The Power of the Lobby

to give pessimist the horrors.

Politics barred the admission Of several territories into

Growth of Cities

recent census of Berlin dispes the common deuson
that only cities enjoy phenomenal growth
By the of Dec. l. 1900 the aggregate popula-
ton of the suburban towns and cities which form the outer
fringe of Berlin 6S37S which added to that Of Ber
lin itself, gave total of 2,572026 inhabitants. By
the of Dec 1904 the sububs show population of
S86377 gain of 203197 souls in four years, which, added
to the gain of 10 $50 Berlin proper gives net increase
of 321 O59 an average of sO264 per The pres
ent enumeration, therefore, raises the German capital,
counting only the territory and people who in fact do bust
in and belong to the city to metropolis of 2863OoS
people, with reasonably certain prospect of passing the
100000 milestone time in 1906.
The growth of cities is of the most interesting
social problems The great cities of the old world date
from far back in the past while the modern urban assemb
lagos of population show that there has been change
in the tendency of the human to herd together
The growth of some of the principal cities of the globe
in a century is thus shown:

the eight sisters of the present Baron
Inchiquin. The Inchiquin family
traces back direct from Brian Boru,
who was king of the Emerald Isle
from 1902 to 1910 when he was slain
at the head Of his army at the bat
tie of Clontarf. MS grandson,
Turlogh, King Of Munster. had four
sons. whereof the third was the pro-
genitor of the Barons Inchiquin. One
of Turgloghs descendants, Connor
O'Bryen, was King of Thormond at
so comparatively recent IA period
as 1929. and 1t was his brother, Muir.

FRANK ]. CANNON.

SALT LAKE CITY, March 16.-As
the Mormon church waged by Frank
JENNIE Cannon, former United States
senator from Utah, steps weretaken
this week to excommunicate him.
Under the terms of the will of the
late Geo. @. Cannon, members of the
first presidency of the Mormon
church and father of the latest ex-
ample. Canonon may lose his share
in the estate worth over $1,000, 900.
The will specifies that any of the
heirs may be cut off by the executors
from his or her inheritance for apos-
tacy.
No action will probably be taken
until the first week In April. when
the semi-annual Mormon conference
takes place.
The incident is the outcome or
the fight between Thos. Kearns, for
mer senator from Utah, and the Nor
mon church. When it became known
that Kearns could no longer hold
the sena tOrship, he commenced a
most aggressive campaign against
the dominant church in Utah. The
American party was launched and
Frank j. Common became one of the
| leaders. He accepted the editorship
of the Salt Lake Tribune and with
tongue and pen poured hot shot in
to the Mormon camp in a fashion
that fairly took away the breath of
the saints.
Experience shows but one out come
of the impending case. Unless Frank
j. Common publically apologies, APP
plies for re-baptism and pays up his
tithing, he will be communicated
and declared an apostate by the high
council
Owing to the extremely violent at
titude of the Salt Lake Tribune
against anything or erson bearing
the Mormon brand, this newspaper
has laid in a stock of firearms and
| ammunition against any trouble that
may break out.

Lands are advancing in price mo- where in the farming regions of this country so rapidly as in the corn belt" says the Seneca, Kan, Tribune Tt is limited area and cannot be proftably extended north or south of certain attitudes. It is unlike the other great cereal. wheat. as that can be grown in nearly every zone around the world. Enough wheat land can be found on this continent to bread the world. but the central regions of the United States have pretty nearly monopoly of corn. The uses for it are increas- ing. and the consumption is likely to more than keep pace with production The crop this year is estimated at the vast total of 2.700.000.OO0 bushels. That is an amount to be spoken Of but not understood. It breaks the rec ord. Rockefeller couldn't buy 1t with all the capital he controls.

SUBWAYS SUPPLANT "L."
New Workers Take to the Under ground in Preference to the
 High Line.

Riding on the elevated railroad is passing out of fashion, according to the man that dug New York's subway. He is quite sure that when the new under ground roads are built and in operation the city will be able to tear down its 50 miles of elevated railway structures, re- store 50 miles of ruined streets, and give back to its property owners hundreds of millions of dollars worth of real es- tate values. The elevated railways were we'll for the time in which they were built. They have done much to develop the city and serve the convenience of the people. But their ugly structures ob- struct and darken 50 miles of our finest streets. They are noisy, and make life uncomfortable for pedestrians. They shut out the light. and otherwise help to destroy the value of 100 miles of buildings, counting both sides of the streets. When the new subways are in operation the elevated system will have outliyed its usefulness, as the old omni- buses outlived their usefulness when the modern street car lines came into ex- istence.

One of the moves of the Ware housemen's association. meeting in Washington this week, will appeal 10 every one who has to face the problem of the increasing cost of foodstuffs without a corresponding increase of salary. They have petitioned the gov ernment for federal cold storage plant. This will necessitate an -apRrO- prfation of S1.OO0,O00 and the plan may or may not be well worked out. But the idea Is to throw the govern ment in between the people and the food trust which uses the cold storage plant to enhance prices. Practically every article of human food Is now subjected to the cold storage method of preservation and it is the ability to keep anything from eggs to beefsteak for a year without spelling that en- ables the beef trust, which handles a great many things besides beef. to die tate prices both to the producer and the consumer. II is most likely that the government cold storage idea will never come to anything but ft is a writhing of the worm in an effort 10 turn. Possibly by the time the coun- try is reduced to meat once a week as a luxury there will some better idea than the government cold storage plant turn up and stand better show of passing.

Housekeeper's Faithfulness to Mis- tress Delays Wedding
 Many Years.

A romantic wedding, which for many years had been delayed, owing to a woman's promise, took place at Sowerby near Thirsk in the North Riding of Yorkshire recently.
 For nearly a quarter of century the bride had acted as conndante and housekeeper to a maiden lady who possessed considerable means. Many years ago the housekeeper met a gardener, and was wooed by him with success.
 But the housekeeper had promised her mistress to stay with her until she died, and so the love story be- came one of patient waiting.
 Three or four weeks ago the mis- tress died in her ninetieth year. leav. ing to her faithful housekeeper her house, plate and furniture. as we'll as s1,000 in money.

probably would sell more coal. not less. to the people of Canada than we now do. At the same time the railroads must foresee time when they will not be allowed to carry coal from Pennsylvania into New England at far lower rates than they charge to con sumers nearer the mines. The new regulation of railroad rates probably will put an end to that arrangement.
