TUESDAY, APRIL n, 1916.
Now that the people of Nome
have acquit eu a uio-iuer unuer
.a.unrig ui the labors and inten
ot the chamber of com
merce it iv to L>e uopecl tnat tnat
body will be ganted a trifle more
sympathetic co-operation than has
been the rule since they commenc
.1 their labors some months ago.
i he argument of so many that
they being business men largely,,
i e engaged in an attempt to im
prove comliton- tor paneiy per
5kIIj:»! reasons, •> undoubtedly true.
hey are trying to improve their
own condition and are doubtless
animated largely by personal mo
lives.
When one comes right down to
bedrock facts, it is personal de
sires that animate practically
every effort at improvement or ad
vancement so this argument
should not be employed to dis
credit the efforts that are being
made bv the local commercial
body. Instead of caviling at their
animating reasons we should by
all means be very glad that there
are a few men in the community
with sufficient initiative to get out
and try to do something for them*
selves. That is a great deal more
than can be truthfully said for the
majority. The proof of it is that,
until the present, there has never
been but one concrete effort made
by any one, business men or
others, to improve the conditions
of the camp and district. Stop and
think that over. But once in fif
teen or sixteen years have we been
able to arouse energy enough to
put forth an organized effort to
Iielp ourselves! And still, in the
face of this fact, many of us are
ready to condemn the efforts of
those who have come to a reali
zation that they are confronted
with conditions that can be vastly
improved and are willing to try
; nd improve them. Aud, we, many
of us, are willing to open the
vials of our scorn and denoncia
uon because they have thetermity
to ask our co-operation in' furth
ering matters that will redound to
their own advantage, regardless
of the fact that their condition
cannot improve in the least degree
without a proportionate improve
ment in the condition of those
who are their patrons and sup
porters. If the condition of the
workers is not improved, if the
efforts of the chamber do not re
sult in placing more money in the
pockets of those on whom the
business man depends, how can
the business man achieve a great
er prosperity than he now enjoys?
If his customers are not making
more, it is certain that they can
not spend more than they are do
ng at present. In their efforts
■ oward their own betterment they
’re forced to include the prosper
ity of practically every one else
in the district. If they cannot do
.his then all their efforts will be
for naught They must first in
jure a greater prosperity to others
before they can hope to receive
any particular increase of prosper
ity themselves.
CHILDREN AND HEALTH.
Seattle P.-I.
Health authorities and sociolo
gists of New York are puzzled
over recent statistics dealing witn
the death rate among children un
der the age of one year in that
city. Directly contrary to all of
the eugenic theories and those
held by hygienists, the death rate
among children of native white
parents is higher than among off
spring of aliens. And the pirth
: ate among native families is very
much lower thau among alien
families.
The death rate among the chil
dren of the Italian population of
New York under one year of age
is but 104 per thousand, and
among Slavic families the death
rate but but 99, the best percen
tage of any classification. The
death rate among children of na
tive white parents is 116 per thou
sand.
There is the further fact, not
enlarged upon in the report, which
is that the slum problem of all
:>f our large cities is almost entire
ly a problem of alien origin. Am
erican familesareexceedingly rare
n the slum districts of any city.

districts, where it requires almost
lirect force to introduce the ele
ments of decent sanitation, are fill

You know that when a boot comes in and

SOMETHING UNUSUAL
White Goodrich '‘ iff PRESS” Boots actually wear
longer thsn iron or steel! You don’t hare to half*

“HIl’RESS” arc constructed by an entirely new process—-fifty years
ahead of the old.

Nothing to coiae apart—they cno’t leak, peel, crack or split! They’re comfort

The conclusion seems to be that
the children born of foreign par- j
cnts arc hardier than the Ameri-1
can stock and more inclined to re- j
sist disease. This is a theory di
rectly contrary to those which
have been given us by settlement
workers and uplift societies, who
have preached appalling sermons
about the sad condition of the
babies of the tenements. Is it
possible that generations of bad
sanitary surroundings have creat
ed a type almost immune to dis
eases which are so dangerous to
people who for generations have
been accustomed to Better condi
tions? Are there opedimics of
typhoid, for example, among the
people of China?
