SINS OF THE

The clearing house for mental de-
fectives" Of the New York Postcard
uate hospital not long ago issued a
statement to the effect that of the
10000, 900 school children in the United
States, about rs pei cent, or nearly
$4,000. 600. are defective. The state
ment explains that the word defective
is applied not only to those mentally
below par, but to the large number of
children suffering from adenoids,
swollen tonsils and similar physical
defects.
In attempting to discover the why
for such ar army Of subuormal and
abnormal children, the Chicago Trib-
une ventures the opinion hat while in
part they are a product OF the present
day economic and industrial condi.
tons. after all 1t is largely a case of
the sins Of the fathers being visit
ed upon the children" That alcohol
is responsible for the larger part Of
these Sins for which the offspring
must suffer is vouched for by physi'
clans and scientists whose ability to
pass upon the question cannot be
questioned.

The WAY Of Proaress.

The dog barking at a passing auto
mobile is generally supposed TO be as
telling a symbol of futile objection TO
the march of progress as could well
be imagined. In almost the same
category, however. belongs the strike
of the stevedores IN New Orleans
against the Introduction of the cleo
trio truck to transport freight be
tween vessels and warehouses. The
wonder is that this improvement has
been so long delayed instead Of only
now appearing-and then as a source
Of a new labor difficulty. One cannot
have much sympathy for opposition i'll
this particular instance. The motor
vehicle in all of its forms has come
to stay. and the rest Of the world has
been rather rapidly adjusting itself tc
the new condition-Engineering Rec

ALCOHOL AND HEALTH.

The records Of the hospitals in our
own and other countries testify to
the lowered vitality of patients through
the use Of alcohol by their parents.
The Henry Phipps Institute for Con-
sumptives In Philadelphia reports that
mortality in 1908 was 80 per cent
higher in patients with alcoholic pa
rents than in those with n~on-alcoholic
parents. Doctor Arrivi found tuber.
culosis in 10 per cent of drinkers
children and in only 1.S per cent Of
children of non-drinkers. Doctor Laiti-
men found that children Of drinking
parents are backward from the start,
and in proportion to the drinking OF
the parents. From a large number Of
cases examined 1t appears that IL per
cent of the children of abstaining pa.
rents die in the first year. while %
per cent Of the children of moderate
drinking parents die the first year.
II both parents are alcoholics, one
child In five will become insane, one
child in three will be epileptic OF
hysterical, one in seven will be born
deformed. only one in six will be nor
NAL; whereas. If both parents are to
tai a~bstainers, nine out OF ten will
be normal and will tend to have
normal development, rising to one de
gree higher and nobler than the 'av
erage OF their parents.

Trade Dizziness Universal.

The New York Sun is as hostile to
the Underwood tariff as possible. 1t
Is alarmed over the large adverse bal
ance of trade In seven months Of the
new customs law. But this adverse
balance is due chiefly to the decrease
of exports, and that cannot be ex-
planned by our tariff; 1t can only be due
to dullness in trade abroad. And this
is n Of the many evidences that the
dullness of trade in this country Is
not a local phenomenon, but is a part
Of a condition Of trade that exists
throughout more or less Of the COM
mercial world. In an effort to give the
Underwood tariff the worst possible
showing The Sun can only find an
increase Of $4,000. 900 in imports In
seven months. That mount of In
crease can have no effect upon do
nestle production. The wooden and
worsted mills, which have had the
greatest fear Of the tariff, r the
least affected by dullness in trade. &C.
cording to the circular letter Of a Bos-
ton bank. The steel business, which
is the dullest and was the first to ex
perience depression, has had no COM
petition to speak Of, and showed less
concern than any other industry over
tariff changes.

PARADISE FOR THE BIRDS
Temperate Zone for the F~eathereo
Friends Of Man.

Up in the far country where the
timber fails, the calendar is respect
ed. There is no summer before the
official day set for it. The ground Is
held fast by frost until June Is well
started. There are lurries of snow,
wild, bitter winds, a sky that has no
mercy. And then, suddenly, the wind
shifts and m out of the south 1t
is summer then with a leap.
The interest of the temperate zone
in the ~northland is that it is there
that have gone a great many OF the
migrating birds which paid us a fe"
days visit and passed on. For all It's
inhospitality to man, hat country IN
summer is a paradise for birds. It's
marshes are safe refugees from two
and ~four-footed enemies. There is ex
haustless material for nests. And ou'
of the pools come myriads Of insects

for the southwark bird movement ar
rives.
Some mar has said that there il
no God north of latitude SO. He di'
not inquire as to what the birds
might have thought of that.-Toled'

that such leadership had brought 1t to
deserved ruin. That was certainly the
verdict Of the people at the last cleo

TARIFF WORKS WELL
wisdom OF Democratic Policy Is
Being Proved.
Ample Revenue Provided for the
Needs Of the Country and a Bur-
den Lifted From the Shout
ders of Taxpayers.

The Republicans are disappointed in
the new tariff bill. 1t is failing to
bear out their predictions Of evil.
They began making such predictions
In November. 1912, and actually grew
TO believe in them for a time. But the
facts have proved too stubborn.
In a recent discussion in the house
Of representatives Congressman Rain
ey Of Illinois showed that the new
tariff measure is producing more rev.
enue than It's trainers expected it to
produce. In fact, the import duties
collected up to June l were within
500, 900 Of reaching the mark hat had
been set to be reached by July l. The
Illinois congressman predicted that
the excess over the amount expected
would reach $40, 900, 900.
When the Underwood tariff law was
framed the trainers expected 1t to
yield 1870, 000, 900 by the list Of July,
1914. The prediction has been made
that the yield will really be nearer
$500, 900, 900 than $270.000. 900. The
miscellaneous receipts, the internal
revenues and other sources of gov
eminent funds will yield the usual
amounts.
In 1912 the customs receipts
amounted to s311.321.0 00. In 1918 the
amount was 1918, S91 900. During the
month OF May the receipts averaged
owe th%ree-quarters of a million dollars
daily. 1t is easy to see that the diff
ference between the receipts of 1911;
and those of 1914 will hardly amount
to more than the cost Of one first
class d~readnaught.
Against this slight loss In revenu'
must be set the saving to the con
sumner following the reduction OF thu
old Chinese wall duties Of the Payne
Aldrich bill. Even the loss of the rev
enues is Offset by the collection Of tn
income and corporation taxes. o.
June / $10,557,221 of these taxes ha'
been collected.
It is clear that II the nation is banl
rupted It will not be because of tn
workings of the Underwood tariff bill
The close of the present fiscal yea
will easily demonstrate that fact.

NO G SALOON.

You may have seen a legalized
saloon, but you have never seen a
legal saloon. The liquor business has
never submitted to legal restraints
