SOME CENSUS OBSERVATIONS

SOME CENSUS OBSERVATIONS
The census Of 1900 for North Dakota,
published in this issue, gives this county
IL, 1859 people, being an increase of 1856
over 1890 when we had Il, 1874. This
shows very gratifying increase, par
ticularly as in 1890 this county was prac-
tically all 'settled up.' That is, without
any vacant government land of any
amount. Still we think the figures are
too small judging from the vote cast and
from the school census. In fact, except
where purposely padded, census popula-
tion figures are almost certain to be too
small. While it is true that an occasion Il
person or family may be enumerated
twice, yet on the other hand the sin Of
omission is much more liable to the en-
numerator than the sin of commission.
There are always persons absent there
are always persons on the move, there
are some who live in secluded places,
theresare many accidentally omitted by
the negligence or oversight Of the en-.
numerator.
As it is, Pembina county stands fourth
in population among the counties of the
state, being exceeded by Cass. Grand
Forks and Walsh, each of which, how.
ever, exceed Pembina county in area.
Cass county having 40 townships, Grand
Forks about AZ, Walsh county 50 and
Pembina 81 townships. On this basis
cass has 5S4 people to the township,
Grand Forks 582, Walsh 56S and Penn.
bina 576. A very equal showing, but il
Fargo ana Grand Forks city populations
be eliminated it would show that boil,
:, Pembina and Walsh counties are much
more thickly settled in the rural districts;
that is, have more individual farmers to
the township than either cass or Grand
Forks counties.
Richland county, with almost equal
population to Pembina and only about
IL townships ofarea makesa better show
ing for the number Of farmers than
either. According to area, Richland
county easily stands first in total popula-
tion, and in its rural population.
Our neighbor and otfshoot. Cavalier
county, has been making mighty strides
during the last decade and now with
population Of Y, $50 stands eighth III
the row Of counties. She has, gained al
most100 per cent since 1890.
Nearly all Of the western counties have
gained very largely during the last ten
years; most Of them hid but . few hum

SWITzERLAND'S MILITARY
SvSTEM


d country is in no way incompatible with
democratic ideas or the pursuits ofpeacv.
For instance, in republican Switzerland
there is universal zeal for military train
ing, aud the drill of a soldier begins with
elghteen-year-old boys at school. Tue
design of the law under which all men Of
military age are liable to service in the
Swiss army is to fit every young man to
aid in the defense Of his country. with the
least possible withdrawal from the ordi-
nary pursuits of life while esu ject to drill.
The young recruits in tAe first year spend
two months, more or less, in actual army
service. In subsequent years their en-
rollment in the army takes hardly more
of their time than is occupied by men,
bership in our American national guard.
Yet the system is so we'll thought out,
and has behind it so much earnest pat
riotism, that it manages to give the little
Swiss nation a possible army of defense
of 500, 600 men. without any very heavy
drain upon the treasury of the confedera-
ton, and without impairing the industrial
and productive resources of the people.
What we need in the United States is a
larger body of highly trained officers, a
better organization of the general staff, a
considerable increase in the maximum
size of the regular army, and some plan
by which purely volunteer system will
give the country large force of young
citizens in all ranks and walks of life
possessed Of enough military training to
constitute an effective reserve for times
of femergency.-From "The Progress of
the World" in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews for December.
The above extract is in line with sug-
gestions that have been previously made
in this paper. We believe in a certain
amount and certain sort of militarisn,.
We do not necessarily need large stand
ing army, but we do need a system by
which large volunteer army can be
raised and equipped at short notice. We
have an abundance of material, but no
organization or plan.
We believe in military instruction in
all high schools, similar to that now
practiced in colleges. We believe in a
national militia, every state to have its
quota. We believe in regular system
Of graduation from the school to the
militia, and from the militia to the regu-
lar army by those persons who develop
particular aptitude. desire or talent for
military science. We have plenty of raw
material for soldiers and for officers, but
there is no time 10 drill soldiers or de-
velop officers after war is declared.
The objections to a standing afmy will
not apply to volunteer citizen soldiery.
With almost no encouragement from the
government and practically without pay,
some states even now have quite a re-
spectacle militia. With government
support, in the shape of some pay, and
the use Of regular army teacher officers,
and opportunities for the best to take.
promotion: in the regular army, there
would no trouble and comparatively
little expense in maintaining body Of
men 50 large and with sufficient disci-
pline, that any foreign nation would hesi-
tate 2 long time before going to war
with country. y s;

MANKIND WILL DIE or rHIRsT.
(Pearson's MAGAZINE. }

(Pearson's Magazine.
The opinion OF many scientific men and
of imaginative writers, as 80 how the
world Will end are gathered together by
Fl. G. Fyfe. He discusses the theories of
such men as Lord Kelvin, who predicted
that the world was doomed to die OF
suffocation; Of Nil1ola Tesla, who thinks
that we may set fire to the atmosphere
with our electrical discharges; of H. G.
Wells, who opines that intense cold
will end life on the-world of Sir William
Crookes, who thinks that our food supply
viii fail; and of others who have pre-
lision with comet, or the supremacy of
the beast creation over man
One of the most novel theories discussed
is that OF M x. Stanier, the celebrated
professor OF geology, who puts forward
the idea that man VIII die of thirst M
Stanier allows that the idea of mankind
dying from thirst seems paradOxical
when we consider the seemingly mex
haustible supplies man possesses in the
oceans and seas which cover three-uuar-
tiers OF the surface of the globe. Stiu,
there is some danger of this vast GUAM
tity disappearing.
In the past the terrestrial crust. - saws
M. Stanier, "has absorbed large duanfi-
ties of water; this action is still going
on, and likely to assume greater proper
tiOns in the future. On account of its
weight water tends to descend into deem
holes; while the centre OF the globe re-
mains in fiery condition this absorption
is slow, but as the cooling of the inter
ior goes on, the surface water viii pene-
trate more and more, and win enter into
combination with the recently solidifled
rocks In the heart Of the earth, which are
specially absorptive by reason of their
metallic composition. The oceans.
prophesies M. Stannier, will grow small
er and smaller; the rains which nourish
the continents will become rarer and
rarer, while the deserts Will enlarge their
boundaries and gradually absorb the fer.
tile plains. "
