PROBLEM IF HIGH
POPULATION
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler
Sees Grave Crisis for
the United States.

New York, Dec. 15.-Dr. Nicholas
Murray Butler, president of Colum-
bia University, analyzing the census
figures recently given out at Wash
ington, sees a grave crisis approach
ing for this country.
These figures" he says, take us
out of the class of Germany, Great
Britain and France and put us in the
class of Russia, India and China
nations which we have always look
ed down on, but whose problems now
are ours.
we must face the problems now
Of nation with huge population,
which is overcrowding the land avail
able for tillage. The day has gone
by when an American can waste every
day what would support a family
in France. To stop this is called con-
servation of natural resources, but
that is only part of it. The chief
thing is to stop extravaganza ana
waste and begin to live with more
intensive application.
"A man can 70 longer waste one
farm and then go to another state
and live on another farm. We must
stop living on our capital. and, with
other adult people, live on our in
come.
The pressure on our tillable land
will force us eventually to look to
foreign nations for the things we
can not supply ourselves.
do you realize that Iowa has gone
back in the last ten years; that Ohio
has stood STILL and that Illinois, in
spite of Chicago's aid has only gain
ed IA per cent? The notion that we
can live on our capital has got to
stop. We have to remember that
We have to live on our income. The
country must somehow restore the
cost of living to normal plane; 1t
must restore the national happiness
and the stability of our govern
ment."

HUNDREDS GATHERING
WALLA WALLA CROP

Walla Walla, Wash, Aug 13.-
Hundreds of men, women, boys and
girls are now employed in the fruit
packing establishments of the valley
and from now on until the apple crop
| is disposed of there will be employ
ment for all who desire it. The or
chards are filled with pickers, and the
work of harvesting the fruit is going
ahead rapidly.
Thousands of dollars will be paid
out in wages before the crop Is TAX
en- care of, and for the first time prob
ably in the history of the valley the
money paid out will exceed that Of
wages in the harvest fields.
Orchardists Prefer Girls.
Girls are much preferred by the or
chardists of the valley for packing the
fruit, their work being much neater,
better and faster than that of the men.
At this time most Of the men who are
| looking for work are employed in the
harvest fields, but as soon as this
work is done there will be general
rush to the orchards.
Prunes are the center of attraction
just now, and hundreds of tons of this
fruit is being prepared for shipment.
The cars of fruit eastbound are being
sent out regularly now, and the ship
ments are much larger than ever be-
fore in the fruit growing history of
the valley.
Results Rrom Packing School.
Apple growers are expecting great
results from the apple packing school
that was held here last winter, and
they believe that their fruit will be
much better prepared for shipment
this year than ever before as result
of the instructions given.
Not only did the actual operators
who work in the packing houses learn
the art of packing, but the owners Of
orchards themselves took the lessons,
and are much better prepared than
ever before, to supervise their pack
| ing.
There has been as yet little diff
Guilty In getting help to take care Of
the fruit, hut orchardists say that
hundreds of helpers could be put into
service right now.

The almost insuperable difficulty
IN the adjustment of the matter In or
der to put it on fair and equitable
oasis, is quite apparent. Under the
present rule the national committee
makes up the roll of the delegates to
the national convention, There would
appear TO be no other method of pro.
'idlng for the initial organization of
the gathering. To this committee is
presented the contests. The commit
tee has not the power to change the
rule for the basis of representation in
the convention, as that can be done
only by the convention itself. In this
convention always sir the delegates
whose seats will be affected by any
change in the rule. 1t is apparent,
therefore, that we will continue to
have great difficulty in securing the
desired change through the national
convention itself.
In most of the states the nominees
Tor congress, as well as for state
state legislative and local Offices. are
ramed at primary elections In many
there are provisions OF law which put
into the hands of the voters the selec-
ton OF members OF the United States
senate. Even in the matter of the
election of president and vice presi-
dent, by common consent the electors
serve only 10 register the votes OF the
states which choose them.
Therefore. the enactment OF a fed

yeiopment in the progressive tend
