RACE SUICIDE

France is Said to Have Grown to Be
Richest Country in the World
M BY Practices.

Paris, Aug. 16.-That race suicide
tays big dividends in human happi-
ess and material prosperity is capa-
Die of abundant proof, according to
the officials and leaders of the NAL
thusian Society of France, which met
IN annual convention in Paris today.
France, with the lowest birth-rate of
any civilized nation, is now and has
been for years, it is asserted, the rich
est country Of the world In proper
ton to population.
Some interesting statistics are pro-
vided by Edmond Thery, the noted
political economist, on this subject.
In 1S4s the total of the combined pri-
vate fortunes of France was s12,sOO,-
100000. Now it is s57.456, 400, 900, and
the gain in wealth has been far ahead

JOHN BULL VISITS AMERICA. 4:
: ********** :*:**

An Englishman, in Harpers Week
ly:
Yes | confess even bankruptcy
seems welcome as an escape from the
horrors of Pullman, where you
travel by day with two or three score
of people at least one of whom is GER
tain to be squalling infant and an
other a ubiquitous youngster with
lungs and legs in an equal state of
activity; where you have to rouse
yourself every few minutes to resist
the car-boy's pestiferous attentions,
and where the buzz of an incessant
movement and conversation makes
reading and doing alike impossible.
But even that pales before the trials
that await one at bedtime. A Pull
man car at night is the most uncivi-
lized thing on the American continent,
and one of the most indecent. 1t
quite fascinates my bushes. I sit
enthralled as the darkey porter strews
my seat with other peoples belong
ings, holds a pillow case in his teeth
and squeezes the pillow into it, and
hurls sheets and mattresses about and
pulls at chains and sliding doors and
levers and curtains. And what can
be more enchanting than to hear hus-
band and wife discussing how they
shall dispose of themselves for the
night whether they shall share the
lower berth or whether he shall be
banished to the nest above? And
what pleasanter than to be made con-
scious by the writings and heavings
and vigorous protruberances of the
curtains that just across the aisle
some good lady is engaged in the fear
some struggle to undress
To walk the length of a Pullman
car at about 1890 p. m, when most
of the berths are made up, and when
the curtained contortions of those
who are in agony of retiring are at
their worst, and when you butt into
strange projections of humanity and
stumble over shoes and dressing
cases, and try not to stop and watch
some one scaling the heights OF an
upper berth, is on the whole the most
delirous experience have ever en-
countered.

AS CANADA SEES 1T.
.***%***==*%*%~~%

We have been so absorbed in our
own views of reciprocity and the final
fate of the bill in congress that we
have failed to remember the old
adage: ct takes two to make a bar
gain" The possibility of Canada s
refusing the treaty has not occurred
to the average reader; the only ele-
ment of doubt in his mind has been
as to the senate vote. The pictures
of President Taft signing the bill. af-
ter its stormy passage through con-
gress, were, to the general public. like
"hnis" at the ned of novel. or the
amen" that closes a prayer. There
did not seem to be any possibilities
of other snags or shipwreck.
But these calculations did not take
into account the attitude of the other
party to the contract. Canada has not
yet agreed to the proposition, and al
though her assent is probable. her dis
sent is by no means impossible. In
fact, there is a very decided opposi-
ton to the measure: so very decided
that it has been made the issue in
the pending elections.
Last week the Canadian parliament
came to an end, and before another
convenes there is an election. This
election is set for date in Septem-
Der, and the party known as the Con-
servatives has set itself in direct op-
position to any reciprocity agreement
with the United States The cam
paign has been opened by candidates
for parliament in a fierce attack on
the proposed treaty and those who
advocate it. The Canadian hastings
are beginning to ring with oratorieal
denunciation of the pact Behind this
bill the Conservatives see, or pretend
to see, annexation to the United Stat
es. They declare that we are COW
etous of them; that it is our ultimate
aim to have a United States that
stretches from the northern bound
aries of British America to where the
canal zone draws its line across the
Isthmus of Panama.
Boogle Man to Win. Votes.
This is the scare-head they are hold

they are using to win votes.

headed by the premier, Sir Wilfred

FLEET HAS BUT ONE SHIP.

Washington, Aug. 16.-In the opin-
ion of the experts of the Navy depart
ment, an admiral is not needed to
command fleet of one vessel. and in
consequence Rear-Admiral Sidney A..
Staunton has been detached from COM
mand of the fifth division of the At
lantic fleet and assigned to duty on
the general board the order going
into effect today.
The vessels of the fifth division
have become scattered all over the At
lantic on special duty until finally Ad-
miral Staunton had only one ship left
under his direct orders.

church. The bitter story, now known
to be false, followed him. Again he
moved. SANDER followed.
In desperation Mr.. Higgs left the
ministry broken in spirit. He went
to work as common laborer.
Discouraged, half insane from his
troubles, he resorted to liquor. Be-
ing a man of fine sensibilities and
delicate temperament, the drink was
his quick undoing.
Just what the poor creature had in
mind is not known, but somehow he
wandered back to Harvey, the scene
of his success. The shadow of his
cross was on his soul.

In the police station where he APP
piled for nights lodging, he regis

he had often exhorted the fallen he
hanged himself to the door of the
cell.
And the community?
When the suicides identity was re-
vealed the community reaped its
heartwrenching harvest of remorse.
1t seemed to the people whom he
had served that John Higgs, despised
and rejected of men, might have
chosen this ignominious death to say

$5,S4S. No other nation can apprca
these figures, nor is there any otaa,
country in which wealth is an evenly
divided as in France Swollen for
tunes are few in the French republic,
and extreme poverty prevails to les
ser extent than in any other land. The
disciples Of Nautilus attribute all this
to the limitation of population urged
by the great English economist.
Confined to No Class.
Until recently, race suicide was con-
fined principally to the middle classes,
but within the last decade the work
ingmen become converted to the doc
trine, and, unlike the proletariat of
other countries, as a rule have only
from one to three children. In
the last sixteen years the national
wealth of France has increased at the
rate of 1854 100000 yearly. When it
is considered that the population re-
mains almost stationary, and that this
wealth does not go into the Golfers of
few, as in America, but is equally
distributed, the material advantages
of race suicide may be realized.
| While the birth rate has rapidly de
creased during the last decade, gov
eminent statistics prove that the rate
OF infant mortality has more than cor
respendingly decreased. Illiteracy
has become practically non-existent
in France, so that, while fewer chill
dren are born, it is also true that few
er die in infancy and that those that
survive are better cared for and re
ceive better Quotations
Originally the Malthusian doctrines
regarding the limitation of population
were preached and practiced exclus
lively by freethinkers, but many
churchmen, despite the ban of the
authorities, are now interesting them
selves in the movement
Private Wealth.
According to the figures of Thery
an SNoH ulStllDutlOH VI IHe prlVdle
wealth of France, giving each individ
ual $1,462 worth of property, would
be thus divided: Unimproved rea
estate. 1884, improved real estate
$2.95; agriculture and stock, SAL com
mercial and industrial capital, s4S;
French stocks and bonds, $33S; for
eign stocks and bonds, 1913; cash
(gold) s33; cash, (silver) s11; per
sonal property, sos; automobiles
horses and carriages, 81.
The large amount invested in
stocks and bonds, 1881 per capita, or
more than third of the per capita
wealth, is indicative of the wealthy as
in other countries. In France the
shopgirl, the ragpicker and the char
woman often have hundreds of dollars
put away in dividend paying stocks
and bonds. It is the ambition of ev
cry man, woman and child to save
enough money to invest in a few
shares of bonds, and few indeed fail
to realize their ambition.
