Especially their business) are much
peeved that Secretary McAdoo should
ask why, with money plentiful and
Uncle Sam ready to issue more, inter-
est rates should be going up.
In the guarded utterances which
they allow to appear in print-for

that the secretary of the treasury is
forgetting his place and undertaking
to do too much. Otherwise, he is

These gentlemen overlook that a
revolution has taken place in the bank
ing business of the United States, and
that it has at last become a public
function.
| Now, the difference between pri-
vate and public function in democ-
acy is that the public function requires
explanations. 1t isn't enough for a
few men sitting at table to decide
that they will discourage specula
tion," "hold a tight rein," and other
wise lay down the rules upon which
the business of the nation may proceed
There must be showdown Of rea
sons and the reasons must be goot
reasons, else they won't hold.
Secretary McAdoo has shown thai
he is eager to cooperate literally
with the banking fraternity for the
public advantage. But it will say,

shall realize frankly that he isn't OF
his job primarily for them, but TO

THE COCkROACH,

lessor of Biology and Embryology)
- A constant source of loss and incon-
venience to the housewife, restau-
ranteur and grocer, is the omni-
present, omivorous, coclroach There
have been imported to us three foreign
species, the Australian, Oriental, and
the German or, as it is popularity called
the Croton-bug. The present unpleas-
antness existing between Germany and
her immediate neighbors on the east
and west frontiers calls to mind the
fact that the inhabitants of eastern
Germany have for generations called
the German cockroaches "Russen" as
term indicating their long-tsanding
hatred for the Russians, and the peo-
,ple of western Germany have called
them "Franzosen" because of a like
feeling toward the French.
All cockroaches are extremely wary
and feed only in darkness, hiding in
cracks and dark places during the day.
And owing to their fiat form they es

easy exit when pursued. AS a conse-
quence, the rascals usually live to en-

Their cunning must therefore be cir

as traps, but all of them utilize the

are not easily drowned and these traps

ING WITH THE RACE.

Washington, Oct. ia bulletin on
issued at an early date by William ].
Harris, director of the census, Depart |
ment of Commerce, which will contain |
all the principal information obtained |
through the census regarding the num-
Der and distribution Of the negroes,
their rate of increase, their sex and age
distribution, and their marital condi-
ton. Figures for illiteracy and school
attendance and the occupations Of ne.
groes will also be presented, as web
as data on negroes in agriculture and
on mortality among negroes. This
bulletin is preliminary to detailed re-
port on negroes in the United States
to be issued later, which will be COM
plete analytical presentation of the sta
tistics concerning the negroes.
Negro Population Of the United States.
The bulletin will show that the num-
Der of negroes in the United States
exclusive of outlaying possessions) in
1910 was 9,s27,763, and they formed
1917 per cent of the total population.
In 1900 the number of negroes was
$3.50, 1894, or 11.6 per cent of the total
population of that date The increase
among the negroes during the decade
was 993,769, or 11.2 per cent, as compar-
ed with an increase of 20S per cent
among the native whites and of 30.7
per cent among the foreign-born whites.
The growth of the negro population re-
suits from their own natural increase,
while the growth Of the white popula-
ton is accelerated by the great influx
of immigrants and the high birth rate
in immigrant families.
OF the total number of negroes in
1910 about one-fifth we're reported as
mulatto; that is, as having some white
blood. The proportion that mulattoes
formed of the total negro population
increased from IL per cent in 1870 tc
1872 per cent in 1890, and to 20.9 pei
cent in 1910.
The percentage Of illiteracy amont
negroes decreased from ST. in 1885,

Nevada HAS Only
GUN TURRETS
THROWS 1900 POUNDS OF STEEL
AND HIGH EXPLOSIVES TEN
MILES OR MORE.

Quincy, Mass, Oct 1o.-Preparations
are being made at the Fore River ship
yards here for the installation on the
battleship Nevada Of the first three
gun turrets ever placed on any Amer
lean warship. These turrets will be
the best protected of any in the world,
and they will be the heaviest ever set
up, weighing on the average about
eighty tons.
There is necessarily large amount
of work before the turrets may be
set in their proper places, putting in
protective armor below decks for the
mechanical appliances used to operate
and carry ammunition to the turrets,
laying the tracks on which the mas
sive pieces of armor are moved and
planning off the bottom of the turrets
to get them perfectly adjusted. All
of this work is well along towards
completion, so that the first turret
probably will be hoisted aboard the
! nevada next week.
Each of these turrets will have
three 14-inch guns, the most powerful
on any United States battleship and
rivalled by only few guns in the
British and German fleets. These IA
inch guns weigh on the average about
147,000 pounds and measure fifty
three feet in length. Perhaps nothing
shows the superiority of the new guns
more clearly than the charges they
will be able to throw against an ene-
envy, 1,400 pounds in weight and con-
tanning much larger amount of high
explosive to cause damage when it
hits the mark compared with an $40
pound projectile for the 12inch pieces.
Two of these three7gun turretS are
to be set up. one on the forecastle
deck and one on the quarterback,
with a two-gun turret behind and
slightly above each. Thus there will
be five 14-inch guns facing ahead and
a similar number facing astern, with
ability to concentrate the fire of all
ten guns at either side or almost d.
rectly ahead or astern. The tremen-
dous advantage of such an arrange
ment has made deep impression on
naval authorities the world over.
The New York and Texas, the only
American ships in commission with
14-inch guns, carry them mounted in
J five two-gun turrets instead of four
as on the Nevada and her sister ship
the Oklahoma, which is being con
structed by the New York Ship Build
ing Company at Camden, N. J.
The side armor OF the Nevada il
we'll along towards all being in place
but 1t is figured that between three
and four months will be needed t.
.. complete this work. Owing to thu
.. fact that the Nevada will use only OF
for fuel she will have but one smoke
, stack and will be able to concentrate
, here boilers in the middle of the shil
