red hair, and a hundred other things. Whether it would get stuck countings the Dutch in the K:-stone state we cannot say ; but the congressional election -, committee will need one to tell how much Senator-electetl-but-barred Vare will spend in the next primaries. There is only one thing wrong with such a machine. It will give the statistical sharpers an excuse to call for more information from business in order to feed the hopper of one of these voracious things of tin and lacquer. Just now we have a questionnaire on employment from the state labor commissioner, that will keep a clerk busy for two days delv ing into old records to supply the information requested. Mr. Gram wants information about employment, male and female, wages, etc., for the past two years; and there isn't any machine either that can root out the information from old records. By the time it is all exhumed from the various factories of the state, we fear the data may be antiquated, even if Mr. Gram gets one of these new sausage-grinders to run the reports through. Archduke Sells Sausage EVERY once in a while the twigs of European royal houses that were put out of commission by the world war turn up in the world news. Often it is some Russian no-account, or some member of the German nobility whose immediate and pressing concern is to finance the next cup of coffee. Just a few days ago we read that the Archduke Leopold of Austria, grand nephew of the late Franz Joseph, the Aust rian emperor, is living in New York. His occupation is list ed as "sausage salesman." He got into the news because he joined with a British soldier of fortune in gelling the neck lace of his aunt, the Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria. This necklace was the one which Napoleon the Great lad presented to his empress, Marie Louise of Austria, when .she presented him with a male heir, 119 years ago. Napoleon was so happy when his succession seemed assured with the birth of L'Aiglon, his heuythat he bought this diamond neck lace for his wife. With his abdication she went back to Aus tria and the necklace remained in the Hapsburg family un til it was sent over here for sale. The sausage salesman archduke and his British associ ate sold the diamonds in the necklace, which they said was -worth $400,000, for $60,000 to a&ew York jeweler. But the : archduchess who was the real owner, revoked her authority of sale, so now a pretty problem is involved. But Leopold, one time member of the Austrian royal family, probably knows more about selling sausages than selling diamond t necklaces. To such a pass has royalty come. Governor, or Politician? GOVERNOR Norblad has given the state a splendid dem onstration of what might be called a whirlwind eam--paign. A flea could not keep up with his hops about Oregon; and not even the redoubtable Walter Pierce could rival Mm as a ready speech-maker. Mr. Norblad has made good as a . campaigner. -But the state is observant to see If he will make good as a governor, v The governor's moves have been so -obviously political from the time of his. initial and -premature announcement that the question arises' whether his fence-building- through juggling appointments is merely for the duration of the campaign or whether his administration if he should , be elected will be marked with his personal political fortune the first consideration. ' - ' In his zeal for votes the governor runs the risk of mak ing too many, promises catering to too many petty groups, feeding everybody hooey and then being unable to live up to his commitments. In the matter of pending appointments the state would like to see dear evidence of picking men for , their fitness and not their mere political expediency. The governor has 8hownhimself a great campaigner; time now to really be governor. i. - The increase la the sugar tariff to Jt cents a pound or to J centa forth) Cuban product represents trading proposition.
