THE CARS WEALTH.

The worlds richest man undoubtedly
is the Gar of Russia, Of whom it has
been said that he has so much money
that nobody can count it. And it is a
fact that the wealth that is his as con
troller of the Russian church, and as
ruler of all the Russians. including that
of the members of his extremely
wealthy family, would certainly be too
great to count, including as it does all
the wealth Of Russia, which is estimat-
ed at $35, 600, 600, 600 The Cars per-
sonal wealth, according to one statisti-
cal genius, works out at 1880 900 day,
and should Russia get down to its last
cent-or rather kopek in the royal ex-
chequer, Nicholas. single handed could
keep the entire Russian army in the
field for several weeks. Most of the
Gar wealth rs derived from landed
possessions. of which he has nearly

which, are rich timber and yielding big
rentals. The other quarter is mining

What a difference there i. in towns

What difference there is in towns
as to saving! Kansas City. it is said
has only seven million dollars on de-
post in its savings banks, while Daven-
port, Iowa, with population only
tenth as large as Kansas City, has
twenty-three million dollars of savings
bank deposits and no fear of rainy
day.
Miss Mary TeasdaIe, former resi-
dent of this city, died Wednesday,
March /, at the home of her sister, Mrs.
A. Orthoff, in Kansas City, Mo. Those
who remember her will agree with the
Tribune where it says that she was
woman Of rare excellences. one who
ever exercised, without flourish, a
power for good.
The thrift propaganda undoubtedly
will have the effect of making many
people take greater care of their dimes
and nickels. When the latter multiply
into dollars the will power for saving
dollars viii have formed in way par
allel to that by which physical strength
came to the Greek hero who began by
lifting calf and lifted it every day
till it becgme an OK.

In Bygone Days.

When we see the boys Of today with
their nobby 'store clothes, the editor
is reminded that he was II years old
before he ever had on coat, a pair of
trousers or shirt not made by his
mother, He was about that age before
he ever wore a pair Of socks or a pair
of suspenders that We're not knit by
his mother from wool or cotton. carded,
spun and knit by the same patient
hands
The same was true of any mittens he
wore up to that time. In the winter
she made our caps, in the summer she
made our hats with straw selected in
the field, braided and sewn by the
same hands And our mother was
just doing what the mothers of other
boys were doing in those days.
We wonder how they found time 70
do it but we imagine they shamefully
neglected their bridge whist, their au-
tomobile drives, their afternoon calls
and their morning visits over the tele-
phone

Vital Statistics from Health Board.
The Infant Death Rate of Wisconsin is
More than Seven Times that of En-
tire Population, Including Infants.

In some localities the high mortality
rate is due to incomplete registration,
since not all births are recorded and
deaths are.
In Iowa county the birth rate should
be twenty-five per thousand inhabitants
if properly registered As it is, it is
1872 per thousand. Sixty per cent of
deaths occur the first month in Iowa
county, more than any other Wisconsin
county.
There are five thousand babies year
who die in Wisconsin and it is estimated
that half of this number of deaths could
be prevented The death rate of United
States total population per 900 is 14.2.
Death rate for Wisconsin total popula-
tiou is l15.
Important agents in reducing the in
FAINT death rate:
(al Well informed parents.
(h) Doctors and midwives with spec
ial training in obstetrics.
(c) Well trained nurses.
I'D Well equipped hospitals.
Cd Pure milk supply.

BRIEF AMERICAN CHILDHOOD

There is no childhood 50 pitifuliy brief
as that If the average American.
Whether it is the fault of the hurry of
our life or is because the children are
allowed to misguide their own destinies,
scornng parental restraint after the
age Of 10. it is hard to say. Even be-
fore the high school they led a life of
gaity. including movies, vaudeville and
parties. Late hours are a matter of
course and simplicity Of dress is consid-
cred old fashioned and provincial.
The love Of amusement is natural.
The child denied all pleasure is apt to
grow into a stohd prig, Love of pref
ty clothes is a rooted instinct and taste
in such matters should be cultivated as
early as may be- But when the time
that should be spent in preparation for
mature NE IL sIAoi Ntiitd Aid 'ibSlAuhN-
ed by amusements that belong to the
grown-ups then something valuable is
denied to the child.
Teachers find the problem one of the
greatest they must solve The child
who has been at dances or movies the
night before is apt to nod the next
morning over algebra. Lack of sleep
on account of too many amusemonts
seriously interferes with physical and
mental development,
Aside. however, from the practical
loss in the training and development Of
the young there is a greater loss yet
when the child is allowed too many
pleasures too young the loss of the
power Of enjoying simple happiness
The youth of 20, nowadays too often is
a bhse creature, wearied by over much
frivoling. The girl who has been to
parties since her early teens loses the
rapture of her first ball The forcing
process is a bhghting one. Much Of the
JOY and happiness of life is lost to those
children who are denied the slow
growth and simplicity Of quiet and
controlled childhood. Spokane Spokes-
nan- Review.

ABANDONING THE PHILIPPINES

From the international standpoint,
the Philippines are as much as part
of the territory of the United States as
India is part of the British empire.
1t would, perhaps, be easier to organ
ize safe and responsible independent
government in India than in the Philip
pines. Few sensible people in this
country regard our continued presence
in the Philippines from the standpoint
of what Bryan and the Democratic
platform call imperialism. We are
engaged there 10 a great work of edu-
cation, health improvement, agricul-
tural direction, good policing and hon
est taxation. Foreign interests have
important rights Of property and of
commerce in the islands AZ for FIN
perieHsm" the worst form Of it is in
volved in the doctrine Of the last DEM
ocratic platform, which demands that
we must abandon all our good work for
the Filipino people, but must appro-
pirate and keep for ourselves certain
desirable coaling stations and naval
bases. This is imperialism of the bad
kind. What England is doing for the
people Of Egypt and the Sudan repre-
sents Imperialism at its best, although
Engishmen tell us that nothing they
are doug is quite as good as the work
we have done in the Philippines, par
ticularly in teaching the people to gov
ern their own towns and villages, be-
sides giving them security, trade edu
cation, and protection from epidemic
diseases. The senate talked loosely
and much about guaranteeing the
| Independence of the Philippines. and
then dropped the idea as manifest
absurdity. From "The Progress of the
World" in the American Review of
Reviews for March, 1916.
