. Sensation-Presage Political
Power and Importance-Probabl
Fight Ahead Between Sections.

Washington, Special-The amaz
ing growth in the South and South
west already is becoming the sensa-
tion of the 1910 census.
Fifty-one counties in Texas show
a population of STATS in 1910, as
compared with 552,9O6 in 1900,
gain Of 46 per cent.
This percentage maintained
throughout Texas will mean a gain
Of 1,403,606 people in the State, or
a total population of almost 4y500,-
900.
For Nueces county the Census Bu-
reau reported a population Of 1885
in 1910, as against 10,434 ten years
ago, an increase of ITO per cent.
Knox county showed a $40 per
cent advance, and Tom Green county
close to 400 per cent.
Returns from other States are
scattering. Without exception, the
figures from Oklahoma and from the
"Old South h"-Louisiana, Mississippi
Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama
record startling increases.
On the present basis of represen.
tation in Congress, member to every
$4,000 of the country's population
the returns from only forty-one coun-
ties entitle Texas to another member
of the House. If the ratio Of increase
is maintained, Texas will get seven
additional members, and have a dele
CATION consisting of twenty-three.
The scattering figures from other
parts Of the South and Southwest,
most notably Oklahoma, presage a
like advance in political power and
Importance.
For this reason, talk of renewing
the Northern demand for limiting
Southern representation is becoming
general. The Northern Republicans
are practically sure to make another
effort to pass force bill, under which
representation would be based upon
the vote cast instead of upon the
census returns.
A bitter. sectional fight is sure to
follow.

one inches in height, in the mount
aims Of Dutch New Guinea. The "li.-

are, are one of the most widely dis

them in the equatorial forests of
Africa. They were known in East
Africa before his day. They persist
in the Phillip. ss, and now they are
noted in Papua. A shy people they
are everywhere, hiding in the depths
OF forests, whose shades may have
something to do with their stunted
stature. Doubtless there are other
groups Of them yet to be discovered
