A dozen or more bills have been
introduced into this congress pro
viding for one-cent letter postage,
Mr.. Park Of the Second district be-
ing the last to increase the number.
There is a strong popular demand
for such postage, but it is by no
means certain that the time has come
for it. 1t would make a big hole in
the revenue now derived from carry
ing the mails.

The Blue Sky Law.

The Augusta Chronicle has found
a little joker in Georgia's blue sky
law, which was passed by the last
legislature for the purpose of putting
an end to the selling of fraudulent
stock in wildcat companies of all
sorts.
Since 1900 the people of Georgia
have been feeced out of. not less
than $25, 100000 by slick-tongued
agents selling debenture bonds, stock
in oil companies, insurance compa-
MES, copper and gold mines, wireless
telegraphy, and so on.
Georgia has become known of late
years, says the Chronicle as "The
Sucker State of the South"
The blue sky law was intended to
regulate the sale of stocks, debenture
bonds and other securities; to pro-
vide for the filing of information con-
corning the same; to punish yiolators
of the act, and for other purposes.
The joke is that the securities Of in
surance companies were exempted.
AS the Home and Farmstead says,
"the people of Georgia have. been
dim-aammed out of more money by
agents selling stock in fraudulent
insurance companies than perhaps in
any other way" and that paper wants
to know who put this little joker in
the bill.
1t will, in all probability, never be
I known. 1t would greatly injure mis-
! popularity for his identity to be
/ found out.

In the eleven months of this year
that have passed 416 persons have
been killed and 2,149 injured on the
public highways of New York state
by automobiles. They were not JOY
riders. They were not of that class
of persons who drive recklessly in
automobiles. Many of them were
pedestrians and their ages ranged
from babyhood far up towards the
century mark. There is something
radically wrong with the enforcement
of the automobile laws.

Our Future Citizens.

The children's bureau of the Unit
ed States Department of Labor, OF
which Miss Julia c. Lathrop is chief,
has issued the first part of a hand
some booF of federal statistics of
children, which shows the number OF
children in the country, with their
sex, age. race, nativity, parentage
and geographic distribution.
According to the figures Uncle Sam
had 29,499,136 children under If
teen years of age, and they made up
almost one-third of his entire family,
Almost all of these children were
born on his own soil. The foreign
born white children numbered only
759,34G and formed only &c per cent
of the total number of children.
Many of the native children are,
of course, the children of immi-
grants. The figures show that in
1910 there were 7,225,569 native
white children with one or both pa
rents foreign born.
The native white with both pa
rents native numbered 17731,5S0,
and formed COL per cent of all the
children in the country. There were
3,665,1O7 negro children, forming
12.4 per cent of the total number.
The negro children are found
mainly in the southern and south
western states, whereas the foreign
born whites are located principally
in New England and the middle At
lantic and central states.
The native whites of native parent
age are, of course, more evenly dis
tributed, and are present in large
numbers in all sections of the coun-
try.
The figures show the Importance of
giving thought to the welfare of the
children in the smaller cities and in
rural communities Social work for
the children has been developed to
a high degree in many Of the larger
cities, but the figures show that less
than one child in five is living in a
city of 100000 inhabitants and over,
and that three children in five are
living in villages of less than $500
inhabitants, or in distinctly rural
communities.
In New England and in the middle
Atlantic, north central and Pacific
states the percentage of children liv-
ing in cities of 100000 inhabitants
or over is far greater, reaching as
high as ABA in the middle Atlantic
group.
In the south Atlantic and south
central states, on the other hand, the
percentage living in cities of 100000
or over is small, the highest being
Go in the south Atlantic states, but
the percentage in rural districts is
high, being above 80 in all the
southern divisions.
The question of child welfare in
the south is thus distinctly a rural
question, and even in the north and
vest a very considerable part Of it
is rural

THE crisis that faces Georgia is
the coming of the boil weevil," says
James Henry Rice, Jr., field agent of
the Audubon Society, now lecturing
in Atlanta. Mr.. Rice was urging
Sunday that the birds be saved to eat
insects
Should the best hopes be realized
and cultural methods be improved so
as to conform to government require
ments the loss will not exceed so per
cent of the cotton crop, but is not
that sufficient?
The boil weevil entered the Unit
ed States at Brownsville, Texas, in
1892. In 1907 it entered Louisiana
and caused loss of three-fourths of
the crop, reducing an annual yield
of 100000 bales to 100000.
1T went into winter quarters this
fall within 20 miles of the Georgia
line. Bradford Knapp, in charge
of the United States demonstration
work, says that labor left lower Mis-
sissippi by the bOatlOad and train
load He might have added that
farmers were ruined in droves and
that every business felt the effects.
''The magnificent work done by
the National Bureau of Entomology
has only emphasized the fact that
cultural methods are pOwerless to do
anything beyond raising half a crop
at more than the price of a full one.
The One Remedy.
'"The one remedy is the insect-eat-
ing birds. Texas. by permitting the
wholesale slaughter Of its birds, laid
itself open to the entrance of the boil
wcevil. Birds are natures check on
the spread OF insects. The bird pop
uIation of the entire country is esti-
mated at about one-ffth Of what it
was thirty years ago. Birds rapidly
reproduce. Five years of rigid pro-
lection would show a considerable
increase over the bird population Of
even thirty years ago.
"With rigid protection Of birds the
/ damage from the weeviI will be ma
/ teriaIy lessened in three years time;
/ in FIVE years it will cease to be a
menace and be no more than an an
Inoyance. Such protection is possible
only by educating the people to the
value of birds.
1T is perfectly proper and right to
/ employ every available means to
fight the weevil Cultural methods
are to be commended but it is just
as well to bear in mind that cultural
methods have a limit. Should the
South largely abandon cotton and
turn to corn and the cereals there
will ensue a general fall in prices,
and. moreover, there will follow such
insect outbreaks as will make the
boil weeviI seem out of date, for corn
and the cereals have a thousand in
sect enemies where cotton has one
some Of which are infinitely worse
than the boil weevil. From cotton
alone Georgia will have to face a loss
of million bales Of cotton-at least
$50, 100000.
Give the Birds a Chance"
1T costs nothing but the co-opera-
ton of the people of Georgia. The
work of the boil weevil must be
ichecked or the state will lose head
