that Ben oicott Is not more popular
than he is, is because he is typica,
business man. his attention conferred

the stratesems and subterfuses Of
politics.
Wen cheerfully admit that either
Walter Pierce or Charles Hall would
make more pompous governor than
Ben Oicott; but pomp and bluff are
not the attributes that are needed

iLLIGITIMATE BIRTHS
IN STATE STARTLING

Richmond, Va, Dec. 15.-In discus
sing the number of births which oc-
cur in Virginia out of wedlock Dr.
w. A. Picker. State Registrar of vi
tai Statistics, releases the following
facts and figures:
For the year 1921 there were re-
ported 1924 such births, or 55.S per
1000 births. Of this total 967 were
white and 1857 colored. The figures
in Virginia for 1920 showed 3,617 lie
climate births, with a rate of SAL.
For 1921 the white Legitimate birth
rate was 1913 per 1000 births. while
the colored rate was 1867, or nearly
seven times as great.
According to Dr.. Picker every
eighteenth child born in Virginia in
1921 was thrown upon the State with
out the protection of proper home in
fluences. He figures that one out of
every fifty white children found it
self in this deploable plight, with one
seventh Of the colored births, illegl-
innate.
Statistics for the Registration area
of the United States for 1920 show a
rate of native born illegitimate whites
Virginia rate is nearly two and one
half times as great. Even the white
rate in Virginia surpasses the white
rate in the United States, the former
being 1913, the latter but 1872. The
rate fnative born illegitimate whites
in the United States is 1877, which is
still less than the white rate in Vir-
gina. -,
The strange fact is set forth that the
foreign born illegitimate birth rate
in the United States is but 81, or lit
tie more than ono-fourth that OF the
white Virginia rate. 1t is also shown
that the Russian and Italian rates are
only 2.5, or one-eigntn that Of the Viz
ginia white rate. 1t is thought that
early marriages among Mediterranean
land ALPINE races may account in part,
but not wholly. for this discrepancy,
Discussing the subject OF plural

births, DR.. Picker states that there
were 630 pairs of white twins and s
sets of white triplets, against 35f
pairs of black twins and one set Of
black triplets, in the figures enumara-
ted for Virginia in 1921. This makes
a total of about 1000 children born
at Legitimate plural births, or one
out of every 80. One out OF every
thirty-eight white, and one out o.
every thirty black children, was born
either q twin or triplet. One out OF
every thirty-seven white iliegitimatc
children was born a twin, which IS
about the same as the general white
average. But Dr.. Picker figures that
of black illegitinates, only one child
out of each seventy is born a twin.
He thereupon remarks: "The start
ling fact is thus shown that, when a
white girl goes astray, she is nearly
twice as apt to bear twins as is col
ored one"

FREEDOM OF THE STRAITS

Somebody is going to command
| the Turkish Straits. That is too
important and troublesome a
thoroughfare to be left long with
out a master. If the conference
iof powers at Lausanne does not es-
tablish an official control OF the
great sea thoroughfare, somebody
will promptly come along and grab
it.
The Straits can be dominated
either by land or by sea. The
former type Of control has been
exercised by Turkey in the past,
and proved to be a huge miSfor-
tune to the Niles and the world in
general, in the last war, Turkey
would like to have the same con-
troll again, ard Russia, which
could boss Turkey, wants Turkey
to have it. Then either Turkey or
Russia could stop outside traffic
through the DardanelleS and the
Bosporus whenever they chose.
The Allies. particularly Great
Britain. want the land defenses
abolished, as they were supposed
TO be in the recent Turkish treaty,
and a naval coptrol established,
like that now exercised by the Al
lies. That, Of course, would favor
Great Britain, because she has the
biggest navy. Such control, how
ever, would be exercised nominal
", at least, through the League
Of Nations or some other inter
national body.
Such solution is naturally pre-
ierred by the United States gov
eminent 10 the Turkish-RusSian
one, as more conductive to Ameri-
can interests and the peace OF Eu-
rope.

THE STOCK DIVIDENDS

There is no blinking the vide
spread indignation aroused by the
bumper crop of stock dividends
distributed lately by corporations.
The public has not been much
disposed to criticise the Supreme
Court for declaring such dividends
not subject to the income tax; the
court is presumed to have had suf-
fcient legal reasons for that de
cision. But morally, if not legal
", the small taxpayers on whom
an increasing burden falls seem to
consider the immunity OF these &C
foundations as indefenSible and a
grevious wrong against them.
Here are surplus profits, they
argue, which normally would have
been distributed as cash dividends,
but which were withheld in order
to evade the excess profits tax, as
long as that tax was in force, and
withheld further until they were
pronounced free from the income
tax. They are now distributed
without paving the government
any tax whatever, when the IN
comes of less prosperous corpor-
atoms and citizens are taxed with
grim certainty,
A large part OF these profits
the critics insist, properly belongs
to the government. Instead OF go
ing to the government, it becomes
new fixed capital, which in turn
will be held to. justify normal EARL
ingS and become a sort OF hXed
charge against the consuming pub
| lie, without doing the government
any good, No adequate answer
seems to have been given to this
criticism.
1t may be that nothing can be
done about that. 1t is being urg-
ed. however, that the existing law
provides for a tax OF 3 per cent
on the net income OF corpora
tons which accumulate profits
beyond the reasonable needs OF
business, and that this law may
apply to the Accommodations i'll ques-
ton. Here is at least a possibility
worth exploring.

FOR FATHER

This paragraph, though other
wise entitled, is intended for the
mother, wife and children and to
be kept in secret from the head of
the house. Its purpose is to make
you happy at Christmas time. We
know YOU want to have happy
Christmas. We also happen to
know that your heart is in the right
place, and that perhaps during the
excitement or enthusiasm of the
moment YOU have failed to bal
ance the heart and the mind, and
this oversight may confuse the
joys OF approaching festivities.
There is only one way to be
happy and that is first to be hon
est with ourselves; In our eager
ness TO make others happy let lis
not forget the real fellow upon
whom happiness depends. Let us
stop moment to get proper con-
ception of what is due to the real
Santa Claus rather than fool our
selves as to who he may be. You
know who the fellow is that is
giving all he can and sometimes
more than ne can afford that
the needs OF yourselves and
the little ones may be supplied.
You know who the fellow is
that comes home late from
work and is fused at because he
keeps dinner waiting; YOU know
who the fellow is thatiS expected
to pay all TIC bills for all the pres
cnts that's put in the stockings of
everybody. You know the fell
low that in reality furnishes a mcr-
~ Christmas. who is thinking OF
everybody else and is seldom
thought OF. You know who the
fellow is that pays for a new coat
for YOU and wears All old one.
You know the fellow that buys |
the candies and oranges that go in
all the stockings, and seldom gets |
anything in his old sock. You
know who is penalized for all the !
joys OF Christmas, gives the most |
and gets the least Then why not |
let this year be his happy year and .
be honest with the family and the |
rest Of the world?
Try this simple remedy, furnish |

ness and those you want to make /
