Last year there were over 1900
homicides committed in the United
States, a considerable increase over the
previous year. Undoubtedly there was
also an increase in other crimes. The
statement is made that with the single
exception of the Italians the American
people are the most homlcIdal nation
ir the civilized world. The indictment
against this country is emphasized by
a comparison with the criminal statis-
tics Of other leading nations. In Italy
the homicides number 105 per 100000
Of inhabitants per year; In this coun-
try last year the ratio was 115 per

Andrew Carnegie doubtless obtains
great satisfaction from his possession
of immense wealth, but he doubtless
obtains still greater satisfaction from
his occasional success as a speaker and
writer. Unquestionably he would rather
be numbered among the great artists,
the great musicians or the great au-
thors Of the world than he would
among the great millIonaires. The ap-
plause which greeted his really clever
little speech at the Mark Twain din
ner was more grateful to him than all
the power which his wealth confers
upon him. After all there are some
successes in the world that are better
to be desired than the attaining of
much money.

The use of large sums of money in
elections is admittedly a menace to
free institutions. Heavy contributors
are generally prompted by desire for
individual gain. The interests thus
represented are enabled to dominate
political organizations, centralizing
power and deprlving the many of their
political rights for the benefit of the
few. 1t Is useless to assert that prac-
tices Of this nature can not be elimin-
ated. England has demonstrated the
possibilities in this direction so con-
clusiyely as to leave dissenters no
ground on which to stand. The corrupt
practices act in force there places re-
strictions upon candidates and their
supporters which make the use of large
amounts impossible. Responsibility Is
fixed with certainty that leaves no

There can be no question that the
prevalence Of certain diseases has In
creased during the last half century.
Conspicuous among these are diabetes
and insomnia, both OF which are large
ly due to the mental stress Of a hard
er struggle for existence. The In
creased consumption Of alcohol and
the free use Of narcotics are also re-
sponsibls for many morbid conditions
unknown to our harder forbears. But
in comparing the present prevalence
Of diseases with that Of the past there
are several factors for which due al
lowance Is often not made. One Of
these Is that our forefathers died, as
rule. at considerably younger age
than their descendants; II they did not
perish by the sword they were moved
down from time to time by the plague
and other devastating epldemlcs. In
this way they escaped many OF the
diseases not only Of old age. but Of
advanced middle life. Again. II must
not be forgotten that each generation
represented to a much larger extent
than Is now the case the survival OF
the fittest. Most OF the weaklings died
in childhood. The triumph of modern
hygiene is that 1t has preserved a
large proportion of these lives.

The greatest problem of education
unsolved to-day relates to girls. Here
tofore their education has been mere
copy OF that long ago established for
boys. Some day a genius will come
along and conceive thoughts which
shall form the basis of an education
which shall help girls to all their best
possibilities without dissipating their
strength on lines of effort established
for natures in some respects entirely
different.
