A recent investigator has compiled
some statistics which would seem TO
indicate n rather alarming physical
deterioration IN tho British people.
The figures, based upon the recruiting
and medical reports OF the army. show,
for example, That whllo in 1880 the
proportion Of men IN tho army under
five feet Ave inches In height was 100
in n thousand, the following year II
had risen TO 115 IN n thousand; IN 1891
TO III; In 1893 10 1872. The proportion
OF men measuring less than thirty
three inches around the chest was, In
1880, seventeen In 1000; I'm 1898 Il was
twenty-three. In 1871, 1894 per 1000
recruits were under 100 pounds IN
weight; in 1900 the proportion had in.

THE GOOD CITIZEN.

In his address at Syracuse
President Roosevelt defined the
good citizen as a man who
"whatever his wealth or his
poverty. strives m%anfully to do
his duty to himself, to his family,
to his neighbOr and to the state"
1t is a definition that will be
accepted by every one as correct,
but the standard set up is so
frequently departed from that it
sometimes seems to find little
recognition. This is particularly
true in respect to more strictly
public duties.
Public duties seem to some
persons to pertain to matters
that are far off. The govern
ment at Washington, forlnstance.
attracts more attention than the
governments nearer home. State
governments and city govern
ments are neglected as institu-
tons that can take care of them
selves, and yet they come closer
home TO every citizen than the
government at Washington.
The duties of a good citizen to
the state Of the municipality in
which he lives are not of a
character that may with safety
be laid aside during most of the
year, to be taken up only at
great intervals. They are ever
present and ever pressing duties,
and President Roosevelt did
we'll to direct attention to them
IN common with other oblipa-
tons of citizenship.
We will have better govern
ment, wiser laws and a more
just administration, the more the
people OF all classes keep their
obligations of citizenship before
them at all times. Denver Re
publican.
