Race Suicide Abroad.
(Pittsburp Dispatch.)

(PlttSburg DlSpatcn.)
If the President is alarmed about the
spread of race suicide in this country
what can he say to the latest returns
from England on the same subject?
That country touched its highest mark
in birth rate 80 years ago. Today only
three-fourths as many children IN pro-
portion to population are porn as III
1876. The marriage rate, too. has fallen
from u to 15h per 1000. Those who
do marry as rule enter Wedlock late
in life compared to SO years ago. The
theorists confess themselves at sea as
to the answer to the problem. The be-
lief that population varied with the
food supply has been proved untenable,
because food was never so cheap or
abundant in England as today, despite
the distress consequent upon depres-
sion.
One suggestion is that the cost of
living. aside from the price of wheat. is
the real cause. Rent, municipal rates
and national taxes, all higher than in
this generation, are set down as the
iGost powerful influence toward race
suicide. The generation of today
thinks longer before rushing into
matrimony than in the older days.
With large proportion of the Nation
having all they can do 20 earn Il living
individually there is natural reluc-
tance to assuming burdens of support
Ing family on the same slender in
come. American opinion has tended to
show that race suicide is most preva-
lent among the American population of
average elrningS-thOSe who were able
to get along comfortably but without
wealth or poverty. England's case ap-
pears to be a variation. If race suicide
has n different cause III each country
how is il ever going to be solved?

Christmas Money to Europe.

The New York Globe gives some in
teresting figures regarding the great
amount of money sent at Christmas
time to the old country" by the chill
dren Of the Old World who are now in
this land of prosperity. 1t shows that
the amount sent from New York in
money orders alone in two weeks from
Dec 2 to Dec. 16 was over four million
dollars, aud that was but a part OF
Uncle Sans Christmas gifts to the Eu-
ropean friends and relatives of his
adopted children. On a single day last
week the outgoing steamships carried
GO. 1881 money orders, representing near
~ $500, 900. The total for the two weeks
was $4,142, 100, representing 2o9,s'9
money orders and presumably an even
larger number of individual sharers of
this large sum- The cash amount in
eidcntally, is an increase of so per cent.
over that sent for the corresponding
two weeks last year.
1t would be interesting to know the
destinations of the various amounts
making up the total. Taking last Fri
days shipment as typical. however. the
distribution is found to be as follows:

Hunting Big Game in Maine.
(WaShingtOn POSt.)


Seven fatal Shootings have occur
red" That is the last line of a press
telegram from Bangor, on the Penob-
scot, summing up the results of the
bs-game hunting season in Maine,
which closed on Friday, the 18th in
slant. 1t appears that there We're
shipped through Bangor 1851 deer,
215 moose and 40 bears an increase
OF 423 deer over 1904, while the num-
Der of moose is the same. 1t is esti-
mated that more than 1900 licenses
We're sold this season, netting nearly
100000 for the furtherance of game
protection. After these figures the
mention OF "Seven fatal ShOotingS" is
thrown in as a mere bagatelle, as if
such tragedies We're of little moment
compared with the grand aggregate
of big game brought down by the
rifles of 100 amateur SportSmen and
the contribution of 100000 or there
abouts to the State treasury.
But the number of men killed in
that successful hunt for moose, deer.
and bear is just seven times the num-
Der that fell in a war that the State
of Maine waged all by herself. sol
itary and alone" against Great Britain
some sixty odd years ago, when that
spunky Commonwealth. small in pop
ulation. but as large in square mileage
as all the rest of New England was in
her early youth. That conflict is
known to history as the Madawaska
war. and it is thus designated in the
journals of Congress, to which body
not many years ago, came petitions
for pensions to the survivors. 1t was
Democratic war, Gov. John Fair
field, of whose administration ii WAS
chief feature. having been a Demo-
crat of the Old school. honest and
courageous. To protect his state
against threatened invasion, he called
out his troops, the indOmitable yeo-
moved them to the scene of the i'm
pending conflict. But as might have
been expected, the enemy did not show
up. Neither Canadian militia nor
British red-coat regulars ventured
within range of Gov. Fairfield's lines
of trusty fintlocks. After spending
q winter at the placid front the Maine
army was withdrawn. having lost but
one man. and the cause of his demise
was Identical with that of each Of the
seven fatalities of the biggame hunt
of 1905 accidentally shot"
1t is n notable fact that Maine has
increased her supply of solme md
fish almost incredibly by enacting and
enforcing protective laws. Scores of
men who were born and reared in
Maine without having seen a moose.
deer, or bear, except in captivity. go
back to their native state to take part
in the annual hunts. And this careful
preservation of game and fish is high
~ profitable. The money realized from
sale of licenses is insignificant COM
| pared with the aggregate expense ac-
count of all the hunters and fishermen.
But the list of homcides is quite too
long, and its reduction would seem to
| be practicable. Funerals and widows
ana orphans ought not to be results of
hunting animals that do not kill their
hunters.

Karl Brill on Football.

Football enthusiasts have scarcely
drawn a good full breath since the
body blow that was given the game in
last Sundays papers by Karl Brill. the
famous Harvard tackle. who declared
that the game WAS "mcre gladiatorial
combat and brutal throughout" and
that he is strongly in favor of its COM
plctc abolition" In response to these
criticisms Of Brill, the assertion has
been made that he is still sore over his
removal from the recent Harvard Yale
game during the last few minutes play,
and has put these statements out as his
reason FOR carrying out his threat made
at that time that he would never again
play football for Harvard.
Football experts appear to be pretty
well agreed that the Harvard coaches
made a most egregious blundcr in re-
moving Brill when they did but in
View OF the discipline that prevails in
football circles at the big universities,
anu tiie licl mat Brill Is himself not
only great player but one of ten
years experience. it would scarcely
seem as if this reason fully explained
his present position regarding the
game. While we do not believe that
this strong and virile game will ever
be permanently stricken from the list
OF our American sports or generally
banished from American colleges and
universities, the fact remains that
there is u growing desire throushor,
the country that something should he

Henry. not "Hendrick," Hudson,

The New York Tribune is trying hard
less habit of referring to the discoverer
Of the Hudson river as "HeEdrick'
tized as Henry" yet for generations
Americans have been writing and say
ing "Hendrick" Hudson. This habit
without legitimate foundation has
been emphasized afresh recently IN
"Hendrick Hudson Memorial Bridge
and THE Hendrick Hudson Tercenten-
airy Committee" The only excuse That
can be offered for using the Dutcn
equivalent is that Henry Hudson sailed
under Dutch auspices on one of his four
VOYAGES of discovery. The Netherland-
ers themselves knew him only as
Henry" Hudson.
The Tribune recalls that in 1859
Henry C. Murphy, while at The Hague
examining the old Dutch records for
data referring to Hudson, found in the
royal archives a Dutch copy of Hud-
sons contract with the directors of the
East India Company. The document
was appended to a manuscript history
of the company, prepared at its request
by F. van Dam, the counsel of the COM
pany from 1862 until his death, in 1906.
This copy opens thus: ION the eighth
day OF January in the year of our Lord
one thousand six hundred and nine, the
Directors of the East India Company of
the Chamber Of Amsterdam, of the ten
years reckoning, on the one part. and
Mr.. Henry Hudson, Englishman,
of the other part" Two of the signers
We're Netherlanders; the third, Henry
Hudson. In both cases the name was
spelled in plain English, Henry"
Hudson knew so little of the Dutch
language that his conferences with the
HOllanderS were conducted through the
medium of an interpreter. No better
tim" for correcting this absurd usage
could be found than on the eve of the
celebration of the 300th anniversary of
Hudson's voyage to this part of North
America.

According to Maine newspapers
which have be Ell looking up the records
OF executions for murder there have
been eleven hangings in that state
The first occurred in 1926 and the last
in 1850 1t is impossible to know
whether the crime of murder has in
creased because of the fact that there
has been no hanging since 1885, but the
same newspapers report twelve I'M
solved murder mysteries in Maine since
1870. No dates are given, but presum-
ably some of these twelve murders
occurred since the last execution 1t is
suggestive, at least, of a possible lack
of needed severity that since 1870 the
number Of UNPUBLISHED murderers has
exceeded the number of executions
since 1S25.-IiartfOrd Courant.
Perhaps so, and yet isn't it probably
true than in every other state of the
Union-although in most of them capt.
tai punishment has been constantly in
vogue-there have been more unsolved
murder mysteries and more unpun-
ished murderers since 1870 than there
have been legal executions since 1925?

The coal mine workers have left
their course in the hands of John
Mitchell and it is safe there. The
earlier talk of another great strike
in the coal regions seems to have died
out and there is every prospect that
the difference between the miners and
the operators will be peacefully ad-
justed. The agreement which resulted
from President Roosevelts famous in
prevention expires next April. When
the matter of a new agreement comes
up between the operatives and the
committee of which Mr.. Mitchell is
chairman there are three questions up
on which the result is likely to turn.
namely. the hours of work, wages, and
recognition. The last alone is regard
ed as dangerous. That the operators
will do anything seriously to leopard
ize the principles of the open shop is
scarcely probable, in view of their
own feelings on the subject and the
findings on this point of the arbitration
commission appointed by Mr.. Roose-
Welt. 1t is not yet evident, however,
that the miners will prove unreason-
able. Recognition of their committee
for the purpose of arriving at terms
on the substantial matters of time and
wages does not necessarily involve
closing the mines to any but members
of the union.

Great Britain is still a long way in

money orders taken last week went
that way representing more than three
times the sum sent to Italy. the next

the Emerald Isle. though much of this
again will doubtless find its way as

landowners.
1t is. perhaps, surprising to note that
the SwedeS have sent home more than
the Germans, and more so to learn
that each of these has sent more than
the Russians. This may be III part
accounted for by the fact that the
Russians in this country have been
heavily taxed recently by the demands
rade upon them in this same direc-
ton.
AS whole the exhibit reflects the
