Maine In the Limelight.
is being watched BY Wall s

Maine is being watched by Wall Street
these days with scarcely less interest
than the stock market itself. II the Re
publican party wins by anything like as
big a majority as II claims in that State
there will be rejoicing in the fna ncial
district. In n sense Maine is regarded
as an index to Republican fortunes In
the East this year. Accordingly broker
age houses are keeping their wires hot
between New York and Portland and Au-
gusta. 1t II believed that n decisive Re-
publican victory will be the signal for a
vigorous bull movement. because that Is
likely to mean a Democratic exodus from
Washington later on. But that victory
must be decisive TO have an appreciable
effect on the prices of securities. other
wise neither party will be convinced that
It is wrong IN its DEMONSTRATIONS.

BRITISH BIRTHS DECREASE
10000 IN ONE YEAR


London, Jan. 3-The tremendous
influence Of the war in checking the
normal growth of population is shown
conclusively by the statistics which
have just been compiled for SO of the
largest towns in the United Kingdom.
The total decrease in the number of
births in these places is at the rate Of
10000 annually, while the increase in
deaths is $4,000 a year, the compar-
ison being made with the year 1918.
In the County Of London, the de-
crease in births during the last 10
weeks, compared with the eorrespon-
ding period Of 1913, is more than
1000, while the increase in deaths is
1870. Greater London, including what
the Registrar General calls ''the outer
ring" shows a total decrease Of $4,000
births and an increase in the humber
OF deaths Of 10000, making a net de-
crease in the population of $1,000,
compared with 1913.
There have been a marked increase
in deaths among persons more than
so years old, caused BY their inability
to go to warner climates as they
usually have done during the cold
weather.
tuberculosis, heart disease and
cerebral hemorrhage, augmented by
worry and excitement, caused 400
deaths in London during the week
ending Nov. 2O--An increase Of more
than 1)O compared with the same
week Of last year.

REFERRING to the atzxdo5gersr
Of Missouri, he 81 Louis Times has .
WARM editorial showing very clearly
that the tax rate would be much lever
and the receipts much larger If the
PeoPss did not dodge their taxes. The
following are 3 few extracts from
thia editorial. which win be Of interest
70 al tax payers.
"St Louis-perhaps al other cities
are IL the same fz-has a small army
Of wealthy ~tax-dodgerS who are rob
bing the city Of revenue annually, and
who force the burden Of city mainte-
nance on the shoulders Of The mar
with the small house and lot. The
rich tax-dodger doesn't are about an
increase in taxes. Hen save so
much more and force the taxpayer
who really pays a just amount TO meet
the increase.
The full proof of this wholesale tax
lodging process is brought to light in
the inventory Of estates, where it is
found, almost without exception, that
the deceased had been paying taxes On
but q ridiculous fraction Of HE .es.ssl
wealth.
IF St. Louis received what It should
receive on the basis Of the present tax
rate and actual wealth Of its citizens.
there would be no necessity for a tax
increase for years to come. And this
poverty and financial stringency which
is making certain city departments a
laughing stock could be eradicated.
Let's round up the tax-dodgers by
q concerted effort on the part Of the
COURT, city officials and the Legis-
lature, If necessary. The wealthy man
is not paying his Just share. and there
is . way BY which he can be brought
to time. The duty Of officials is clear,
and the men who actually pay taxes
demand . performance Of that official
duty

kEEPING BOYS on EARN.

Making the farm home and
life attractive and keeping the
sons and daughters so interested
in farm life that they will not
leave the farm has been the pol
icy Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Foun-
tain Of Centralia, Mo. Mrs.
Lucy Fountain Morris, their
daughter, attended Hardin and
is well known in Mexico.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Fountain
base five sons and one daughter
all grown-and only one son
uuit the farm for the city. Each
was given a complete university
education and a peep into city
life. Three sons and a daughter
are married and each lives in a
modern home on a 1,600 acre
farm. One son, a bachelor, lives
with his parents says the Kan
sas City Star.
we devoted a lot of attention
and thought to the rearing of
our children without lessening
our desire to grow better crops
and keep better live stock" Mr..
Fountain said. THAT keeping
our boys and one daughter inter-
ested was mighty easy. 1t didn't
offend them to give them $500
to $1,000 at a time and set them
to watching it grow. Boys and
girls like to be partners with
their parents. If they cannot
they must not be expected to
take much interest in the work.
Employees are interested only in
the extent of the amount they
are paid. Most parents make
employees of their children.
How can a parent expect a
boy or girl to be interested only
in farm life when they spend
.twenty-one years for board only.
II the American farmers would
devote a little more thought and
attention to growing boys and
girls to remain on the farm with
out lessening their interest in
crops and live stock every rural
community would be better cul-
tivated and cultured"

MIssoURIANs generally, headed
by Senator Stone. and Reed, and
Speaker Clark, are endorsing Judge
W. W. Graves Of the Missouri Sup
rene Court for appointment by Pres
ident Wilson as Chief Of Justice Of
United States to fll the vacancy made
by the death Of Justice Lamar. We al
so notice that pressure is being
brought to bear on President Wilson
to appoint Ex-President Taft to this
place.
The appointment Of Judge Graves
to this important place would meet
with the cordial approval of people

and we believe that Judge Graves is
peculiarly fitted for a position on the
