The Population Center.

Indiana continues to be the hub of the
United States, as II has been for the
past twenty years. The center Of popula-
ton, which some time between 1880 and
1ssI slipped across the Ohio boundary
into the Hoosier state, remains in the
latter commonwealth and IL likely to stay
there for several decades. 1t Is now To-
Gated short distance south Of Un.onville.
thus giving that town a distinction which
1t has never hitherto enjoyed. 1t is note
worthy that the slightly southwark tend
ency which has accompanied the western
movement for a considerable period has
ceased and the line of centrality is now
moving a bit northward as ii works to-
ward the Mississippi. This signifies that
the weight OF settlement is in the north
west rather in the southwest. Such
states as the Dakotas. Washington, Mon
tana. Oregon. Idaho and Wyoming have
In the last ten years grown at a rate

Public Bathing Facilities.

If members of Congress would take
the trouble to go down to the bathing
beach on hot day. while waiting for
the close of the session. they would I'M
doubtedly be influenced to adopt a more
liberal policy for this institution in the
matter of appropriations Since the open
ing OF the beach this season 1t has been
literally crowded. Thousands of men and
boys, women and girls have used il, and
the health of the city has unquestionably
been materially improved in consequence.
1t would have been possible to use at
least twice the space most of the time,
and larger beach would doubtless have
drawn an even greater number.
The bathing beach is not what Wash
ington should have as municipal swim
ming pool and bath. 1t is in truth pitt
fully small substitute for an adequate
equipment. Compared with municipal
bathing facilities enjoyed elsewhere, it is
trivial affair. Yet the appropriations
for it are never large enough and this
season it will be necessary to close it
prematurely because of a lack of money.
An appeal is to be made for an emer-
gency appropriation. and it is TO be hoped
that 1t will be granted promptly upon
application.
There should be bathing pool or
beach, or station, or whatever it may be
called, on the Eastern branch. There
should be another supplied by the waters
of Rock creek. There is room for al
least four OF five Of these Invaluable aids
to health. If established at carefully
chosen places and maintained properly
they would all be we'll used during four
or five months of the year. 1t is impos-
sible to say how many lives such an
equipment would help to .save. On Sun
day morning a boy who had gained pro
ficiency in the water, growing tired of
the inadequate facilities afforded by the
little pond that is by courtesy called the
bathing beach, went for swim in the
Potomac and dove to his death. Scarcely
week passes without some such acct
dent, attributable TO the insufficiency of
the city's provisions Cor public bathing
and swimming. A list of the lives sac
rifced on this score would make an eff
fective argument for a larger provision
of bathing facilities. Meanwhile it would
pay the Districts Legislators to stroll
down to the bathing beach some warm
afternoon and witness with their own
eyes the proof that Washington Is UNDER
equipped in this respect s.--"r

of the Interior would be devoted chiefly

The Game of Quiz.

At the game of asking questions two
may play Mr.. Bryan, whether as citi-
zen, party leader or editor of the Com
moner. is within his rights in interro-
eating presidential aspirauts as TO their
views about public questions. He and
the public are entitled to know where
such men stand. The office of President
possesses great power, and the occupant
as all of us are aware, is a factor in
the matter of legislation. He not only
recommends measures to Congress, but
while measures are shaping is often in
consultation with leaders of that body
about details. They seek his counsel,
and ne is right in giving it whenever it
is sought. Such has been the practice
from the beginning.
AT the head of the thirteen questions
risky number-which Mr. Bryan pro-
pounds TO democrats who have their eyes
on the White House he puts the one
relating 10 the tariff. Are they in favor
OF tariff for revenue only? But what
does Mr. Bryan mean by that, and what
sort of bill would accomplish that OBJ
tect, and what is his own record on the
subject?
He was a member of the House which
passed the Wilson tariff bill. and he help
ed prepare 1t. The democracy had OBJ
tanned power on a platform denouncing
protection and promising a tariff for rev.
enUe only. Did the Wilson bill redeem
that promise? On the contrary, IL car
ried protection 50 conspicuously. many
democrats. with Henry Watterson lead
ing, denounced the measure as be-
trayal of trust. The authors had found
themselves unable to cut out protection
They had promised the people what could
not be performed without ruin to bust
ness and bringing the government to a
standstill for want of money to pay it's
bills. They had Numbered too loudly In
the index. They had obtained Office not
under false pretenses, but. let us say,
under a mistaken idea of what was pos
sible at that time in the way of down
ward tariff revision.
And such is the democratic situation
today. Mr.. Underwood is struggling with
the same problem Mr.. Wilson of West
Virginia. who was Mr.. Bryan's chief,
struggled with. He finds himself loaded
down with campaign tariff CUFF. and
Obliged in order TO make any sort of head
way, TO tighten ship Overheard Is going
this promise and that and others will fol-
low. The excuse? Business demands it,
and the government must have revenue
Where is there a democrat of any
prominence. not a mere agitator and a
shave to stump claptrap. who does not
know that in any downward revision of
the tariff the element of protection
must be given consideration? Red
and blue ruin would follow any other
course. A day may come in our affairs
when protection will not be necessary
But the millennium is promised. And
that and free trade will arrive together
Meanwhile, and for the moment, all
prominence to Mr.. Bryan's thirteen ques-
tons. What say the men to whom they
are addressed?

An Alaska Commission Needed.
rom the Boston Transcript


Alaska seems destined to be consider
ably more than Stewards ice box" as It
was called at the time when 1t was ac-
quired from Russia by the United States
In 1867. This great territory has not
only become a marvellous source Of
wealth in gold. furs and fisheries. but it
has also become prolific source of scan
dial and trouble. We are hardly vet
done with the sensation regarding the
Nome gold discoveries. with their quar-
rels between individual prospectors and
corporations. than we are drawn into a
bitter contest on coal. Almost the whole
of the Ballinger trouble arose from this
controversy over coal deposits which
were claimed by various concerns under
various rights This difficulty has
arisen partly because there never has
yet been a survey of Alaska, and the
coal land laws of the United States have
not been definitely extended to Alaska,
so that the whole matter there is in
condition of interminable confusion and
worse.

Baltimore and the Convention.

Reports come from the west that Hi
nois democrats are no longer hopeful of
securing the national convention of their
party in 1912 for Chicago and are dis
posed to throw their influence to Balti-
more as being not only suitable. but
likely to win with eastern support The
cities of st. Louis. Kansas City and Den
yer are all aspirants for the privilege of
entertaining the democracy next year.
and Chicago seems to feel that with the
middle west thus divided an eastern city
has the best chance. This is good rea-
soning. and 1t should encourage the advo-
Gates Of Baltimore to make even greater
efforts to secure the honor. Baltimore IS
we'll equipped to accommodate the con-
vention and has historical prestige in
the matter of the naming of presidential
candidates. No other eastern city has
formally entered the lists, and there is
no reason to expect that BaltiInore's
claims will be seriously contested by any
candidate east of the Mississippi river.
