In the nine years from 1900 to
1908 the proportion or the urban
population Of the United States to
the whole number of inhabitants In
creased more than 20 per cent, as

said to a Telegram representative yes
terday that he had been doing bust
ness In Greensboro for seventeen
years arid he was buster now than
at any previous time. This would
seem to indicate that Greensboro has
begun building again. At the sanlu
time, town. in order to grow as 1t
should, has to do more than build
houses. 1t has to devise means OF
keeping the people at work. Green's

whiskey Question In Congress.


According to one of the stories that
Is quietly going the rounds in Wash
ington and elsewhere. the change in
the method of appointing the COM
mittee on rules In the house Of repre-
Eentafiyea, and the elimination OF
Speaker Cannon from the commit
tee. was due to the influence or the
prohibition movement. For some
years the prohibitionists have been
holding Cannon responsible for the
failure to secure legislation to regu-
late the liquor traffic In the country
at large and to establish prohibition
In the national capital. Members OF
congress have been frequently urgeu,
through floods of petitions and other
wise, to use every possible influence
that they could legitimately use to
bring this question before the nouss.
but this could not be done: It Is said,
SO long as Cannon headed the rules
