CHILD MOTHERS oE INDIA.

AS more and more details of the
Indian census of March 16, 1911, are
worked out, the truly horrible con-
ditions of women in that vast hotbed
of humanity became more apparent.
Indeed, the situation is something of
a disgrace to civilization, and while,
perhaps not a direct indictment of
the British rulers of the land, be-
cause they have done what little
seemed possible to abate the evils in
question and repressed with a stern
hand the widespread practice of girl
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the recent
census statistics do show the very
limited success achieved by England
in her efforts really to "civilize" the
country.
OF the 315,OOO,OOO recorded by the
census 312,000,0O0 have now been
analysed regarding sex, age, liteixcy
and marriage. The remaining $500.
600 consists of entirely uncivilized
tribes living in more or less inacces-
sible regions, in whose case nothing
more than a mere enumeration was
possible. Forty-three million of the
semi-civilized total consisted of chill
dren less than years of age. In this
100000 there was an excess of
$4,000 girls. Between the ages of S
and 10 the relative numbers have
changd until the boys are million
in excess. Between Is and 20 they
actually outnumber the girls by g.
100000. After this the proportion of
women gradually increases and at the
20 year age period they again out
number the men. After this until the
age of 60 male predominance again
occurs.

MURPHY MUST GO
New York WORLDLY


At Baltimore, Murphy was formally
repudiated by the Democratic party
of the Nation.
! At Syracuse, Murphy must be re-
pudiated by the Democratic party Of
the State.
The Democratic party in its Ma.
tional convention refused to nominate
any candidate for President whom
Murphy supported. 1t refused to
nominate any candidate for Presi-
dent who would command the ninety
votes of New York. It declared in
effect that Murphy was not a Demo
crat and that any nomination was
tainted in which he had a part.
That was true Democracy The
World intends to apply the same stan
dards to Murphy in New York that
the Democrats of the nation had ap-
piled to him. The Worl stands by
the record of the National convention.
II will accept no candidate for Cover
nor who is nominated by Murphy. 1t
will recognize no ticket as a Demo
cratic ticket which is named by the
discredited boss of Tammany Hall.
A political party that permits it's
self to be bossed by a Murphy is
corrupt. A political party that per-
mits itself to be bossed by Murphy
is unfit to govern. A political party
that permits itself to be bossed by
Murphy gives the lie to the Demo
cratic National convention. It gives
the lie to the platform adopted at
Baltimore. 1t gives the lie to the
ticket nominated at Baltimore. There
is no common ground for men who
believe in the Woodrow Wilson kind
of Democracy and for men who be-
lieves in the Charles F. Murphy kind
of Democracy.
Al that the World said in its Dec
laration of Independence editorial

utmost emphasis. Not only shall we
refuse to support a candidate for Gov
ernor nominated by Murphy, not only
shall we refuse to support a candi. !

fluctuations in the number of women
is contained in two words-neglect
and abuse. Although the actual MUIR
der Of girl babies is said
to have ceased, they are not
wanted by parents, receive lit
tie care and are not regretted
when they die, Secondly, if they
survive, they are married, usually to
more or less mature men, almost as
soon as the cradle is outgrown. The
recent census showed no less
than 902,425 girls less than 6 years
of age already married and 1900
of these were widows, condemned to
perpetual widowhood by Hindu GUS
tom. OF the ten-year-old girls $780,
600 were married and of these 16 years
old no less than 9,412,642. There
We're but 100000 boys at this age
married. While these early mar
riages are especially prevalent
among the Hindu, the Musulmans
also practice them. The result of
this is that there are very few spins
tiers in India. OF the women between
25 to 80 but 100000 were unmarried. |
These figures are unusual In many
ways. They show the terrible NOR
tality among the women caused by
neglect and early motherhood But
they also indicate that despite this
the women outnumber the
men at the age period between 25 and
30 and also after go is reached. The
explanation of this fluctuation is not
obvious.

HATTIEs6URG MAN HAS GREAT
TIME FISHING FOR RED
SNAPPER.
Editor The News:

Editor The News:
Panama, City, Fla, Sept. g.
Thinking that some of the readers
of your paper might be interested,
take the liberty of writing this, and
explaining how the red snapper fish
is caught. One day last week a
crowd of us (32 mem made arrange
ments with the captain of large
motor-boat to take us to the Snapper
Banks" The captain furnished hooks,
lines and bait, and we did the fishing.
We left this town, which is on st.
Andrews Bay, directly opposite the
pass that leads in from the Gulf of
Mexico, about a. m, went out into
the gulf and then went right up the
coast towards Pensacola, about Is
miles. There we overlook some men
who were seining. They caught about
1000 Spanish mackerel," about ~
inches long. We bought about 100
pounds of the mackerel to use as bait.
Then We turned our boat for deep
water. After we had run II miles
straight out into the gulf, the captain
shut off the engine. The boat slowed
down. He took his lead line" and

hook on the Headline" and while he
was sounding for bottom, saw him
jerk his line and then he followed
Throw out your lines, boys, they are I,
here" Well now, unless you have
been there, you can't imagine the ex-
element. Every man of us had our
hooks and lines baited and ready.
There were two hooks on each line, !
and each line was 100 feet long We
threw them overheard, and for about j
80 minutes we were the busiest bunch
you ever saw. The hook would not
reach the bottom before a snapper
would bite. Then you JERK, ana Jern
hard, too, and maybe you would catch
a snapper on each hook before you
could get it back to the surface, and
they were such beauties. Some of
them would weigh 10 or IL pounds
Then all of sudden nobody was get
ing a bite, so the captain ordered,
