They are the life, the blossom Of youth

There was a great deal Of fine writing
in this vein, hut though it was commonly
decorated with fair sprinking Of statis-
teal guesscs the extent of the evil was
difficult to determine. Some thought it
would be safe to count on 10000 war
babies at least, but the estimates Of the
moro cautious for the whole Of England
were outdone hy the estimates Of others
for a single camp. Now at last some
trustworthy figures arc available and they
fail utterly to bear out the predictions
Of last winter. The Registrar Generals
returns show no change The percentage
Of illcgitimacy is approximately the same
as in normal times; the war babies have
not affected it ct all. On the head Of this
surprising discovery comes q warning 10

The following letter from an anxious seeker
after information:
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Trjbune's utteranees on questions
Of p.Afc nature have recently been so rea-
sonable and intelligent that am going 70 ask
q question which ] hope you will endeaVor
&c answer.
This morning you published an editorial
commenting on the return Of the Progressive
20 the Republican party. without question
thousands Of them have done so and many
thousands are contemplating such move
Many are dissatisfied with the new party nnd-
,po a. Won saw. that there are bosses in the
Prooressive party as we'll as anywhere else.
Others who have voted the Progressive ticket
are dissppointed for other reasons. Now,
here IL the question: What are these people
IN do7 As usual, the Democratic party In this
state Is q synonym for ineficiency, judging
from the experiences Of four years; and now
the Republican party Is dominated By the
same tyne OF men who forced the Taft nomi-
nation on the unwilling public in 1912.
This latter statement is based on the re-
cent editorial utterances OF The Tribune
which severely criticised the actions OF the
corrupt Legislature and the weak and amoi-
tious Governor Now, M Editor, what are
we 70 do Surely your temper is not turning
Democratic-you have always opposed that
party as q Republican organ. Out OF your
own mouth. or rather, from your own pen,
the party which you support Is condemned
as being totally incapable Of governing
Where shall we Progressives turn? Is not
the spectacle Of a Republican dominated Con-
stitutional Convention operated by reaction
srv politicians enough 90 turn US away from
the G.. O. P? You have condemned all the
greater parties-whst would you have US 90
l. n. A. QUANDART.
Brooklyn, June 10, 1915.
Il is true that the present condition Of
the Republican organization in this state
cannot make a powerful appeal to Progress
sives seeking q new political abode. 1t
makes no greater appeal to thousands Of
Republicans who are Republicans despite
conditions against which they have fought
and are fighting. A good many Progress
sives. nevertheless, have decided that there
is more chance Of making the Republican
organization just what they want it to be
by work from within than by fighting the
marty from without course which has
merely given Tammany chance at state
control. II the returning Progressives and
the progressive Republicans together can
not make the Republican party truly mod
ern, truly progressive, they certainly are
more likely to accomplish something tow
ard that standard by working in union
in the one party than in competition in
two parties.
If that idea seems too optimistic to our
correspondent-if he deems the Republican
party hopeless-he will always have the
right Of any citizen to be political eclec-
tic, an independent voter.

outbreak Of similar nature In the Bureau
Of Mines:

We should insist upon careful checking
Of eU statements Of the commercial aspects
OF governmental work OF this description as
we'll as OF its technical features. 1t Is lmpos-
.ible TO believe that governmental agencies
such as have alluded to could fan TO gam
in value by the incubation Of sense OF re-
sronsihiIity TO the technical societies oil the
country. It would probably reduce the temp
tation to play TO the gallery; 1t would at any
rate prevent the deplorablc spectacle OF a
member Of the Cabinet announcing techm-
cal discovery originating in his department
I'M terms Of combined ignorance and eKtraya-
canoe of claim which would almost justify
exclusion from the mails II employed by an
ordinary company promoter.
It is for the constructive character OF
his criticism that Mr.. Lidbury's address
is particularly worthy of notice, nor can
it be doubted that mischievous legislation
in these affairs is attributable in large
measure to the apparent apathy Of those
who not only have the right to speak, but
whose duty it is to make themselves
heard.

Bible Reading Wasted.

The Rev. W. Y. Fullerton, of the Baptist
Missionary Society told a good story at the
anniversary meeting of the international
Bible Reading Association. As showing that
some people needed guidance in the selection
of their Bible reading, Mr.. Fullerton recalled
an incident reminiscent Of his mission days
when a man came TO his meeting and told OF
his efforts TO comfort his wife as she lay
upon the sickbed. 81 read the Bible TO her

The German government will be interested
to hear from Mr.. Bryan that the note was
"softened" after his resignation. In fact,
let the German government wait a bit and
Mr.. Bryan will no doubt oblige with a COM
plete report on the deliberations Of the
Cabinet.
General du Points friends will hope that
out Of the powder business into the Equitable
will not prove simply a variation Of the old
adage.
Apparently the German-Americans consider
Mr.. Bryan's diplomacy as clumsy outside the
Cabinet as in.

WOMEN SHOULD TAKE WARNING

If the statement made at a New
York Assembly of women, that healthy
American women are so rare that they
are almost extinct, is true, it is time
for the women of America to take
warning and look to their health. It
may be headaches, backaches, drag
ging down pains, nervousness, mental
depression that are tell-tale symptoms
of some organic arrangement for
which Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compounds simple remedy made
from roots and herbs-is specific and
may be relied upon to restore women
to a healthy normal condition.-Adv.
