rate and general health conditions.
For the year 1907 there were 15s
births, 80 males and rs females.

health-seekers and many of them resi-
dents only a short time. Seven died

fever, three of pneumonia, one of ac-
cidental g%unshot, two of suicide, and
the rest of scattering Count
ing RoswelPs population at 1000, the
death rate was 1876 tc the thousand,
but lot counting the tubercular pa
[tients, practically all of whom could
hardly be classed .as residents, the
death rate was only 9.35 to the thous-
and, which is very low.
During the year there were 81 cas-
es of typhoid fever in town, most OF
it very light, % cases of measles, 6
of diphtheria and 4 scarlet fever. All
of the contagious diseases, there were
four deaths from typhoid fever and
one each from the other three. The
mortality for the whole United States
by typhoid fever was 1925 per 1000.
and for Roswell 4 per 1000, which
shows that conditions were only lit.

three girls; fourteen deaths, 8 from

the present time is to press for pas
sage Senator Beveridge's tariff COM
mission bill.
These views are also reflected by
the Drovers' Journal which declares
there is now united effort of live
stock men being put forth to impress
on congress the urgent necessity OF
a broader foreign outlet for our live
stock surplus. The most difficult
point seems to be to have the ques-
ton considered strictly on its merits
and free from partisan prejudice. If
the Beveridge bill promises such a
consummaion it is entitled to be heard
whether it is found expedient to pass
1t before or after the presidentia1
election. The tariff is nothing after
all but a business proposition and
there is no reason why the business
heads in congress and out of it can
not agree on its modification through
reciprocal arrangements or otherwise.

LNCoLN,s BIRTHDAY.

Throughout the breadth and almost
| the entire length of these United
States the people are generally COM
memorating today with appropriate
exercises the birth of Abraham Lin
coin which occurred ninety-nine years
ago in a primitive hut on a little farm
in what was then the wilderness of
Kentucky.
1t is happy, a beneficial custom
which has developed in this country
the annual observance of the birth
days of men who have adorned high
stations in the nations gift. The use
fulness of their services 70 their coun-
try, and to mankind in general. is
necessarily recalled and the en-
couragement OF their example is
brought forcibly to mind.
There is no more ennobling in
1uence than is the contemplation of
the lives OF great and good men and
the contemplation of the life and the
work of Abraham Lincoln should
prove previously profitable to all. His
is an heroic figure in the history of
this republic, perhaps the most heroic
figure of them all and as President
Roosevelt writes in the current num-
Der of Golfers Weekly: This man
both lived and died that the nation
might grow steadily greater and bet
ter, and the only reward he accepted
was that which came in the shape of
the chance to render service to his
fellow countrymen."
Surely every man and every woman
in this country. and throughout the
world can profit greatly by a con-
temptation of the life or this wonder
ful. though simple man. For as has
been most truly said; HE is the
gentlest memory of our world"
Perhaps at this time it would
be we'll to say word about
the plans which are already under
way for the national celebration of the
centenary of Lincoln's birth which
will be held a year from today at the
birthplace of Lincoln, the historic
farm Of 110 acres which has already
come into the possession Of the Lin
coin Farm association. In the GEN.
ter of this farm this association pro-
poses to lay the tribute of the people
of the nation to the great liberator,
broad green plaza with a memorial
hall at one end and a simple shaft of
granite at the other to mark the
ground On which stood the first home
Of him whose memory is the strong
est, tenderest tie that binds all hearts
together now, and holds all states be-
meath the nations flag" -..,s.---- -
Funds for this fitting memorial are
to be secured by popular subscription
which may be forwarded to Clarence
H. Mackay, of New York city, the
treasurer of the ASSOCIATION. Sub
scriptions will be gladly accepted in
sums of from 25 cents upward and
that all may be encouraged to contri-
butte to the fund. even if their con-
tributions are mites, it is proposed not
to make public the names of the sub
scrfbers. They will all be enrolled on
parchment, however, and placed in
the museum of things that belonged to
Lincoln ana his family which have
been collected and which will be
placed in the memorial hall that is to
be erected.

FARMERS AND RECIPROCITY.

Mr.. Alvin H. Sanders, a prominent
live stock authority, calls attention in
the Live Stock journal to some feat
ures of the reciprocity question
which affect agricultural interests.
While, for example, Secretary Root
is making little headway in his effort
to secure a deal with France, other
countries he finds are arranging such
deals and to that extent appear to be
getting ahead of us. Canada has
just signed a treaty with France un-
der which she gets practically all of
her farm products including live
cattle and meats, into that country
at minimum tariff rate. Even if
Secretary Root can induce the French
to open their ports to our cattle we
shall be compelled to pay the maxi
| mum tariff, which in the case of the
cattle Paris would want, would
| amount to discrimination against
the United States of about $40 a
| head.
| Germany is also negotiating a SIM
| liar treaty with Canada and the do
minion may beat us to that market If
congress does not act. If Canada and
Argentine Republic both close their
deals with Continental Europe we
shall be distanced in the race for
| those valuable markets. Mr. Sanders
| concludes that while times are boom
ing at home we perhaps have no cry
ing need for those outlets, but he adds
that the markets for the past six
weeks demonstrate that some good
foreign buyers at leading yards would
have put a lot of money into the
pockets of the people and he insists
that 1t Is not political question bui
one Of plain business.
AS to tariff revision Mr.. Sander,
thinks that nobody is very anxiou,
about it as heretofore carried ont hu,
that business men seem to agree tha,
the first step toward honest. fntelIi,
gent consideration of reciprocit,
treaties and kindred subjects lies ~
the creation of a permanent tariff
commission which shall examine int,
ali the conditions and report to tn,
, president and congress. A commits
sion with equal dignity and powe,
with the interstate commerce com
mission, he urges. would soon gal,
the confidence of the country to suel
an extent that selfish interests wouJ,
find it difficult to ignore the recon
mepdations of such a tribunal
The conclusion is reached that tn,
most practical step we can take q
