late President James A. Garfield, who
has been acting as Civil Service Com
missioner. Mr.. Garfield will be known
as Commissioner of Corporations, and
his duties will be to investigate the or

The internal commerce OF the United
States is now reckoned at S20,0O0,0OO,-
coo, which is equal TO the foreign COM

IRISH ARE DIMINISHING.
Returns of the British Registrar for
the Emerald Isle.

the Emerald Isle.
The return of the British registrar
general for Ireland indicates that if the
ratio of decline in the population for
the next fifty years is the same as dur
ing tie last half century there will be
very few Irish people left-at least in
Ireland. The number of births, which
in 1891 was los, 116. fell last year to
100, 976, or nearly 5000 less than the
average of the ten years. Marriages,
%, 564 in number. were slightly over
the average, and deaths totaled 1919,
as compared with 5000 in 1891 and
| 90.644 in 1892, and q decennial aver
age of S3,604 The number of emf
grants. which ten years ago was 3d.
623. fell to 39613, as compared with a
ten years average of 1883. The situ-
alton will be understood by comparing
the population figures calculated to me
middle of last year with those of Ire
lands period of maximum population
and the figures for 1924, when the col
lection of vital statistics was first sys-
tematized. These returns show the fol-
lowing results:
Year. Male. Female. Total.
1924. -. .3.4TI. $50. 3.606.320 TOTS. LAG

1901. .2.194,T16 2.250.014 4,445,630
From these figures it will be seen
that the population in the middle OF
last year was 2,6S2.5 $40 less than it was
seventy-eight years ago, and If the es-
timated population in the middle of the
present year., 425. 000-be compared

1t causes confusion in the lay mind because the
popular conception of a contagious disease is
connected with such diseases as scarlet fever and
smallpox, in which very limited contact may
result in infection. Too much emphasis cannot

AFTER trying prohibition fifty-ons
years-since 1862-the people Of Yer
mont have thrown of the incubus and
declared for. the more rational and
feasible plan of license. The legis-
lature called an election, which was
held one day last week. The majority,
however, was not large-about 1000
in 10000 votes. Some day North
Dakota will get out of the now very
small list of freak states that are
working under prohibition laws. The
way it was brought about is this: An
Independent republican candidate for
governor was put up at the election
last fall by the license people, and,
with three tickets in the field, he ran
away ahead Of the democrat and came
near beating the republican nominee.
That set the republican majority In
the legislature to thinking, and they
quickly called an election. with the
result above stated.

In Emmons county, y few weeks ago,
when the news came that jury in
the federal court at Fargo had, in the
