A Glance Ahead.

Reading every day, in these prosper
Gus times, some account Of new bust
ness enterprise and expansion, and see
ing The westward and northward march
of the vast army Of newcomers and
the train of shifting Americans fol-
lowing, we are likely TO carry the I'm
preston that the country is filling rap
idly. This is true enough in a sense,
for million emigrants have been COM
ing every year of late, and the natural
increase Of the eighty-odd millions Of
inhabitants will soon run the popula-
ton above the hundred-million mark.
When we shall have reached this total,
the look back upon the handful of
people with which the country began
less than one hundred and twenty five
years ago, will seem the more striking.
But we will as yet scarcely have be-
gun to grow, if we are to assume that
some time in the distant future our
population will in any degree approach
the density Of Europe.
A writer in Cent per Cent for Sep
TENDER has figured out what this would
mean. Should the United States ulti-
mately reach the density now existing
in the United Kingdom, there would
be a population here Of Patio, 496.
Canada, with her 100000 people,
should one day have l,2SS,477 1855 on
this same basis.
We need not search for errors in the
calculation. It is an arbitrary method,
to figure land area as capable Of sup
porting any stated number Of people,
without allowing for differences Of soil
and climate and numerous other things,
and it may be that the calculation
could not stand crucial analysis. Sub
stantially, however, it will stand, and
the figures are wonderfully interesting
for the long train Of suggestion that
follows them.
What mind can measure the com,
MERGE Of the country hundred years
from now; what intellect try for an
approximation of the grand totals OF
fnance9 Who can say how our gov
eminent shall shape itself to meet the
great questions that will be born witt
increasing growth and power2
One thing is sure, we are as yet only
in our infancy. Right here in Mime
sofa there is room for thousands upor
thousands Of people. At present the
tendency is to reach out for the fur
Their west, but in time there will b.
reaction, and the solidifying process Of
settlement will begin. A mighty growth
that will give us business institutions
of magnitude not heretofore imagined
is before the country, and the north
west is ready for it's share OF it.

What Is Really Needed.

The reductions in premiums recently
made by an eastern insurance company
have been heralded as the opening gun
in a great insurance reform. But COM
pairing the old premiums with the now
it does not appear that this company
has done anything sensational. 1t has,
for example, reduced tho premium on a
$1,000 standard life policy at age 30
wears from $24.19 to $21.19. This is
not very severe reduction when one
considers that there are dozen first
class companies paying annual dlvl-
dends in which the standard life rate
would come to something less than 500
on the average. On ordinary life nom
participating contracts this company
makes a reduction Cat age 30) from.
$19.77 to 1855. But this contract is
practically term insurance which can be
purchased now from many high-class
companies for Sc or 81 less per thou
sand than it is offered here.
The reductions in premiums are not
so startling as to show that there has
been any serious robbery in the rates
before. OF course, everybody under
stands that the insurance companies
charge little more than they need to
carry on the business, and that this
overcharge belongs to the policy-holders.
What they are particularly interested
In is not that there shall be no over
charge at all, but that the surplus shall
be taken care Of and returned when the
company does not need it for safety.
The complaint today against insurance
companies is not SO much that they
charge living rates for doing the bust
ness, but that they waste the surplus
| left over and that they invest their
reserves in 2 per cent loans to trust
companies instead Of looking up sound
4 and. S per cent Investments which
would net the policy holders something.
| The problem before insurance com
panies now Is not SO much to catch the
public with bargain-counter premiums
as to restore the confidence Of the pub.

enterprise in sending Mr.. Chamber

The Riots in Japan.

4 While the riot situation in Japan may
not be so serious as to menace the rati-
fcation of the peace treaty, it has al
ready assumed proportions which must
make the thinking Japanese blush for
their country. The world has been
| taught to believe that the strong point
OF the Japanese people was poise and
/ self-control under all circumstances.
I The Japanese have given so. many adj
| m1rable instances of the truth Of this
assertion that to see them go to pieces
as they have under the disappointment
1 OF the peace terms makes their friends
thruout the world discouraged. They
fare acting just like Russians.
The attacks upon members Of the
9 government and the assault upon an
:. American citizen travelling in the
b country betray dissatisfaction with the
tipeace itself and with the part Amer
Plea had in bringing it about. There
= is only one point upon which the JAP
il anese can have any grievance against

to The mob in Toxic takes just the oppo-
fasite ground. It is bowling for the
nmoney there is in war, regardless Of the
slaughter Of men, the orphaning of
children and the Gripping of the flower
Of the male population Of the empire.
Such an attitude in the face of an hon.
b6rable peace is disgraceful. The amaz,
hdng thing is that the Japanese people
lasven the lower classes, do not see it.

A NAME THAT ~FITS.-Noah Lott,
IAN ex-relative of Noah Webster" has
written The Silly SycIopedia. Seldom has
the author of a great work chosen a name
so aptly. Here are a few samples:
A Flat-A people COOP. Seven and a
landlord, with hot and cold gas and running
servants. A fat is the poor relation of an
apartment.
Football-A system Of manslaughter very fash
1onable with boys. From the Latin words "foot-
ibus," meaning ''put thej boots to him. and
'balloona.'' meaning ''up in the air, or who
hit me, with a public building body of
college students surrounded by ambulances.
There are worse things than the above
in the book, but we came upon none
better. But the book IS not all made up
of "daffynishuns.'' There are 'epigrams,
or what purport to be, and other things
purely for hilarious purposes" 1t needs
to be studied to be appreciated.

LIFE's SPAN

The period Of life is brief
IT Is the red Of the red rose leaf,
II is the gold of the sunset sky,
IT is the fight Of bird on high;
But one may fill the space
With such an infinite grace
That the red will tinge all time,
And the gold thru the ages shine,
And the bird fly swift and straight
To the portals of Gods own gate.

OLD PICTURE in A NEW LIGHT

the picture of the man whose face is
marked by cold and hard lines.
But the old picture has been ecnpsed
There is a new one now and all the world
is looking at it with admiration. 1t shows
a man Of kindly and expressive counte-
nance, who holds an olive branch In one
hand and bids warning men to make
peace. It is a pleasing picture to look
upon.

We have never had an exalted opinion
Of Roosevelt. His bark seemed worse
than his bite. But on this occasion he
has secured a notable victory, impossible
for any other statesman. He has brought
an end to the war In the far east. He
has accomplished what the best OBJ
servers, the newspaper men at Ports
mouth regarded as impossible. He
butted In and with his great resourceful-
ness he has brought about peace. All
honor to Theodore Roosevelt.

Gle in the July number of The Critic,
which casts doubt upon the death of
Oscar Wilde and intimates that he still
lives and will come again, says:
He will not come again. 1t is the old myth,

not be paid for this ''No,'' said the patient,
