Galveston is made an exception on account of the great storm and is set down with a loss of 5,g9i since the cen- sus of 1900. Her population in 1900 having been 37,7S9, an increase of 3,705 over 1890. her added population by the same method of estimation adopted for the other cities would give her popu- lation in 1908 of 40,399 and a rank next to that of Mobile.
 In the second instance, that referring to density of population, the area be- ing given in acres, the following shows how many people to the acre live in the twenty-two Southern cities:
 New Orleans, h39; Louisville, 1312; Memphis. 11.57; Atlanta, 13.71: Rich mond, 21~71; Nashville, 1917; Savannah, 14.9S; San Antonio, 1907: Norfolk, 15.33; Charleston.

TOT; Chattanooga, 11.3o; Lexington. 1882; Fort Worth. 6.30.
 The population per acre in the largest cities, those of over 360.000, Is already reduced in average by reason of the city's area in parks and public reserva- lions that are uninhabited. New Yorks was 17.76 an acre; Philadelphia's, 16.49; Chicago's 15.35; St. Louis, 15.69; Bos- toms, 19.46; Baltimores, 26.21, and so on.

who have no reason to advertise for
subscribers to capital stock, and this
in a measure accounts for the fact
that practically nothing has been said
about the development in the news
papers. A dam has just been COM
pleted, 80 feet in height, s feet in
thickness at the top with the proper
thickness at the base for such struc-

turn the entire current of Salllda

dug. This canal, nearly half a mile
in length, looks almost like a huge
river bed itself. The power that will

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.

I am particularly glad to speak to
this audience of miners aid their wives
and children and especially to speak
under the auspices of this great tenn
perance society. In our country the
happiness Of al 1.-The rest Of our people
depends most of all upon the welfare
0 fthe wage-worker and the welfare of
the farmer. If we can secure the well
fare of these two classes we can be
reasonably certain that the community
as a whole will prosper. And we must
never forget that the chief factor in
securing the welfare alike of wage
worker and Of farmer, as of everybody
else, must be the man himself.
The only effective way to help any
body is to help him help. himself. There
are exceptional times when. any one of
us needs outside help, and then 1t
should be given freely; but normally
each one of us must depend upon his
own exertions for his own success.
Something can be done by wise legisla-5
ton and by-.wise and honest iadninisss-.

Many of them had been standing at

tremely pleased at the demonstration
and kept bowling to the right and lett.
The crowd at the speakers stand was

organization is managed with wisdom
and integrity, with instance upon the
rights Of those benefited and yet with
just regard for the rights Of others
But in the last analysjsssais1eS1actor
,Gesss1ssn tasl1esniil Determining any
~ ms success must ever be the sum
hat mans own qualities, Of his
'Jwledge, foresight, thrift and cour-
,e. Whatever tends to increase his
self-respect, whatever tends to help him
overcome the temptations with viii. !
all of us are surrounded. is Of benefit,
not only to him, but to the whole COM
murtty.
No one society can do more to help
the wage-worker than such temper
ance society as that which am now
addressing. 1t is of incalculable con-
sequence to the man himself that he
should be sober and temperate, and it
IS of even more consequence to his wife
and his children; for it is hard and
cruel fact that in this life Of ours the
sins of the man are often visited most
heavily upon those whose welfare
should be his one special care.
THE DRUNKARD'S FAMILY.
For the drunkard, for the man who
loses his job because he cannot control
or will not control his desire for lii 0r
and for vicious pleasure, we har a
feeling Of anger and contempt mix u
with our pity; but for his unfortunate
wife and little. ones we feel only pity,
and that of the deepest and tenderst
kind.
Everything possible should be done
to encourage the growth of that spirit
Of self-respect, self-restraint, self-re-
lance, which, if it only grows enough,
is certain to make all those in whom it
shows itself move steadily upward to-
ward the highest standard of American
citizenship. 1t is proud and respon-
s;ble privilege to be citizens of this
great self-governing nation; and each
of us needs to keep, steadily before his
eyes the fact that he is wholly unfit to
take part in the work Of governing
others unless he can first govern him
self. He must stand up manfully for
his own rights; he must respect the
rights of others; he must obey the law
and he must try to live up to those
IGleS OIL righteousness WHICH are dDOVe
and behind all laws.
This applies just as much to the man
of great wealth as to the man of small
means; to the capitalist as to the wage
worker. :And as one practical point,
let me urge that in tn eevent Of any
difficulty, especially if it is what is
known as labor trouble, both sides
should show themselves willing to
meet, willing to consult, and anxious
each to treat the other reasonably and
fairly, each to LOOK at the others side
Of the case and to do the other justice.
If only this course could be generally
followed, the chance of Industrial dis
aster would be minimized.

Two Coaches Telescoped.
The high speed of the passenger
train threw it's locomotive and first
three coaches over on the engine OF

smoker and the car following. Tue for
ward cars of the freight train were
splintered to fragments.
Of the passengers in the smoker,
none escaped injury. Fortunately there
was no fire, but the heavy timbers OF
the wrecked cars pinned down many
and prevented them from getting out
until assistance arrived.
AS soon as possible after the wreck
occurred doctors were sent ON spe-
cial train to the scene from Lorain.
The injured were hurried to Lorain
and placed in the hospital there. The
dead were conveyed to the morgue at
