THE GROWTH OF RESSIA.

The statement of the population of the
Russian Empire which has Just been
made by the central statistical bureau
of the government is not the result of
a census, for none has been taken for
many years, but of estimates which are
made with SO much care that they are
probably within very narrow margin
of the exact truth. The total population
Of the empire is placed at 100. .O95. 200,
which figures, when compared with
those Of former enumerati0ns and esti-
mates, indicate greater ratio Of growth
than might be expected in a land Of
primitive sanitation and high mortality
The growth of Russia has been
through territorial conquest and anneXa-
ton more than through births, at least
down TO the middle of the last century.
In 1922 the population of the empire as
it then existed was only 100000, and
by the end Of that century it had only
a little more than doubled those figures
At the end Of the Napole0nic era it was
only 45Q00.000. or less than twice that
OF France at that time BY 1859. owing
largely 10 acquisitions of populous ter
ritoFy. il had increased to 100000.
Since the latter date territorial acuuisi-
tionS have not been important. and in
crease Of population has depended more
upon the excess of births over deaths
The lateSt-and fiTSt-reai census in
1897. reported 1292O9297 persons in the
empire, not counting Finland The
enumeration. or estimate, which is
now made includes Finland. If we
reckon Finland at close to 100000,
then, the increase of the empire appears
10 have been more than 33.000,oo0, or
more than 26 per cent, in thirteen years.
II may be added that an estimate by
this same statistical bureau three years
ago placed the figures. not counting
Finland. at 152, ,G09. POO. indicating an in
crease Of about 5,000.U00 in three years.
The natural explanation of the growth
OF population in spite of poor santa
ton and high death rate is To be found
in the fecundity of compare lively
primitive and unsophstlcated people
Thus, while the death rate is enormously
high, being about 80 TO the thousand
yearly, the birth rate is also phenomenal
being at least 4S 70 the thousand, showing
a yearly surplus Of IS births over deaths
to the thousand population In Ger
many. by way of contrast, 1t may be
noted that the death rate is only 10,
against Russia's 80, but the birth rate
is only "a to Russia's 4e. so that Ger
many's net gain in surplus Of births over
deaths is only j.. against Russia's IS.
1t should be added that while the Rus
sian death rate is slowly falling the
birth rate is actually increasing, so that
there is prospect Of the general growth
New-York tribune., 1910-06-20
of population being even more rapid in
The immediate future than it has been
in the immediate past.
SIMMER COUNSEL.

Tie open season for summer advice
has been considerably delayed this year,
but we may expect our benevolent coun-
sellors TO break out at any moment now,
with tne advent of the first hot wave.
They will be led as heretofore. by the
CHEEKY PHILOSOPHER who lauds New York
as a summer resort. He will tell us how
privileged we are 10 be obliged to stay in
town the whole summer through he will
talk entranciDgly Of boat rides and
beaches, of roof gardens and open-air res
taurants, OF nocturnal trips on surface
cars and the cool apartment awaiting us
at the end of this round Of comforts.
The refrigerator is a dream of iced de-
lights. the bathtub allures, and a breeze
always manages to blow In from one
point of the compass or another, yet
never bears a mosquito on its wing to
disturb our slumbers. And SO to bed,
to quote the comfort loving Mr.. Pepys.
Now our perplexities begin, however,
for next comes the counsellor warning us
against the iced liquids in that refriger-
ator. Whatever the nature of the bever-
age, or mixture of beverages, alcoholic
or temperance, danger turks in It If it be
artfcially chilled. Beware" he says,
with uplifted finger. Usually he has a
refreshing draft of his own TO recon-
mend, oatmeal water at its natural sum-
mer temperature, perhaps, or even cup
of nice hot tea. To bewilder us still fur
ther, along comes the counsellor who
pins his faith to cold food which in
cludes. of course, cold liquids. Even the
after-dinner coffee must be iced, accord
ing to him, if we would live in comfort
and health through the hot spell And
now they be upon us in their multi
tude. advisers who would direct our way
of living from rising to retiring, our
dress from the soles of our shoes TO the
straws on our heads. Even the rural
cabbage leaf as protection against sum
stroke bobs up occasionally in this volu-
minous body Of rules for urban summer
living. Last of all comes the insomnia
specialist of the dog days, whose rene
dies range all the way from cold water
to auto-suggestion. His is a thank less
task. his only reward usually feeling
of bitter enmity.
New Workers manage to be a fairly
comfortable folk through most of the
summer. thanks in part, no doubt, to
these kindly counsellors, but chiefly to
the situation and coniguration of their
city We should miss the advice If It
were not forthcoming. Meanwhile, it is a
great comfort TO remember that we have
got through most of June without the
need Of it.

4 EIRET APPEARANCE.

The abscess on the German Emperor S
wrist, which prevented him from holding
a pen, was the means of introducing his
son and heir to participation in the af-
fairs of the empire, though the service
required Of the Crown Prince William
was a modest one, merely the signing
of his fathers name
The open concern with which the news
of the Emperor's slight ailment was re-
ceived by the German papers. irrespec-
tive Of their political color. is significant.
They paid him the spontaneous tribute
of alluding to the supreme Importance of
his continued life to the peace Of Europe
probably the first unanimous, ungrudg-
ing, national recognition Of the success of
the guiding principle Of his diplomacy.
William II is not 'peacemaker," but
he has been a peace preserver through
out his reign. sometimes in crises that
may have been sore temptation to a
war lord conscious of the strength of
the wea pom in his hand
Another fact has been emphasized by
the Emperors indisposition, namely, that
his has been a one-man rule in the Ger
man Foreign Office since his dismissal
of Bismarck. The empire has now no
strong, tried, trusted statesman except
the Emperor TO look TO in an emergency
IT must perforce place its reliance in the
young prince who has so modestly made
his first appearance on the great stage of
public life by signing his fathers name.
It is this reflection that gives the Incl
dent a dramatic meaning which is en-
HANGED by the later mishap to the EN-
peror's knee

PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL STAND
ARDS


It is distinctly encouraging to observe
that the American Medical Association.
as a result of six years of painstaking
investigation. has made report strongly
confirming that of the Carnegie Founda-
ton, which was recently commented
upon in The Tribune, concerning the
need Of a higher standard Of scholarship
in some of our medical colleges. That
there is marked difference in stand
ards is undeniable Probably to some ex-
tent it is inevitable But that some in
stitutions fall considerably below
standard which must be regarded as the
minimum of acceptable efficiency is un-
hesitatingly declared by impartial and
informed investigators. while it is also.
as we have recently been reminded.
somewhat resentfully denied by the
friends of those institutions or perhaps
we should say more correctly that thev
deny that 1t is possible to fix any specific
standard to which all institutions should
conform.
Without undertaking to pass Judgment
upon any particular institution. we would
repeat what we have hitherto urged, that
general standard Of professional attain
ment and efficiency il not only desirable
but also possible. It is to be noted, more
over, that the report to which we have
referred is Tot merely censorious and
condemnatory. 1t does regard some of the
medical schools as hopelessly bad But
more of them are susceptible of being
raised TO a satisfactory standard, and the
association expresses a readiness and. in
deed, an eagerness TO cooperate in the
work of thus elevating them. That is also
the spirit of the Carnegie Foundation.
There is no thought of creating an
aristocratic monopoly in professional
education, but rather n desire to bring
all institutions up TO the level of the
best. That desire is logical and laud-
able, and we believe that its fulfill
ment is necessary for the highest good
of the profession itself and for the well
fare of the people whom it serves.

Oakland, Cal, April 2S.-A fire
which has already destroyed four
blocks in the heart of the business
district of Oakland, is raging this
afternoon. The fire swept north and
east from Webster and Fourth streets
A heavy wind is blowing, and the fire
is not yet under control, although the
city's entire new salt water plant has
been called into US feor the first
time.
Oakland, Calf, April 28.-Fire
which broke out at 1880 O'Clock
this morning in the lower end of
Chinatown, on Webster street be-
tween Third and Fourth, destroyed
a score of buildings, endangered the
lives of hundreds of persons, both
Chinese and white, and did. damage
to the amount of 100000.
The blaze started in a rooming-
house in the middle of the blocS.
The structure was of wood and lodg
ers barely had time to reach the
street.
strong westerly wind was blow
ing and within a few minutes the en-
tire east side of the block was in
flames. After consuming these
rooming houses and three smaller
buildings the fire leaped across the
street and consumed half dozen
cottages, several Chinese stores, and
threatened the Harrison school.
The children were marched from
the school house before the approach
of the flames. While the fire WIS
eating its way to Jackson street,
which is thickly populated with
Chinese, there was panic among
the celestials and for blocks around
the Orientals were busy packing
their goods and chattels to the
street. One Chinaman tried to leap
into the fire while his store was
burning and when seized by Officer
McCredie, drew a knife and at
tempted to slash the policeman.
He was taken to the insane ward
of the receiving hospital
