Census Expectations.

A lot Of people in Omaha are in
dulging in wild dreams as to what
population the coming census will
credit Omaha Omaha has unques-
tionably enjoyed a substantial and
gratifying growth since the last cen
sus enumeration, and will certainly
show up we'll in the forthcoming cen
sus by comparison. Omaha wants to
be accorded all the population 1t pos
sesses, but it does not want to be the
victim again Of senseless padding, as
1t was in the census of 1890. The 1890
census takers marked Omaha up to
100000, speculating on futures and
discounting what 1t was hoped the
census ten years later would make
good. The 1900 census, however, cut
us down to 102,555, with the conse-
querce that to all not familiar with
the facts, It looked as IL Omaha had
actually suffered a shrinkage of 80
per cent, when every one knows that
Omaha has steadily grown and that
thero were more people here in 1900
than ever before.
While it is not of general informa-
tion, the census bureau few years
ago made a correction of the 1890
figure for Omaha, in order to have a
proper basis for comparison and for
per capita computation by taking the
figures for 1880 and 1900 to be cor
rect and securing mean between
them on the assumption that the rate
of population growth during that time
had been really uniform. The correct
figure for 1890 population was thus
estimated to be 66,5S6, which in all
probability is very near the mark. The
census bureau has made a similar
computation of estimated population
for subsequent years, the last being
for the year 1905, listing Omaha with
population of 12O,565.
Another point to be borne in mind
in connection with the coming census
is that Omaha is one of the few cities
Of it's class whose territorial limits
have remained unchanged for two
decades. The geographical boundaries
of Omaha are the same now that they
were in 1890, whereas large number
Of cities took in new territory ten
years ago, and quite a few will have
taken in new territory since then.
Whatever population Omaha shows up
will be the actual and natural incre-
ment and not due to any wholesale
annexation, much as we would have
been willing to assimilate some Of our
adjacent suburbs. Omaha cannot be
represented in the census as the pop
ulation center which it really is, be-
cause all the people who do business
here and make up the community are
not living within the city limits.
Without waiting for the census
takers, however, it is safe to assert
that Omaha has added more people to
its population in the last ten years
than in any previous ten-year period
and ought this time to pass, in fact,
the padded fiction with which we were
inflicted twenty years ago.

Tariff Peace with Canada.

The announcement comes from
Washington to a well-pleased public
that tarif troubles with Canada are
not to be. Both the Dominion gov
ernment and our own have preferred
to avoid a clash of this kind, for the
maximum rate OF the Payne tariff
would work hardship for Canada and
retaliation on the part of Canada
would work a hardship for the people
of the United States. The time limit
for the settlement was April 1, and
unless the settlement had been ef-
fected before that date the pinch"
rate would have gone into effect for a
time at least.
Neither people and neither govern
ment wanted the maximum tariff and
the difficulty seemed only a matter of
understanding the situation properly.
Yet the commission sent to ottawa did
not make much progress and returned
to Washington with unsatisfactory re-
suits. Canada was apparently OBJ
durate and refused to come to any
agreement, and It was not until Presi-
dent Taft took up the negotiations
that conditions began to look brighter.
As result of his personal attention
an agreement has been reached and
commercial strife between the two
countries has been successfully
avoided.
This adjustment Of the tariff diff
ferences is another triumph for Presi-
dent Taft. His farseeing judgment
smoothed out difficulties when other
individuals failed, and. further, when
It appeared chat a breach was inevi-
table. Canada and the United States
are separated only by an imaginary
line, recognized on maps and by the
officials Of the two governments. At
the same time pleasant and profitable
trade relations had developed which
the two countries could not we'll af-
ford to sacrifice to any such strife as
threatened for several weeks.
Canada is growing with wonderful
rapidity. Great reaches of territory
to the north and west are being
opened up to agriculture by immi.
grants schooled on American farms
With growing country, increasing
rapidly in wealth, and peopled with
our own relatives to deal with, the
United States could we'll afford to use
all the diplomacy at command to
maintain mutually satisfactory com.
mercial and industrial intercourse.

sir Ernest II Shnnkeltnn.

The impression given the banquet
ers in New York City recently by the
appearance, side by side, of two re
nowned. polar explorers whose re-
search and expeditions have taken
them to the opposite ends of the
earth will not soon be forgotten. Com
mander Robert e. Peary, whose untir
ing efforts landed him at the most
northerly point ON the globe, an
American, introduced to the banquet
ers Sir Ernest H. Shackelton, an Eng
lishman, who has penetrated into the
Antarctic zone to within ninety-seEer
miles of the most southerly point.
Sir Ernest on his return from hii
southern expedition Immediately lait
his records, data and diary before
English scientists, and after salts
factory inspection had been made he
Immediately became the undisputeC
hero of the nation. He plans to con
tinue his exploration in the south and
hopes this time to be able to reacl
the goal of his ambition. He is no
discouraged by the incompleteness o.
his former attempt and expects t.
profit by previous mistakes and mis-
calculations,
This next expedition will be post
poned for several months. Captain
Scott is to sail for the south on a sim
liar expedition in the near future anC
Sir Ernest does not wish to rival hi
efforts. But when sufficient funds ar
available for the purpose he will coas
along the South Indian ocean for tn,
further scientific exploration o
"Antarctica," in order to ascertain
some of the possibilities of that hug
continent. Later he will turn south
ward directly toward the pole.
BY his behavior Sir Ernest Shackel
ton has commanded universal admira
ton and his attitude toward HIS com
petitors for south polar honors 1
chivalrio and generous. He is al
Anglo-Saxon type and has the dogge,
determination needed to attain sue
cess In this gigantic undertaking. l
is no easy task to penetrate into
frozen zone for even a short distance
and Sir Ernest not only deserve
honor for what he has done, but dc
serves to have his next polar exped!
ton crowned with success.

aunited States Model for NATIONS. .

Americans very properly feel a
sense of satisfaction over the remark
recently made by King Frederick of
Denmark to the American minister,
Mr.. Egan-"The United States Is a
model for all nations" Minister Egan
and his family were recently at home
on a visit and the statement was made
by his majesty during an audience
given Mr.. Egan Immediately following
his return to the Danish capital.
King Frederick has for some time
taken lively interest in American af-
fairs and has made occasional inquiry
regarding special conditions which
prevail here. Many Danes now live
in America, having come here to settle
and to become citizens. They send
back glowing accounts of prosperous
conditions and have influenced the
adoption in Denmark Of our most mod.
ern methods of industry and much OF
our machinery. Our commerce, ouI
inventions and our spirit OF hustle and
move which have been in evidence In
all parts of the globe are we'll known
and admired there, and King Freder
ick, appreciating their value, pays the
United States great compliment.
While our country may be a model
for all nations, there are still many
things we can learn from the steady
and reliable old nations of Europe
and Denmark is by no means the least
of these. Americans can learn much
from the Danes in the cultivation Of
the soil so as to make it all valuable
and in keeping agricultural pursuits
popular with the people. Denmark ir
strictly an agricultural nation and in
that respect is a good deal OF a mode
in itself. We Americans can only say
in return that we are glad to be Of
service TO other peoples and we shall
feel free to draw upon their experience
for inspiration and guidance.
