gradually until now it is thirty seven.
Pennsylvania's present number of
| thrty-two is the largest ever enjoyed
by that state. From the first census to
! the present, Rhode Island, with her two
capitals and double name, has been
uniformly represented by two con-
gressmen. Delaware had two members
during the decade of 1S10-1S20, but
| otherwise has had but two in the house
at any time
House Has Grown.
The first apportionment made by the
constitution itself provided for one
member TO every $4,000 inhabitants
with the result that at its first session
the house contained only ffty-five
inemb ers. The census OF 1870 resulted
in an increase to 105 with $4,000 as the
basis of representation. From that
time forth with one exception the in
crease both in representation and ratio
has been steady, as follows 1900. 141
members with a ratio of $4,000; 1910,

House Opposed to Increase.
The old leaders of the house are
anxious to keep the size of the house
down and few of them will admit the
possibility of an enlargement to beyond
400 or 40 at the utmost.
The question of the disfranchse-
ment Of the negro vote in the southern
states will receive attention in connec-
ton with the question of apportion-
ment The house is even now on rec
ord in favor of an inquiry into this
subject. Under the rules OF the house,
where debate is limited, measure
similar to the Crumpacker bill of last
congress might be passed without af
fording the minority much opportunity
TO oppose or obstruct. But in the sem
ate where there is no cloture, the
minority would he strong enough TO
prevent the passage Of any obnoxious
measure unless deferred by the unwrit-
ten rule which permits each house 10
dispose of its own affairs in its own
way

! Washington, Sept. 20.-One of the
first questions with which the APP
preaching session of congress will be
called upon to gra pple will be to deter
mine when the next apportionment of
members of the house of representa-
tives under the recent census shall be
made.
II is actually required by the con-
stitution that rea pportionment shall
follow each decennial enumeration of
the people. and accordingly a redistri-
button of seats in the house member
ship has taken place hitherto soon af-
ter the conclusion Of each census.
Up 10 1890. the reappor,ionment was
uniformly postpone ed until the first ses
sion of the congress succeeding the
enumeration but after the eleventh
census a change was made and the APP
, portionmert bills for the eleventh and
twelfth census We're brought in and
passed in each case during the short
session OF the current congress i'm
mediately following the census. It will
rest with the approaching session to
determine whether it shall follow the
old or the new precedent. Politics may
determine the choice.
Election May Hurry Work.
Before the time for the meeting of
congress the result Of the November
elections viii have become known. IF
the democrats should come into control

TEDDY" ON DISARMAMENT

Something should be done as soon as possible to check the growth of armaments, especially naval arma- ments, by international agreement No one power could or should act by itself; for it Is eminently unde- sirable, from the standpoint of the peace of righteousness, that a pow CT which really does believe in peace should place itself at the mercy of some rival which may at bottom have no such belief and no intention of acting on it.
 But, granted sincerity of purpose. the great powers of the world should find no insurmountable difficulty in reaching an agreement which would put stop to the present costly and growing eXtrayagance of expenditure on naval armaments. An agreement merely 10 limit the size of ships would have been very useful a few years ago, and would still be of use; but the agreement should go much further
 Finally, it would be a master stroke if those great powers honest ly bent on peace would form a league of peace, not only to keep the peace among themselves but to prevent, by force, if necessary, it's being broken by others. The supreme diff fculty in connection with develop ing the peace work of The Hague arises from the lack of any execu- tive power-of any police to enforce the decrees of the court.
 In any community of any size the
The Alaska citizen., 1910-07-30

authority of the courts rests upon actual or potential force; on the ex- istence of a police, or on the knowl- edge that the decrees of judicial and legislative bodies are put into eff feet. In new and wild communities where there is violence an honest man must protect himself; and until other means of securing his safety are devised it is both foolish and wicked to persuade him to surrend- CT his arms while the men who are dangerous to the community retain theirs. He should not renounce the right to protect himself by his own efforts until the community is so or ganized that it can effectively relieve the individual of the duty of putting doS Il violence.
 Force Behind Peace.
 So it is with nations. Each nation
The Alaska citizen., 1910-07-30

must be well prepared to defend it- self until the establishment of some form of international police power, competent and willing to prevent vio- lence as between nations. As things are now, such power to command peace throughout the world could best be assured by some COmbina uon between those great nations which sincerely desire peace and have no thought themselves of com hitting aggressions.
 The combination might at first be only to secure peace within certain definite limits and certain definite conditions; but the ruler or states man who should bring about such combination would have earned his place in history for all time and his title to the gratitude of all man kind.

 | MONTREAL-In five years time | the Province of Saskatchewan will 1 be producing more wheat than Tex as. and in 15 years this single Can

 wheat than the whole of the United States To the south the corn belt l is steadily encroaching upon the
 wheat belt. which, as result, is
 being forced further north. In a few years the United States must i'm port wheat from Canada if the big
 mills of Minneapolis are to be kept
 running The railways want the i long haul, but if a considerable
 quantity of Canadian grain should
 go into Minnesota the Western
 farmers would get good prices and
 would have more money to spend for general mercandise and manu- factures which the railways would carry

 they brought at least S425, ,461 900 in to this country. Of the 95,371 per sons who left the United States last year for the Canadian West, 57,576 were American-born and 37,795 aliens who had contemplated permanent
