What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's in 1921 gave Randolph Bourne a brief notice as a promising radical who "died in 1918" — he was killed by the influenza pandemic that December, aged 32 — and listed only his books on youth and schooling. His reputation since rests on work Collier's does not mention: the anti-war essays gathered posthumously as Untimely Papers (1919), including the unfinished fragment on the State with its line that war is the health of the State, and the 1916 essay "Trans-National America," now a standard text on immigration and cultural pluralism. Hugh Bourne's Primitive Methodists, described as a live "sect" with American and Canadian missions, ceased to exist separately in 1932, when they joined the Wesleyans and United Methodists to form the Methodist Church of Great Britain. Jonathan Bourne, written up in the present tense as an Oregon corporation president defeated in 1913, died in 1927; his 1907 election came under Oregon's pioneering direct-primary system, the model for the Seventeenth Amendment ratified the year he left the Senate.
