New York, October 23. (Special)
Recent statistics show that the mor
tality rate in New York state is 14.6
oC each thousand population, while
that of the entire United States is
13.5 per thousand. The healthiest spot
ia America appears to be the state of
Washington, where only 8.1 per thous
and of the population die during a
year. That people live longer than
formerly is shown by the fact that the
average rate in the United States be
tween 1905 and 1915 was 16.2 per
thousand population. In great cities
like New York the precautions taken
to safeguard the public health have
been worked out in such a way as to

may be true that people go at a faster
gait than formerly, and see more of
the white lights and early houraof
the morning, still they iive longer, at
least the statisticians say so.
During New York's protracted
period of strikes much has been said
about the men who lose their lives in
the regular performance of their
duties. Statistics have been brought
forth by the labar organizations, show
ing that 30,000 men annually are
killed and 700,000 injured. Theclaim
is futher made that there are 3,000,000
cases of industrial illness, caused
merely by long hours, low wages,
bad air, fumes, smoke, poisonous and
poor ventilation. Those same condi
tions have been carefully looked into

ner. New York, October 23. (Special)
fifty-five cWgymen, representing
thirty different denominations, have
) fathered a movement to attract one
million non-churchgoers, to harken to
tho invitation to "Go to church Sun
days". Their idea is very much along
the same lines as have been advocated
by groups of ministers who have de
clared in favor of using advertising
space in the newspapers, at the reg
ular rates, in order to inform the
public regarding what is going on in
the churches. A lot of business men
interested in church work have for a
long time been urging the churches
convention held in Brooklyn, seriously
discussed this proposition. A number
of advertising experts from agencies
and large concerns, contributed their
views to the session. Several of them
took the position that the church, like
theatres, entertainments and lectures,
should he advertised, and it was agreed
that there is nothing lacking in the
dignity of such a procedure.
New York, October 23. (Special)
An artiBt of renown has been at
tracting a good deal of attention in
New York by his actions. Recently
he decided on a tour of Greenwich
Village, where he was determined to
find the old hostlery in which Poe used
to eat mutton pies and write poetry.
The artists'' and authors' colonies
were thick in this part of New York
in earlier days, and to a limited de
gree they still exist. However, tho
pioneers who lived in comfortable
quarters or the fine old homes of
Greenwich Village, are apt to have
the same experience as that of the
peculiar artist,, who failed to find any
trace of Poe or his pies. Apart of the
old village is now a kind of Bohemia,
and there are hotels and bar rooms
where writers, painters and other in
habitants of the community exchange
ideas over their meals, or innocent
games and amusements. Some of the
ancient iand marks have disapeared,
andtenements or business . establish
ments occupy their former sites. The
oldtimers who go there in search of the
homes of their childhood are apt to
find places like those of Carmine
Street, where "The Raven" and the
narrative of "Arthur Gordon Pim"
were written have entirely obliterated
or changed. Greenwich Village is the
remaining link between the old and
the new city, and those who love it for
its antique ways and customs have
for many years been vainly trying tj
hold back the onward advance of tho
conquering metropolis.
New York, October 23. (Special)
A special Commission on Revision
of the Prayer Book, which has been
working in the interest of the protest
ant Episcopal Church, wants lo
put the "soft pedal" on the little word
"damn", and their recommendation to
the General Conference is that the
word "Condemnation" be substituted
for the offensive and expressive little
four-lettered word.. It is interesting
to note that the respected Mr. Noah
Webster says that the word "damn"
means: "To sentence to punishment
judicially; consign to a certain fate;
condemn as bad as a failure; to invoke
a malediction upon; curse inwardly;
noun a curse". The same dictionary
defines "condemn" as follows:- "To
pronounce or judge guilty; blame,
cer.sure, declared to be forfeited.,'
There is also an effort being made on
the part of some to change the word
"hell" where occurs in the prayers and
Scriptural selections, and the de
claration of faith to read instead "the
place of departed spirits".
Prison Reform in Kansas.
(Christian Science Monitor.)
Kansas has not a high rate of
prison population, compared with
many states of the union, and her
penal system never has been vindic
tive. The easier, therefore, has it
been for her to decide to turn the
state penitentiary into a school, both
the rigor of servitude and the labors
of enforced industry being reduced to
a minimum. It is not on record that
Kansans have been reading Gals
worthy's "Justice," or that Sing Sing's
innovator, Thomas Mott Osborn, has
visited the state. Kansas is progres
sive, and is in a progressive region of
the country, and all about her are
states that have tried, with satisfac
tion, humane dealing with prisoners.
ENGLAND'S DRINK CONDEMNED
Dr. Wirt Brings Interesting Story to '
Observer Contributor.
La Grande, Ore. Oct. 23. (To tho
Editor) "Wh'ile on my way to Europe
I was talking to a young American
doctor who was returning to the Red
Cross service after a short furlough,
when the wireless operator startled
every soul on our vessel with the an
nouncement that tho Lusitania had
been torpedoed and 500 lives lost,"
Dr. Lincoln Wirt remarked when in
La Grande last Sunday. "After re
ceiving the startling information th.?
first words of my doctor friend were
Now maybe England will wake up,
.'top drinking and go to fighting.'
1 his man who knew the European
situation at first hand, thus explained
I'.ngland s slowness in really getting
into the fighting was due to her love
of alcohol."
In subBtance Dr. Wirt continued:
"Recognizing the fact that England
was the most drunken nation in thoj
world, the King of Enirland called
Lloyd George and proposed as tho
most effective and necessary military
measure possible, tho prohibition of
tho use of liquor. The King proposed
to begin with his own household and
prohibit drinking throughout the
kingdom. Lloyd George greatly
favored this proposal and immediately
presented it to the British parliment.
"In the midst of tho world's great
est struggle, with millions of Eng
land's men and billions of her money
being sacrificed to maintain her po
sition as leader of the European
nations, tho king and his minister
recognized the damning effect of al
cohol upon the efficiency of their
people.
"But parliament dared not so order.
Although England was menaced with
destruction, although the life of tho
people and the property of the nation
al industries had been conscripted to
the service of the country, although
no one disputed that alcohol was
undermining the nation's efficiency,
the brewer was held immune from
even the sacrifice of his temporary
profits, not even to save the Empire
of the Brittons.
"Such is the power of the brewer's
in England. II would call them trai
tors. However are the American
brewers any more considerate of our
national needs."
Brewers Active in Oregon.
The Brewer's bill now before tho
people of Oregon is a deceptive mea
sure framed by the National -Brewer's
association in order to defeat the
expressed will of the people who
voted by 30,000 majority for prohi
bition in this state. Read the follow
ing opinions by men who know what
they are talking about and vote 315
X No.
Ex-Governor West, Portland, says;
"The beer amendment seems to
carry all the jokers you have pointed
out. It is a skilful attempt to fool
the people and must by all means be
defeated." '
Arthur Clark, Corvallis, District
Attorney of Benton County, says of
conditions in case the brewery amend
ment were adopted:
"There would be no distinction in
favor of any portion of tho state
formerly dry under the local option
law, and liquor could ' be sold by
agents of breweries so long as it was
sold in the original package. It ap
pears to me that there is no ban upon
the sale of malt liquor containing four
per cent or less of alcohol anywhere
in the state except as to quantity.
It would necessarily make the pro
curing of such liquor very much
er.sier than at present. It follows as
a natural consequence that it would
stimulate the sales."
Judge. Stephen A, Lowell, Pendle
ton, who was a member of the Com
mittee of 100, Oregon Dry, 1914, says:
"As I read the language of the
amendment, it would permit original
packr.ge agencies to b-: established in
a thousand places, thus restoring the
old saloon days to all intents and pur
poses." GEORGE HUNTINGTON CURREY,
Chairman Union County Temperance
Alliance.
When You Take Cold.
With the average man a cold is a
serious matter and should not be
trifled with, as some of the most dan
gerous diseases start with a common
cold. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and get rid of your cold as
quickly as possible. You are not ex
perimenting when you use this rem
edy, as it has been in use for many
years and has an established reputa
tion. It contains no opium or other
narcotic. Obtainable everywhere.
Stop the First. Cold.
A cold does not get well of itself.
The process of wearing out a cold
wears you out, and your cough be
comes serious if neglected. Hacking
coughs drain tho energy and sap the
vitality. For 47 years tne happy com
bination of soothing antiseptic bal
soms in Dr. King's New Discovery has
healed coughs and relieved congestion.
