cred with thousands of commercial and pleasure craft, It now carries only occasional passenger steamers and small cargo boats. In every bend and infect in the river the visitor sees scores of abandoned eX- cursion steamers slowly sinking to the bottom.
 The few passenger vessels still on the river are well-equipped, but they are patronized almost entirely by Russians of the proIetarian class, for there are few foreigners in Rus sia, and members of the old intel lectual regime have no money to make such trips. -....
 One of the most pathetic scenes along the whole course of the river are the forests of abandoned fishing boats, whose slender masts, pointed toward the sky like huge fingers, seem to be calling to heaven to wit ness the death of their ancient and respected industry. Their owners have turned to more lucrative callings. ..
 In the absence of fishermen, one sees groups of sailors and long shoremen, who invariably complain of bad times and low wages. Work is difficult to obtain. and the long, shoremen therefore are willing to discharge huge cargoes from vessels at the ridiculous rate of a cent for every hundred pounds. ..+
 Nature also seems bent on com pleting the economic doom of tho historic river. for everywhere huge beds of moving sand are gathering, which block the river and imperi navigation. The sand -dredges are neither numerous enough nor suffi- ciently efficient. to remove all these impediments to river traffic.

 Attack on LaFollette

D. C.. Peck of Plainville Criticizes
 Attack on LaFollette
 Plainville, Conn.,,
 October 23, 1924. Editor of the Herald; Dear Sir:
 1 am reminded by the recent at tack upon Senator Robert NJ. LaFol- lette by Herbert Judson White, of the stoning of Christ by the Phari- sees of his day, and the reply he made. Many good works have 1 shown unto thee, for which of these works do ye stone me"
 It is very evident that the speaker at the Kiwanis club the other evening. to be charitable. was woe fully ignorant of the record made by the man he denounced. during the 40 years of his public life. I am unwilling to believe he wilfully misrepresented him.
 The writer will undoubtedly be classed among those ignorant fel- lows" who will vote for LaFollette on Nov. 1, but we can picture the surprise in store for the Rev White after the votes are counted, at the deplorable ignorance of the great common people of this country.

Buenos Aires. Oct. 24.-Countries with high birth rate have a high death rate, but there is one excep- ton in the world and that is Ar gentina, according to Alejandro E. Bunge, economist and government statistieian.
 In 30 years, Mr Bunge says. Ar gentina's death rate has dropped from 25 a thousand to l3.6 a thous- and, one of the lowest in the world, while a birth rate of 3S a thousand has been maintained. These two facts combined produce a great na- tural increase in population. The mortality of infants before reach ing one year of age is only 10 per cent. fin Argentina, compared with rates of from to 25 per cent. in other countries.
