IFTYountles in Illinois showed
a loss of population during the
decade ending In, ,1910. , The
actual loss,, according to the
census, was 55.944. ; .
, The losses ranged from 66 per
sons, or three tenths of one per cent,
ta'Dewitt county, to 2973, or 17.4
per cent' In Pike. During the pre
ceding decade from 1890 tp 1900

Fifty-two, counties show an in-
crease of 72,985. The increase
ranged from one tenth of one per
cent in Fayette to 62.2 In William-
son.'v The actual Increase 'ranged
from ten added persons in Fayette
to 666,498 in Cook. .The population
of the state is 6,638,591, and is a
gain of 817,041, or 16.9 per cent In
ten years.; :; , r Jy
An Almost staggering fact In the
figures Is that nly 26.4 per cent of
tt population lives In ' the country
or in towns not incorporated. Only
134,690 people In the state live in
the eountry and in towns of .less than
500 population. , . ,
In census- classification,' all people
living in cities of 2500 and over are
sped fled- as urban, andsJI-Othere as
rural. By this test, the urban pop
ulation of Illinois in 1890 was 44.8
per cent;' in 1900, 64.$. and In 1910,
61.7. 1 The rural population .In 1890

Of the present .28.3 $er cent, 12

Tbe fact: that stands out Is the
tremendous i drift of ; population In
tha Btate from the country to the
city. .The actual loss of 56,944 in
habitants in 60 of the counties has
its' antithesis of a gain of 486,708
in the city, of Chicago alone. In this
state of splendid agricultural . pos
sibilities; 61.7 per cent of the popu

SWHY BE FOOLISH
hkhjs is no use to hold a spe
cial charter election with a
menagerie of charters to be
' voted on. The plan was tried
in Eugene, and it failed. More than
a majority of the votes was cast' for
commission ' government, but com
mission government, was beaten.
Those , In favor ,'of It divided their
forces between two charters.
In the meantime', government - in
Portlahdf- like government In every
city under the old system. Is absurd.
Ex-Mayor Lane says the city is los
ing, a million dollars a year. -The

, Harmon on State's Bights.
Portland, 'Nov, 14.- To the Editor of
The Journal In his argument for states
right before the oongreaa of sovern
ors, - Governor Harmon was upholdlns
the 1omical tradition of hU state. The
fact may, not be renerally known, yet
It Is a matter of record that Ohio (be
fore South Carolina), nullified a statute
of the ; general ; soverpment, - which It
claimed had, been enacted without eon
tltutlonal authority. The right of the
general government . to grant a charter
to, the United States bank and the right
of the bank to establish a branch In
Maryland haul been- affirmed by the su
prem court in the cas of McCollough
versus the state of Maryland. Tet In
tho .face of ;thla decision the general
assembly of Ohio In April, 1817, ap
pointed a committee to Investigate and
report upon the question. Whether the
right to obarter a national bank was
one of the pdwers expressly delegated
by the constitution. . Upon the report of
this committee the Ohio ' legislature In
Ills Imposed prohibitive tax on the
two branches bf the United States hank
which had. ' been- opened In Cincinnati
and Chllllcothe. ,' The. auditor of the
stats was expressly authorised to forci
bly enter the banks, break open their'
vaults and to take- therefrom enough
money to pay the SO per oant. which had
been assessad against them.. The dras
tic, meaaure was known as ths crow bar
law. One hundred thousand dollars In
gold was taken from the vaults of the
Chllllcothe bank and appropriated to the
payment of the tax. Not content with
tms, the general amenably passed a law
making It a misdemeanor for any citizen
of ths State to give assistance to these
banks In defending the property of these
Institutions. This hostile legislation con
tinued in force until President Jackson
vetoed the bill, renewing the charter of
tne united States Dank. This action was
taken 11 years before the South Caro
lina nullification In 1831. .
It Is exceedingly improbable that any
state will ever again assert the princi
ple of nullification. The supreme court
la theveogTilsed"arbiter In questions
involving state rights and federal ad
ministration. Tet a -decision of a court
can not, change a fact. It Is a fact
that our nationality - Is one of states
united. A political unit formed not
only by an agreement but by a natural
cohesion of part. A resolution of the
congress of governors advocated by
Governor Harmon was to remind the
legislative ; and executive branches of
our government that all political power
not expressly delegated to them Is re
served to the states and to the people.
When tha fiindamnt' prlnoiplyr-rinT
ular sovereignty was threatened, mil
lions fought to uphold .the centralised
power essential to Its preservation, but
when a branch of the government
threatens to ' uaurp authority not ex
pressly delegated to it,1 then -the time1
seems to have come for a referendum

INTERVENTION IN l CHINA
"HE refusal of Yuan Shi Kal to
accept the premiership of
,i China, pressed on him by a" del
t egatlon from the national as
sembly, was withdrawn when It had
carried Its purpose by securing for
him a free hahd in dealing with the
Manchu government . He has not.
in any serious way, antagonized the
revolutionary chiefs, or their armies.
There is nothing In sight to prevent
his Joining hands with them In the
enormous task of reorganizing the
Chinese empire.
His plan, announced yesterday, of
auowing autonomy now for any
province desiring it, with a declared
purpose of hereafter attracting such
provinces into the general told, is
opportunism Indeed. .
Dispatches-indicate that there Is
fear In China of intervention by the
United States, on behalf of all the
powers. ; r
It Is doubtful If any power would
dream of Invading China, or even of
occupying the treaty ports. - without
an army which would make the di
vision which went Into camp on the
Mexican border, a mere brigade.
The revolutionists have so far
shown: not only, the intention "but
the ability to protect the lives and
the property , of, foreigners; 1 .The
heads of the revolution are recruited
mainly from those young Chinese
who have been educated in America
or Europe. : y-. -,' y::
It is true that the Chinese' make

relations between Chinese and Man

V SEVEN "NEW WOMEN,
Abigail Adams.
An excellent idea of the strong mind
ana stern characteristic of - Abigail
Adams, wife of one president of the
United States - and the mother , of an
other. Is splendidly hown In her letter
to her husband who was attending the
continental congress at Philadelphia:
"Let the declaration- be set forth. Let
us Inform the world that we are re
solved to be our own masters." v
At another time she wrote s 'TMd ever
any state regain Its liberty without
bloodshed T Fighting is. horrible, but
rather than submit tOHawStery, let us
fight" ' -r
The last sentence of the two Just
quoted is the motto of the "new wo
man" of today; : Abigail lived. Just at
the end of the rigid Puritanical days
In New England,, and that makes It all
the more wonderful that she should
have been so outspoken for one of her
sex. , . t

letters sha held her husband firmly to

thing -was necessary, to fight every inch
of the Way for the country's rights.
