Astounding figures showing the growth
OF pauperism in England have just been
made public. Particularly in London. the
state Of affairs is almost incredible.
At least per cent of the national
wealth is now being devoted TO the sup
port Of the shlftless and helpless. Ia
London one man In every fourteen is a
pauper. Poorhouses dot the land and
orphanages rise on every hand. Thou
sands Of paupers are sent out each year
10 Canada and Australia and yet, with
the huge birth rate among this class,
other thousands are always waiting 10 be
helped.
Against the low birth rate-the so
called race suicide" Of France-England
places her own overmultiplication OF
paupers. The very poor are increasing

ly- What the end viii be no one seems
70 know. How long the efficient, indus
trious classes viii be able to bear the
burden Of supporting the helpless and
hopeless no one ventures TO guess.
Millions of Paupers.
As has been stated. one LOndoner in
every fourteen is a paupeT, and enc out
OF twenty persons IS d pauper in the
whole Of England and Wales. says J. b.
Ferguson, in the Baltimore sun.
More than this. it has been shown that
three-ffths OF the class spoken Of are
habitually destitute. and at least one
sixth are given relief almost constantly.
Therefore England not only has a large
number Of paupers, but II has also a
large number Of paupers who are always
paupers, with an additionally large class
that IS forever lowering on the verge Of
pauperisH-
The source from which these figures
have been drawn IS a report issued by
the royal poor law commission, from OBJ
servstions made by II Tor a period Of
twelve months. from October J. 1906. TO
September 81. 1857 The most pregnant
remark IN the report is.

With regard to the Court Circular which
he has abolished. it may be described
as having been originally an English in

Mrs. Claude Shepard, wife Of Claude
Shepard, mail carrier of one of the
rural routes out Of Osceola, made an
attempt to commit suicide Sunday af-
ternoon at few minutes after 1
o'clock, by taking antiseptic tablets
composed of bi-chloride Of mercury.
The rash act is said to be the result of
domestic troubles. AS soon as the fact
was discovered that Mrs Shepard had
taken the poison medical aid was sum-
moned and every available means was
used In an effort to save the life of the
suffering woman. At first the doctors

Shenandoah.
For the first time in the hosiery
of Shenandoah. the women will have
chance to vote on an important
question next Monday afternoon on
an exact equality with the men. The
proposition is to bond the school dis
trict for $4,000 for q four-room
school building west of the Burling-
ton railroad and $1,000 for repairs
on the high school building. This
election will show whether the wom-
en- of Shenandoah really want the
elective franchise or not. Ono OF the
chief objections urged against equal
suffrage Is that the women do not care
to vote and would not do so If they
had the right But the result next
Monday will probably show that.1many
women will vote when they have the
opportunity. The political equality
club will likely make campaign for
votes regardless OF which way the
women will VOTE in order to make
showing for their cause.
