THURSDAY, JUNE "a, 1909.

The government of France, which has
been worried by declining birth rate
for many years, can derive some comfort
from the reports recently made public
concerning the life records. In 1907 the
deaths exceeded the births by 1882.
The statistics for 1908 show an excess OF
46.441 births over deaths. The deaths
decreased As. 600, while the births in
creased Is, 600 1t is decided reversal
of the situation. Had there been asiml-
lar number of deaths the record would
still have been creditable TO the birth
column. When the deaths not only de
crease. but the births increase, the show
ing is something to speak Of with exul'
tation.
1t is not cheering to any country to
see an excess of deaths over births. In
France in particular births are actually
needed to maintain the population and
serve to hold up the high rank held by
France in the affairs of the world. 1t Is
easily recalled how anxious the thinkers
of France have been over the low birth
rate in that country. The results of
1903 are, therefore, something for the
French Government to be proud Of If
the increase in births can now be made
an annual matter there will be no
further cause for alarm over the future
of the French.

to claim that duty ia revenue duty
simply because it yields some revenue.
Any duty which il not entirely prohibi
tive yields some revenue and on the
plea Of the Texas Senator almost all
protective duties could be classed as rev
enue duties. The absurdity of the plea
that the lumber duty is a revenue duty
instead of a protective duty is manifest
from a comparison of the immense a
mount of domestic lumber consumed in
this country and the insignificant a
mount Of imported lumber. The do
mestic lumber yields no revenue and
