ly stationary, but there is no coun-
try in the world where on the aver
age the material condition of the peo-
pie is better, except the United
States. Here also the birth rate is
low among the native population.
Some persons are disposed to speak
of low birth rate as an evil thing
in itself. Observation does not show
this to be the case, but whatever one
may think on that point, the fact re-
mains that where high state Of civil
lization exists and infant mortality is
consequently low, the birth rate also
is low. Keeping in mind conditions
of this kind, one may conclude that
the growth in population of this and
every other civilized country will be-
come slower, but that the average con-
dition of the people will become bet
ter. Infant mortality will be greatly
reduced and individual lives will be
prolonged. Under these conditions the
tendency will be toward the equilib-
rum of France, where the population
is stationary.-Republican.

DEATH OF LEROY YOUNG.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Yesterday afternoon Leroy Young,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. d. Young of
the lower La Plata, N. NJ, and a
brother of Mrs. ]. w. Lackey of this
city, died at Mercy hospital. The
young man was 10 years of age, the
cause of death being peritonitis.
Leroy was pupil of the Durango
high school and had been at the hos
pital about week. 1t seems very
sad when taken away in youth, be-
fore life's promise has been fulfilled.
Death seems so pitiless and at the
same time so pitiful, in the case of
the young. The great change comes
as a crown to age, but the blighted
bud, the broken pillar and the youth
full dead are alike unnatural.
Those who have lost sons or daugh-
ters, or have mourned the loss of any
beloved dead will sympathize with the
family in their distress, which is al
ways so keen, just after the separa-
ton.
The remains will be taken to La
Plata this afternoon, overland, for in
terment which will take place tomor-
row.

POPULATION POSSIBILITIES.

Henry Gannett, geographer of the
census bureau, has been making cal
culations on the probable increase in
the population of this country, with
the conclusion that in 2110 it will
reach 500 millions.
Mr.. w. ]. MCGEE answers Mr.. Gan
nett in recent number of Science"
and contends that by 2210 the popu-
lation of this country will have reach
ed the limit of ability to maintain
population, and that at that date it
will amount to 1000 millions, He
reaches his conclusion respecting the
ability Of this country to maintain
population by saying that the limit is
finally determined by the available
water supply. He makes calcula-
ton, the result of which is that it
requires a supply of five acre-feet of
water annually. Apply this to DIFF
ferent parts of the United States ac-
cording to rainfall, he concludes that
the region from the west boundary of
Missouri to the Atlantic coast will
support 600 millions; the two Dakotas,
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas 200 millions, and the eleven
states included in the semi-arid and
arid regions will support 200 mil
lions. Thus he reaches his total of
1000 millions.
All these calculations are of little
value, whether the conclusions be that
at given date the population will
be 500 millions or 1000 century la
ter. They are worthless, because the
growth in population does not depend
finally upon the water supply or even
upon the food supply, which might
under assumed conditions suffice to
maintain a certain number of people.
The controlling factors are the almost
numberless forces which in the aggre-
gate determine the character of the
civilization of any country or of any
age.
This is closely related to bio
logical law, the operation of which
maintains something like a balance
between death rate and reproduction.
From the low orders of organic life
where millions of creatures are pro-
duced in day or even in an hour
and millions are destroyed in the
same time, to the high orders in which
individual life is greatly prolonged
and the birth rate is low, this law
holds good. Reproduction does not
run far beyond what is needed for
preservation Of the species.
With the human species, the high
er the civilization, the lower both the
birth rate and the death rate. In
society where the birth rate is low
the means for the preservation of in
FAINT life is more nearly adequate than
where the conditions Of life are harder
and where also the birth rate is high
er. The population Of France is near

REPUBLICAN, NATIONAL PROS.
PECTS.

A few of the presidents words at
the dinner of the Hamilton club in
Chicago may arouse false hopes
among the Democrats. After saying
that some persons believe the con-
tinuance of Republican sway in the
national government is endangered,
he added: II am hopeful that the
people Of the country who know
good thing when they see it have
only chastened us in an off year, in
order that we may be better here
after, but with no intention of shift
ing the burden of the present prob
lens from the shoulders that arc
fitted to bear them and carry them
to successful solution, and to trans
fer them to those that are untried,
and which have new theories of ac-
ton that we don't believe in, and that
we don't believe the people believe
in. However, if they desire to make
the change we shall Loyalty support
the new government under any con-
ditions, with the hope that it will
inure to the benefit of the country,
but with the consolation that If, after
one trial, the people think they ought
to go back to the old party that has
served them so well in the progress
sive days of the nation they will do
So"
This does not mean that the presi-
dent supposes the Republican party
will be defeated in 1912, but only
that some persons think it may be
defeated. In an election which is
twelve months away from us we may,
if we wish, think almost anything is
possible. Politics in republic is al
ways uncertain. If all the predicted
or imagined party defeats which
never came were cited here they would
make long list. In August, 1864,
Lincoln and many members of his
cabinet believed their party would
lcse the election then only three
months away. For several weeks
after Greeley's nomination by the Lib
eral Republicans had been accepted
by the Democratic national convention
Grant and other Republican leaders
thought the coalition would sweep the
country. When Maine, in September,
1880, was carried by the Democratic
tSon nk foy 10 pku 30 al.
Garfield despaired of election in the
two months later, and so did
many other astute Republicans. Near
the close of the campaign of 1896
Henry George, who had accompanied
Bryan in some of his tours, predicted
that he would sweep every state ex-
cept possibly four or five in New
and Bryan agreed with him.
Yet in every one of these instances
the foreseen event refused to make its
advent. In every case the Republican
ticket carried the country. This out
ccme was rather surprising in 1880,
for Garfield was a weak candidate.
1t shows that the conditions must be
very abnormal before majority of
the American people can be tempted
into electing Democratic presidential
ticket. Taft is better balanced and
more popular man than Garfield was.
Moreover, on the whole, the "off year"
just ahead of the Garfield campaign
hit the Republicans harder than did
the congressional election of 1910.
The outlook on the eve of 1880 was
much darker for the Republican party
than it is now when the 1912 con-
are only few months ahead
