HOW TO LOWER MURDER RATE Tho .Spectator, un Insurance Jour nu], ha? inado un impressive study o Arnorlcan murder records 4n tho Insi ton years. The result isn't flattering to u country that prldea itself op itt superior civilization and humauity. Tho review covers thirty cities In all sections of . the country. Th< Soutli makes the most unfavorable Bhowlng, duo doubtless to its largo and comparatively irresponsible col ored population. Memphis, Tenn., Wins the unflattering title of the "most murderous city in the world." For the decade of 1004-1913, out ol every 100,000 residents of Memphis, 03.4 were murderod every year, on an averuRe. Charleston, S. C., comes next in tho list, with 32.7 homicides a year-per 100,000. Savannah, Atlanta, New Orleans and Nashville follow close after. Then comes a sudden drop, lu LoulBvillo, to 16.6, and tin* tato sinks to 11.8 for Son Francisco, 9.3 for ChlcaKo. 6.1 for Cleveland and Now York, 5.3 for Pittsburg, 4 for Buffalo, and a proud minimum of only 2.4 for Milwaukee. , Tho average yearly murder rato for tho southern citlea waa 18.4; for tho Pdciilc Coast citlea, 12.8; for ihn cantral cities, 8.6 and for the eastern citlea 4.9. . This lu this respect, at lcaat, the East may lay unqueation able claim to higher civilization, in spito of the supposedly deteriorating effect of recent immigration." . The most distressing thing about the aituation -ia that the murdor rate in every aectlon seems to bo Increas ing. Tho-figures for tho year "1914 are found to ho uniformly higher than tho average figures for tho previous de cade. The increase.'.is.-moat marked Iii ; tho southern- s ?ad -far - western, states. ' Tho homicidal-eminence of tho na tion as a whole ls seen In thc fact that, for tho same population, 100 persons .are murdered in tho United States to 56 in Italy, 31 In Prussia, and only 13 in England. What can bc dono to blot out tilla shameful record? Tho Speotator. rookes a pertinent and practical sug gestion. Nearly two-thirds of tho murders examined were committed by firearms.. Tho chief reaaon for tho incroawo of homicidal crimes ls gtv?n aa tho inadequacy of laws regulating tim carrying of deadly weapons. "Thc means of murdor are entirely, too c'bn?. veillent, and the piatol-cafrrylng habit in many; sections of tho country -ls an i evtl ot thc uret Importance." Tho Way to bring tho American inbrder rato down to 6 le3S disgrace ful levol, thon, ls: to dlaarm our priv ate citizens;, and make' lt inipoaaible for them to buy weopona. WAR BUSINESS GOES TO CANADA - Tho American munitions industry is said to be shifting to Canada; : In formation from Washington suggests that our own output of anns and am munition ls now at pr near Its, moxt \ munt. ; By F brnary 1 it io Expected that Canada will, be in poallion r tP ? t upply all tho munitions needed by Groat Britain aside from what Bim | makes at heme.' * ; This does not mean, of course, that firms in the United States aro going to got no more; orders. It simply moana that David Lloyd-George,tho Krltlflh minister of munitlona, ls tok ing no chances. Ho baa regarded the United^. 3taies aa a very uncertain sourca; for war tu?tertah,. A sudden chango of political sentiment, might bvlng an embargo on munitlona,; leav ing, tho alli?e in tho lurch if they do ponded on us.

BA?LCBS When a submarine Bunk thc Brit ish ship Falaba, there was a panic on board, which contributed to the loss of life..: When a submarine sunk the Italian liner Ancona, there, was a still greater paule, with more- disastrous results. When a submarino sunk the Japaneso liner Yasaka Maru, panic never had a chance. There wasn't any hysteria. Excited now becoming burdensome, loaded into lifeboats. Thc boats were lowered properly, with no accidents. They all floated and thoy all had their requisito oars and oarsmen. The timo it took was precisely the timo tho Austrian submarine had allowed tho Ancona before sending her to ! the bottom. And on the Yasaka Maru not one soul was lost. . The panic on the Ancona was duo largely to the barbarous shelling ?ot the ship. ''Nevertheless, If there had been a Japanese crew on the Ancona, thero probably wouldn't have been any'panic; ?:?'-,. The British have been world sall? oro for roany centuries. The Italians have been faring to distant seas for 2,000 years. - Both nations have ancient and proud sea traditions, lt is but one generation slnco the Jap-! aneso discarded their little coast JunkB and started sailing the ocean with, steel ships. And in all their tests of seamanship in recent yeans;, whether in peace or war, they have j show? themselves to bo sailors at least as efficient as any In thc world.? j That's one-of tho reasons why otL?r powers, Including the United ( States, fear their commercial compe- J tltlon-they're sb exasperatingly cool, thorough and efficient. Tile more Prof. " Hugo MuenBtcr burg's analyalh - of Col. Roosevelt ls studied, the I ?ss Intelligible it be comes to tho non-scientific mind. Tho Harvard professor recently wrpto a magazine artlole setting forth that "the colonel, In spite of-his de nunciations of G orin on y and his Beat, i in J.; criticisms of German-Amert cans, is the natural and logical can-] dldato of those eame Gorman-?merl cans for president. Dr, MUenaterburg sums up his.argument as f?llbvrs. "The psychological equation of his personality makes him a pro-Gorman In all that is best in him, and-only bis .temper and his perpetual desire to bo with tho masses ronko him u. a pro-ally,*' Perhaps Uris ls clear- tb a psycholo gist., To; tho ordinary citizen lt 1B ohbut. ai, clear as mud. - From a care ful -'pondering pf its logical royaloriea, one seems to gather dimly that Coi. RebsbveU ls pro-Gorman In his In-j elluatjons and pro-Ally in Ms ten dencies. Or, to he a little mpre specific, the Coi^n?l is really a Prussian, and it's too bad that , he should sympathize with jfche' masaos the woy he does.

AH announced :av The Intelligencer on Salurduy.morning, thc young men of the city w'M pa Tuesday evening give a dunce i t. .'he Hotel Chlquola, It having boen'decided to have it there instead of the hall over the Anderson theatre. Tho young men have decid ed to make lt a fancy dress ball, and en masque, this will doubtless cauBC much amusement. No committees have as yet been announced. Music will be furnished hy thc Anderson orchestra under the direction of Mr. Sloan Driscoll. Tho condition of Alf M. Balley, who was rather seriously cut on Christ mas Eve night by L. E. Gaimard, was reported yesterday, as helng not much improved. It seem? impossible to get at the di rect cause of the tvpuble. lt ls said that Balley met Gaimard on the court house square Friday night and at tacked bim with &' stick. Gailliard pulled bin knife and used it freely about Bailey's throat and head. Gall Hard wan arrested and Balley was taken to St. Mary's hospital. Manager Tr?wbrldgo stated last night that he bad received a telegram to the effect that the show which was to have appeared at. the Anderson this week, would not be here. Th? company will come to Anderson at another dato. This morning all of the storeB and business houses in the city will re open after ?eking a holiday of two days.
