The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-06-24
SOME PREprcT1oNs.

Another prophet of dire things to
come to humanity has arisen in the
person of a college professor-he must
hail from Chicago-who announces
that within one hundred years the pop
ulation OF the United States will
amount to one and a half billions OF
human beings. That, II our arith,ae-
tic is on straight. viii be between four
ana i've hundred population for each
square mile of our great territory. All
VIII admit, we think. that this will be
planting them pretty thickly, but as a
very large proportion of them will be
huddled in the towns and cities 1t will
not be quite SO hard on the raral
jewellers. For all that. when we take
into consideration the fact that much
Of the territory of the United States
cannot be inhabited 1t is plain that
when this professors prediction is
verified. If It ever is, people will be
getting In the way of each other.
There are two comforting reflections
in connection with the prophecy. One
iss that the Stipulation Of the United
States win not increase as fast as he
calculates. There are and always have
been many causes to retard increase of
population. It is easy enough to take
pencil and paper and figure out just
how many people there would be on
earth In a given time IL the increase
kept pace with the calculations. That
is a sort Of Mulberry Sellers rec:ea-
tion that doesn't always pan out as ex-
pected. and 1t might be SO In this case.
Another consolation for the present
jewellers on earth is that none of us
VIII be here to witness the fulhllment
of his dire prophecy il 1t should come
true. The present generation will cash
in, so to speak, long before a century
has passed. so that none but remote
posterity Will be mere to suffer Come
to think Of it. what has posterIty done
to this prophet of evil that he should
predict bad things about It? The
earth jewellers Of hundred years
hence have not Injured him. that we
are aware of, and ne shouldn't be ex-
erting himself In advance to make
them feel worse than they would 9TH
erwise do. In our judgment he's a
fraud.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-06-24
THE WORST YET.

The mania for paternal legislation
goes laundering along. growing more
undemocratic and more absurd at each
new law. One extreme leads to
greater. and ordinary human intelli-
gence is not able to suggest a stopping
place. So far as we have taken no.
tice the State of Washington has call
ed the turn by enacting a law making
the smoking of cigarettes a crime,
whether the offender be old or young,
male or female. Already a number of
men have been arrested and prose-
cuted.
Could legislation go much further
than this in the way of abridging the
personal rights and liberties of tic
citizen" We suppose there is no doubt
on the decision of the medical men that
smoking cigarettes is hurtful to boys,
and law that will protect the chill
dren is all well enough, but what more
right has the law to punish a man
for smoking one than to punish him
LUZ S4IiohlHB pipe OF cigar! II may
be that excessive smoking OF the lit
tie things may be Injurious to some
men. and perfectly harmless to others.
The same can be said of almost any
thing we eat, drink or otherwise enjoy,
but the lawmakers do not for that
reason make It crime for men to
choose for themselves
"In all probability" remarks TIE
Hartford Times. 1.-The new Washington
statute which puts criminal brand
on anybody who puffs a cigarette in
the State will soon become a deud
letter. The history of most laws which
seek to operate as conservator over tie
personal morals and social customs of
communities Is failure. The legisla-
ton may be spasmodically enforced in
one place or another. and may cause
temporary embarrassment and humlli-
alton to particular persons, but in the
long run II isn't likely to be worth the
white paper 1t Is written on.
