Deaths Hand Is Heavy.

Death has laid a heavy hand on the
Democratic members of the House and
Senate since the Sixth-fifth Congress was
convened year and three months ago.
The passing on Wednesday Of last week
Of Senator Benjamin r. Tillman, Of South
Carolina. adds a fifteenth name to the list
Of Legislators who have been stricken since
the United States declared war against
Germany, and 10 OF the is were Demo-
Gratis.
The Democratic loss in the Senate has
been amazingly heavy. Eight members
Of the upper house have died since April.
1917. and seven Of the eight were men,
bers of the majority party The full list
is: Lane. Of Oregon; Hustine, Of Wiscon-
sin; Newlands. Of Nevada; Hughes, OF
New Jersey; Brussard, of Louisiana; Stone,
Of Missouri, and Tillman. of South Caro-
lima. James H. Brady. of Idaho, is the
only Republican name on the mortality
record.
Four important committees have beer
affected by the death toll. TiIlman was
chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee
Stone headed the Foreign Relations, New.
lands was the, Interstate Commerce Com.
mission chairman and Hughes presided
over the Pensions Committee.
The loss by death in the House Of Rep
resentatives fell more heavily on the Re-
publicans than on the majority party
Helgeson. Of North Dakota; ComstOck, OF
Indiana Hill, of Connecticut. and Cap
stick. Of New Jersey. were members Of the
minority. while Martin. Of Illinois; Bath
rick, Of Ohio. and Jones, of Virginia, wer,
Democrats.
The death rate in the Sixty-fifth Con
gress, which has averaged one a month
is a record in the history of Congress I
was almost equaled during the three ses
sions of the Sixty-first Congress, from
March. 1909, to March. 1911. when eieh
members Of the Senate were called b,
death. The mortality figures for the lowe
house Of the Sixty-first Congress were not
however, as high as the total that alead
has been reached in the Sixty-fifth Con

What does the newspaper mean to

What does the newspaper mean to
you?
There is so much news no one can
carry all of it. Someone must make
selection. Do you appreciate how
much depends upon this selection
Upon the selection and emphasis of
the news depends the picture of the
world upon which your judgments are
based.
If business man, your decision in
business is affected by the newspaper
you read.
In politics your opinions as a voter
are swayed by them.
By what your wife reads you can
see the trend of many of her interests
and needs.
You have your thought turned In
a new channel perhaps by what you
read, and, when you find others cen
cerned as you are and that the idea
has been followed in their brains as
in yours, you possibly discover how
you can do collectively what you alone
never could accomplish.

achievement strengthen and uplift his
standards. The great world of life
which he has not touched exists to

PLANE MAY RIGHT ITSELF
Stability of Machine Has Been Re-

Most afrplanes are more or less sta
sition provided they are not damaged
by gunfire or other cause, provided
also the pilot is not wounded, and pro-
yided there is sufficient vertical space
In which to maneuyer, writes Charles
Lincoln Preston in Scribner's Maya
zine. If the pilot is wounded, ma
chine will often right itself even from
"nose dive" and 1t may happen that
the pilot meanwhile RECEIVERS conscious
ness.
This was exactly what occurred to q
friend of my own who was doubly
wounded at 10000 feet, and swooned
away, with a helpless observer on
board. During the resultant dive the
pilot came to himself and landed with
out q crash. Not infrequently, more
over, a courageous observer may save
the situation, and one such was
awarded the military cross not very
long ago for particularly daring feat.
The pilot was badly wounded and lay
over his controls, but while the air.
plane was actually diving, under full
engine power. the observer scrambled
out of his seat, hung on right outside
the bottom plane, lifted the pilot up,
and pulled the machine out Of its head

probably hundred miles an hour.
In another case the pilot was killed
outright, but the observer contrived to
sit over his dead body and assume con-

MAINTENANCE OF EFFICIENCY AND

National and State Banks, and many
thousands of small and large investors, have
suffered seriously from the decline of the

value of their securities, representing In

lars. These losses naturally diminish the
power and disposition of the public to re-
spond to the calls of the Government for
money for This danger should arouse,
venture to suggest, the anxiety and stimu-
late the efforts of the Congress and of
every patriotic citizen. more urgent and
pressing peril is forced upon our attsn-
ton by the obvious fact that de-

strength of these corporations and

many of these corporations strains which
they are unable to endure without prompt
