Vital statistics in New England show
a continual decline in the birth rate Of
the native population. They indicate
that but for foreign re-enforcements
that part of the United States would be
losing ground like France-becoming
less populous from year to year. The
same tendency is at work IN the rest Of
the country. Everywhere 1t is notice
able that the people of native American
stock have small families. The ex-
lowed by their earliest white successors.
The pure blooded Yankee appears to be
a passing phenomenon on American
soil. We do not mention these facts
for the purpose of preaching sermon
upon the necessity of raising larger
families, but for more practical OBJ
ject. The American nation Is not a
race, but polty. 1t does not depend
upon blood. 1t Is the creature of its
institutions. The lawless Sicilian Ma
fiote, the fierce Hun, the cringing Rus
sian Jew, when subjected long enough
to the influence Of American surround
ings becomes Amercanized, and his
children are as good Americans as the
descendants Of the passengers of the
Mayf1ower. Therefore If we want to
save America from the national death
that is threatened by the decline in the
native birth rate we must keep our in
situations in such vigor that they can
assimilate the foreign immigrants and
their children, and turn what otherwise
would swamp our nationality into a
means OF its preservation. And the
most powerful of all the agencies work
ing toward that end is the public school
system. The public schools are useful
indeed necessary-for the production
Of intelligent citizens. That is an i'm
portant work, but 1t Is trivial compared
with the supreme work Of preserving
the American nationality. This is in
the most literal sense matter Of life
or death. 1t is question not merely
whether we shall have intelligent
Americans. but whether we shall have
any Americans at all. AS long as our
splendid school system continues to
bring up our children of all nationalities
In the traditions of American prin-
ciples and American patriotism the re-
public will be safe And it can be saved
in no other way.

BILE for resting as those now In use.
The attachment to the tree is made by
ball and socket joint and the two
hooks, with the suspending cables, the
joint allowing the hammock to swing
literally In substantially the same
plane. BY providing duplicate heads
for suspending the hammock 1t can
be moved around the tree into another

ways keeping under the shady side Of

Coleridge Was Verbose.

Coleridge's yerbosity is illustrated by
himself in a letter among the Black
wood correspondence. While in the
company Of his friend and faithful host,
DR.. Gilman. he had fainting fit. His
first words on recovering from it were:
what a mystery we are! What a
problem is presented in the strange
contrast between the imperishability of
our thoughts and the perishable, fuga-
cious nature of our consciousness"
Then he heard his friend say: THANK
heaven, it is not apoplexy" Conceive
a mans pouring out this stream of
words-and such long ones-on recover
ing from fit!

PERSONS who are inclined to write
slanderous or abusive letters will do
Well hereafter not to dictate such ut
terances to Stenographers. The Mary
land Court of Appeals has handed down
decision-the first in which any State
court of last resort has passed upon
TINS Notwithstanding that Islander,
Wnen dictated to stenographer, is
published" as effectively as if it had
been printed in newspaper, and hence
the writer becomes liable to punish
ment under the libel laws. The conf
dental nature of the stenographer's
position does not alter the case The
theory that the amanuensis who re-
ceives libelous dictation and reduces
1t to typewriting Is mere impersonal
machine Is set aside by the Maryland
court. BY long established principle
OF common law the act of publication
does not depend upon the number of
persons to whom the matter is COM
municated. Blackstone says the COM
munication of a libel to one person is
publication in the eye of the law. An
other old definition is to the effect that
the publication of defamation consists
in communicating it to a third person.
The laws of the different States vary
somewhat in their definitions of libel.
but it Is probable that the Supreme
Court of Illinois or of any other State
would reach the same decision as that
of the Maryland court on this point.
The principle laid down is sound. The
widespread employment of stenogra-
piers makes this legal point one of i'm
portance. The Maryland decision
should have a deterrent effect upon
everybody who is tempted to write
scurrilous letters through the medium
of an amanuensis. 1t will be safer for
the offender to write such letters with
his own hand, or, better still, not to
write them at all.

He Intended to Pe Kind but Was Mis-
under stOod.
He Is fine old gentleman, every one
who takes daily trips on the - street
car line will say so. He is kindly con-
siderate of the rights of his fellow pas
sengers, and, though he usually occu-

insists upon having, but because his fell
