TWENTY MORE YEARS TO LIVE.

The American Health association, in session at
Cleveland talks Of adding twenty years to the
age life Of man. Such an end Is to be achieved by
the teaching Of more rational ways Of life, by sur
rundng daily existence with better sanitary condi-
tons, by improved dietary, and by more vigorous
combat against preventabe disease. Support for
the program Is found In the vital statistics; in
Europe, for example, fifteen years have been added
to the average life with the last quarter Of GEN.
fury. America can duplicate this many of the in
dustries in this country showing an increase Of ten
years more in the average life Of workers, be-
cause Of improvement in conditions under which
they labor.
What does this mean? At the time Of Augustus
the estimated population OF the world but 540,-
100000; the population Of Europe at the beginning
Of the Renaissance period Is said to have been less
than $4,000 900. In 500 years. despite the ravages
Of pcstence, famine, and and disaster Of every
kind the population Of Europe has increased to the
extent of seven.fold II the figures quoted for the
beginning Of the Christian era are approximately
accurate, then in the world people have multiplied
nearly four times in less than twenty centuries.
Such enormous increases can be accounted for by
the improvement in the manner Of living, the result
Of advance in science and education.
What will be the result on population II an aver
age Of twenty years is added to the present length
Of life may be based what has come to pass
within 30 short time. The world will be pretty
well filled up by the dawn of the twenty-frst CEN
fury. And yet there is room, for the present popu
lation Of the earth provides but thirty persons to
the square mile, North America having but twelve
and South America only seven. 1t will be some time
before this country is as badly crowded China
or india and in the latter country considerable
part is jungle.

For some reason, psychological, physiological or
not logical at ALL children do not come TO costly and
palatial homes with the same reckless abandon as
marks their entrance into the little house. There
they come tumbling over each other, overlapping
the allotted space Of baby time. They advance In
rapid succession from crib to cot till all the inches
and corners Of the little house are full They sleep

lessons that will fit them for citizenship That

must be government, and so they learn to respect
and keep the law. That progress and prosperity
may be attained there must be common interest,
and from this they gain community spirit, which Is
the basis Of patriotism. The strong may not tram
pie the weak, and the older children learn to lift

Of selfshncss, intolerance and concet rubbed

10. THE POOR INDIAN

The conference Of the Society Of American In
dams at Kansas City last week gave impressive en-
phass to the change that has come within the pc
riod Of an ordinary life time. When one Of the
speakers declared that the picturesque Indian had
gone forever he pretty close to the truth, and
yet his statement is subject to some modification.
That one may get proper perspective on the
advance made by the red men in the ways OF civil
lied industry and culture, it is necessary to first OBJ
serve the farm homes, the town residences, the
school houses and other evidences of enlightenment
that may be noted around former big reservations
and then back away matter of fifty years.
Half century ago the Sioux, the Pawnees the
Cheyennes, and other plains Indians almost
as wild as when Columbus started from Spain on
his westward journey. They had had four cen
turiea Of contact with European civilization, and
had learned but little of any good to themselves
Possession Of firearms and the introduction of the
horse increased their potential destructveness. yet
the implements of the stone age, bow arrow, spear
and war hammer were still used. Indeed, at the
Battle Of Wounded Knee in December, 1890, the
first victim to fall Captain Wallace of the Seventh
cavalry, was killed by blow from one of those
deadly stone hammers. Knives and hatchets as
sisted in lessening the drudgery of Indian work. but
the braves scorned to lay aside blankets and put on
white mans clothes and ways
An unfortunate misunderstanding led to the So
called Pine Ridge war of 1890, with the terrible
tragedy of Wounded Knee, but out of it grew
better condition. Sioux Indians speedily lost age
old manners and customs, and rapidly took up the
orderly way of life that now is characteristic rather
than exceptional. Other of the stronger tribes have
Travelled a similar course until now it is literally
true so far as they concerned, that the feath-
cred brave and the "blanket" Indian are gone while
a sturdy manhood has been added to the body of
American citizenry.
Some of the tribes the omahas, for example
and the Santee and Ponca Sioux, in Nebraska, and
the cherokees in Indian Territory long ago took
on white mans fashions. dropped their blankets,

PROTEST WAGES
BEMAINTAINED
Say Roads Should Save in
Other Ways to Meet Re-
duced Freight Rates.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Demands of
railway executives, that wages of their
employees must be reduced in proportion
to the rate cuts. decreed by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, brought
loud protests today from railroad labor
leaders here.
Formal requests of the carriers for
wage reductions, ranging from 10 to
p per cent are now being considered by
the Railroad labor board at Chicago but
labor chiefs contend the railroads must
effect economies in other directions after
July /, instead Of depending upon
wage slash to bring Down their ex-
penses.
1T Is not possible for the labor board
TO order further reductions in railroad
wages" William H. Johnston, president
OF the International Association OF Ma
chinists declared. even now the aver
age railway worker does not make
decent living wage and IL additional cuts
are made, anything is liable to happen.
The men are in an ugly frame of mind.
In view of the Labor Boards rec
ignition of the principle of the decent
living wage, we do not expect wage cuts
to be ordered just because the Interstate
Commerce Commission has reduced the
income of the railroads by lowering
freight rates"
Despite the protests Of Johnston and
other officials of the railroad employees
department Of the American Federation of
Labor. official limitations have been
given that the Railroad Labor Board will
be expected TO afford Some relief to the
carriers. by ordering a wage cut.
