DECLINING BIRTH RATES.

The piniOn was expressed at the
Conference for Race Betterment just
held at Battle Greek, Mich, that
three great nations, England, Ger
many and France, are facing race ex-
tinction as the result of declining
birth rates. Dr.. J. NJ. CatteH said
at this meeting that if these races
are to remain powerful a century
hence, there must be provision for
selection of healthy mothers, and for
| the cost of bearing and rearing Oh J.

Today the man with a half dozen
healthy and growing children is

society. but he is counted a pillar
Of the state. Yet the higher Up in
the social scale his neighbors may be
the less they follow his example and
gain their similar share Of public ap-

THE PASSING OF RENO.

Nevada's new and Stricter divorce
law, in effect with the new year,
drives away from Reno and other
cities an exotic and motley tribe of
restless women. There will not be
so many Paris gowns, Fifth Avenue
styles, and extreme slit skirts on the
streets of Reno. But the change
marks the tendency of the newer
commonwealth to accept the same
moral standards that prevail in older
states.
In the feverish life of the old min
ing towns, moral obligations and
family ties were as easy to shift as
place of residence. For the pros
pector, stalking his all on the gold
indications of valley did not seem
essentially different from taking a
similar risk on the turn of the rou-
lette wheel. In a country consider
ed destitute of three essentials of
life, water, feed, and women, the six
months residence required for a
divorce was an extended and weary
period.
The new development of Nevada s
resources reads like a romance Call
ed the driest state in the union, it
is found that water is almost every
where in the valleys few feet IN
derground. Prospective irrigation
projects are to fertilize nearly two
million acres. Along the streams
and canals, little GASES Of green, with
comfort and hope, are springnig up
This new development brings all
the materials needed for a stable,
civilization. In places of the gam
bling joint, there springs up the Sun
around a lot of loose change that fill
ed Reno with social glitter. In its
place now comes the farmer adding
TO the productive capital of the state.
The mining industry tends to stan
dardize itself 1t brings in a host
of technology and college men, whose
service is needed to operate mining
plants scientifically Illusion and the
gambling spirit thus tend to fade
out of the gold district, which be-
comes as prosaic and every day as
making shoes. Still Nevada has UNI
told possibilities OF minreaI develop |
ment, and the dreams and adventures
Of the prospector will furnish /

PARCEL POST BUSINESS

To give our readers an idea OF the
immense business now carried on by
the parcel post we copy from a Chi
cago daily the business for oneweek
in that city alone, and it was not
the week before Christmas either,
but for the week ending December Is
1913. The paper says:
Chicago's parcel post business this
week broke the record since the in
auguration of the system. The av-
erage business since last Saturday
has been 215 tons a day. It is now
running about 100000 packages a
month, against 5000, coo for last Jan
uary. The stamp sale for the first
ten days of December amounted to
81 900 600. This was said to be larg-
er than for any like period in the
history Of the Chicago postoffice.
When one city sends out 215 tons
of mail daily you can hardly find
figures to express the number of
tons sent out in the United States.
The parcel post is certainly here to
stay.

THE APPROPRIATION BILLS

Though the proposed antitrust
laws now have the spot light in Con-
gress, the regular appropriation oHls
come home quite as close to where
people really live. The correspond
ents do not mention them much, IN
less representative become belIger-
emf. but the money-spending OF our
legislators should not escape with
this slight scrutiny.
Much is being said at Washington
and if is good talk, about the need
for economy. But one should re-
member that a sure way to get ap-
plause in Congress is to demand
of being defeated for reelection Is
tn refuse to vote for appropriations
that help your own district.
Every one laughs at the absurd
duplication of needless army posts,
for which the United States pays a
heavy bill. Yet if the appropriation
for a single one of these posts IS
cut out, Congress is flooded with
netitions and letters of protest from
boards of trade, mayors, governors
CITY councils and citizens.
The river and harbor act OF 1910
contained appropriations for 296 CON
gressional districts out Of 39l. IL
was a marvel of pork distribution
II is an easy thing to get am INITIAL
grant of $500 900 on $4,000 GOO pro
iect Then a like sum is sure eV-
erv wear. ON the ground that other
wise the money previously spent vii
be wasted.
It has always been customary Ioi
each cabinet minister in this country
70 hand i'm a bill of what he wanted,
regardless of what any other depart
ment asked. This is the only civil
lied government in the world where
the administration has always as
sumed so little responsibility for the
total amount of money expended.
Congress- will be extravagent just
as long as the congressman are sent
to Washington primarily to get jobs
for constituents and expensive I'M
provements for their own districts.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1914-01-22


ceiye less pay than men for the
same work. The subject is suggest
ed by recent utterances of DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw, a Suffragist leader,
in complaining OF the Ford Automo-
bile Company for failure to include
women equally with men in their
profit sharing plan.
A woman teacher often gets only
about $500 for school work for which
a man would be paid $500. The sam
is true in almost all salaried posi-
lions. To be sure, woman's work
is sometimes more irregular, and she
may throw up her job any time to
get married So do men throw up
their Jobs at any time, for good rea-
sons or whims.
Perhaps the root of the trouble is
that women crowd into occupation
having low wages. Out OF + 1890, O0t
women wage earners in this country,
.1,l65, 600 are servants. There are
32S,935 washerwomen.
Department store employees and
sweat shop workers, paid some me4-
ger amount like $500 a week, have
often protested against a minimum
wage law. They say there are plent!
of girls ready to take their places
and they fear worse comp etition Ii
wages are raised.
When an ambitious man finds him
self in an employment where the
supply of workers is greater than
the demand, he tries to fit himself
to compete in higher class. Won
en- must do the same If they could
make women teachers relatively
scarce, this occupation would have II
pay higher wages.
Women who go into business, par
ticularly in such lines as dress-mak
ing, millinery, restaurant, lodgins
house, and hotel keeping, seem to d.
well. If a woman serves the publh
well, the fact Of sex does not count
She is on even terms with men
Here is a great field for feminine
enterprise. The more enter it, thu
less other occupations will be over
crowded.

THE FoULEsT wHELP OF SIN.

People with a paucity Of ideas and
barren of intelligence must occupy
what minds they have with something
and naturally they drop into idle Cos
sip. permitting their Imagination to
coin fantastic tales of their neighbors
and their tongues to retail them with
avfdity and as they pass down the
line of the grand army of hair brains
male and female, they take on all
the establishment that envy, malice
and deprayity can suggest. Which
comment is inspired by sundry good
people, victims of the rapacious scan
dal-monger. who have come to the
editor during the past several weeks,
as is their want in trouble, and laid
their grief upon his shoulders. I'm
less such gossip is outrageOusly per
sonal, the better way is to ignore
ito be utterly Indifferent to it,;
and if you are, the author, as We'll
as the tailersrin who repeat it ana
are hardly less culpable, will be cha
grined, disappointed and beaten, for
the gossiper, like any one else, loves
his handiwOrk and is humliateI
when it falls to pieces. But do not
fancy you can fool him by assuming
not to care, and proclaiming loudly
that you don't when you really
do. for being a counterfeit himself
he readily recognizes his kind, d..
person or sentiment. If it is out
rageously personaI-if it is what in
other days would be considered a
mortal offense-that is another thing
and while this paper has its own
ideas of the remedy that should be
applied in such cases, others Will
have to pursue their own course and
act in the premises without the aid
of its advice. Well has it been said

The management of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy has decided
to utilize the right Of way alongs de
the tracts for the production OF al
falfa. Farmers are being Offered the
use of the right of way for low
rental, with the stipulation that al
falfa only be grown. The road fig
ures that the growth will not bring
in a small income, but will save the
expense of moving weeds, burning
stubble, etc, while the view of the
growing plant will be more pleas ng
to the eyes of the travellers than
weeds. The new movement is one OF
the phases of the Burlington's new
agricultural development system, cal
cuIated to bring the railroad and
farmers in closer cooperation for
their mutual welfare.
