HAS LONDON REACHED A LIMIT?
The Census Shows That II Is Failing Behind
the Country's Growth

The result of the recent census shows
that during the last five years the popu-
lation of London has increased some
what less rSpidly than it did in the pre-
vious ten--1SS1- 1891. The number of peo-
pie turned out to be some $4,000 below
the estimate formed on the basis of 1891
The diHerence is small, but important.
as it shows that the previous fall in the
rate OF incSease is maintained The
population is growing at less and less
rapid pace. AT the beginning of the cene
tCry 1T used to increase by more than 20
per cent in the ten years between sue
cessive censuses; in 1SS1-1S91 that rate
had fallen to 10.4 per cent, the lowest on
record, and now 1t is still less This
movement is not part of general de-
cline; 1t Is peculiar to London, and seems
to indicate that the huge overgrowth of
the metropolis has begun to cure itself
The wen" has passed it's zenith in re-
lation to the rest of the country, and
now represents diminishing propoD-
ton of the whole population. Hitherto
that is, up to 1S81-although London
was growing at less rapid pace than it
had once done, 1t nevertheless kept con-
tinuously ahead of the rest of the coun-
try, and decade after decade claimed a
larger share of the total population.
Thus, in the year 1901, out of every 100
persons in England and Wales, 1918
lived in London; in 1881, out of every 100.
no fewer than 1859 lived in London: the
proportion had risen steadily with every
successive census. But by 1891 the cor
ner had been turned, and for the first
time on record the London share showed
fall, slight but significant The pro-
vinces are now increasing faster than
the metropolis.
Whether this has taken place in
obedience to q true demographic law or
wnether 1t Is due to accidental causes,
we have not sufficient data to deter
mine; but there are reasons for thinking
that the present point has been reached
by continuous and regular process of
very long duration, and that it was
mathemacically certain that a time
would come when the increase of the
general population would overtake that
OF the metropolis. No town can 90 on
growing Indefinitely, and even I,ondon
-monstrous as it is-has not fulfiIled
the expectations of earlier statisticians
Two hundred years ago it appeared TO
be growing so fast that Sir William Pet
ty, one of the earliest pioneers in geo
graphical research, reckoned that by
1S40 the population would reach ten mil
lions, supposing 1t to continue at the
same rate. He thought, however. that a
natural limit would be reached before
then and placed it in the year 1900 by
which time he calculated London would
contain something over five million in
habitants, and the rest of England only
four and half millions. He was yery
nearly right about the total, which ac-
tually was about nine millions, but Lon
don only accounted for one of them.
Since then 1t has nearly reached the
maximum, which, curiously enough.
seems likely to prove real natural limit

LADIES IN EARNEST.
An Echo of the Campaign.

Political managers and the public in
general have been deeply interested in
the national vote of the women in this
campaign. This was carried on by means
of postal cards sent by women all over
the United States to a designated manu-.
featuring office whose clerical force han.
died and counted the ballots. While il
is true that the ballots cannot be counted
for the favorite Presidential candidates Of
the fair voters, the movement has under.
meath it deep significance, giving an ex.
cellent illustration of the drift of opinion
among women, on public matters, as
compared with the expressed opinion
by the men.
1t will be observed that the Prohibi-
ton vote is very much heavier in proper
ton to the other votes, than is shown in
the mems election. There are some
thousands of names which cannot be
counted as votes, for the reason that only
those whose signature appeared on the
postal card or envelope, were counted.
Many of the ladies, in their honesty OF
purpose, failed to realize that much un.
fairness might creep in if votes were
counted on the testimony of some other
individual than the voter. The vote has
been strictly fair and accurately reported
no prejudice being allowed in the office
of the Postum Cereal Food Coffee Co.,
whose office force, by the way, are about
equally divided in their opinions of the
gold and silver question.
This women's vote has called forth LET
tiers from many prominent women
throughout the country, and while they
know the notes do not count de facto, the
writers appreciate the underlying motive
in the movement, which is to bring to
the front the idea of the right of women
to express their opinion as to who shall
make the laws under which they, as well
as the men, are governed. There is a
quaintness running through the follow
ing letter that will be appreciated, per-
haps. The letter comes from Baltimore
