THE spectacle of the united soldiers

with flashing srmor and plumed he'll
NETS, their horses gaily capa -isoned,
their armor clsnking, and their long
spears held high. Today the soldiers
and sailors of the United States, of
Britain, of Germany, Russia and

of China demanding the safety of the
lives of Christians.

the children and the older people to
read this immortal document over
each year, to keep in mind the manner
of our national birth. Think what i,
meant to this little group of patriots
their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor
all pledged to the cause they believed
to be eacred. Not q reservation did
they make, but their hearts, souls,
aud bodies they gave freely to their
country. 1t is interesting to compare
the grievances which the colonies
said they had with those that the
Filipinos say are theirs. The un-Aner-
lean Aunties call Aguinsldo the Fill
pho Washington, and deity the In
surgent leaders'a s patriots Of the sort
that signed our declaration of inde-
pendence. A careful'reading Of the
document itself in the light of rece>
history will disclose how absurd are
all their allegations. There is one
clause in the declaration tkat has
caused q great deal OF misunderstand-
ing, because It ia not true. That L..
that "all men are created equal.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit OF hap
pIness" is sufficient without stating
the impossible. Men are not born
equal in any sense, and it is wrong to
try to base any reasoning upon such
premises. But the document as q
whole is a magnificent deliverance.
It's periods resouud with the cry of lib
erty, and its words breathe the longing
for freedom that has been the guiding
spirit of the race.

THE WORLDS BIG CITIES

There will be but little change il
the rank of the great cities of the ear th
when this census records the increase
in the population of the United States.
London with her six and half million
souls is still the city of all cities.
Greater New York has stepped to Sc
cure second place with only "a little
more than half London's Inhabitants,
3, 300 600, and Paris, the acknowledged
queen of all cities and long the second
in size, has had to drop to third place
with her 2, 100000.
The United States and old China are
rivals as makers of big cities but China
ia still ahead with her three million
cities built through the Glow processes
of city making centuries before the
q nited States WAS born. China's
0o0, .Pekin and Tien Tsin, each with an
es timsted population hanging around
she million figure.
China, though she has more million
cities, only has sixth rank, that is
probably with this census's figures
G hicsgo will step In fourth palce, Ber-
lin has fifth, and Canton sixth. Vienns
Is usually given seventh place. Phiia-
delphis with probably 1,35O,OC0 will
likely have the eighth, Japan's one
city with over q million, Toxic, has
ninth, Russia's two big cities, ST.
Petersburg and Moscow, follow, and
Peki is the twelfth of the cities of a
million or over.
If Boston were to swallow up all the
little cities about her as London and
New York have done, she would have q
rank among the earth's big cities.
CT ncinnasi, Cleveland, and Saa Francis
CO are climbing steadily towards the
half million figure and will probably
all be near AGO. 600, while Pittsburg,
W ashington, Detroit and Milwaukee
are near 300, 900. Newark, Minneapolis,
New Orleans, Louisville, Jersey City
and Kansas City will all bring up in
the vicinity of 200, 900.
The principal lesson from all this is
that In the United States, the newest
tion, the tendency to concentrate In
cities OF great size is far more marked
than 1t is in any other nation on earth,
thus making new problems In govern
ment for US to solve. |
