, Statistics by Mass Production
FOLKS with an inventive turn of mindjiever seem to stop
tinkering. 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.
