WONDERFUL GROWTH
OF THE SOUTHWEST
Census Figures So Far as Re-
ceiyed Are Testimonials
of Progress.
Y Leased Wire to The Tribune.

BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-The amaz-
ing growth in the southwest is becom-
ing one of the sensations of the 1915
census. The evidence of expansion III
the west and northwest has boen dis
counted by frequent newspaper stories
making the fact known.
The figures for Nucces county, Tex,
complete the returns from fifty coun-
tics IN the Lone Star state. The coun'
ties show 4 population of Sl7,4I5 in
1910, as against 552 ,906 in 1900, II gain
tanned throughout Texas will moan 4
gain of 1.403, 500 people III the state,
or a total population of almost 4,500,-
600.
For Nueccs county the census bureau
reported q population of q ,965 In 1910,
as against l0,A34 ten years ago, an IN
crease of 40 per cent
From Several States.
Returns from other states are scat
tering. Without exception, the figures
from Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Tennessee. Georgia and Alabama record
startling increases.
On the present basis of representa-
tlon IN congress- q member TO every
loJ 900 of the country's population, the
returns from forty-one counties entitle
Toxas to another member in the house
of representatives If tho ratio Of in
crease is maintained. Texas will get
seven additional members in tho house
and have a delegation consisting Of
twenty-threc.
The figures from Oklahoma presage a
hko advance IN Legislative representa-
ton. For this reason talk of renew
ing the northern demands for limiting
southern representation in congress is
becoming general again. The northern
Republicans are sure that another cf-
fort Will be made TO force bill limit
ing representation in the house from
southern states. A bitter sectional
fight would be sure to follow,

NEW ORDINANCE
IS INSUFFICIENT
This Is Opinion of Many Citizens
With Regard to Proposed
Vehicle Law.
COUNCIL SHOULD MAKE
MORE BINDING PROVISIONS
Proposed Law Does Not Rcgu-
late Vehicular Traffic as It
Should Be Controlled.

"The automobile ordinance passed
by the city council rs committee OF
the whole Thursday night is all right
go far as it goes said citizen Fri
day, who is interested in the proper
regulation OF vehicular traffic in Salt
Lake. "but it does not go far enough
It does not reach the kernel in the
nut as Joseph r. expresses it.
"No provision is made in tho new
ordinance for the limitation of speed
within the city limits, aud especially
within the business districts. No pro-
vision is made for the regulation of
traffic at the intersections of The
busiest thoroughfares in the city. No
attempt is made 10 control the au-
toist. the cyclist, the delivery boy with
his wagon. the MESSENGER boy, or any
of the real menaces which daily threat
en- life and limb, The real danger still
exists so far as the provisions Of the
proposed ordinance are concerned.
What People Want.
"sWhat the people really want is pro-
lection from the onslaught of the man
AT the wheel whether it he auto, BIZ
uvcle, motorcycle. delivery wagon-no
matter what kind of vehicle. He
should be restricted in speed; certain
provision should be made in the ordl-
nance 10 govern him in crossing the
intersections Of streets; this more
especially in the business sec
ton of the city; and this law made
it should be rigidly enforced Surely
Salt Lake City has already paid suf-
fcient sacrifice in human life to the
inhumanity of the man in the vehicle
10 demand some remedy from those who
have the power to give it.
Justifiable Homicide,
''Twcnty. thirty and forty miles an
hour is too high a speed for any vchi-
Gle TO pass along the streets Of Salt
Lake City. But Il few days ago a
boy was run over by an auto. The
statement was made and published that
the machine WIS running anywhere
from Twenty-Five 10 thirty miles an
hour That statement has not been
denied. 1T was made by witnesses.
But what does this proposed ordinance
provide for a cessation of this danger
ous speeding? Nothing. 4 public may
be patient and long suffering, but there
will come time when 1T will rise up
in righteous wrath and wreak vengeance
upon the violators of the law, and
q petty jury will be supported by the
public in it's verdict of Justifiable hom
icide III the event that continued lgnor-
ing Of the rights of the common people

against the action of the state depart
mcnt Of tho United States in refusing
to recognize as binding under interna-
tional law the order of DR., Madri2,
provisional president Of Nicaragua,

Formal Statement.
The statement in part says:
King llaakop, having recognized
President Madriz as the do jure as well
as de facto government Of Nicaragua,
az all other powers with tho exception
of tho United States, having diplomatic
relations with Nicaragua have done, it
was eminently proper for him to recog-
nlzo the decree closing the port of Blue
fields. This action was based upon a
formal protest that vessels flying the
Norwegian flag had committed hostile
acts toward a friendly government,
thereby incurring liability to seizure
''1t should be beneath the dignity
of tho state department to quibble
over the character of the gunboat Venus
which was publicly purchased in the
United States for the tituIar govern
mont of Nicaragua. If she is operating
unlawfully, she may be seized as n
pirate. II must be presumed that she
is operating entirely within the law

victuals, because, he says, money is
better and goes further-yea, all the
way to Salt Lake.
We get it from the inside that new
mining company will be launched in q
few days. The company's properties
will, of course, be situated in Mexico.
In addition to valuable mining ground,
which produced millions upon millions In
the days of the Spanlards, the company
will also run a rubber plantation, q
banana grove, a saw mill and a town
site, Some Of the members of the higher
priesthood will head the directorate and
manage the financial affairs of the COM
pany. Brother Bunk and other local
and famous for "the laying on of
hands" will help the company float
it's shares. Several lots in the townsite
have been sold, and good business in
the sale of shares is expected,
Another thing is causing some talk
down here. That department Of the
hierarchy which one Of your irreverent
correspondents calls the Ramhood is
quite n number of young women have
packed up and gone to Mexico Not
much wonder would have resulted had
there not been suspicious circumstances
and unpleasant rumOrs attending nearly
all of these departures. The gentleman
involved in each case is invariably the
head Of family, Of high standing in
the church, and a fnvorite of the
hierarchy. But, hush, Brother Bunk
tells us to attend to our own business.
1t IS sign of incipient apostasy TO talk
about the manifesto down here The
constitutional expounder of the propa~
ganda of polygamy makes a nice point
on the fact that polygamY is not pro-
hibited by the laws of Mexico The
manifesto goes no further than to ad-
wise the saints to obey the laws of the
co-there you are. How long o Lord,
how long must we be tithed and taxed
and grated upon to float polygamy
plantations, polygamy towns, polygamy
mining companies, .polygamy farms and
Dolygamy corporations in MeXlco2 Are
all these companies formed and hoated
to give Jobs to new polygamists. or does
all wondering. But hush, this might
hurt the business of Brother Bunk.
The dry weather and hot winds have
injured crops. and it is feared that
the range will be IN poor condition for
standing the gloomy outlook, Brother
Bunk is very optimistic. He says that
those who pay full tithing, give to the
poor, contribute to missions. donate to
the wards, and give to the church, will
not miss the money, but Will be left
richer than ever. The same argument
was used to recruit Enoch. 1t is hard
to reconcile this reckoning with modern
arithmetic, but Brother Bunk is persuad-
ing some to embrace his doctrine. Very
| truly yours, AN ELDER.

A great crusade for baptism of dead
ancestors is being launched in these
parts. Any man who would let his
poor, old ancestors sneeZe and sniffle
and dance around in hot sulphur fumes
for all eternity Just to save a few dol
be wrong with Brother Bunk g figures.
Each man has two parents, four grand
parents, eight great grandparents, and
so on A few generations back each
man has so many ancestors that Rookie
feller himself cannot put up bail for
them all. Anyway, Brother Bunk is
moved to feel and counsel that them
ancestors be saved, 1t takes money
to save them. The ancestors all seem
to be broke, Brother Bunk looks TO the
seed to put up the cash.
OF late years there has been a notice
able change around here in the char
acter of pulpit discourses, a deteriora~
ton, If such a thing be possible. A
while back we used to hear, once in a
while, a discourse that was worth listen
ing to, but now we hear nothing but
the talk of Brother Bunk, who breaches
conservation, tithIng, and the beauties
of poverty on Sundays, and talks about
riches, profits and ground floor invest
ments on week days. In other words,
he spends Sunday telling us TO give to
the church and make ourselves poor, and
the other six days OF the week he coun-
sells us to buy his ground floor stocks
and get rich. But all of us near-Mor-
mons know that one is as good as the
other.
We have few poor down here, but
II costs n pretty penny to keep them.
Besides all the tithing we pay for the
poor we have to make numerous other
| donations. The appetite of the poor is
hard TO appease. When not "Iaying on
hands, or selling shares in the banana
plantation, or counselling baptism for
the dead, or casting out devils, or labor
| ing with dead branches. Brother Bunk
is collecting money for the poor. He
does not care about old clothes, boots
shoes, Tickety furniture or leftover
