THE KANSAS CENSUS.

Kansas is one Of the states which take a
census every ten years midway between the
FEDERAL censuses, thus helping TO measure at
more frequent intervals the nations rate Of
growth. That this rate though fairly steady
for the country at large, is highly variable Tor
| a given state is amply demonstrated by the
results OF these 1905 enumerations. In Massa-
chusetts, for instance there was decided fall
ing OF in the percentage Of increase. In New
Jersey no elackening was shown In the states
recent exceptionally rapid growth. The EMU
mer1tion in Iowa disclosed an absolute loss In
population between 1900 and 1905. Now comes
Kansas neighbor OF Iowas-with q gain
which though very moderate, indicates a some
what faster growth than was recorded for the
decade between 1890 and 1900.
The population OF Kansas is now ,545, S1s
in 1900 the total was 1,470495 and the five
vear Increase amounts to 1922 This Is
sa.n or per cent, forecasting a gain for the
ful decade OF 10 per cent. The increase in
,,onuIstion for the entire country between 1890
"a 1900 was 20.9 per cent so that Kansas is
49, Growing about half as fast al the average
AMERICAN state. But between 1890 and 1900
E.nsas scarcely grew at all The increase for
that decade was 42SS7. or only per cent
Tha 1905 enumeration shows, therefore,
marked Improvement though the gross gain IS
undeniably small
Like Iowa, Kansas rs tSpAS"A asA1eoAeuhou
state Neither commonwealth contains an ur-
han community of great size. Des Moines the
largest city IN Iowa, has about 10000 inhab-
stants Kansas City, KAN. an appendix to
Kansas City, Mo-, has a population of 6I'el2.
With no urban development TO depend on to
balance losses from the constant shifting OF
rural population TO more newly settled COM
munities further west, these two common
wealths have now practically passed their first
period OF growth. Until the second period OF
industrial expansion sets IN they VIII make

the wrong is much aggravated by the manner
in which the theft is effected. It would be bad

The decision TO keep the Panama Canal enter
prise under the charge of the War Department
will doubtless command the cordial approval OF
all who have given the matter serious thought
There is no essential incongruity In committing
great industrial undertaking to the military
department of the government. because that
department. comprises large share of the en-"
cheering and scientific ability at the govern
ment's command. For that reason for many
years river and harbor improvement works
have been intrusted to the War Department
with recognized propriety and acceptability.
For personal reason, moreover it is crafty
ing to have the Panama enterprise kept under
the direction of Secretary Taft. He has already
done so much work of supreme Importance IN
connection with it, and has shown so conspicu-
GUS a degree of fitness and efficiency in dealing
with it's multifarous and arduous problems, that
il is at once just to him and most suspicious for
the work that he should continue to direct H.
Second only to President Roosevelt himself, Sec
retary Taft will enjoy historic distinction as the
builder of the Panama Canal.

LIGHT ON MCGOWAN.

Mr. Mct,owan was in evidence at the meellng
of the Pensacola Club on Friday evening" MT.
MCGOWAN is the gentleman new TO fame VINO
has been picked out TO serve Mr.. Murphy US
Mayor in case Mr.. Murphy is able TO carry OUT
his scheme and make Mr.. Mcclellan Governor
The Pensacola Club is q Tammany organlza-
ton of the 18th Assembly District, where Mr..
John T. Oakley manipuIates politics and dis
tributes patronage. Mr.. Oakley is the Commis-
sioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity VINO
made the secret and outrageous contract WIN
the lighting monopoly which precpltated the
gas investigation.
The principal orator at the Pensacola Clup
meeting in honor of Mr.. MCGOWAN was George
F. Roesch, we'll, if not favoraby, known as an
old line Tammany leader, who gave us some in-
sight into the origin of MCGOWAN. He said:
The 18th District is getting to be absolutely
necessary to the administration of city affairs
1t has given Tammany its wisest councillors
and Senators and Assemblymen TO the state
without number Your leader John t. Oakley.
is without equal, and now you give TO the city a
president of the Board of Aldermen, who may
some day i'll the near future be Mayor of Greater
New-York / tell you, men of the Pensacola
Club it has got to the point that when states
men are needed the people turn to the 1fth DIS
trict to find their
am almost inclined to be jealous because my
district is the 10th, and with so many taVofS
going around here it looks as if I and my con-
ley and MCGOWAN you have two men who will
get everything that is coming for their district
They will not forget their friends.
This was highly enlightening to the members
Of the Pensacola Club and TO the people VINO
are expected to vote for this future Mayor" OF
Greater New York. Mr.. MCGOWAN is put up to
get everything that is coming" for the 18th
District and not forget his friends, and he evil
IDENTIFY will not, for when called upon to speak
he said: II came to meet you tonight as neigh
''bors and friends and to thank you and our
leader, Mr.. John T. Oakley, for the signal
'honor which has been conferred upon me-" So
there we have it. Mr.. MCGOWAN is the CRATE
full creature OF Mr.. John T. Oakley. Under the
tuteIage of Oakley he is going to get for the
18th District what is coming to it, and Roesch
and Oakley are going TO have him for Mayor
as soon AS they can.

The following is a remarkable declaration 20
have been made to a Tanmany convention:
"Second-Membe i'll this administration will
not of itself entite any to retention I'm the
next administration, should I be reelected. II I
believe that the interests of the city will be better
served by change at the head OF any department.
that change will be made, and no amount OF
clamor from either without within the party
will make follow different course, If. on the
other hand. / believe that the retention of any
terest official will be retained and amount
OF claTnor from either without within the parry
will force me to remove him."
And his closing words were not less emphatic and
And so, sincerely grateful to you for the honor
you have done me, unpledged TO any man group
to the best OF my ability. 1 accept your nomina-
tion.''
