Burton Holmes as guide. They saw
more Of the Grand Canyon in two hours
than an ordinary visitor to natures

The Grand Canyon lecture Is one Of

must be quite lot Of sclerossified
livers in the State, sort of hang
over from the wetter epoch, menac-
ing their owners with some curtail-
ment of the expectation. Then, too,
the register of vital statistics boasts
that over 70 per cent of Kansas
population I is in the country or
towns of under $500. He assumes
that folks living in the country live
longer than those in the cities. But
this is dangerous. too; certain very
fatal diseases have been driven to
the country by reason of the super
ior sanitation of the cities, so that
the best vital statistics nowadays
strongly suggest that the town, as a
place in which to live long, has a
good many advantages over the
country.
We guess that the real explana-
ton is that Kansas vital statistics
fail to count up all the people who
die.

MORE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Of all the outrages against for
eigners in Mexico from the very be-
ginning of the troubles in that coun-
try, none has been so excuseless, SO
cold-blooded, so obviously designed
to force the hand of the Washing
ton Government, as that reported
from the state of Chihuahua, in
which it is said seventeen Americans
were deliberately murdered. They
were taken from train, lined up
and shot, presumably by Villista
bandits.
There could have been but one
purpose in such a sickening outrage.
That is, to compel Washington to
recognize that the recognition of
Carranza has not restored order,
peace, or security to Mexico. Villa
threatened some weeks ago that he
would take measures to prove that
the American Government has made
matters worse instead of better by
adopting Carranza as its particular
protege. He has been making those
measures pretty effective thus far.
If this most recent Villa perform
ance is as vicious as it appears now
it will come near to forcing a show
down to determine whether the Car
rama regime is going to be strong
enough to restore and maintain or.
der. The real question is whether
he has sufficient backing in Mexican
public opinion reasonably to insure
that he can do the things expected
of him. The United States cannot
permit a regime of brigandage ano
assassination, worse than we have
yet seen, to continue in Mexico
even under a government that en-
joys our patronage.
The Washington times., 1916-01-12

well as externally; but always a
unit against the danger from out
side. The quarter-million of their
population few years ago has been
fearfully decimated by the two Bal
kan wars and the present conflict, in
which, as five centuries ago, they are
found holding out after their
brother state of Serbia has been
crushed. The juggernaut of Ger
manic ambition is now rolling it's
military wheels over them, and it
may well be doubted whether, as an
independent state, they will ever
again play a part in the world
worthy of the role they have held
in the past.
The Washington times., 1916-01-12
KANSAS, LONGEVITY, AND
BOOZE

There is reason, to fear that the
first explanation why Kansas death
rate is so remarkably low, is that it
isn't. The State records a death
rate annually of 9.8 to the thousand
of population. If that were a per-
manent, continuing ratio, it would
indicate that Kansans are living an
average of a trifie over 100 years
each; which is a bit strong, even for
Kansas.
The register of vital statistics,
assuming that his figures are all
right, explains that Kansas is eco
nomically an ideal community, that
it has no effete rich and no paupers;
that its people are intelligent
enough to take care of themselves
and, finally, that they don't drown
their hopes of long life in booze
which is there prohibited.
Some holes in the skinner are
reasonably apparent, Kansas has
sst always been a dry State. There
