A TERRIBLE PICTURE

The president paints a terrible picture
of the demorilizing influence of ill-got-
ten wealth. He pictures the multilnil-
lionaire who has grown rich by immoral
means as "the least admirable of all our
citizens, u man of whom it has been said
that his face has grown hard and cruel,
while his body has grown soft; whose
son is fool and whose daughter Il for
eign princess; whose normal pleasures
are at best those of tasteless and ex-
travagant luxury, and whose real life
work is the accumulation and Use of
power in it's most sordid and least ele-
waiting form"
And who is this man whom the prcsi-
dent pictures? He is the beneficiary of
privilege, the child of favoritism in
government. And how does he secure
privilege and favoritism? By contribu-
ting campaign funds to the party which
will sell him the right to exploit the
country. Which party has been doing
this? The republican party, whose
leaders are now conspiring to prevent
any remedial legislation. These same
influences are seeking to dominate the
democratic party, but they find the
democratic masses incOrruptible and
therefore their effort is frustrated

When Will The World Be Full?

Roughly estimated at the present
time, there are 1000, 600, 600 people i'm
the whole world. This looks like an
immense number. but I'LL of them NAV
he placed i'll any county or any state in
this Union which has 400 square miles.
That would make 1,151, 1850, 900 feet,
and little figuring will show that all
of the people of the earth may stand in
such space and each one would have
practically seven square feet in which
to move. If iammcd together, us when
listening to an out .of.door speech, a
third of this space would accommodate
them. Manifcstly, the world is very far
from being crowded as yet. But the
population is increasing at the rate of
10 per cent, or 100 to every 1000 in
every ten years, and the interesting
question is when will It he as full as il
can hold2 Evidently the time is long
way off, but at the present rate of
growth it must inevitably come ut some
period in the future

Adam, the original Adam, is said to

started working at $40 day when the
angel drove him out of the Garden of
Eden, and if he had worked every day
from that time down to the present, in.
Guiding Sundays and holidays he would
have earned a little less than S22, 900, OOO
That would be but starter. IF, after
working the 5000 years he started in at
this time at the rate of $40 day, Sun.
days and holidays included, and if Eve
started in with him at the same wage
scale, it would take them both 1873, 1856
years yet to make up the balance of
that billion dollars.

70 keep down population which are not
now operating. Wars, which were
universal and continuous, were the
chief agent Of defamation. In the
savage state whole tribes were often
exterminated and the others kept thin
ned out to standstill. Then there
were great pestilences, famines, plaques,
contagious diseases, floods, earthquakes
and other natural causes which combin-
ed to prevent increase if, they did not
often cause diminution of population
during the course of century. For
the reasons the population of the world
made little or no advance in q thousand
years. But the conditions are different
now. Wars are much less frequent and
continue only for comparatively short
intervals. Science has practically abol-
ished pestilencs, and the worst of the
disease scourges, such as smallpox,
yellow fever, cholera and famines are
relieved by outside contributions and
loss of life from floods is greatly re-
,duced by preventive or precautionary
measures Thus it comes about that
in spite of deaths from various causes
the people of the world are increasing
at a regular ratio, which makes it
possible to calculate with reasonable
accuracy just when old Mother Earth
will be full up.
Those whose business it is to deal
with the statistics of the subject and
are skilled in all it's phases figure that
the world will be full when it has 1000
people to the square mile of its land
area. This would allow less than two
thirds of an acre to each person, and
this small space would have to suffice
for all purposes agriculture, mining,
roads, houses, parks, railways and
factories. 1t is somewhat startling to
learn that we are only 342 years fl ON
the time it will be necessary to hang
out the "standing-room-only" sign. In
other words, the year $3.50 will see a
full world. AS the rich and productive
will part fill up first, it may he that this
Mississippi valley in which we live may
be chuck full before the date set. At
any rate, it is evident that the United
States is going to be dreadfully crowded
before many more centuries roll
around.
When Indiana, with her 30, 91O square
miles of land area, gets her maximum
she will have 35,91O,OOO people, and
Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Kansas and other central western
states will be populated in equal proper
tisns according to their territory

maryland SAID TO
Be REPUBLICAN
Taft Carries the State by Very
Small Plurality.

Baltimore, Nov. 5.-The political
pendulum has swung once more and
OF the face of unoflcial returns Taft
has carried Maryland by 1876 votes.
Neithel side is content with these
figures, which. it must be said, are
not so satisfactory as they might be,
because of tue way in which returns
from a few of the precincts of Dor
chester and Worcester counties have
been sent in by correspondents. In
these precincts, sufficient easily to
change the result, the correspondents
have figured out the pluralities in
stead of sending in to their papers
the number of votes cast for each can
didate. Unquestionably, the official
count must be looked to for the actual
result, and neither side will feel O n
WINGED until the result OF that count is
made known. There must be taken
into consideration, too, the possibility
of a dividend electoral delegation, as
while figures are lacking it is known
that the votes for the several electors
have varied and this variation may
prove material.
The Maryland delegation in con
gress remains unchanged in political
complexion.

RESULT IN NEBRASKA.
Democrats Won a Sweeping Victory
in That State,

Lincoln, Neb., Nov, 5.-Returns on
the election in Nebraska which. while
far from complete, are sufficiently def
mite to confirm and emphasize the
first report that the Democrats have
made a sweeping victory il Nebraska.
While the pluralities foe he victorious
party ale not phenonSnally large,
they are complete, the state ticket and
candidates for congress in most in
stances running parallel with Bryan,
who was expected to lead the ticket
by several thousand. Complete re-
turns from a third of the counties and
scattering returns from most of the
remainder show that Bryan will have
a plurality Of not less than 10000 and
Shallenberger, Democratic candidate
for governor, and the balance of the
Democratic ticket will have hardly a
thousand less.
But the Democratic victory does not
stop there. At least four or probably
five Of Nehraska's six congressman
are Democratic. only n Republican,
Hinshaw, in the Fourth district, being
assured of escaping defeat. Nearly
complete returns from every county
in the Fourth district show that Hin
shaw has " n by nearly 700 votes, al
though his istrict gave Bryan a plu-
rality. There is a close fight in the
Fifth district between Norris, Rep,
and Ashton, Dem, with the chances
favoring the Democrat. Not enough
returns have been received from the
Sixth to base an estimate, but the
trend of the district is Democratic.
The greatest surprise of all IS the
overwhelming majority the Democrats
will have in the legislature.
