How Long Arc You Going to stayr
tcopyriEh:. 1880 BY Nat Iona, Scwspap.r ss,x,c.,

Native Americans. of native parcntagc, prob
ABLY nave the greatest longevity OF any people
on earth.
But the average duration OF life in America
Is not Increasing noticeably in the past Eencr-
Rton: on tho contrary, the expectation OF life
ior Americans OF American stock has de-
creased measurably in tho past, thirty wears
According to a tabulation Of census figures
MADE oy e. IL Forsyth. the expectation OF life
ior man OF forty years. native American OF
American parentage. 32.S years in 1890
and in 1910 II had dropped to 22.9 years For
eiEn-born whites in America gained in life
expectation In tho same years. but their life
expectation was very low TO begin with and
remains still below that Of American born
Americans.
There must be something the matter with
American life mode of living. or
course the native whites Of native parcntage
arc being added to year by year from various
foreign racial stocks and that in itself would
tend TO lower the high American expectation
OF life. But such commngling of bloods can
scarcely account for the marked lowering in
longevity mentioned above. Our ignoring of.
or Ignorance of. the rudiments OF personal
hygiene would seem the more probable expla-
nation.
Only an inconsiderable minority OF the whole
population gives serious consdc Grafton to the
study of personal hygiene or it's practical APP
piication to their lives. y fairly large
number OF American people do take some
interest in the subject. but only in n casual
way; for instance, they content to acquire
euch viows and notions as they can from va
rious unauthoritative and principally COM
mercial sources.
In fact. the crcdulity of the American pco-
pie Is as great as ever 1t was in Barnurn's hey
day. Any alfbaked fellow with a large gift
OF gall and tho price OF some printers ink can
launch himself some sort OF new fan led
specialist or authority on tho treatment Of HUI
man Ills, and sufficient number of people
will take the fellows pretenees seriously and
pay for his brand OF plausbility without n
thought TO his fitness or education. OF

Make Good or Quit"

u lCTGRE, il you can. that scene in the
l White House yesterday. Let the
magnation rest upon the stricken Presi-
dent of this republic. as he sits in his in
valids chair facing Il group of Republicans
whose loyalty to country will not permit
them longer to support their party, which
seeks 10 betray it, and makes his final plea
of this mpaign-perhaps his really final
plea, for even yet his life may be forfeit
10 the political enemies who bounded him
TO the very door of death-that the nation
keep faith with itself, with its boys who
gave their all in France, with the world
which still looks to America for guidance
along the path that leads to reconstruction
and peace. His eyes wet with tears as he
mentally visualizes that Inferno on the
fields OF Franco into which walked the boys
he had called TO the defense OF the colors.
the sick President who had called the ma
ton ito the concert of war and led it
through triumphantly, again calls it to
concert OF peace" through the league of
nations.
Such an appeal 10 the national con-
science such call 10 a great moral dcci-
sion and in such setting, has not been
heard before in all Americas varied his
tory. The scene was tragic. it was pi,itul
in that a great President, leader upon
whose lips the world has hung should be
plead the cause OF peace, but withal it was
scene OF historic, simple grandeur, one
worthy of enshrinement by the brush OF
modern Angelo.
America must make good now or quit
The President can find no alternative. 1t
is the league nothing. No substitute has
been offered or found. 1t is a nations faith
, il. the balance against Il nations faithlcss-
ness, 1t is trust preserved unbroken for
the soldiers who died against Il trust be-
traycd 1t is not a party issue. Yet it
has been made just that. The President
regrets that partisan lines have been drawn
for and against the national honor, but the
| responsibility is not his nor docs it rest
| upon the party of which he is the titular
| lead. All these things, and more, the
/ President brought out to the pro league Re-
I rubhcans who visited him, and through
/ tcm to tho nation that, with admiration
for his dauntiess courage has followed his
struggle to lead America to AN amending
peace and an mntarnishcd name
Ills final appeal-may it be final only
as 10 this bitter campaign will be an
wcrcd al the polls by a thundcrous chorus
/ OF ballots that will overwhclm those per
| iidious little Americans" who have de-
famed him and sought 10 destroy him
America Will not quit. 1t will make good.
