Death Of the Little Ones.

Among the exhibits at the National
Hygiene congress at Washington, was
one which most effectively told the
story Of infant mortality. In booth
draped in black there was an electric
globe into which light flashed every
ten seconds. Beneath was a notice
which said that every time the light
flashed child died somewhere in the
civilized world. This means that
$50 children, less than one year of
age, die every hour; S,640 every day;
and 3,155,760 every year. This num-
Der of deaths is largely due to i'm
proper care Of infants. The congress,
among other things, undertook to
prescribe proper care. But there is
another cause of such enormous in
fant mortality. This cause is found
in the lives of the parents, in their
incorrect habits, in the fathers wild
oats, and the mothers obedience to
the demands of society and devotion
to style. Unhealthy fathers and
mothers cannot produce healthy chill
dren. Neither can science make
unhealthy children healthy, when it
has to contend with causes so far re-
moved. This fact was fully demon
strated by their exhibits and by tests
that were made during the discussion
Of this subject, which was one Of the
most important on the whole pro-
gram.

Campaign Fund Scandal.

The revelations that have been
brought out about the scandal cam
paign funds before the Senate COM
mittee appointed to look into the
matter is simply amazing. 1t was
known that great sums had been rails
&c from time to time for the Re-
publican party, but very few suspect
ed that the corporations were such
liberal contributors as the evidence
taken by the committee shows them
to have been. The contributions to
Roosevelt's campaign in 1904 by the
corporations was very large.
''It was known Of all men that Col
onel Roosevelt would easily win. In
the face of this, however, 1t now de-
velops, that Wall Street-including
Standard Oil, Mr. Hartman, and Mr..
Morgan, gave the National Repuoll-
can committee, at that time, $780,
900. That this immense gift was
made to insure the election of COL
onel Roosevelt is out Of the ques-
ton. That they were made in the
hope of favors to come is the more
reasonable explanation" says the
Augusta Chronicle.
The Chronicle thinks that Sena-
tor DiXon's statement before the
committee "that he had received dol
lars by the hundreds of thousands
for the pre-convention campaign of
Colonel Roosevelt and had spent
them as he saw fit and best, keeping
nc books and making no records of
receipts or expenditures, ," proves that
the exaction of publicity to campaign
contributions as now provided by
law, is little less than ridiculous.
As the Chronicle says $50 long as
there are political campaigns, just
SO long will there be money expen-
ditures To relate this expenditure
to expose it and it's source to the
public gaze--will be difficult task.
The present publicity law is start.
1t may be that the statute can be
perfected to accomplish the end de-
sired. At least congress should
make efforts to so perfect it,"

BRITISH FIEND is CAUGHT
He Confesses to the Murder of Two
Little Girls

II the story which George Brown
Spengler told Monday night proves
to be true, then crime mystery
which has puzzled the Detroit police
for nearly three years has been clear
ed up. spengler, a laborer, 80 years
old, described as moral pervert,
was arrested in connection with the
murder of 12-year-old Matilda Refs,
whose mutilated body was found in
an alley near. her home in Detroit
last Tuesday. He confessed not only
to having killed and mistreated this
child, but told the police he also mis-
treated and murdered Helen Brown,
II years old. whose body was found
in coal yard on December IL, 1903.
Four other girls have been attacked
in Detroit in the last 13 months.
One Of them was permanently injur-
ed and the other less seriously hurt.
Spengler admits responsibility for
two of these offenses. In each case
the child was attacked as she was a.
sleep in her parents home.

County Papers and Personals.

Some of the city newspapers often
make fun of country newspapers for
detailing the coming and going of
people and other personal mention
But if that be an offence tie city
newspapers are even more culpablc
for in their society notes and other
departments they are lavish in their
accounts CT the doines Of so-called
society people. The principle diFar-
ence between the country end cit!
press is simply in !hs -a"t :h?t INC
rural newspaper chronicles the move
ments of people who are generally
known in the community while tn"
city press tells Of people whom thu
great ma ioritv of its readers kno"'
only by name. In its pelso.ial inc4.-
ton the rural press is singularly free
from class ta.ling and lunkeyism.
while there is a strong feeling that
both characteristics are found in the
social happenings recorded in the
columns of large city dailies.

The Turk Must Go.

The example Of Montenegro in de-
clarirg war on Turkey has been fol-
lowed By Se-via a2d Bulgaria, and
Greece will do the same thing as the
war. which Is bound to follow, opens
up. The Balkan people are nearly
all fighters and Bulgaria and Servia
have armies that compare In effective
force with some Of the most promi-
nent military powers. The Turk is
universally admitted to be a first
class fighting man. He has been
said by competent authorities to be
the best soldier in Europe.
But, as The Charleston Evening
Post predicts, they will doubtless, in
the end, get the worst Of the contest,
SO far as results are coneerned-as
they deserve to. The misgovernment
Of Macedonia, the atrocities in Ar
meaia, the constant trouble and dis
satisfaction throughout all the Gree
ian settlement, have their foundation
IL, the incompetence and oppression
CT Turkish rule and of Aoslem intol-
erance. The Turk, in spite Of his
many good characteristics, is misit
in Europe, and he will have to go.
The once great empire Of tho Turk
has crumbled and his power for ef-
feetive rule Is broken, and he remains
an anomaly and an agsravation. The
States which have wrested their free
dom by severe struggle and held it
ty ceaseless vigilance have never been
permitted really to enjoy and improve
their liberty, because Of the selfish
ness Of their great neighbors who
have kept Turkey fixed in Europe
because each feared the others would
share too generously Of her fragments
should she be thrown from her seat.

Cotton Crop Outlook.

The News and Courier says "if the
laws of supply and demand are to
govern this year, as we are always
assured that they must govern in the
years when bumper crops are record
ed, We are. at a los. to see how the
price OF cotton can fail to advance
very materially within the next few
weeks. Careful estimates Of the
worlds needs place the probable de-
mand for American cotton at not less
than 100000 bales, and there are
not a few who contend that there
will be call for as much as 15,000,-
600 bales. On the other hand, only
under the most favorable conditions
from this time forward will it be pos
sible for crop Of 100000 bales
t. be gathered"
Whether or not this can happen,
says the Wall Street Journal, will
depend in large measure upon the
ability OF the four important States
Of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina
and South Carolina to approximate
their performance of 1911 when they
together contributed 7,2Os,6ss bales
ss their share Of the mammoth crop,
although their average for the five
years between 1905 and 1909 was
4,640,s72 bales, or IL per cent. of
the crop" The planted area in these
States is 2,536,000 bales less than
last year.
The crop got late start, with
scarcely any preparation, whereas in
1911 the land was more tho (oughly
prepared than ever before. The
quantity and quality of fertilizer US
ed were both very much reduced. 1t
is inevitable that the crop in these
States must fall far below that of
1911, even if it approXimates the
general average for the last seven or
elgth years. The Wall Street Jour
nal thinks that a late frost might
save the situation to a degree, but it
ADMITS tnat none of the States nam
ee is well prepared to face this dan
ger. There is not q probability that
the cotton crop now being gathered
Will exceed 100000 bales at the
outside. It is much more likely to
be as low as 100000 bales.

Section Of Oklahoma.
Three masked men who held up
and robbed north-bound Kansas

while both bandits and trainmen hid
behind trunks waiting for the two
safes to blow open. Part Of the SAT-

The robbers did not molest the
passengers or the rest Of the train
crew. They boarded the train at
Frico railway crossing, a mile north
east Of Poteau At this point Willie
West, a boy who lives near by, saw
the trio enter the express car. Willie
shouted to the passengers that
there's robbers on the train," but

You wouldn't a laboring man.

for a moment and then returned the
81. While the bandits finished up
their work they ordered Kerr and
Williams to join the head brakeman,
