ADULT MALE POPrLATION AND
SCHOOL POPULATIONS.
An Important factor III d"t"rm-
ming states ability to educate

wealth produccrS) to children of
school age. Whcr" the proper
tion is small each adult male must
not only bear a larger part of the
burdcnof school sthan where
it is largo, but also a larger part
of the burden of government and
of support Of the non producing
portion of the population. The
extent to which children of school
age may be freed foom labor II
also involved. Where the pro
portion is small it becomrs neC"s-
sary for children to earn part
or all of their living earlier than
where it is larger
The following figures, calcu
lated from statisticsin the United
States Census, show that from
this standpoint the burden of
education in the Southern states
is much heavier than in any other
sections Of the country: In Ten
nesScp there are 81 adult males
to every 100 children between five
and twenty years old; in Vir-
ginia, 63. North Carolina, -;
South Carolina 81; Georgia, 80:
Mississippi, So; Texas, 66; Ohio,
81: Michigan, 81; New York,
1902: Rhode Island, lO2: Massa
chussetts, 1913; Connecticut, 100;
Washington. 125; California, l20;
Montana, 1876. In the states Of
the East, North and West the
proportion of adult males to chill
dren of school age isfrom twenty
five to one hundred and fifty per
cent larger than in the Southern
states. In the Southern states
as whole, but not including any
state north Of the Potomac, there
are 80 adult males to every 100
children of school age; in the
North Central states, 81: in the
North Atlantic states, 80; in the
Western states, ll6.
In North and South Carolina
the average man must provide
for the support and education of
twice as many children as the
average man in Massachusetts or
Connecticut, and three times as
many as the average man in Mon
tana; the average man in the
Southern states for almost twice
as many children as tbs average
man in the North Atlantic or the
Western states. 1t should also
be remembered that one third of
the 80 men in the Southern states
are negro men, possessed Of little
property and doing, as rule, a
low and unremunerative grade of
labor, and nearly one-ffth the
remainder are illiterate white
men, whose labor is Of q similar
grade.
If we had as much taxable
property as the people Of the
East, North and West, still the
burden of educating our children
would be as heavy again as
theirs.

In his address at the University Of Vir-
ginia President Roosevelt dwelt some
what upon an idea he has frequently
urged, that in the interest Of peace and
good will between the United States and
other nations II is important that we
shall be prepared to protect ourselves
in any emergency. 1t is not by any
means new idea. 1t was presented by
our first president and has been ap-
proved by numerous American states
men since The fact that It has been re-
peatedly advanced by Mr.. Roosevelt may
seem to imply that he doubts whether
the American people are as fully alive
to the necessity of preparation against
possible war as they should be and that
therefore it is the duty of the head of
the government to impress this upon
them at every favorable opportunity.
This the president does with charac-
desires that the United States shall pur-
sue a policy that will be fair and just
and without offense to any other nation.
We should handle ourselves with
view never to wrong the weak and never
to submit to injury from the strong"
Our country should always behave with
consideration for others. 1t should never
speak in a manner that is insulting or
might wound the susceptibilities of any
foreign nation, never threaten and never
boast, but when we feel that our in
terest and our honor demand that as
nation we take a certain position, to
take that position and then make it
good"
Certainly there are no Americans with
any true feeling of patriotism who will
not approve this. The constant aim and
endeavor of this country in the future as
in the past should be to cultivate the
most friendly and cordial relations with
all the rest of the world. More than any
other nation this republic stands for in
ternational peace and good will. All our
interests dictate this and it's encourage
ment has been our policy from the foun-
dation of the government 1t must con-
tinue to be the policy of the United
States but its observance does not for
bid placing ourselves in a position to
command respect for our rights every
where and to insure protection for those
rights If they shall be assailed.
The United States will probably never
need a large standing army. 1t must,
however, have a strong navy and it is
this that President Roosevelt urges
should be provided There are some who
think that he has an extravagant view
Of what is necessary in this respect, but
we believe thoughtful men generally
who understand the new conditions
growing out Of the events Of the last five
years, concur with the president and
would have our sea power increased un
til it shall be sufficient for any exigency
that may be thought possible. The build
ing up of such navy, as was said by
Mr.. Roosevelt, is the surest guaranty Of
peace. the best insurance against war
but If war should come It would be o
guaranty that it would end "leaving un
dimmed the record upon which is writ
ten the feats of Americans in arms"

MARvELs OF OUR RAILWAYS.
How the United States Compares with
the Rest of the World.
New YnrlS World


The report of the Interstate Commerce
commission upon American railways is a
tale Of marvels.
We have 2s2,4n miles of track, of which
about 5000 mites are doupie track and
sidings. All the rest of the world has but
three miles to our two. This country has
eighteen feet of railway for every inhabI-
tant; in the world outside there are eight
cen inches per inhabitant.
It has probably cost to build and equip
our railways about 10000 per mile, repre-
sented by $500 900 in bonds. Promoters
profit and other original and incidental
water" are represented by 5000, 1000 in
stock Nearly half this stock pays no divi-
dends, but the remaining portion yields
enough so that the average for the whole
is 3h per cent-a fine profit considering the
origin of the securities.
Some of the greater lines earn twice or
thrice the dividends they pay, but put
surplus earnings into 'betterment." a con-
servative policy quite opposed to that fol-
lowed in England, where extravagant divi-
dends have been paid and improvements
made by new capital until 1t is difficult to
pay dividends at all. The total capital of
British railways is $3.50, 900 per mile; of
American roads $4,000 per mile. Since 1896
the dividends of the principal British roads
have decreased; on American roads they
have increased
Our engines are comparatively few--be-
cause they are the most powerful known.
Though but A,22S in number they haul in a
year $40 S7s sos passengers and Ill 0S9. 347 tons
of freight For every passenger car there
are forty freight cars. We are a stay-at-
home people. Instead of travelling we send
goods.
In one respect our railways are shame
fully inferior. There were 345 passengers
killed last year In this country, none in
Great Britain. though the usual number of
employees were killed or injured there. Here
one employe out Of every twenty-four was
injured within the year. However as the
average passenger must trav el the equiva-
lent of 23OO times the circumference of the

This is the date for the meeting of

Panama canal treaty and it will doubt
less soon be known what the fate of
that convention is to be. According to
the recent reports from Washington the
president is not disposed to submit to
unreasonable delay on the part of
Colombia in acting upon the treaty, but
our government is not likely to take
any course that might be regarded as
coercive, though 1t perhaps might with
propriety indicate its desire to have the
matter settled as soon as possible.
There is said to exist in official circles
