The secret of American industrial
success is the superior skill and pro-

these respects Americans are in a

At the beginning OF the century sta
tisticians are predicting the popula ton
of the United States when the next
century shall begin, as if population
were the real measure of the nations
greatness. China has population, and
little else. Some of our cities have so
much of the worst kinds of populat ton
that they hold UP cars full of people
and demand their, money, which the
latter hand over without protest. The.
character of the country's population
is of greater Importance than the
counting of a few additional millions
which contribute nothing but crime.
