Railroads and Births.

A contributor in the Popular Sci
ence Monthly, after making careful in
vestigations, arrives at the conclusion
that railroads and manufactures Sc
riously reduce the birth rate. The
town selected to demonstrate the the
DRY was Chesterfield, Chesire County,
n. H., where the people are chiefly
typical New Englanders. The writer
says:
A careful consideration of the birth
records in question taking into account
the children of one marriage only, in
cases in which the father married more
than once, and excluding the still-born,
yields the following results:
/. The total number of births in 165
families from 1850 to 1910, was 1859, or
an average number of 1856 to each
family.
2. The total number of births in 1913
families, from 1910 to 1870, was 1925,
Or an average number of 1S5-328 to
each family.
3. The average number of births in
l40 families, from 1910 to 1910, was
6 1870.
These figures show that there was
marked decrease in the birth rate of
Che sterfeld families between 1910 and
1910, and that in the period of sixty
years, from 1910 to 1870, the decrease
was still more marked
If what Is true of this town, in this
respect. is also true of the majority of
New England towns, as is quite proba-
bic, it would appear that the birth rate
in New England families has steadily
deere ase since the introduction of rail
roads and tie extensive establishment

Shall the Republicans of Wisconsin have
"BOsS" Rule.

Is the delegation to the national con-
yention at Chicago to be handed over
to Boss Sawyer, Payne & Co. as their
political capital; or shall there be free
and fair expression of the will of the
Republican electors by holding separate
district conventions and sending dele
gates who win be independent of the
Bosses" and their machine? Shall
we profit by the unpleasant and disa-
greeable experiences of the past, and,
when we have the opportunity, adopt
purer and better methods which we
are confident will bring better results?
From present indications the Presi-
Dental election this year will be close.
1t is therefore the duty of all Republi-
cans to place the party in the strongest
possible position; and in order to ac-
complish this the Chicago convention
mustrepresent and not misrepresent the
party. Delegates should be elected
who will not override and misrepresent
the expressed wish of the Republicans
OF any district. That infamous princi-
pie of tyranny and oppression, unit rule.
met its death in the national convention
at Chicago in 1880, and was accorded
one of the grandest funerals known in
the worlds history. If our memory
serves us right, there were 446 pail
bearers and 300 mourners. Let us have
district conventions, and leave as little
chance as may be for quibbling and
contesting of delegations in the state or
national convention. Get it as near the
people as possible. thus securing popu-
lar expression. The people feel deep
interest in this matter, and neither the
State Central Committee nor any of the
political bosses who are not honest
enough to keep their hands off nor dis
honest enough to steal boldly, should
throw any obstruction in the way of
their holding district conventions. Let
the people speak for themselves (and
not the machine and decide who is
their candidate for President. / believe
that the Republicans of the third district
desire a district convention to send dele
gates to Chicago. 1t would give them
an opportunity to meet together and
harmonic past differences, and thereby
show their strength. They prefer acting
for themselves, instead of leaving their
sovereignty to be usurped by political
bawd.

A Bold Break for Liberty.

ST. LOUIS, March 49, Tiller, the ex-
press robber, made bold and desper-
ate attempt to escape Saturday after
noon. Since his arrival here he has
been in the hands of the express Off
Gals helping them to straighten out
their accounts, and has occupied room
on the fifth floor of the Lindell hotel,
adjoining that of Manager Morsman,
and a policeman has been on guard in
the hall outside. eWhile Mr.. Morsman
was very busy writing, no one else being
present, Tiller quietly passed out, opened
the window, and with the aid of the es
cape, descended to the balcony over the
main entrance of the hotel, which is
seven stories high, rushed through the
open window into the ladies bedroom,
thence into the hall of the hotel, but
not being acquainted with the house.

A Spartan Youth.

VIII Taylor, the son of the present
American Consul at Marseilles, was a
good deal like other boys while at
school in his old home at Hudson, Wis.
One day he called his father into the
library, and said:
"Pa, don't like to tell you, but the
teacher and ] had trouble"
What's the matter now?"
well, / cut one of the desks little
with my knife, and the teacher says 1
have got to pay 81 or take lickin'"
We'll, why don't you take the lick
ing and say nothing more about it? L
can stand considerable physical pain so
long as it visits our family in that form.
OF course, it is not pleasant to be
logged, but you have broken rule of
the school, and ! guess you'll have to
stand it. / presume that the teacher
Will in wrath remember mercy, and
avoid disabling you so that you can't
get your coat on any more"
"But, pa, / feel mighty bad about it
already, and if you would pay my fine
I'd never do it again. / know q good
deal about it now, aud / viii never d,
it again. A dollar isn't much to you,
pa, but it's a heap to boy who hasn't
got cent. If could make dollar as
easy as ven can, pa, I'd never let my
little boy get tiogged that way just to
save dollar If / had little Teller
that got licked bekuz | didn't put up
fer him I'd hate the sight of money al
ways. I'd feel as eff every dollar | had
in my pocket had been taken out of my
little kids back.
Well, now, I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll give you dollar to save you from
punishment this time, but if anything
of this kind occurs again III hold you
while the teacher licks You, and then
I'll get the teacher to hold you while
lick you. That's the way | feel about
that. If you want to go around whit
Ting up our educational institutions
you can do so, but you viii have to pur-
chase them afterward yourself. don't
propose to purchase any more damaged
school furniture. You probably grasp
my meaning, do You not? | send you
to school to acquire an education, not
to acquire liabilities so that Won can
come around and make an assessment
on me. ! feel a great interest in you,
Willie, but / do not feel as though it
should be an assessable interest. /
want to go on. of course, and improve
the property, but when l pay my dues
on it / want to know that it goes toward
development work. i don't want my
assessments to go toward the purchase
of school-desk with American hero
glyphics carved on it. hope you will
bear this in mind, my son, and beware.
1t will be greatly to your interest to
beware. II ! were in your place I
would put in large portion of my time
in the beware business"
The boy took the 81 and went
thoughtfully away to school, and no
more was said about the matter until
Mr. Taylor learned casually, several
months later, that the Spartan youth
had received the walloping and filed
away the 81 for future reference. The
boy was afterward heard to say that he
favored much heavier fine in cases Of
that kind. One whipping was sufficient,
he said, but he favored fine Of IS. 1t
ought to be severe enough to make it an
object. Bill Nye.
