Fox as q Gamester.


Charles James Fox. the English
statesman, was even more notorious in
the gaming world than he was famous
in the world of politics. He had
suuandered $25O.O0O before coming Of
age. He became one of the most profit
gate gamesters of the vicious days in
which he lived. Some Of his finest dis
plays in debate were sandwiched be-
tween excitement such as would un-
nerve most men who had no serious
business on hand. WalpOle has given
q glimpse of typical passage in this
extraordinary mans life. He had to
take part in the discussion on the
thirty-nine articles in parliament on a
certain Thursday. He had sat up play

Reaching India, China and Japan

as Well.
A worldwide change in human con-
ditions, political as well as economic,
is Indicated by the latest figures as to
the growth of cities. The figures now
being gathered show the phenomenon
Is not confined to America, but Is
sweeping over Europe and Asia and
Africa and the Australian continent.
In the Polish district Of Russia. for
example, there has been in the last
year an increase of 14,OOO workmen in
Moscow and 1900 In Warsaw. This
means 100000 more mouths to feed In
these two places.
The problem Is Of the greatest i'm
portance to those who live in Ameri-
can cities. for until the reaction. the
back to the sOil' movement, comes,
perhaps twenty to twenty-five years
hence. this enormous growth of mu-
inequalities is taken by European econ
Omists to mean permanently higher
prices for food
1t is the opinion abroad that the
United States will be the source of
supplies. inasmuch as the European
countries. which are more denSely
populated, must continually cry to oth-
er continents for food and the mate
rlals for clothing. Thus the American
planters and farmers will be able at
all times to find first class foreign
market for cereals, cattle, cotton, wool
and other raw materials. This inevi-
tably means higher prices for those
articles In the American market under
the inexorable law of supply and de-
mand. This growth of cities at the
expense of rural communities has
reached India. China and Japan. and
