The United States census bureau has
just issued its sixth annual report OF
mortality statistics. For the registra-
ion area of 1905, which at the census
OF 1900 embraced only about two
fifths of the population of the coun-
Try, and number of deaths reported
was 545, 533, or 1872 in each 1000 of
population. The actual number of
deaths was slightly less than that re-
turned for the preceding year. SOL, 354,
but exceeded the number registered
for any other year since the annual
reports were instituted. The death
rate of 1872 per ! 900 of population re-
ported for the United States in 'e5
is lower than that Of Ireland, Germany
or Italy. but higher than that of Eng
land. and Wales, Scotland. or the
Netherlan Is.

Nine big steamers, specially char
tered for the trade, are now on their
way from the United States to Rus
sian ports ON the Black and Baltic
seas. This fleet is bearing 5000 car
loads of harvesting machinery manu-
featured in this country. representing
value of fully 80, 600, 600. In addi-
tion to these complete shiploads, par
tial cargoes will be forwarded by the
regular line boats, which will bring
the total shipments to north and south
Russia close to 100, 600 tons for this
season. In no other line of manufac-
tured goods has the percentage Of ex-
ports TO foreign countries increased
SO greatly of late years as in farm
machinery,fn which the United States
leads the world.

Both medical and lay observation
seem to demonstrate that continued
cold weather, with temperature how
ering about zero. develops more fatal
illness than winter weather with the
temperature at and above the freezing
point, such as this section had up to
the middle OF January or later. So
great percentage of human energy is
needed for maintaining the heat of the
body under ordinary circumstances
that any additional demands for heat
rob the vital organs of just so much
energy. and those who are not strong,
especially aged persons, are much
more likely to die from diseases in
eident to winter weather during long
periods of extreme cold. than when
soft weather prevails. Muggy
weather may bring grip, but zero
weather is more likely to bring death.

rangement can be made. The question

WATCH THE BOOK TRUST

1t is 1umored that the book trust is
trying to do something to the present
text book commission. This school year
closes the f1ve-year period for which
the present common school books were
contracted for, and next May new con-
tracts will be made for another five
years. The book trust, it is rumored,
does not exactly like the, present com
mission and is scheming to get 1t
changed in order to get a commission
that it can come nearer manipulating.
The present commission has never
been confirmed by the senate, and for
some reason Governor Hoch has not
sent the names of its members up for
confirmation by the present senate
That is what makes the book trust
hopeful.
AS the State Journal stated during
the campaign, the personnel of the most
of Governor Hoch's present commits
sion could scarcely be improved. Such
men as President Hill of the State
Normal, former State superintendent
Frank Nelson and George w. Winans.
Willard Lyon, former county superin-
tendent of Lincoln county, and others
on the commission are not only men
of the highest personal integrity, but
they are men of practical school ex-
perience, of good judgment, and they
know what the common schools of
Kansas need.
1t is stated that the book companies
this year propose to submit their best
books for adoption in Kansas, some
thing not all of them have done here
tofore. Ten years ago, when the law
was first adoped, nearly all of the book
companies refused to submit books and
the state had hard work securing good
books. 1t was expected that this would
discredit the state text book law. But
it didn't. Five years ago a good many
companies submitted books but not all
of them submitted their best ones. 1t
is reported that this year, however,
the best books the market affords will
be offered to the state. and with
good commission theSe is no reason
why Kansas should not have frst-class
text books the coming year.
The book trust controls some splen-
did works, and If it offers the best in
certain branches it should, of course,
have the contracts; but undue methods
of securing contracts should be guard
ed against.
1t may be that the book trust rumors
are false alarms and that no efforts
will be made to knock out the present
commission, but it would be we'll for
those interested to see that no such
effort is successful. even if it is made
