PHONE 96 aIbANYOREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 9 POPULATION The federal census naturally arouses new thoughts of civic and national greatness. Every city, town and village is interested in knowing whether it is passing its rivals, and eagerly awaits the earliest reports. All city-dwellers want to know the relative rank of big citiees. Every state wants to known the relative rank of big cities, every state wants to can wonders what the grand total will show for the country as a whole, when the big job is finished some months hence. The pride that Americans have always taken in their country s numerical growth is joined, in these latter years, with a feeling of wonder, and almost of iricreduality. A hun dred years ago the United States had fewer people than the state of New York has now. Fifty years ago the national population was less than the present population of five states New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois which, great as they are, were not dominating enough to swing the last national election. And how small now seems the 1910 total of 92,757,000 people! Today, perhaps, we have 20,000,000 more than that. Which is to say that in one decade we have added nearly as many people as there were in the country in 1850. . - -- The population has long been increasing, on an average, more than 20 per cent every ten years. Compound 1 10,000 000 at 20 per cent for a few decades and see how it mounts up! In 50 years it will give us about 275,000,000. How much in 100 years? So far we may be able to reckon with a fair degree of probability. But take 1,000 years. Several nations have lived longer than that. Who, by any triumph of arithme tic or imagination, can foresee the possibilities of this country and this continent in the year 2920?

When their 10 year-old THE LOST YEAR "Last year," writes Henri Brieux, in the Petit Journal of Paris, "was a year thrown away. As after the great tor ment ot lyj, we stopped working; we embraced certain po litical theories from which we drew idleness under the name of strikes. . - . "Without understanding what we were doing, we fol lowed the non-prcduction of a four-year war with volun tary laziness. To the destruction of war we added other de structions. The bank note has become simply a permit to destroy; for all our luxury, all our useless money-spending is destruction destruction of work which superfluous lux ury entails, destruction of value represented by the bank note which we could use to pay our debts. "Humanity has just passed through a crisis of folly which ended when the war-stopped. Then, after this mad ness had piled up our ruins, after barbarism had killed mil lions and millions of men, at a time when work and economy were indispensable, we decided to reduce our labor and started in on a reign of frolic and prodigality." He is writing of France. Are his words not almost lit erally true, also, of America? Let America ioin earnestlv in the hope he expresses, and in the resolution needed to make that hope come true : "The year19I9 was the last year of this business.- The year now beginning is the first year of a new regime.

Thy Medford Mail-Tribune says: "If abso lute honesty, purity of character, una true sympathy with the aspiration of the common people were in them selves sufficient, William Jennings Bryan would have an excellent chance of the democratic nomination. If he wins the nomination, and it takes a pretty stupid political obsenfer to regard the possibility at a Joke, it will be, not so much because of hi. eminence, as the flatness of the sur rounding country." ton returned from school he went to watch the blasting and found his fath er's body.
