The CHANGING Death Rate.

The last generation has progressed
remarkably in saving the babies. but
has let the middle aged people die.
Below the age Of ten the death rate
has been diminishing. Above the age
of forty the death rate has been in
creasing, mt least in America. No IN
crease is reported from Europe.
Intemperance in eating. drinking and
working. especially working, is the
most probable explanation Of this pc
culiar and unfortunate mortality.

thus publicly putting the president in
the position of choosing between Nc
Nab and the attorney general before
the president had knowledge of the
facts in the case.
But it is obvious that the RepUb-
licans intend to make the most of
the Caminetti scandal, their first
chance at the Wilson administration,
and one in which, from the very, ma
ture of the crime charged against
young Caminetti and Diggs, the Re-

crfticising McNab and then ordering
done what McNab demanded to be
done is pure hypocrisy. They, the
president and the attorney general,
now admit the attorney generals Of
fee was imposed upon; but, unfairly,
unjustly and in pure hypocrisy, they
accuse the officer who called their
attention to the facts.
Such manliness as l expected
from President Wilson would have
required. him to refuse McNab's re-
signation and frankly confess that
McReynolds had made a mistake.
''But instead, they have accepted
the resignation of the attorney and
caused the suspension of one who
worked up the case and the evidence.

Caminetti are willing for a speedy

orders the case postponed? The at
torney general doubtless is a great
lawyer, but if the Democratic admin
istration intends to let a telephone
call postpone a case, there won't be
many Democratic administrations
within the next hundred years.
THE excuse offered for this act by
the attorney general is worse than
the offense and is made to pass ig-
nominy on the one official in the de-
partment of justice who has had the

he has made the president and the

DUNNE BETWEEN TWO FIRES ON
PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL

Springfield, Ill.,, June 27.-The pub
lie utilities bill was sent to the gov
ernor by Attorney General Lucey,
who held it constitutional, last night,
but the governor is not expected to
act on it for several days.
Meantime Rep. Rapp of Fairfield
and Charles Boeschenstein, Demo-
cratic national committeeman, are
trying to offset the pressure brought
on the governor by Chicagoans who
want the bill vetoed, by urging the
governor to sign it.
There is feeling here that Gov.
Dunno will defy the Chicagoans by
signing the bill, and then will make
it his business to see that Chicago
gets home rule by the enactment of
an amendment to the bill.
Senator Walter Clyde Jones says
that if the governor signs the bill he
will commit crime against Chi
cago." f.
On the other hand, the DOWNSTAIRS
are telling the governor that if he
vetOes the bill, he will commit a crime
against his own platform, despite the
way in which the home rule clause
was separated from the bill at the
twelfth hour.
