PORTLAND. Ore. Feb. 20.-Did you

Portland has gained the name of the

No Race Suicide in America
Chicago Tribune.)

With his sturdy love of the home and
his adherence for the increasing loose
ness of the marriage bond President
Roosevelt may have unwittingly given
ktrength to the growing impression
that the American race is threatened
with a suicidal impulse. In his adj
dress before a committee of church,
men the president spoke of the dimin-
ishing birth rate among the old native
American families as one of the most
unpleasant and dangerous features of
the times.
In spite of the decline of the large
family the danger OF race suicide may
be easily exaggerated. 1t is true that
the last census returns show conclus-
lively that the native American stock is
decreasing in the New England states.
In New Hampshire the excess of deaths
over births among the white popula-
ton whose parents We're native born
| was 10.4 for every thousand inhabi-
| tants: in the New England group the
percentage was Ia. New York showed
slight increase among the native
| Americans and combining New York
| with the New England states the rate
of increase among the native stock was
but one-tenth what it was among the
inhabitants of foreign parentage.
But this tendency towards the elm
nation of the "old American families
is confined to the northeastern states
mentioned. In the western states and
in the country at large there is no par
ticular cause for anxiety over the fu-
ture of the native American race. While
1t does not propagate at so rapid q
rate as the population of foreign borr
parentage yet it increases fully as fas
as the changed economic condition.

In the country at large the rate o.

One of the most vicious bills that
has thus far been introduced in the
State Legislature is House bill No.
195, known as the tax dodgers bill. !"
This bill was drafted by Auditor of
State Sherrick, and should it pass the
State Auditor would be empowered
to have deputies in each county to
collect sequestered taxes, thus denying
the several counties in the State the
right to look after this item of taxa
ton. All sequestered tax collections
would be centralized in Indianapolis,
and the Auditor of State would have
full swing-it would also mean a rake
off of about 100000 a year for that
officer. But the bill is very unpopular
outside of Indianapolis and will hard
ly become a law. Petitions are pour
ing in from all sections of the state
protesting against the passage of the
measure.

CIGARETTES BARRED IN INDIANA.
Senate Passes the Most Drastic Law Ever
on Statute Books.

Indianapolis, Feb. 3,-Senator
Parks bill making 1t unlawful to
manufacture. give away or even own
cigarette wrappers. or cigarette to-
bacco, was passed In the senate today
by a vote of 35 to 7. The following
senators spoke in support OF the
measure: T. T. Moore, Ulrey, Roche
and Ganiard.
Senator Parks defended his bill in
an emphatic address. He declared
that reliable scientific investigation
demonstrates that cigarette smoking
has iBflicte great injury, especially
upon the youth Of the country. The
additions addicted to the evil habit,
he said are degenerate to the last de-
gree, their people being dwarfed
physically and mentally. Records of
the insane asyluns, he pointed out,
show that the condition of many of
the inmates is due to the iniquitous
practice. The state, he concluded,
should enact legislation that will save
it from the dread that surely follows
addiction to the monstrous vice.
Senator Ulery contended that the
cigarette smoker tramples upon the
personal liberty OF every man within
fifty yards when he lights cigarette.
He said the habit was vicious and
should be stopped. Senator Rouche
said the school teachers everywhere
are for the measure.
The bill prohibits cigarette smok'
ling. There can be no making, sell
ling, giving or keeping of cigarettes
under any circumstances. For frs
offenses, fine of from s25 to $50 II
imposed aud for second and each sub
sequent offense this fine is doubled
and to this may be added six months
Imprisonment in the county jail.
