CrotDfb of Canada.

In 1867, the year Of confederation.
the population of Canada was 3. 81, 594,
says the Toronto Mail and Express.
In 1891 the population was 4.s33, 2Ss.
In 1901 the figure is estimated to be
5000, 900. II We have but 5,5O0,000, as
some suppose. our increase will have
been 100000 since the union. In
1867 the area OF Canada was 499, 700
square miles; in 1901 the area Is 81
470,392 square miles, or about 40 per
cent of the area OF the British en-
pire. The addition Of Manitoba and
the northwest in 1870 and of British
Columbia on July 20. 1871, and of the
province of Prince Edward Island ON
July l. 1873, brought in the additional
three million square miles. In 1867 we
had 1850 miles of railway, which had
cost $3.50, 1927 900; in 1901 there are IT,
264 miles. which have cost $99S, 266, 900.
In 1867 we exported s57,567 900 worth
of products; in 1900 we exported Si5S,.
$4,000 worth.

Goo Many Doctors.

The Journal of the American Med.
ical association is Of the opinion that
there is surplus of doctors in the
United States, and regrets that the sur
plus is increasing. There is now one
doctor to every 600 of population. As
this is not on the whole an unhealthy
country, one physician ought to
be able to look after the aches and
pains of a thousand ordinary people.
Wherever more men are employed to
perform any kind OF service than are
actually needed, either the community
has to pay too much for services rem
dered or some of the men employed
must be unable to make more than.
bare living. II they make that.
According to the Journal 1000 doc
tors die yearly, in spite of their skill,
but almost 5000 are born. The medical
colleges, although the requirements
are severer than formerly, are turning
out 5000 graduates year. II this
keeps on, how long will 1t be before
there is one doctor for every 100 Of the
population? Then societies will have
to be organized for the relief of stary-
ing NJ. DIS.

the nominations for governor. By
common consent the roll call for pre-
sentiment of candidates was omitted.
and the main business attacked di-
rectly. The first ballot resulted in
the nomination of Cummins for gov
ernor by the following vote: Cum
minis s60k, Conger AZ, Hartman $50.
Trewin 369R, Mahon 2, Herriott s.
Colonel Stewart of Allamakee, man
ager for Trewin, arose and moved
that the nomination of Mr.. Cummins
be made unanimous. The motion
was quickly seconded by Raymond of
Franklin in behalf of Hartman. Car

bring Mr.. Cummins to the platform.
Two ballots were required to NOM
mate for lieutenant governor. On
the first ballot Herriott received IT'S,
Brant 664h, Klemme 17s and Harri-
man 1917. 1t was evident the tide
had turned strongly against Brant in
the Cummins counties, and almost the
whole of his support came from the
opposition. On the second ballot
there was n division along Cummins
and anti-Cummins lines, Herriott re-
ceiving $50, Brant 1888 and Klemme O.
Weaver was named for supreme
judge on the second ballot. On the
first ballot Weaver had 500 votes,

was: Weaver 1923, Towner $40, Dewey

pressly conferred and the state governments
limited to the control of matters strictly In
ternal and not interstate, adds to the com
pucatton. Before decisive measures can De
followed we must have the light OF some
experience. The natural laws of trade
must be given a chance to regulate the com
mercial world, but where abuses appear tho
people of America can safely trust the re
publican party-which has been the only
party since its existence which has inaug-
urated and carried out any legislative meas
ures of reform-fearlessly and with courage
to give the people all the relief and pro
lection which the laws afford and to stand
between these great organizations and OPP
preston Of any sort or degree.
The present unexampled prosperity OF
our land is directly the result Of that re-
publican doctrine of protection TO Ameri-
can manufacturers and American labor,
which In connection with a policy of rec
iprocity. has opened to American manu-.
facturers the markets of the world. As
lican an this state: I'VE are out In the
world now, looking for trade. We must
give and take, live and let live, grant
fayors to those who grant favors to us
with reciprocity, giving reasonable con.
sideration to those who give II to u.s.
The doctrine of protection has no hard
and fast rules Different conditions call
for different measures of relief. and as
production cheapens and foreign markets
are Invaded, the tariff can and will be
altered or abolished, as may. be necessary
TO enable the American people TO attain
the highest possible degree of prosperity,
always having in mind that no law will
be enacted which will in anvwse destroy

the American "scale Of wages"
In view Of the great foreign trade which
we have established, the fact that our

Cedar Rapids, Aug. s-The Cummins
forces were in complete control of
the republican state convention and
nominated candidates of their choice.
Before the convention convened Tie
lines had been drawn so clearly as to
demonstrate to Mr.. Herriott and his
delegates that their cause was hope
less. and following the loss of a large
number of delegates who had declared
their intention of voting for Cummins
Mr.. llerriott announced his with
drawal.
The biggest fight of the convention
was upon the report of the commit
tee on credentials, which recon-
mended that the full delegation from
Polk county and the delegation from
Carroll headed by B. /. Sallinger, and
the delegation from Jackson headed
by Frank II. Williams be seated. A
minority report was similar to the
majority report, except that it rec
