WHITES INCREASE FASTER
THAN Do THE BLACKS
Census Bulletin for 1911
Favors the AngIo-Saxon
in America.

The rate of increase in the white popu-
lation of the United States during the
last ten years has been considerably
greater than the rate of increase in the
negro population. A preliminary state
ment in regard to the statistics of the
white and black population of the coun-
try has been issued by the census bureau.
The computations of the census show
that the larger rate of increase in the
white population has not been due wholly
to the effects of immigration, but that
the natural increase Of the white popu-
lation is on the whole greater than is
that of the black races.
The white population of the southern
states in 1910 was a greater percentage
of the entire population of those states
than 1t was in 1900 the census shows
The whites in the south in 1910 consti-
tuted 900 per cent of the entire popula-
ton, and the blacks 29.S per cent. In
1900. the whites constituted GA per cent
of the population and the blacks 32.3 per
cent. Ten years before that the whites
constituted $50 per cent and the blacks
80 per cent.
In the District of Columbia the white
population increased from 1900 to 1910
from 1871, 332 to 23612S, and the black
population increased from S6, TOP to "a, 446
The rate of increase was for the white
1913 per cent and for the black, So per
cent.

HEADS METROPOLITAN CLUB.
Nathaniel Wilson Elected President
to Succeed Senator Root.

Nathaniel Wilson has been elected
president of the Metropolitan Club to
succeed Senator Elihu Root of New
York. Senator Root refused reelection
on the ground that his other duties
prevented his assuming the RESPONSE
bility of heading the club. Mr.. Wilson
was formerly first vice president.
Reginald Huidekoper assistant United
States attorney for the District of
Columbia. was elected secretary of the
club TO succeed Lieut.. Col Charles L.
McCawley; Woodbury. Blair was elected
first vice president to succeed Mr.. Will
son. Chief Justice Harry NJ. Clabaugh
was reelected second vice president and
Thomas Hyde was reelected treasurer
a majority of the members of the board
of governors was reelected.
Little opposition developed to the
election of the successful candidates, it
has been learned. For a time it had
been rumored that an element in the
club would attempt 10 overthrow the
older members at the election, but the
rumor proved groundless.
