In another column Professor Loomis, whose
estimates Of the result of the coming census
and whose intelligent discussions of the proba-
bilities Of the republics future population
have been printed in The STAR, adds another
interesting letter to the correspondence on
this subject He enters a vigorous protest
against long-range predictions of the next GEN.
tury's population, based upon an assumed
general ratio, which fails to consider infinitely
the variable elements, such as immigration
and birth-rate. He considers it impossible to
estimate with any accuracy the result of a CEN
sus fifty years from now, but is convinced that
the fabulous figures based on a general ratio Of
increase cannot fail to be misleading Sound
reasons are stated for believing that the growth
ty immigration will decrease, and perhaps
cease before a century has passed. Professor
LOOMS is also of the opinion that during the
coming century the birth ratio will decrease.
He calls attention to the notable diminu-
ton Of vitality in the United
States during the last hundred years,
as indicated by the ratio of excess Of births
over deaths, and thinks that this law of dimi-
mutton will continue to prevail In his opinion
the greatest loss of energy, as a factor in the
increase Of population, will occur among
women. ''The enlarged requirements of social
life and the great effort of woman to do men
work in all professions Of life will most GER
tainly depress the birth ratio, because her stock
OF energy will be all used up in the struggle
for competition. This is already seen in all
the oldest states Of the Union, and is well
known by the medical profession" He con-
cludes that the nation cannot possibly increase
in population during the coming century as it
has in the past.
There has doubtless been some hasty Jump
lug at conclusions in the estimates of the
numerical greatness of the republics future
Prof. Loomiss views serve as a balance to the
teachings OF Nautilus. The LOOMS theory will
quiet apprehension that the people of the re-
public are to increase in the immediate future
like rabbits, outstripping the food supply and
threatening famine. The facts advanced by
the advocates of the Malthusian theory will
modify any alarm which may be felt. concern
ing possible depopulation of the earth
through the extension over the globe of civili-
zation and woman's rights with their depress-
ing influence upon the birth rate.
