yon, resistless, uncaring, until
tney are nnauy cast up on some
foitunate snoie wnere no clutch
ing wave, no uisturoing blast will
come to maw tnem back to that
wmen tney abhor. Nome is lull
ot tnem. Anu they are usually
very much in eviuence around the
election period. Not that they
voluntarily come forth and uis
close tneumseives Not they. They
\tive not enough energy to uo
ail} tiling that will ataact atten
tion. /-in that they want is to be
leit alone, liven at election time
one would not know tney were
around, would not guess from
their outward demeanor that they
were mtlerent from others, were it
not for the answer they invariably
give to ail proposals demanding
energy and labor: “VVhats the
use." 'lo them nothing is any
use, regardless of its motif or pur
pose. 10 them the present ,is in
sensate, the future hopeless.
Nothing amounts to anything out
side of the mere business of eat
ing and drinking When the
pulses of their fellows are stirring;
when the call of progress sounds,
they feel no answering thrill.
\Y hen those around them are gird
ing up their loins impelled by
those master impulses that have
brought the race from the depths
of darkness to the borderland of
light, they shrink j«tp the *had
ows, unheeding, uncaring
W hat’s the use.” To them al
things, good or bad, are one. I
matters not to them whether tli<
world goes forward or backward
They do not care whether thing
are right or wrong—at least no
to the extent of making an.’effor
to preserve them if right or’ alte
them if wrong. “What’s the use.
It doesn’t matter to them hov
things go as long as they are lef
alone. Steeped in hopelessness
sodden with apathy, they are con
tent to let the years go by ant
lift no hand to help either them
selves or others. "What’s th«
use.” We do not know’ whefhei
i hey should be blamed or pitied
Perhaps they have achieved soint
philosophical height whose tow
ering eminences we cannot scan
Non resistance may be the mos
sublime doctrines of all, did vv<
but appreciate its virtues ant
abide in it teachings. Who cat
ay ?
At any rate Nome is unfortun
ate in having such a large per
centage of them in her popuia
tiori. iiie “what’s the use’ crowt
have been the saddest burden thai
Nome has been compelled to stag
ger under since the early riches
of the field fields dwindled anc
changed conditions demanded z
greater energy and industry
i lopeless of the future themselves
mu skeptical of the faith of others
they have lifted no hand to ad
vance their own well being or tc
assist others to do it for them
Like the little old man of Sinbad’s
tale they liave proven a heavy
load for those whose faith was
whole and whose energy was
ready. “\V hat’s the use” has been
and is today the weight that is
Lagging us slowly down to la
mentable c^blivion.
MURDER RATE
INJHE U. S.
According to F. L Hoffman of
■New i ork, tne annual murder rate
m the United States has now
climbed to an aveiage of 8.6 per
sons out of every 100,000 of pop
ulation, that is to say aoout »,ooo
icsiuents of the country are mur
dered each year.
Mr Jtiottman bases his estimate
on the mtfider rates of thirty
cities having in 1914 a total pop
lation of 17416,649. New lork
:ity as a whole is omitted from the
table he supplies. The highest
murder rate tor any year was that
jf 1913, when 8.7 persons were
cilled out of every 100,000 popula
tion.
Memphis, Tenn., leads all the
other cities in violent deaths.
There the murders in 1914
amounted to 72.2 persons out of
?very 100,000 population. Char
leston, S. C, is second with only
33-3 persons out of every 100,000.
Most of the southa.n cities
stand well at the top of the list.
After the two cities named come
Savannah with ten-year average
of 28.4, next is Atlanta with 26,
New Orleans 253, Nashville,
24.3; 16.6, and St. Louis 12.9.
Then San Francisco with 11.8,
Cincinnati, 11; Seattle, 8.1; Spo
kane 7.8, and Washington 7.5.
Manhattan and the Bronx to
gether are sixteenth in the list of
30 cities. The rate here is 6.1.
Chicago had in ten years 1,955
murderers, the average murder
rate there being 9.3 persons
fin ^Philadelphia the rate was
4.2 and in Boston 4.8. The low
est rate in the cities Is that of
Milwaukee, which average 2.4
for the ten year period, although
its rate was 5.2 in 1914.
The largest percentage of those
killed were shot, 60.6 per cenl
of the total having died from
firearms and 15.1 per cent having
been killed by cutting or pierc
ing instruments.—Ex.
MAXIMILIAN HARDEN
HUSHED UP BY KAISEF
Maximilian Harden, the brillanl
German journalist, has been pro
hibited by the German govern
ment, from public speaking 61
writing, for the remainder of the
war, furthermefre, his weekly
magazine, Zukunft, has been sup
pressed. This is considered one ol
the drastic acts of censorship ol
the war Harden has been in
difficulty with the censor several
times, for criticizing food regula
tions and other acts of frte gov
ernment.
He is one of the best known
men in the kaiser’s empire, anc
was a close friend of Bismarck
He first acquixed fame, year 3«go
. by fearlessly publishing a series
1 of articles charging unspeakable
t conditions of immorality among
: the members of the German
. court. Harden was sued at that
> time, for libel, but was acquitted
t As a result of the articles, kaiser
l made a wholesale dismissal of
r counts and princes of the notor
' ious “round table.”—Theocrat.
AERIAL MAIL
ROUTES
The work of mapping and plan
ning two aeroplane mail routes,
of sixty miles each, has just'been
computed for the postoffice de
partment by Albert Bond Lam
l bert, of St. Louis, governor of the
i Aero Club of America. Says the
Aerial Age Weekly, New York,
November 29:
“One of these routes lies wholly
■ in Missouri and a part of Illinois.
| The interstate route will start at
Peruque, Mo-, cross the Missis
. sippi river to Golden Eagle and
Brussells, 111., detour westward
to Beechville on the Ilinois shore,
and thence back to Peruque. The
Missouri route will cross a coun
Ty without railways * * * The
establishment of aerial routes is
designed for the double purpose
of giving efficient mail service in
districts where natural barriers
isolate communities that by air
lines ate located in closep roximi
ty to one another, and cf keeping
in the service of the government
a body of experienced and equip
ped aviators readv for service
without any sort of plan delay. In
this way 200 or 300 aviators can
i.e held in reserve, the plan being
to have these aerial mail carriers
enlisted in the Aviation Reserve
Corps.”
