A. GEM FROM G. NJ.

George Meredith somewhere said
something about the impatient poll
tician, that applies so aptly to would
lie reformers. who abstract them
selves from the situation ana gaze
upon conditions, as IL they were
visitors from Mars, and totally I'M
concerned with them or not In the
least to blame. that we will attempt
to reproduce IL in substance. We do
not attempt accurate quotation, and
If We put the thought in better shape
than the original, O. NJ. is welcome
to the benefit on the same principle
that the possesSor of real estate is
entitled to all the fixtures, accretions
and permanent improvements made
or AIDED to the freehold. G.. NJ. said
something like thistle perceives a
bad adjustment OF affairs, and is cor
rect: he is honest and conceives his
honesty TO be a virtue; and that en-
titles him TO faith in himself: and
his faith in himself makes him re-
gard all who oppose his ideas as con-
nected with the evil he perceives in
existing conditions: so ne sounds a
call. and when none follow, he turns
prophet and condemns the whole
business. Isn't that a perfect like
ness of modern Socialist?

REAPPORTIONING THE HOUSE.

1t will be observed that although
the house has been enlarged from
1876 members in 1910 to 391 mem
bers in 1910, the number OF inhabi-
tants represented by each legislator
has increased enormously from as
90 TO 1s4,1S2. Today the house is
concededly too large for effective de-
bate. yet II Is most Improbable that
"a proposition for reducing its size
would meet with favor. The present
house tooy up the plan of reducing
the size of its legislative chamber,
but abandoned the scheme when II
was realized that house of more
than 400 members was almost GER
tain TO follow the present census.
Even II the house is kept at the 100
mark. the number OF Inhabitants rep
resented by each legislator will reach
the high figure of 100000, II is es-
timated.
The alternative evils are easily TO
be seen, but IL the country insists on
growing at its present swift rate. the
problem OF the house becomes more
serious with each decade. on the
one hand IT il considered undesirable
that a representative should stand
for too large a number OF constitu-
Ients On the other. there is no ques-
ton but that the house has lost its
old-time prestige by reason of its
growth to unwieldly proportions, IL
may be impraeticable for political
reasons to cut down the size of the
house; but II is to be hoped that
there will be a full and careful dis
cussion of the factors involved before
the new apportlonment is fixed

seriously, though not necessarily

one important duty which will
probably fall to the lot of the final
session Of the present congress is
the reapportionment Of representa-
tives in the house. The constitution
provides that representatives shall
be apportioned among the several
states according TO their respective
numbers" and the only restrictions
are that the number shall not ex-
ced one for every 10000. and that
each state shall have at least one
representative. The results of the
census. taken in the cur
rent year, will be in the hands OF
congress shortly, and the problem of
fixing a new ratio OF representation
must therefore soon be faced.
The ratio OF inhabitants to repre-
sentatives, together with the men,
bership of the hous h,eas progressed
as shown in the following table. In
cluded in the membership totals are
the representatives allotted to new
states admitted after the various APP
portionments had been made, as, for
example. five members from the new
state of Oklahoma:

BROKEN RESOLUTIONS

Under all the satirical humor of
broken New Years resolutions there
Is the tragedy of mistaken human
efforts. AS our old friend in Battle
Greek would say, there is a rea-
son." Most of our prayers are di-
rected TO a superior power to deliver
US from the consequences of our own
wilfullness, and most of our resolu-
tons are directed toward the relin-
quishment of some evil practice,
which has palled on us. Both are
negative and Indicative OF weakness
and cowardice.
The very resolution to cease a bad
habit directs attention to the habit
and its train of associated IDEAS, and
amounts TO a receptive mental state
for a suggestion to do the thing re-
solved against.
Don't negatively resolve not to do
certain things next year. Rather re-
solve to do that which will make
those things impossible. Fix your
aim on the accomplishment of
definite ends, which direct the atten-
ton away from those things you
wish TO avoid doing, and call out the
positive energies of the mind
The way 10 overcome bad habit
is to form good ones Incompatible
with II: to change the direction of
the attentin away from it, and culti-
vate new and strengthening associa-
lions
There is no particular credit due
for simply being negatively good
free from bad habits, honest and
clean morally. These virtues suffi-
GENTLY reward the possessor of them
on the spot. Resolve 10 be somebody
and do something that will make your
being in II worth while to the world.
Your struggle to carry out your reso-
luton will give YOU strength by the
exercise OF will, and your attention
directed to some wholesome object
win weaken the backward pun of old
associations
Think upon this, lay out definite
plans this week, thee start OF bright

county was Just about the gain in
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Population of Western Kentucky

Population of Western Kentucky.
The census bureau has given out
the population of half dozen Ken
lucky cities which have not APP
peared in previous bulletins. All
these cities have made gains in pop
ulation, but no one of them has
made remarkable showing as to
growth.
Paducah and greensboro are the
largest of these cities, and they
make the best numerical gains. Pa
ducah has a population OF 22,76O,
compared with 19.446 in 1900, a gain
OF 1914 in ten years. Owensboro's
population is 1901 as against 49,
1S9 in 1900, a gain OF 2,S22.
Henderson, the city next in size,
shows less favorably with a popula-
tion of l1,452. against 1922 in
1900, gain of Use. Inasmuch as
the census indicated that Henderson
county's population had fallen on
more than $500 the city OF Hender-
son appears to have done well under
the circumstances in holding her
own and in making the small in
crease of 1.1SO in the decade.
Frankfort climbed into the ten
thousand class between 1900 and
1910. The returns give her 1896,
as compared with 9,4S7 in 1900.
The gain of 97S is small. but the in
|crease in all of Franklin county was
less than 500. Frankfort's growth.
Il will be seen, was all that saved
the county from considerable loss
of population.
Hopkinsville and Bowling Green
are both pushing toward the 10000
class, but the former is making de-
cidedly the better progress. Hop
kinsville has 9.4l9 inhabitants. com
pared with 1850 ten years ago. n
gain of 2.139. Bowling Green has
size, compared with S.226 In 1900,
a gain of S47. Both Christian and
Warren counties would have lost in
population except for the growth OF
Hopkinsville and Bowling Green
Christian county's gain was only
$50 and Warren's gain was only
sO9.
Ashland's population is S.6SS,
compared with $500 In the 1900
census. This is a gain of 1.sss, a
good record as compared with the
other cities. all OF which are larger.
Boyd eounty's gain in the census was
4,610.
owensboro's gain saved Daviess
county from loss in population,
the city gaining 2.s22, while the
county as a whole gained only o.
1853. This was not the case with
Paducah and Mccracken county. Pa
ducah's gain being 3.S14, while the
county as a whole gained $751;
