MR. KEITH'S LIFE WORK.
Benjamin F. Keith not only made
a fortune out of the popularization
of vaudeville, but he gave the coun
try a new kind of vaudeville, and a
vastly better, cleaner, more desirable
form of amusement than it had been
before. His was a case in which the
reward that he deserved found its
way to him in most substantial form.
The work that he did will not end
with his domination of much of the
best amusement of this form in the
country. The ideals he established
will have to be continued for a long
time as guides to those who will
hereafter purvey the entertainments
of the public

CITY AND COUNTRY
DEATH RATES.
An analysis of the death rates of
New York city and of rural New
Tk State shows that the deaths
per thousand of inhabitants in each
of the periods indicated, in city and
country, have been as follows:
AVERAGE DEATH RATES IN NEW
TORK CITY AND FOR THE REST
OF THE STATE.
New York Rest of
Period. City. State.
IK8-1902 19.S H.T
1903-1907 JSj: 11.1
lSt-l!12 15.6 15 7
1M3 (Dr. Biggs' figs.) 117 13.S
That is, the city's death rate was
decidedly higher at the beginning of
the period under consideration than
the country rate The city's rate has
been steadily falling, in a period in
which population and congestion
have been just as steadily increasing.
The country's death rate has been
increasing, though on the whole so
slightly that it may be regarded as
having remained stationary. Why
should the rate decidedly fall, as to
the great city, while it remains sta
tionary or increases in the rest of
the State?
It must he borne in mind that out
side the metropolis a very large part
of New York's population is urban;
and it is gathered in large cities, too.
If it be a fact that there has been a
decrease in these other cities, some
what corresponding to that in New
York city, then it is apparent .that
there must have been, to offset this,
a decided rise in the rate in the open
country and small towns.
It is not improbable that this is
the fact. The cities which are large
enough to have proper health or
ganizations, good water, proper sew
erage, highly organized facilities for
maintaining clean streets, removing
garbage, and the like, have made
vast strides toward driving out the
diseases of fiHh. Typhoid, for in
stance, has been driven to the coun
try. The campaigns in cities against
the fly and the rat have had very
definite results.
Going to the country because it is
-healthier is played out. We go to
the city, and the big city, too, in
search of better health conditions.
There are few larger problems be
fore the country than this of rural
sanitation.
TRUST BUSTING' SCORED
BY DR. VAN HISE.
Dr. Charles R. Van Hise, presi
dent of the University of Wisconsin
vnd one of the country's leading
authorities on economic subjects,
renewed in St. Paul the other night
his opposition to the policy of "trust
busting" as a remedy for modern
social and industrial evils. That
policy, he .said, resulted in an en
forced competition wholly opposed
to the conservation of natural re
sources and in other consequences
'profoundly immoral."
The trust disoslution program of
the Federal Government, Dr. Van
Hise asserted, is raising and not
lowering the prices of oil, beef, to
bacco, and other commodities af
fected. The Sherman law, useful
once as a club ocr the head of un
restrained and insolent monopoly,
has outlived, he said, its period of
public benefit and should be re
pealed or radically amended.
Indorsement was given by the
speaker to the bill cf Chairman Clay
. Cap, of the House Judiciary Commit
. , for the creation of an interstate
tytde commission, with authority
. Wtr great corporations largely iden
tical with that the Interstate Com
merce Commission wields over the
railroads.
Sentiments such as these, proceed
ing from the head of a great popular
educational institution, an institution
which is said to fulfill the ideal of
"service" better than any other in
the world, arc entitled to most care
ful consideration. Dr. Van Hise
is not a reactionary; he is regarded
generally as either an intellectual
Mtdkal or a radical intellectual. He
is a profound student, but a student
of the Wisconsin type, seeking al-
ways to apply the discoveries of the
laboratory or study to the actual
processes and thereal inhabitants
of the workaday world. He conclud
ed his St. Paul address thus:
I echo the lior expressed by Presi
dent Wilson that th.' tim- Ins come
when those Interested in large business
and the repr.-sent.ulvvs of the people
will consider th. trust problem with
mutual for'oearan-e. in an honest search
for a Just solution. I ronfidently look
forwarJ to t. tlm; when reason and
science, rath'-r than vested interest or
popular passion, shall control economic
legislation.
That is a prayer to which the in
telligence, of the country will respond
with a whole-souled and reverent
"Amen!"
THE PRESIDENT'S VIC
TORY. In passing through the House the
rule for hastening consideration of
the canal tolls repeal, the President
won a victory at the point where he
doubtless was weakest. It is hard to
believe there was sufficient reason
for insisting on so undemocratic a
rule as was proposed. Perhaps the
Administration supporters wanted a
preliminary test in order that they
might know something abont their
strength. Perhaps they were pre
pared, if that test should show the
need, to give Congress more specific
reasons than have thus far been
brought forward for the passage of
the repeal bill.
At any rate, it is likely that the
repeal measure will pass by a larger
majority than the thirty-one which!
signalized the adoption of the rule.
After all the furore that has been
stirred tip in recent years about gag
rule in the House, a good many mem
bers were in positions that made it
harder for them to support the rule
than it will be to support the bill
itself.
This is one of the cases in which
a real discussion would be of value ;
to the country. It mas need to know j
more about the merits of this ques
tion than can possibly get to it as
the result of such a consideration as
is now possible. That discussion will
come in the Senate; but a Senate
discussion becomes so expansive and
diluted, under the rules of that body,
that it does not always serve the
public's purpose so well as the de
bates of the House.
Take, for example, the excellently
organized and compact presentation
which Mr. Underwood yesterday
made in the House. Its tone ;and
temper were ideal. It was, of neces
sity, reduced to a space that made
it possible for an interested student
of the problem to listen or to read
with satisfaction. It may be added
that, if general circulation could be
given to the full text of Mr. Under
wood's remarks, it would hardly fail
to strengthen the hands of the men
who oppose the repeal measure.
Mr. Underwood probably will ap
pear shortly-as a Senator from Ala
bama. In that position he will be
free to talk just as long as he likes;
and he will add to even his present
repute as a political advocate if he
will decline to avail himself of the
privilege of talking endlessly. If the
House did more real debating, such
as has marked the consideration of
this acute question, and if the Sen
ate did less of the maundering dis
cussion that is encouraged by its
too lax rules, we would have a better
chance to learn from the Record
what the discussions are about.
That this tolls question has
brought the Democratic party to the
verge of a great disaster is not now
seriously questioned. Gentlemen may
proclaim from their places that the
differences are only such as must
arise in handling legislation; but in
their personal discussions they do
not hesitate to admit that they can
see the lines forming for the division
of their party into two forces. No
matter what the result, the line will
be drawn, as a glazier marks a slab
of glass with a diamond point. The
line he draws is very insignificant
until pressure is applied; then it de
termines where the break shall be.
The tolls issue will be debated in
many Congressional districts, and
the outcome next autumn will be an
alyzed with thought of the align-.
mem Ul IlIC" "" Vina ijui;3liuii. Ml
course, it has long been plain that
division must come within the party
ranks at one time or another. If not
tolls, then something else would
have been the occasion for the for
mal recognition of this sit-jation.
The Administration is due to win in
this particular skirmish, and it is
difficult to see ahead an issue on
which he could appear at greater
disadvantage. He is asking his party
to repudiate its platform, and he is
placing himself in position to be at-
tacked, as he was by Mr. Under
wood, with the charge that he has
displayed "an un-American spirit of
'surrender." Twisting the lion's tail
is yet a more or less effective form
of political appeal.
THE LIBERALS' NEW ISSUE
The British liberal party is emerg
ing from the army crisis with the
assurance that it will enter the next
contest for control of the country
with a new issue exactly fashioned
to its purposes. Shall the country be
ruled, in the last analysis, by its
electorate, or by an army controlled
by the aristocracy?
Britain would be only a few laps
ahead of Russia if the tories were to
be permitted to control the army,
and appeal to it when everything
else had failed them. For genera
tions, there was no need to draw the
military forces into such situations,
because the house of lords was the
sure bulwark of privilege. It could
negative home rule or electoral re
form when toryism required. But
with the budget crisis and the adop-1
tion of the measure under which the
veto of the lords may be overridden,
new appeal is made necessary in
the behalf of toryism; and that ap
peal, the country discovers, is to the
army itself! Greater audacity could
hardly be imagined- than this pro
posal to undo all the parliamentary
progress of the centuries and return
to a condition in which the man on
horseback should wield the authority
just wrested fron the chamber of
peers.
This is the new issue that has been
fashioned for the use of the liberals
in the oncoming campaign. It guar
antees, under the excellent political
generalship of Mr. Asquith, that the
labor party people will stand by the
liberals, and that there will re no
foolish divisions of force, permitting
the conservatives to elect members
to the next parliament by pluralities.
Already the tories realize their mis
take, and the realization is likely to
be responsible for a sudden softening
of their determination to kill home
rule at all hazards. The liberals
have won before the country, and, in
stead of wrecking the Asquith min
istry, the militarism coup has 'vastly
strengthened it.
UNEMPLOYED MEN A
BUSINESS DRAG.
A great railroad system cannot
stop or slice dividends without some
effect upon the public It cannot
cut thousands of men from its pay
rolls without a very heavy effect
upon the whole public. The buying
power which is destroyed in those
market centers where those dis
charged wage-earners have been liv
ing and supporting their families is,
as every thoughtful man knows, a
buying power also destroyed at the
same time in many, many other
places that never saw and never
heard of those discharged wage
earners. If so magnificently constructed and
superbly managed a property as the
great Pennsylvania railroad system
must, on its lines east of Pittsburgh
and Erie, reduce its number of em
ployes from 142,000 to 123",000, and
if it must still go on reducing until
it shall reach the still lower level of
117,000, there must be worse tales to
tell on other railroads.
If railroads aren't making enough
money to retain the services of their
men and to continue the high wage
payments they have been making; if
factories can't sell their products to
advantage, and so don't keep labor
to turn out those products; if mer
chants can't turn over normal sup
plies at normal profits, there's some
thing wrong.
It is useless to try to disguise the
truth that something is wrong.
Everybody knows something is
wrong, so nobody can be fooled about
it simply by refusing to discuss it.
But all are not yet agreed as to the
cause. One very big plement says
it's the tariff, which has taken the
punch out of American industries,
and this has been striking American
wage-earners off the payrolls of mills
and factories.
We don't think there's any doubt
about this to an extent; the only
question in our mind is whether, af
ter a general readjustment to the
new. conditions, the industry and
commerce of the country can come
back. That hasn't been proved yet.
As soon as it is proved if it is to
turn out so that the country can
not come back under this tariff the
economic measure which the party
in power has given us must as surely
be rejected by the American voters
of today as eighteen years ago they
rejected the last previous tariff we
had from the Democratic party.

THE FORCES OF EDUCATION.
By CHARLES F. THWING, LL. D.
(President of Western Reserve University, Cleveland.)
The two forces of education aro
truth and personality knowledge
and the teacher. The two work
together. Truth without the teacher
is a cup without water. The teacher
without truth Is a soldier without his
sword. The two united the truth
Inspiring the teacher, and the
teacher quickened by the truth
are effective and only thus effective.
As a result, the pupil knows, and is
trained. The two forces do give
education. In personality it Is ever
to be remembered Is Included love on
the part of the teacher toward the
pupil. Without this love, service is in
peril of being dead and deadening.
The Bible presents these Kmc two
forces. It is called the Book of Truth
and of truths. It sees and tells
things as they are. Its commands
are not mere intimations. They are
made to be obeyed. Neither are its
thrcatenlngs soft chldlngs. They are
in places sulphurous. Its curses are.
