WHAT THE CENSUS TELLS.

The figures given out by Superintend-
ent PORTER relating to the distribution
of the population in this country are
peculiarly interesting in their bearing
on the tariff question. He gives the
whole population at fraction over g.
100000, which is disappointment to
those who imagined that we were max
ing the most tremendous strides in
growth of any nation under the sun.
Mr.. PORTER attempts to explain this
away by making direct reflection upon
Gen. WALKERS method of census-tak-
ing in 1870, reflection that is unjust as
it is unwarranted. Gen. WALKER man.

isfaction to the whole people in his adj
ministration Of the census bureau.
which is something that can't be said
for Mr.. PORTER.
But taking PoRTER's figures, we find
that in the last ten years the average
increase of population has been about
100000 per year, or 100000 in the
decade. Of the total increase over
100000, or more than one-half. has
been in the twelve states which include
the Western Central division. These
states compose the grain-growing belt
Of the United States, and are states
where the agricultural industry pre-
dominates. This Western Central di-
vision includes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
Missouri, the two Dakotas, Nebraska
and Kansas. The increase of popula-
ton in each of these states ranges from
a quarter OF a million to over half mill
ion during the last decade. Indiana
shows the smallest increase, which is
2l0,7l9. and Nebraska the largest, 6c4,-

her increase of 1924.
Then. turning TO the New England
states, we find the total increase does
not amount to as much rs of one of the
states in the Western Central division.

lation in Vermont With the excep-
ton of Massachusetts there is not sin

increase worth speaking Of
And yet the tariff policy adopted by
the Republicans Is altogether in favor
OF New England and a gross discrimi-
nation against the great and growing
states OF the West. While population
has been pouring into the West and
the fertile soil has been producing the
bread for the nation, all the wealth is
being concentrated in the hands OF q few
Eastern people. 1t is a striking Illus
tratlon OF the correctness of Tom OCuII-
TREES figure when lie compared the
Republican tariff policy to COW with
her hind feet east of the Alleg henies,
and her fore feet resting on the fertile
plains of the West. The Western

THAT ROORBACK.

Roorbacks on the eve of an election
are the unerring sign that the party
which manufactures them in desper-
ate straits, but even the opposi ton
didn't suppose that the Republicans
were driven to the extremity of appeal
ing to religious pref udice in the vain
hope of bOlstering their cause. The
circular sent out from Republican head
quarters, of which mention is made in
another column, APP pealing to the pref
udiccS of Irish Catholics, is the most
dcSpicable electioneering trick ever
known in these parts. 1t is dire ct in
suit to the intelligence of every Irish
man, and is an outrageous libel upon
the mother church, in that it processes
to have been sent out under direction of
church authority, when in fact it went
out from Republican headquarters. OF
course the natural tendency of such
things is to react upon the parties who
perpetrate them, and thus the Repub-
licans are doing their cause more harm
than good. But it is the meanness Of
the thing, the profane spirit with which
it was done, thai we especially con-
denim. 1t is trifiing with holy things,

The hall was filled to OVERLOOKING at an

first speaker. After generally referring
to the state, congressional. legislative

view OF these facts, that John B..
Oliver, as belonging to one of these
old French families, was justly entitled
to generous support AS the representa-

Judge Wood also showed that major

that Col. Kiefer should go down to

oKI.AHoMANs IN BAD SHAPE.
Gen. Merritt Says They Are With
out Food or Money.


WASHINGTON, Nov. LIN his annual
report to the war department of the OPP
Grafton of the army in the department
of the Missouri, Brig. Gen. Merritt
states that on several occasions during
the past year troops have been called
out to suppress threatened Indian out
breaks, but upon their appearance their
services were not required; they were
returned to their posts without going
into action. The presence of troops at
the polls in the Oklahoma elections
was requested by the authorities, but
their arrival seemed to have queting
effect, and the anticipated riot did not
occur. Gen. Merritt says that the cat
tlemen in the Cherokee strip show no
disposition to violate the conditions
governing their stay in that territory.
The condition of the people III Okla
homa is represented by Gen. Merritt as
bad in the extreme. The severe drought
has rendered the corn crop failure
Investigation has satisfied him that
about one-third of the people are with
out food OF money, and will need assist
ance from outside the territory or
starve. 1t will also. he says, be neces-
sary to supply about half the farmers,
with grain for seeding purposes. Gen.
Merritt encioses the report of the med
icai director which says the sanitary
condition Of the department, without
exception. is most excellent, and the
general health uf commands very good.

TO THE WAGE-EARNERS.

As this is the last opportunity the
SUNDAY GLOBE will have to address
the working people of the Twin Cities
before the election, we ask them to sit
down with us and let US reason together
concerning the issues involved in this
election, and particularly as to the best
way to give f0rcible expression to the
voice of labor
There is a pretty general unanimity
OF opinion among the industrial classes
by this time that the Republican tariff
policy is destructive to the labor inter-
est. Any system of creating wealth
which puts all the wealth of a country
into the hands of a few persons must
necessarily reduce the masses to a con-
dition of yassalage. The aggregate
wealth of the country increases every
year, hence the tariff barons argue that
the country prosperS under a high tariff
policy. They omit to mention the
more important fact that the distribu-
tive wealth of the country is lessening
every year. and no real prosperity can
exist unless the wealth of a nation is
equally distributed. 1t would be of no
benefit to the masses if the aggregate
wealth of the nation increased tenfold
every decade if that growing wealth
were all being concentrated in the hands
OF a few persons. 1t would simply be
building up a plutocracy on the ruins
of popular government. That is pre-
ciseiy the condition of this country to-
day. The intelligent working classes
are beginning to realize the force of
this statement, and are endeavOring TO
organize against the power of aggre-
gated capital.
The only remedy that labor has is in
the ballot. Labor organizations are of
no avail so long as the monopolists con-
troll the legislation and have in their
possession all the machinery of the
state and national governments. Hence
1t becomes practical question with the
industrial classes to determine how 70
utilize their votes in protection of their
own interests. Here in Minnesota we
nave singular complication of affairs
by the appearance of four state tickets
in the field. The Republican party
stands for the high tariff policy, while
all OF the other three parties are op-
posed to it. The combined strength of
the opposition is nearly, if not alto
gether, double that of the Republican
party; and yet this opposition is so di-
ViUed that it may fail to exercise the

power that rightfully belongs to it.
What is to be done under the circum-
stances?
1t is to this question we ask the
thoughtful consideration of the work
ingmen of these two cities. A vote for
WILSON, a vote for OWEN, or a vote for
PINKHAM, is protest against Repub-
lean methods and Republican princi-
pies. These protests would he numerous
enough to bury the Republican party
out of sight if they all went in one di-
rection. Now what direction shall they
take? We are candid in the statement
that we are not governed by partisan
influences when we say that Judge WILL
son has the best chance to win of the
three opposing candidates. By con-
centratio.. of your votes upon him you
will assure victory for the principle
for which you are contending, while by
casting ballot for either Mr.. OWEN or
Mr.. PINKHAM you are simply giving ex-
preston to an individual protest against
Republican methods without accom-
pliShing practical results. 1t is some
satisfaction to an honest man to know
that he has voted his convictions, but
it is more of satisfaction to know that
he has voted his opinions with real,
active force

WHY THEY DON'T MARRY.

81. raul, as most western cities, has
some measure of personal interest in
VaSsar college by representation in its
constituency. 1t is among the most adj
yanced in the culture it affords young
women. It's graduates may be presumed
to have all the advantages that higher
education, as now codified, can afford
women, with no abatement of the
graces that magnify personal attrac-
tons. Taking Eassar as representative
of the best phases of the bruadened in
tellectnal life afforded the sex, sonic
statistics recently gathered 10y one of
the Leslie publications suggest an in
quiSitiye thought OR two. EasSar has
been in operation twenty-five years or
more, and its pupilage has in
the main been from the classes
that are given the collegiate train
ing for other purposes than prep
aration for an avocation for sub
sistence. The predlsposition in its
membership toward matrmony would
naturally be more general than with
the students of institutions that had
less means at their command. The
publication named has followed SCI of
the young ladies from fasSar, aud but
315. or sc per cent of them, have mar
ried. Ii the age of each Uf the SCI could
be given, more accurate conclusions
could be drawn. As they have passed
reached the stage OF conservative or
decorous eligibility to matrimony. If
MARIA MITCHELL was doing more than
to try to cover an unpaiatable fact when
she said, The Vassar girl marries late,
but marres WE'LL" it may be conceded
that finally GO per cent in place
of Sc will marry. 1t may be as
sumed that the possibility of this rela-
ton never disappears With the Fassar
girl except with life, and still there
seems a good deal of material in the
figures that can be used in support of
the theory that the higher education
with girls leads away FROM the connubial
state. The girls sent to such institu-
tons may be assumed to be among the
brightest and most eng aging. With the
added attractions that meRtaiand phys
ical culture gives it might be presumed
that they would be mere sought for
wives than the average of those with
less advantages. The authority quoted
finds that the Vassar girls traced have
engaged in thirty-seyen different oc-
equations besides matrilnouy and teach
ing" nearly all of them gainful. If
there were data gathered to indi-
cate how Inatrimony compares with
other occupations in the way of
gainfulneSs, some aid would be afforded
in the solution of the problem why
highly educated females are less likely
to become wives than the others. In
.Quiries formulated after the manner of
the census questions would show the
number Of these fair NasSarites that
have chosen not to marry rs 4 prefer
ence, and the proportion that have been
without opportunity. These facts. how
ever, must be left to conjecture. The
lesson to he educed is that there is an
indisposition with men to seek q do
mestic companion among the most
highly educated, or the greater indie
pendence afforded by mental develop
ment leads the female mind to the be-
lief that thore are more gainfni ayoca-
tons than matrimony. Female colleges
are not, apparently, avenues to we'd
