Newark,

Charles S. Danforth, the engineer
now making the preliminary survey
for the proposed bridge over Staten
Island sound, was quoted in Wednes-
days Evening News as favoring a
drawbridge across the sound. He
says such q structure would not mar
the beauty of either shore. Mr.. Dan
forth makes a mistake when he speaks
about the beauty of the shore. While
there is no doubt that a handsome
bridge and an attractive approach
is desired, the first of all requirements
Is no obstruction to navigation. 1t is
the port of Perth Amboy that has
made this city what it Is, and 1t is
the port that will make its future
greatness. Nothing should be built
across the sound that will be a hind
to vessels in any manner.
Mr.. Danforth is quoted as saying a
draw asaalarge as the Raritan river
bridge could be built. . To block the
traffic on the sound with the excep-
tion of two narrow places the width
Of the opening in the Raritan river
drawbridge would be a crime. The
commerce on the Raritan river is not
a drop in the bucket to that of Staten
kIsland sound, especially since the
anal has practically been closed. Toe

gentlemen who assembled remain "un-
terrified at the audacious attempts 20

featured message from the President
OF the United States. Most of them
take the same position as we have oc-

the canard. Others who think the
President has expressed some opinions

A great deal has been said about the
Noise this is likely to make through

course. upon the efforts OF those people
and papers that threaten it. They
may as well understand now as at any
time, that the majority Of the people
OF Utah are not to be frightened by
noise or a tumut OF any kind. Nor
are they to be deferred by such means
from doing anything that they believe

tor though not at present matter Of

FROM A BRITISH POINT or VIEW

A contributor TO London paper
quoted in the Northwestern Christian
Advocate, discusses the Monroe doc
trine as understood We presume by
the well-lnformed British public, and
his explanations are Of special interest
at this time. To The question, what
IS this Monroe doctrine which threatens
10 draw the United States into a South
American debt-collecting quarrel?' he
says in substance;
After the French revolution had been
crushed and Napoleon sent to ST.
Helena, the rulers OF Europe deter
mined TO allow no more national up
rislngs ike that revolution. SO they
banded themselves together in the Holy
Alliance, to crush national freedom.
England was then guided by Canning
and his principle was that the country
should ever be on ,he side Of freedom.

cal monarch. Canning wished 10 inter-
fere IN behalf OF the people, but Eng
land was not strong enough to defy the

The growth OF the United States dur
ing the century that is past Is among
ihe phenomenal features Of that hts
torical period. At the Opening Of the
nineteenth century. the area Of the
country was only s21sA square miles,
Now It Is S,O25,6QO square miles, exclu-
sivc OF Alaska and the islands. There
are now In the United States more
British speaking people than in the
British empire
The population Of the country at the
beginning o. the century was o'SosASS;
now It is 76.S03 $50. The following COM
parison with European countries gives
an idea Of the wonderful growth; In
1901 the population OF Great Britain
was l5,SaG,iil; in 1900 IT had increased
to dO.9O9925. This IS scarcely a three
fold enlargement; the increase Of the
United states in the same period was
fourteen-fod. At the opening Of the
nineteenth century France had $780,
O93 inhabitants. IN 1896 the census dis
closed a population Of 3s,5l19G. II was
very little more in 1900 consequently
tic French failed to double their num-
bers during the century The states

The estimated wealth of the country
Is S9l 800 0O0,Ood or sl,2S5.S6 per capt
"a. In 1850, when the first attemnt to
obtain statistics on national wealth, the
total was placed at s113S7S0oOO, or
SSol69 per capita
Similar growth is shown in every d.
.rectlon. In 1900, for instance, there
were 903 posiotloes in the United States
aud the revenues from carrying the
mails amounted to s2SO,S0l. In 1850 the
number Of postoices had increased to
lSll7 and the revenues TO S5,f99,9S5
Fifty years later, in 1890. there were
7G,6SS postoilices, and the receipts Of
the department aggregated SlO2,3J4599.
In the fiscal year Just ended the postal
revenues exceeded S2i,OOO.OOO. In 1870
the number of telegraphic messages
sent in the United States was 9,l576i6;
in 1900 there were 63l67,7S3 flashed over
the wires In this country. In 1910 there
were only 1853 newspapers and perlodi-
Gals of ali kinds published in this coun-
Try. In the middle of the century the |
number had Increased to 1896; fifty !
years later. in 1900. the number Of such
was 20,SO6.
