KENTUCKY's GROWTH.

The five-year census just taken in
New Jersey indicates very plainly
that the regular census of 1910 will
move that state up several notches,
says the Louisville Herald. 1t will
beat North Carolina and Tennessee
and may give Kentucky itself close
run. North Carolina had in 1909 a
population of 1883. 500. and Tonnes
see 2,020.616, while kentucky had
2.167,174. New Jersey. which had
in 1900 a population of 1,sSS.66s,
has now 2,137,766 New Jersey is
one of the old states. II had 277, 426
people in 1910, and in 1850 had but
1885. Kentucky in 1920 had
564,235, and in 1850 had grown to
9S2,4O5. In 1860 Kentucky had in
creased to 1.155.6S4, while New Jer-
sey had in that year 100000. In the
forty years from 1860 to 1900. the
latter state had more than doubled
its population while Kentucky did
not quite double hers. New Jersey
has an area of 1915 square miles on
ly: Kentucky, 10000. Populated in
proportion to New Jersey. Kentucky
ought to have from 12,000,O00 to
100000 people.
In this connection it Is interesting
to note that Kentucky in the ten
years from 1890 to 1900 trebled. in
he next dscade nearly doubled her
numbers, and in the decade from
1910 to 1920 leaped from 406,51l to
564.135 The development Of Ken
.uclxy's mineral and agricultural re-
sources ought TO do for this state
what like development has done for
Illinois. That state entered the
Union with a population of 55,f 90
ITS present population Il fdiiy 5000
600; or in round numbers, almost
an hundred-fold increase. Kentucky
entered the union with $4,000. Put
ting Kentucky's present population
at 2,500,000, our increase has been
more than thirtyfold

1t is desired to administer such re-
buke to the democratic politicians on
the constitutional amendment ques-
tion that they will not forget in a
long time. Every voter, irrespective
of politics, should go TO the polls and
vote against that amendment If ho
votes for nothing else. II is an Insult
TO the manhood of Kentucky to ask
voters to go back to this dangerou
and obsolete form of voting. simply
to benefit the politicians. The same
men who are urging this viva voce
system of voting solely on the argl-
ment that the secret ballot makes
fraud possible, are the ones who have
been responsible for most of the
fraud. No fraud is possible among
honest men. Those who are now
talking about fraud don't, as rule,
care how much fraud IS committed
so they do the committing. Don't
fail to vote mo" to the constitution

The administration occasionally

claim, in the following words. which
are applicable here as well as there,

TO its officials:

ing, that II is increasing in wealth
and Importance. and that this is at
