181 per 1000 and New Origans With 202 per 1000 The statistics gjve St Paul the record for healtlw with a mortality rate of only 114 for each 100ft iihabltants while Cleveland and Coium bus are second and third respectively In searching for the reasons for this high rate of mortality in the nations Capital various ingenious arguments are ad vanced It Is pointed out for example that our large transient population adds unfairly to the statistics and that al lowance should be made for deaths at the 8oldlers Home Government Hospital for the Insane and other public instltu tlons of like character There are also the large negro population and the slums There is no need to go further The slums are to the city what the fly is to the apotnecarys ointment They are the breeding places of disease and death re sponsible not only for the appalling rec ord vt mortality wrought among those who dwell therein but also In no small measure for many deaths beyond their limits just as the felon in the old London docks carried jail fever to the judge on the bench To confine the investigation to the alleys alone will only show In part the menace of their presence jet the statistics thus revealed are sufficiently convincing as will be seen from a comparison of health office figures for the year ended June 30 1910 During that period the death rate among the colored residents of the alleys was SI 94 per 1000 and 1430 among the whites In the larger streetst the colored death rate was 2584 per 100B and the white 1473 While these figures show to what a marked extent the colored death rate tends to Increase the general average the difference between the alley and the street death rate Is striking only as It affects the colored race since the mortality is actually higher among the whites In the streets than In the slums This can only be explained by the fact that white residents in the alleys are so few as to render the statistics inconclusive The most startling figures are those for colored Infant mortality in the alleys which reach the formldablo rate of 402 per 1000 That a good work has been done in recent years in cleaning up the citys plague spots Is generally recognized But the work must go on until the slums are wiped out With the removal of the human warrens that remain and the enforcement of sanitary regulations in all sections there is no reason why

Department of AgrfcultuTe to various legislatures for appropriations for the manufacture of a bd cholera serum The success of the serum has been demonstrated by government experts A practical demonstration was given recently sat the Union Stock Yards in Omaha and State officials breeders and pack ers all admitted the efficacy of the new serum They said that In a short time it would wipe out hog cholera which has Infected so many porkers throughout the country No money however Is provided by the government for the manufacture of this serum and unless the States make their own arrangements for the manufacture of the antitoxin its benefits probably will be lost The Department of Agriculture in this as In other instances lV working on the theory that one of Its chief functions Is to educate Large sums of money are being spent merely to spread scien tific information of value to farmers throughout the land There ls no at tempt to interfere with the functions of the States It 1b only by such cooperation between the Federal government and the States that the twilight zone can be covered without violating the letter and spirit of the Constitution This is the

the octopus and fol lowed the deed with the famous message to the folks back home telling how he had met the enemy and they were hisn But now Mr Roosevelt has penetrated to the very center of the senators1 stamping grounds and has been received with open arms Not only that but the seri ator himself lent the dignity of his presence to the occasion He shook the Colonels hand and responded to his delighted with a hearty Happy to meet ye Also if Dame Rumor has correctly rfeported his side remarks the senator has stood sponsor for the distinguished visitor Informing his sianch Ozark allies euphoniously denominated the hillbil lfes that Teddy was all right all right Whether this be a weakening of the senators mora fiber or an increased breadth of view and mellowing of his fiery spirit is hard td say That his position is not a wholfy unexpected one however will be admitted by those who gave close heed to his attitude during tho Ust session of Congress The expectant ones who looked to see him tear em wide open at that time were as will be remembered entirely disappointed On the contrary his whole demeanor was conciliatory in the extreme In one brief debate he did demur gently to a statement by Senator Aldrich but Quickly followed by ad mitting the temerity of like myself in opposing this raatuxer Judgment of his brethren and dosed with general appeal to all present that they bear witness that nothing perscnal was intended As for the senator flom Rhode Island I assure him there 4a no difference between he and I vere his concluding words Thus It stands on the flir page t0f

prizes offered will grow 100 bushels of corn to the acra this season This sort of thlpg will wed the lad to the farm and ultimately It will wed the American farm population to the soil as the French peasant Is to his patch If that condition prevailed now our agricultural products would be Increased In quantity more than threefold These boy clubs give the lad interest In the farm In the hope of gaining the pri2e he seeks the most virile and the most pro ductlve seed and strives to give ills patch the most intelligent and diligent tillage He thus becomes the inveterate enemy ot weeds He

convictions held Inexorable sway over him arid ended by breaking his neck This is a brutal fact but most facts are brutal And a brutal fact Is better than brutal fiction principally because the latter is unnecessary To say that Brown Was at times guilty of the methods of border warfare would be Only saying truth But to coinpare him with Quantrell and James is nd more just flable than to liken Daniel Boone to Simon Glrty because both coul 1 load their rifles as they ran To say what he was however Is more difficult than saying what he was not His death on a Virginia gibbet canonised him in the Noth and marked him as a fefon in the Bouhi He stole niggers and he fought and prayed Born one might say with a hatred for the peculiar institution he grew to believe that the extirpation of slavery was a mission confided to him personally and the strength of his conviction was such that he was able to lead 21 armed men against a sovereign State Naturally he met the fate of an outlaw

has been a great success said Harris a business man of New York who has just returned from Manila at the Arlington I jay this after observing the islands on my last trlpv and makinr a comparison of them then with a trip that I made eight years ago One of the greatest things that has been accomplished under American rule in the Philippines has been the education of the Filipinos Eight years ago there was hardly a free school in the Islands Today one can hardly go any where without seeing public schools4 Tho Filipinos contrary to an Idea prevalent in this country are anxious to have their children educated and they themselves want to learn all they can especially the English language The re suit of this is that thousands of little Filipinos In every section of the Islands are attending the public schools established by the American government and through the instruction thejr are receivingreceiving are becoming not only educated but loyal Americans I do not believe that there will ever be a revolution against American ruleln the Philippines Within this generation those Filipinos who fought against American occupation will all be dead and the coming generation of young FUIpJnos will by that time have grown up and hay been educated into loyalty to American rule While in the Islands I talked to many older Filipinos and I Was nof able to find a single one who would not agree that American rule has been beneficial to the FlllpJno though there are soma who took part in the war who still believe that the Philippines ought to ba an lndependentrepubllc Since the American occupation trade between the islands and the United States has Increased considerably Before the occupation the exports of Philippine products to the United States and lnj ports there from this country did not amount to very much annually 1 am sure that the Filipino people realize that American rule haa been and 3 will continue to be beneficial to their Jr country The great majority of the people of this country are dissatisfied with the Payne Aldrich tariff law declared Henry Mosher of Albany at the Shoreham tThls tariff bill eems tor have satisfied nobody exoept the favored
