However, if the 'showing by one great nation attracts world attention 'more than another it is liin't of France. Because so much of the heavy fighting: in the Great War was on French soil, and her losses were toportioniilely larger thiln any other nation, the vital sta tistics of France have received increased attention since the armistice. 'Jt is gratifying; to the well wishers of the gallant re public to learn from a report of the- French minister of lubor that in 1923 France made progress in, the right direc tion. The outstanding feature is the death rate, which was at 17 per thousand , last year, the lowest ever recorded in that country. The total decrease was. 27,000 compared with -the previous year. .In the matter of living births there was an increase of 2,000 although marriages de creased by 27,000 as compared with,1922. In 1913 the population of France was 41,186,272, against 3!),209,r18 at tho close of 1923. The largest number of marriages in -any year since the war was 623,8(59 in 1920, .i;nd the smallest 356,501 in 1923. Possibly tho explana tion for this wide difference mav be found in the fictitious prosiiyi4) jfhcj) Ji'jiiinCft.onjAyod in tho. farmer .year .when t.hc was in" the midst of her rehabilitation activities, based upon high expectations of receiving reparations from Ger many,' while the falling- off last year may Have been based upon ' a conviction that payment for war losses will be siow, if ever, and tho country has had to face increased taxation which tended to raise the cost of living. Another interesting point in connection with statistics just' made public is he revelation of the increase in immi gration counting only manual laborers) that has occurred in France Bince the war. In 1921 1,500,000 entered the country-and last year the total exceeded 2,000,000. ' This movement surpasses any ever experienced by the United States. The largest number in our history was 1,285,349 in 1907, the year which marked the climax in a periodical business boom. The second largest annual immigration to Tthe United States was 1.20S.480 in 1914, .from which total, there was a drop to 110,818 in 1918. It is not im probable, now that the .rehabilitation boom has completely subsided and financial difficulties have arisen over cur tency inflation, that an exodus of common laborers from France will occur this year, and possibly that country will be "con fronted with a problem similar to that which has occurred in the United States', resulting in a , revision in immigration laws, which went into effect this month. , Let's Get to Business Now :. National conventions have boon hold. Those who had contemplated a possibility of u change in administration at Washington now think differently and the fijht be tween the two old political parties starts so Unevenly that Coolidies election is assui ed ami business can proceed without tho long wait until altor March 4th. We believe all sides are rather pleased at this phase cflhc matter. Had the Democratic party avoided the re ligious issno and nominated McAdoo the campaiK" mijfht hai'e become an active one. .'The powder was spent at the convention and cannot be sht aain. Senator Davis, the nominee, is a fine man, air able man, but no man in all the nation could accept th nomination after such n row with any hope of success. As for the vice presidential nomination, no comment is f necessary. Covernor llryan is not national size and apparently was placed on the ticket only to appear.e his brother, William J. Jlryan, whose political influence has loiio; since subsided. i Rut why review the late unpleasantness? Is it not silficient to repeat atfiiin and realize that Calvin Coolido v0l be the next president regardless of what any indi vidual may think of him or his party. And this being trijo, let's settle down to active business and try and pull thy nation out of the depressed business condition which j-iJjHMirs in several spots. j"A circular movement is noticed in tho flounces of new frtjeks." Probably accounts for the fact that some of the lalfor gowns seem to make us dizzy. rnr:v do otthixk. Omttha World Ht rai.l: .
