PRELIMINARY FIGURES

A preliminary statement of the white

counties and principal cities as shown
by the returns of the Thirteenth Decen.
NAL Census, taken as of April Is, 1910,
was issued Saturday by Director Dur.
and of the Bureau of the Census, De.
partment of Commerce and Labor.
The statistics were prepared under the
direction of William G. Hunt, chief sta.
tlstlcian for population in the Census.
The total population of Florida in
1910 was subdivided as to color as fol-
lows: White, 1856; negro, 1903, 500,

Japanese and other Asiatics), 3O4. The
equivalent figures for 1900 were:
White. 297, 1893; negro, 23O, 100; all 9TH
ers 479. For 1890 they were: White.
224, 949; negro, l6f, 1870; all other, 293.
The negro population constituted al
per cent of the total population of the
state in 1910, as against 43 7 per cent
in 1900 and 42.5 per cent in 1890. g.

the fOrty-six counties and the smallest
negro population. The 1920 census
will place St. Lucie at least the Oath of

DEMOCRACYS CHOICE
ISCOMING TOAFOCUS

Under the caption, "Coming to Fo-
Gus" the Tampa Times of Tuesday
discusses the national political situa-
ton and the probable action of the
nominating conventions, whose work
WILDE well cut and dried before they
assemble. The Times believes that
there is little doubt as to the outcome
of the deliberations of the republican
body. "Prognostications in this CASE"
says the Tampa paper, is a waste of
time. There is nothing to guess at;
everything is settled Taft is it.
Of the Democratic possibilities the
Times dismisses Underwood and Champ
Clark with few words and gives no
considerat ton to the ''others sometimes
mentioned except in the comment
that, "even the party typified by the
donkey has sanity enough remaining to
eliminate all of them from the proba-
bility of consideration. Then, taking
the2two that are left. Wilson and Har-
mon, it gives the following incontrOv-
ertibe summary of the situation:
Wilson is the choice of the masses
of the party, the rank and file of the
people; Harmon IL the candidate OF the
classes, the representative and favor
tie of the Interests" in evidence of
which may be cited the circular letters
lately sent out to their customers by
financers of Wall street advocating
his nomination. Further, the latter is
the present day exponent of Cleveland
ism'and of that school of democracy,
which. whatever may be said in its ia
vor by it's adherents, is not in accord
with the genius of the party of today.
If the decision between the two could
be left to a nation wide primary, Will
son would be nominated by vote of at
least two thirds of the whole; but if it
rests, as it usually does, with machine
manufact ured convention led by the
bosses, Harmon will be the so-called
standard bearer, and the party will
be led into a conquest, the issue of
which will be problematicaI."

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP POPULAR

The people of Fort Pierce expressed
themselves as unanimously in favor of
municipal ownership of public utilities,
voting to bond for ninety thousand dol
lars, without dissenting voice. OF
this sum fifteen thousand will! be used
for electric lights, thirty thousand for
waterworks and forty-five thousand
dollars for sewers and the improve
ments are to be made at once.
All cities wherever municipal owner
ship of public utilities is found have
been given a means of reducing taxes
or of providing revenue to be expended
on public improvements and Fort Pierce
will be found showing the prosperou
signs of the city's new business policy
almost from the day that her progress,
i've citizens in that election showed
their unanimous determination to see
that nothing in the way of up-to' date
conyeniences are to be found wanting in

Now. this may not be q central bank.

of the Federal government all the time.

Ten Millions for Washington.

Andrew Carnegie's gift of another s1o.-
100000 for the Carnegie Institution. which
is located in this city. means much for
Washington. 1t adds to the importance
of this city among the capitals of the
world
Washington has taken great strides in
the past decade as an educational center.
The Catholic University, already estab-
lished. and the Methodist University.
which is making substantial progress, are
but the nuclei Of the movement in the
direction of the National Capital. The
scientific circle in Washington is acknowl-
edged to occupy high rank among learned
men, and with the Carnegie Institution
developing under the princely generosity
of its founder. We shall in the near fu-
ture see Washington recognized as the
mecca Of great minds.
a gift of S1o,0o0,00O to an institution To-
Gated in this city is an event Of more
than usual Importance.

Politics n Fine Teacher.

From the Newark News.
There is one good thing about politics
that few people suspect. 1t cnlarges the
popular knowledge and use of words
and phrases that would otherwise remain
absolutely unknown to the masses.
During the Grant administration. for ex-
ample. the whole nation was taught the
meaning of credit mobilier.' When
Tilden was running for President they
learned the word 'usufruct." During
Clevelands regime they memorized
..innocuous desuetude." MIR. Bryan gave
them full knowledgs of sixteen to one" ;"
Theodore Roosevelt taught them the
square DEAL and recent history has
made "conservation' a household word
Very few knew. two years ago, what
conservation really meant. Now every
body is in favor of conservation; they
differ only as to the method.
The Washington herald., 1911-01-21
Mr.. Taft's Programme.

The end OF the present short session of
Congress being only about six weeks dis
tant the question naturally presents it
self whether the programme laid down
by the President for legislative action
will be carried out.
Mr.. Taft has advocated a great num-
ber of changes and reforms in his mes
these would be dealt with during the
short session? As a matter of fact, he
has settled mainly upon three measures:
y tariff commission: the ship-subsidy
hill. and certain conservation legisla-
ton. with the possible addition of an
anti injunction measure. Regarding these
measures. it may be said that the COM
mission bill has but very slender pros
pect of passage. the subsidy just as lit
tie. while the other proposed bills are
in hazy condition that holds out but
small promise.
The disposition in some quarters seems
to be to throw the whole blame upon
Congress and to allege that, while the
l Slduly HdNS uOue SOHfe-
thing serious, Congress, as a whole. was
not ready to support him. This may be
true as far as it goes. but it does not
go very far. for Congress cannot plead
that the Presidents tariff commission
and subsidy plans were unsatisfactory,
since 1t has been advocating some meas
ures equally unsuitable
Whether or not this condition of affairs
Is due to q lack of leadership or not. the
fact remains that there is only a brief
period in which the Republican majority
in Congress can go upon record. After
the 4th Of March the Democrats will
control the House, and the President will
be able to exert a commanding influence
only in the Senate. Even in that body,
where the old leaders are retiring. there
Will be only q narrow margin between
the two parties, while the fnsurgent Re-
publicans are hostile to practically every
subject proposed.
The question Is, WIN Congress do any
thing before the 9Th OF March!
