NO. 7 The American “Drummer.” A United States consul sends to the state department a bit of advice for American business houses that intend seeking trade in Spanish-American countries. “Cheap traveling sales men who can pick up orders in a brisk and breezy fashion,” he de clares, will not be able to do much business there. Salesmen of culture and education, with polished manners and a knowledge of the languages and customs of the people among whom they go, he believes to be essential, The consul's intentions are good, and it is easy to see the point he seeks to make, American business houses would doubtless do well to remember his words of caution, But he has a wrong conception of the American traveling salesman, The type he has in mind figures more largely on the stage and in the books of fiction than on the road, The roy- stering, flashy “spellbinding” drum- mer has practically disappeared. The knights of the grip, while they may not be composite Lord Chesterfields and J. Pierpont Morgans, are quiet, level-headed, capable men of business, They seek, says the Cleveland Leader, to obtain and hold trade by a thorough knowledge of the branch of it they are in and by deserving the confidence of the men they deal with. The com- mercial traveler of to-day does not re- sort to tricks. He transacts business on a business basis, and succeeds on his merits. Such accomplished gen- tlemen as are described by the cons l would doubtless have an immense ad vantage over their less gifted brethren in Latin-America, but the supply of them is bound to be limited. It is a safe prediction that the plain, ordi- nary American traveling men will get their full share of the bu s in Mexico and Central and Sonth Amer: ica, Plaint of the Hindus.

They are becoming inpatient, in proportion as they share’ the benefits of a Muropean system of education, at the postpone- ment of the day when they are to have a voice in the shaping of the country’s policy.

Considering only mar- tied women and widows and di- vorced women, seven centers of popu- lation contained May 1, 1905, 46,022 mothers, of whom 19,478 were native born. They had 53,954 children, while 26,544 foreign-born mothers had 128,- 208 children. The native-born had an average of 2.77 ‘children, while their foreign-born mothers had an average of 6.47 children, or 67 per cent. more than their daughters in this country. The foreign-born mothers here had an average of 4.83 children, while their mothers in Eyrope had an aver- age of 7.76. The Boston Traveller thinks that it does not take a math- ematician to see what this state of things will in time leave the popula- tion of Massachusetts. The difficulty of bestowing charity wisely has long been recognized. In time philanthropy may be recognized as a science, worthy the careful at- tention of the most profound eco- Romie thinkers.
