In connection with the general cele-
bration. next January, of the 20Oth an
niversary of the birth of Benjamin
Franklin. it is announced that John H.
Harjes, an American banker living in
Paris. will present for erection in the
French capital a reproduction of the
celebrated Franklin statue in Post
Office square, Philadelphia. 1t will be
fitting gift and patriotic service
tor France hOnors the memory of
Franklin, and this country is never
likely to forget the great service rem
dered it by Franklin while he was its
representative at Paris. 1t is also an
interesting announcement that Presi-
dcilt Roosevelt will be one of the
speakers at Philadelphia celebration
of the Franklin bicentennial. Some
body has pointed out that Frank
lin and Roosevelt have many
points in resemblance. Certainly
Franklin was an exponent Of
the strenuous life after RDosevelt's
own heart, and probably no great
American has more resembled ROose-
welt in the variety of his attachments
ana his success only along utterly diff
ferent lines of endeavor than did
Franklin.

Race suicide in the United states Is
real condition, not theory. and Presi-
dent Roosevclt's warning Is thoroughly
yindicated in an official bulletin issued
from the Census Bureau today. ms
Bulletin presents an analysis by Pro1-
sor Walter +. Wilcox. of Cornell Uni-
yersity, Of data obtained In the twel1th
census, but it makes no claim to tapu-
latinr the exact birth rate Of the coun-
try.
The author says at the outset that
enc census can furnish all the inform
alton needed to compute the birth rate,
or number Of births in a year to each
thousand persons, nor has this inform
alton been obtained for the United
States, or any considerable part of 1t,
by any other agency
But apart from the inherent difficul-
ties of determining the birth rate from
census figures, Professor wilcox re-
CARDS the proportion of children as be-
ing in some respects a better field OF
study, since it shows not merely the
number of children who are born, but

bears to the total population, or to

the South to make an appeal for less

Biddef ,rd's Fiftieth Anniversary.
(Biddeford Journal.)

Nb1uuelOTu JOuTlldl.)
The fiftieth anniversary of the in-
corporation Of Biddeford as municip-
atty. soon to be duly celebrated in con-
ncction with a merchants carnival. is
bound to be an event of great interest
Biddeford is the metropolis of York
county; and while il is neither the
county scat nor centrally located with
in the county. vet the number of its
population am the size of its prosperous
Industries, together with the fact that
it is the home of the only daily news
papers in the county, combine to make
it the focusing point for the greater
part of the Industrial and social activ-
ity in the county. Hence it is that
throughout the whole of this section Of
the State the anniversary will be a
thing of importance. With favorable
weather the event will draw thousands
Of people from all over the county and
it is safe to predict we think. that if
those planning to attend are not pre-
vented by Indictment conditions the three
days including the anniversary and
carnival will be the biggest the city has
ever seen. - The anniversary. being the
rounding out of half century Of cor
porate existence as city. during which
there has been constant growth in
numbers and wealth. is worthy Of
special celebration. Biddeford's re-
cord. while not a phenomenal one since
1t adopted its charter in 1866, has been
marked by a steady progress. We have
never gone backward. nor have we

about 1000 in 1855 We have grown to

ing the same period our wealth has in
creased from s4,50O.0OO to almost So. 900. :

Inc city is still growing too and 1t has

most probable that it's maximum

THE DECREASE in BABIES.
The Census Shows Declining Proportion Of Children
to Adults in the United States.

subsequent censuses, while the number
OF children under ten is given as far
back as the census Of 1880. The au-
thor says II Is possible also to estimate
the number of children under ten years
of age for the earlier censuses.
Some Of the conclusions reached by
Professor Wilcox may be summarized
as follows:
At the beginning Of the nineteenth
century the children under ten years Of
age constituted one-third, and at the
end less than one-fourth, Of the total
population The decrease in this pro-
portion began as early as in the decade
1910 to 1920, and continued uninterrupt-
ed, though in varying rates. in each
successive decade. This Of itself, how
ever in the opinion Of the author. is
not enough to prove a declining birth
rate. as the decrease in the proportion
Of children in the total population may
indicate merely an increase in the aver
age duration of life and the consequent
survival of q larger number OF adults.
But by taking the proportion of chill
dren to women of collaborating age,
Professor Wilcox finds a more salts
factory index Of the movement Of the
birth rate. Between 1850 and 1860, the
earliest decade for which figures can be
obtained, this proportion increased.
But since 1860 it has decreased without
interruption. The decrease has been
unequal from decade to decade. but if
twenty-four periods are considered it
has been most regular. In 1860 the
number of children under five years of
age to 1000 women fifteen to forty-nine
years of age was 634: in 1900 1t was on
ly Az. One is thus led to the conclu-
sion that there has been a persistent
decline in the birth rate since 1860.
