LOSES POPULATION
Christiania Shows Decrease of 1,27e
in Year.

Christiania, the capital and me-
tropolis of Norway, shows decrease
in population since last year. The
recent census gives 222,373 inhabitants,
as compared with ,223,649 in 1904.
There is loss of 1876 people, which
is presumably explained by the fact
that the industrial depression in the
capital has driven the working classes
to seek employment in the smaller
towns, where the conditions have been
better, or to emigrate.

THE MAGAZINES

"The Simple Life" Not Needed in Amer
lca.-George P. Brett, president of the
Macmillan company, writing in The World
Today for May of the tendency to eulo-
gize the simple life," takes exception to
the preaching of this doctrine and says:
The conditions of life in America have been too
easy for us in the past. Our days begin in the
kindergarten with play and song and legend,
instead of honest toll. and real achievement, and
our later life is given up too much to senseless
amusements and sensational pleasures, with the
result, that our moral fiber has become fabby
and our public conscience has gone to sleep. Dis
honesty and malfeasaneea in public life no longer
shock and horrify us they should, and the
public press treats of the scandalous matters
above referred to merely from the standpoint of
sensationalisDls We no longer stand aghast that
such Il ings can be and have come to believe
that honesty is not even the best policy, in def
ance Of the early teachings Of our copybooks.
It seems to us that if we lived "the
simple life" we would be in just the state
Of mind that Mr.. Brett is arguing for. II
IS the life Of excitement and Complicated
sensations that dulls the moral sense.
