rifce of valuable lives. Some of
US r still wondering what pur-
pose was served by this action but
one thing is certain. The American
occupation broke down the doors
of an ancient prison in which hu-
mn beings had been tortured,
from which hope had fed, and
which stood in the twentieth CEN
fury 6 cruel exponent of the meth
DDS of the dark ages, unrebuked
and unchallenged.
When in a foreign land our fight
ing men,. who are not sentiment
talists, open dungeons and break
shackles in the name Of humanity
and progress, it is high time for
the representatives of a civilized
state to pay some attention to the
same problems at home. The con.
vict is undergoing punishment; he
is deprived of liberty and friends

THE DEATH RATE

According to a bulletin Of the
Bureau of Census the death rate of
the registration area of the United
States for 1913 was AL per thou
sand estimated population. In 1912
It was 1879, in 1911 14.2:: For the
years from 1901 to 1905 the aver
age was 1862, from 1906 to 1910
it was 15.l. We are therefore
continuing IN improvement, the
average for 1911, 1912 and 1913
being I4.06. These are the exact
figures as stated in the report of
the census bureau. What they
mean in actual lives is not indi-
Gated except by closer analysis.
The decrease from 1862 the aver
age from 1901 to 1905 to AL, the
average for 1913 amounts to Is
per cent or a reduction of one
death in every eight. If the same
rate had prevailed in 1913 as in
the period from 1901 to 1905 there
would have been l,025, 446 deaths
recorded instead of 500 1923, an ex-
cess of 1858
The largest percentage of de-
crease was shown in Rhode Island
Q5.D followed by New York,
O2.S), New Jersey Q1.2) and
Massachusetts (9.6). 1t seems to
be only a peculiar coincidence that
these leaders should all be in one
small section of the entire territory
discussed. Slight increases which
occurred in some states michigan
4.5; New Hampshire 8, and Indiana
OBJ r believed to be due in some
cases to increase accuracy Of regis
tration. The state with the lowest
death rate is Washington with SIS
deaths per thousand population
and then in the following order
come Minnesota 1914: Utah, lilo,
and Wisconsin and Colorado lis.
The doubtful honor of possessing
the highest rates falls to New
Hampshire with Ill; North Caro-
lima 1913; Maryland, 1862: Vermont
1853; Maine, 1873 and Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New York and
Rhode Island, $50. 1t seems that
in the New England states there
occurred most of the higher death
rates and most of the improvement
frcm previous years.

LehiGh VALLEY.

There has been evidence OF steady sell
ing OF Lehigh Valley for months. The
popular explanation Of this weakness has
been the expectation that the 10 per cent.
dividend would have TO be reduced. Last
year Lehish earned about II per cent.
but earnings during the present fiscal year
have pointed TO a much smaller surplus.
But what IL true of LehIgh Valley in
this respect Is also true OF the other hard
coal stocks. such as Reading. and none OF
these has shown the same degree OF weak.
ness The declaration OF the Lehlgh divi-
dend at the regular rate yesterday re-
moved the common explanation OF the de-
cline, but another. and probably the cor
rect one. was Immediately provided in the
institution OF a new suit against tho COM
pany by the Department Of Justice. The
news caused sympathetic break in
