PAPERS AND POLITICIANS.

The editor of the Fostoria, O., Times doesn't take mucn stock in the
criticisms Of the politicians to the effect that the newspapers are trying to
III the politics of the nation. He doesn't believe that the influence of the
papers is for evil, as is sc otter claimed by politicians who have been
found out" THE truth is" avs HI editor, that politicians hate new
papers for h same reason that bats dread sunlight. The politician will
tolerate a newspaper Is long as the latter devotes itself to fulsome praise
of III candidate and to dense silence or forced apology when The poll
ucan is getting his graft n on the public"

MORE COMPLETE REPORTS OF
BIRTHS AND DEATHS UNDER
LATER LEGISLATION.

Results are being obtained by the
state board of health and the state
vital statistic bureau under the opera
ton of the new law governing the
work of collecting such statistics and
no better proof of that fact is to be
found than in the figures that have
been compiled by Secretary J. Grassick.
Since the law became operative on
July l, 1907, there has been a constant
increase in the births and deaths
shown in the reports, denoting that the
figures are more complete in every re-
spect and that the report is more val
liable.
In the four years the number of
births that have been reported is dou-
bled, while the same condition holds
true of the report of deaths.
On births, the first year, from July
l, 1907 to July l, 1905, there were a
total of 5,046 reported; the next year
saw an increase to 7,S40; the next year
found 1905, while the year ending July
l, this year, brought total Of 10,43s
birth reports.
| The reports on deaths for the same
period is equally interesting. It shows
1,721 deaths for the first year; 1920
for the second year; Also for the thirG
year, and $3.50 for the last year.
Another striking condition is the
fact that births have outnumbered
deaths in the last period nearly three
to one. In the two previous years the
! births were about two to one as against
deaths.

LARS IN MONEY.

Rogers, N. D., Aug. 25.-Yeggmen
made an effort to blow tn vault Of the
First State bank Of this village about
l O'Clock yesterday morning, but Sc
cured only $12. They were frightened
away before reaching the inner com
partments of the safe.
The telephone operator noticed some
thing wrong with the wires and found
all but one running into the Office had
been cut. She alarmed Ward Pickett,
butcher, who got his rifle and began
firing into the bank building, causing
the Yeggmen to fly. Other people soon
came with rifles but in the darkness no
attempt was made to follow the ban
dts.
It was found that two men were in
the bank. They blew open the outer
door of the safe and secured $12 in
small compartment and had the inner
door of the vault "soaped'' ready for
blowing when disturbed.
There were four men outside, evil
