the cash value placed on political
ambitions are consequently coming in
Back in 1856, the democratic ma
ional committee elected buchanan
president with an expense of $25,OO0.
In 1860, the republicans elected Lin
coin with 100000. That was con-
sidered a big sum then. OF recent
years it has taken millions to elect
a president. A similar range of eX-
pense prevails all down the line,
Political committees are lukewarm,

The candidate needs protection
against rapacious heelers. In Mas
sachusetts this year a new law OF
this character went into effect. 1t
permits yiolators of the law TO be
punished with loss of the office to
which they are elected, disfranchise-
ment and disqualification for public
office for three years.
Able men willing to run for office
are none too common Even II
whipped, If they make a clean and
effective campaign, they acquire al
strength that makes them a party
asset. A man who should be con
victed of breaking a law of this kind
might just as well retire to the calm
peace of private life.
A political committee, no matter
how lawless and mercenary, would
think long time before asking itsl
candidates TO take chances on a law
with teeth in It,
No doubt political committees Will
continue to spend large sums OF
money, in the present state Of our
political standards. But it is a great
advance, if candidates can be pro
tected from what is essentially black
mail. and If it shall become possible
for men to run for office, even il
they cant tap fat barrel.

A COMPARISON OF
WARS AND DISASTERS


II is popularity supposed that ,ne
rayages of war are the most fatal OF
the mishaps that can happen to the
human race, but cold figures show
that the deaths resulting from war
are insignificant when compared with
the results of earthquakes and tidal
waves and that these, as terrible
as they may appear, so to speak,
cause but mere ripple over the
mighty population of the world. This
is shown by the following figures
taken from an article in the special
war issue of the Scientific American
of November Z
Terrible as are the ravaSes OF war
thev are far surpassed by some other
disasters which from time to time
oyerwhelm the human race The
Franco Prussian war killed about
10000 in seven months. The deatA
roll of the Russo Japanese reached
about 100000 \ single earthquake
Q737) in India) has been estimated
to have caused 800 600 deaths. The
fatalities of the Messina earthquake
in 1908 can not have been far short
of 100000 A tidal wave in 1870
drowned 27,OO0 persons III Japan
causing a greater loss of life than the
whole war with China in 1884 the
earthouake in Japan in 1898 is said
to have killed 100000 people. the
Lisbon earthquake in 1855 destroyed
so OO1 human lives, while 10000
were lost in the same year in earth
duaaes in Paris.
Tc.rible as such disasters are, they
pass over the multitudes of the hu-
man population of our globe as the
merest ripples on a mighty sea. The
total population of the earth is some
where about 1890, 600. Annually there
are added to it 1900 600 souls. Every
year at least $4,000 600 are born, and
G1,O00,OO0 or 20 .0o0,OO die. This
means a daily birth rate OF about
2o.OOO, death rate of 100000. The
daily increase in population is AZ. 200.
In comparison with this irresistibly
swelling tide, what are the greatest
battles, wars or earthquakes, but al
most microscopic ripples? II we
imagine that the power were given to
some despot to order wholesale
slaughter and that guillotines were
kept busy beheading one man every
minute, night and day. this would add
only three quarters of one per cent
to the existing death rate.
