WHY STAY PALE ?

A pity to see pale girls stay
BALE and dull when it is so

SCOTS Emulsion does a few
things well. One of them is

WHAT REPRESENTATIVE AMERI
CANS SAY OF THE
Central Park
"PERMANENT MOVEMENT"
SAYS LANES j. HILL. -


In answer to the question: as the
present movement into the northwest
of a permanent character and likely
to continue?" President James j. Hill.
who, from his so years of personal OBJ
servation and experience in the north
west, is probably as good a prophet
as there is under the sun, gives the
Commercial West, in personal inter
view, the following interesting state
ment:
Certainly it is permanent, and it is
bound to continue. Just look at the
facts:
The population of the United
States is increasing at the rate of H.,
900 daily. We are growing at the rate
of nearly 100000 year. We have
/ doubled in every 80 or 40 years of our
history. Inside of so years we will
have 15O,OOO,0OO. Where are they GO
ing? Are we sending them away?
/ Are they emigrating to other lands?
No; we are taking care of them at
home. Where is this extra million
and-a-half a year going? Where else
but into the new lands of the west.
and into the northwest above all?
Where else are cheap lands, fertile
soil, healthful climate, transportation
facilities to good markets, and condi-
tons favorable to human energy and
enterprise so abundant and ready to
hand as right here in the northwest?
rs there anything of a boom char
acter about such a condition as this ,
Not bit. 1t is not only normal and
natural, it is necessary, it is compell-
/ ed. What else can this population
do, where else can they go? The cit
| les cannot absorb the 50,000,000 in
crease of the next 30 years. The bulk
of the population must be engaged
/ in productive occupations. They must
be at work providing that great and
fundamental necessity of mankind
everywhere-food for subsistence.
The great absorbing industry, the
most important from practical ma
teriaI standpoint, is the production of
food, and food comes from the soil.
The cities flourish and prosper and
our civilization is enduring only when
the vast majority of the people is on
the soil, toiling by sweat of the brow
to produce food, on the one hand, and
the raw materials for manufacture,
trade and transportation on the 9th
1 er. The bulk of this 50,000,0 900 human
increase must go to the soil, and they
pour into the northwest as naturally
as water flows down hill. This popu-
lation movement into the northwest
/ is as normal and natural as the fact
that water seeks a level"

IRELAND'S POLICY 0.K.:ED
The Change in the Catholic Univer-
sity Considered Favorable
to Him.

From The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington. Jan. 14.-Friends of Arch
bishop Ireland in Washington are jubi-
liant over an announcement from Rome
that the Catholic University of America
located here, has been. taken from the
control Of the congregation of the prop
uganda and given to the congregation of
the studies. This change is believed to
be an indication Of the triumph in Rome
Of the American policy for which Arch
bishop Ireland has. been especially noted
for the past dozen years, and which has
made him enemies in church circles
among the more conservative elements.
Mgr. Ireland years ago mapped out a lib
eral policy for the university, assisted by
Archbishop Keane Of Dubuque. then con-
nected with it. and was subjected to many
bitter attacks. The announcement from
Rome is taken to mean that that policy
has now been accepted by the Holy See,
and many are now, looking for Archbishop
Irelands advancement. to the cardinalate.
The congregation of the propaganda has
full charge Of all church institutions OF
learning In mission countries, of which
the United States is one. The congrega
ton OF the studies, however, has charge
Of church education in all the old and
strongly Catholic European, J. countries
The change will mean that the Catholic
University Of America will be managed or
the broad and liberal lines characteristic
Of the management Of these old WOrlC
| schools.

All this money is not to be expended

reports of the amounts to be expended for
construction either under way or to be
commenced in the spring and adding the
available known figures for replacing
equipment and making betterments on the
existing right of way, such as reducing
grades, Strengthening lines, ETC., it is
probable that the total is under the actual
amount planned. -
