WHITE PINE Co. VITAL
STATISTICS FOR 1914

The birth record of White Pine
county for the year of 1914 almost
equalled thai of the year 1913, fall
ing only eight behind. In 1913
there were reported 161 births. In
the past year f53. Considering the
numerous departures from the dis
trict the 1914 birth rate shows al
actual Increase per thousand of in
habitants. These statistics take no
account of children born to Indian
parents. OF the 1873 births reported
rs were girls and rs were boys.
This proportion between the
seems to prevail throughout the
world, always a few more boys are
born than girls. In 5000, 900 Euro
pean births the proportion was 104
males to 100 females. Poor nutri-
ion of the mother seems to favor the
birth of boys. hence the birth rate
following wars has always favored
males.

LIBERTY BELL FOR ILLINOIS

The tongue OF the Liberty Bell has
probably carried the message OF
freedom 70 more people than the
tongue OF any other bell In the
world. and It's tones have carried
farther than the tones Of any other
bell, but there is another bell In the
United States which shares honors
with Liberty Bell. and is several
years older. II is the old Kaskas-
kia bell, which on the Eth Of July.

Toledo Gets a Forward
Looking Educator

| Toledo is to be congratulated upon &C
curing as dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences and professor Of social sci
ence on the staff of Toledo university 50
able. fearless and progressive a man as
Scott Nearing; and Detroit, by its close
proximity, may be expected to benefit to
some degree.
1t will probably be remembered that
Prof. Nearing was expelled from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania last June by the
trustees of that institution, without even
the formality of an explanation: the
aforesaid trustees not approving OF his
utterances on the subject of social condi-
tons, especially as applied to capital and
labor.
The fact that the trustees are all cor
poration men, may have little bearing
upon the subject, but their defense of
themselves, in so many and devious ways,
most of them of such trifling Importance,
places them in q position more or less
ridiculous.
The theories Of Prof. Nearing are not
original, having come into prominence
some 1900 years ago with man named
Jesus; but as applied to modern business
they are as highly Objectionable to many
of the financiers today, as they were then
to the money changers in the Temple.
All Prof. Nearing seems trying to do, is
to apply Christian principles to social con-
ditions.
It is a fact that professors and news
papers are finding it harder and harder
to indulge in free speech and make liv-
ing. Editors and college professors are
not whipped through the streets for
heresy now. Instead they are deprived
of bread"

written upon the adjustment of capital

was engulfed. It's site In now In
midchannel Of the great river.
Among the relies removed from
the old town was the bell of the
Church Of the Immaculate Concep-
ton, which had rung out the news
OF the victory Of the American
forces. and which has come to be
called the liberty hell OF the Missis-
sippi valley.
On being removed 10 what came

was swung in the steeple OF the new
church OF the Immaculate Concep-
ton. Some time about 1870 II was
cracked by being rung too hard.
thus establishing another. point In
similarity between IL and the Liber.
~ Bell. Because OF the injury to
the bell 1t was taken down from the
steeple for fear that II might fall,
or that parts Of it might fall away.
and since that time IL has been kept
in the vestibule OF the church.
There Is no dispute as to how the
Kaskaskia bell was cracked. II Is
known that the sexton pulled the
bell rope too hard while calling the
faithful TO the church, and that the
clapper struck the sound lip OF the
bell with such force as to fracture
II In so many places that for safety
the bell vas taken down.

discussion as TO how the Liberty
Pell was cracked. but the fact Ia II

Lonely Switzerland

A correspondent Of the London
Evening News, writing from &c
neva of Autumn days Ia Switzer
land" gives a gloomy picture OF the
little republic with the great wal
raging all round It. Switzerland
he says. 'is lonely and miserable
because she has no visitors. Their
haggage Is lying In her hotels just
az they left II last year, waiting for
their return. At the ofiices OF the
North German Lloyd nothing Is
changed. An elaborate model OF
the Kronxprinzessin Ceciiie Is still in
the window, and there is sailing
list which tells when the different
vessels will leave Bremen for New
York. Unfortunately the date is
1914. II Is astonishing why the Ger
mans display such confession OF
defeat 70 openly, and stranger still
that this should be the case In al.
most every one OF their shops IT,

of the world with the routes OF the

that the numbers inscribed on the

ton OF the pin In the line shows

War Waste
Cv On. PRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane>

The European nations are bluffing
manfully. Germany declares that she
can fight on indefinitely, having plenty Of
men, plenty Of food, and plenty of gold.
Russia. France, and England issue like
boastful pronouncements.
1t is all very well to whistle loudly to
keep up your courage, but whistling does
not do away with hard fact. And the
hard fact is that even were the war to
cease today it would take generation or
so to repair the colossal damage already
wrought.
| And what will be the condition Of
Europe if stubborn pride and organized
vanity continue this senseless conflict for
four or five years, as Kitchener seems
| to imagine its probable duration?
| In the English House of Lords the
other day it was declared that "the huge
war loans piled one upon another pointed
straight to the bankruptcy of Europe,
and to possible revolution on top Of that"
Commenting upon this, the Frank
| furter Zeitung made some significant
statements in regard to Germany, all the
more striking because Of that newspap-
er's close relation to the banking and
commercial interests of the empire.
"Our productive labor" says the lei
tung, "has in good part shrunk away,
while millions of the most skilled men
are now diverted into manufacture Of war
supplies. And what we make is no long.
err productive goods which till now meant
new values and an enlargement Of our
national wealth. Where we formerly
built houses, factories, machines, canals,
and merchant ships, now we produce only
war material. The work Of our hands
| disappears in the air as powder and lead.
We are using up our resources, our capt.
tai. We save, but we create no new 70
serves"
This is sound sense. No amount OF
patriotic braggadocio can conceal the
lurid fact that the whole business OF war
is pure waste. It is sowing the goods, the
money, the very energy and life-blood OF
the people in the red burrows OF slaugh-
ter.
War Is the climax Of unreason. 1t Is
the flaming triumph Of misgovernment
| II is ruin, both for conqueror and con-
quered.
Every day Europe continues this child
lish, mad struggle over nothing, at all, she
lis slipping back toward poverty and BAR
barism.
And every day that America keeps out
of the trouble she is bounding forward
toward the leadership of civilization.
