A Lofty South American City.

Oruro is city of 10000 inhabi-
tants, with a commercial future
which is of interest to everybody
who expects to do business in Boliv-
la either in the way of mining, rail-
reading or supplying merchandise.
The city is located in the heart OF
the great central plain at an altitude
of $4,000 feet and in the midst OF
an extensive mining region. II Is
about 575 miles distant from the
Pacific coast ports of Antofagasta
and Mollendo respectively. The
railway from Antofagasta has been
in operation for several years. The
through connection to Mollendo
across Lake Titicaca will be made In
July when the central section OF the
railway system which. the Speyer-
Bank Syndicate is constructing is
completed. Commercial travellers
and tourists will then have the op-
portunity of reaching Bolivia from
one port and leaving by the other
port. This through trip will be ad-
vantageous in the chance 1t affords
to note the resources and the COM
mercial possibilities of the country.
The population OF Oruro Is cosmo-
politan, including English Germans.
French, italians. Americans, Chill
cans and Peruvlans. This is due TO
its position as a mining center One
of the greatest tin mines Is in the
heart OF the city itself. other tin
and silver mines surround e..
Among the best-known mines are
the Socavon, the San Jose, the Itos
and the Mercedes. There are also
many smaller mines. The ore
from points distant $50
miles and more are brought into Or
uro by pack trains OF llamas and
burros. and then shipped out over
the railways. Small smelters are 10
20 10 miles distant at Machamaraca.
The political administration of the
department is centered at oruro.
which is the headquarters of the per-
feet and the subordinate officials.
An important branch OF the political
is the custom-houss.
Since an export tax IL levied on all
products, the Importance OF
an interior custom-housc at a COM
mon shipping center will be under
stood.
Hitherto the limitation on the
growth OF oruro has been the lack
OF railway facilities for the interior
points. This condition is changing,
and within a few years the city viii
become the railway crossroads OF
Bolivia. After the connection with
Lake Titicaca is completed the build
ing OF the branch lines will begin.
One of these starting from some
point on the existing railway be-
tween oruro and Uyuni Will reach
Potosl. Another line will run TO the
city of Coehabamba, which is Itself
an important commercial point and

,,be England Of 1850.

n,he annual reports OF the Regis
.ror.General of Births, Death and
Marriages may not at first sight APP
noor very promising material to the
novsnaper reader. But he makes g
-root mistake II he overlooks their
sr,nortance or the value OF the de-
auctions that can be drawn from
.heir masses of figures. From them
we are able dimly to forecast the flu
,ure and to see, as in a glass darkly
~ wlll be the social condition of
thts country in the next generation
when year after year, their statis-
,,cs reveal the same movement, there
oor be but little doubt of the ten
denotes at work or of the forces
.honins the destiny of Britain.
THE first fact that appears is that
,,s england of 1850 will have a sta
tIonary population. Unless there Is
an earthquake change the birth rate
will continue to fall. and by all ap-
".
II has been declining steadily ever
since 1876, when 1t reached the high
water mark of 36.4 per 1000 OF pop
ulatIon, to which II gradually moved
M from the period sometimes called
the Hungry Fortles." The figure
for England and Wales last year was
only 26.S births per 1000, so that In
81 years the loss has been 10.1 per
1000. Moreover. the fall last year
was the heaviest ever recorded in
any single year. We have, then, TO
face the prospect of an England
which will resemble France In that
the population will stand still or
only advance through immigration.
Hitherto some part of the loss of the
birth rate has been made good by
decrease In the death rate, In
which the fall between 1876 AMI
1907 has been from 20:9 to Is
deaths per 1000. But this is a pro-
cess which clearly cannot continue
A second fact which
appears from this concurrent decline
Of the birth and death rates is that
the England OF 1850 will be a
country with far more aged persons
and with far fewer young people.
There will probably be a falling of
n the general health and vigor OF
he community. and. perhaps. loss
" that ardent ideallsm which at
aches to youth and which Is the
most splendid virtue OF those who
nave not passed through the bitter
waters of disllluslonment.
Yet another feature OF this society |
which many of us VIII live to see,
will be the smallness OF its families
The large families will have died out |
except among the aliens. II is In the
alien districts OF London that the
largest families are to be found at |
the present moment. The law that
the inferior stock multlplies and kills |
the superior will be seen at work
more vigorously than ever. This is
one explanation OF the declining
birth rate among the working class
today, for British working class par
snts OF good antecedents, In the
words OF the American economist, |
General Francis Walker, used of the
native stock of the United States, |

came TO large copse on hill by the
roadside, through which several small
streams were trickling Rarely mad

so pulled up to admire its great beauty
and listen TO the invisible water sing

They noticed a small bnprd which VOID

the copse with n party of workmen'

BILL although he gave as his reason the
belief that there was already sufficient
law on the books to hold the railroads to
a proper accountability to the public.
But the word ''reactionary" may be
used in this Brownsville matter in the
sense that Mr.. Foraker and the senators
who hold with him would go back to the
old American proposition that before a
man is punished his guilt must be estab-
ltehed They will not in the case of the
colored troopers assume guilt. either on
the charge of shooting up. the town, or
on that of forming a conspiracy of silence
to shield guilt. They do not approve OF
the drumhead feature of the President S
action, and would undo it. In a word.
they would give the dismissed troopers q
square deal. Is not that a highly cred
liable attitude? Could men stand for a
farer or better principle?
The negro vote is important elsewhere
than in West Virginia. 1t is SO import
ant, indeed, in states essential to republi-
can success in November that the demo
cratic members of the Senate military
committee played very shrewd politics in
throwing their weight against Mr.. For
aker and his friends. Every vote of this
kind alienated from the Chicago nomi.

Why "reactionary'' republicans The

policies relating to the trusts and the rail-
roads. They think he has been driving
too hard. and has gone too far. If they
could they would write platform for

Wonderful this land of ours. Any one
may find
Just the sort of article that's suited tc
his mind.
If it isn't in the east, perhaps it's in the
west.
But somewhere in this land occurs the
style that pleases best.
1t is true of fruit and grain and blossoms
gay with charm,
And just as true in politics as out upon
the farm;
Here's any sort of man that you might
care to nominate
Step up, fellow-citizens, and choose your
candidate.
Short men and tall men, thickish men and
thin;
Men with neat mustaches or with whisk-
ers on the chin;
Men of wondrous eloquence and men OF
silence deep,
Men of knowledge limited and men OF
wisdom deep,
Men of worldly wealth so great they
couldn't count it all
And men whose cash supply is almost
pitiably small;
Men who toll and men who simply stand
around and wait
Step up, fellow citizens, and choose your
candidate!
