THE RUSH TO THE CITIES

The tendency of population toward
the cities continues. despite the coun-
try life propaganda that finds its
testimonials in picture sections Of
the papers and magazines. A bulle-
tin of the census of 1910 shows that
the population of some of the East
crn States is in the cities to a start
ling extent. For instance, Rhode Is
land has $4,000 persons in cities,
and only $4,000 in the country. The
country, by the way, means not only
the open country, but also includes
towns and villages of less than $500
Inhabitants. In the whole United
States several million persons live in
such communities, and are in truth
more urban than rural.
Massachusetts, has $4,000 per-
sons in cities and towns Of more than
$500 inhabitants, and only 24l 900
in the country and the villages.
Even in Illinois, in the heart OF the
agricultural region, the urban pop
ulation has outrun the rural; and
the same is true OF Ohio.
Vermont is the only New England
State where rural population thus
reckoned. exceeds urban. The South
and Southwest contain the greatest
proportions of rural inhabitants.
Texas has three times as many rural
as urban, Georgia almost four times
as many, and Arkansas more than
six times as many.
We are coming to realize that the
conditions of this problem have been
precisely reversed in the last gener-
alton. The country used to be the
place for the man without capital;
Uncle Sam, as the old song goes, was
rich enough to give us all farm.
Today, we begin to hear the COM
plant that the countryman must be
either a capitalist or hired man. 1t
is the city, we are told, that affords
the opportunities for energy, enter
prise, talent. to gain recognition and
reward, even though they have no
immediate backing of capital The
city makes the capitalist, and then
the capitalists so out to the country
for week-cnds and vacations and
the fun of spending their money
There is something i'm these ideas
no doubt, and the census reports
show that they are having their
effect upon the movement of our pop
ulatiOn. Yet there is another side
to the picture. The greater the rush
to the cities, the fierccr becomes tn,
competition for every opening in bus
mess. AS the producers OF foOt
dwindlc in numbers and the cOnsum
crs multiply, the cost of living is for
ccd upward and the conditions of tn,
struggle become more and more diff
cult. The rewards of success are still
there, but the penalties of failure
grow more and more terrible.
Let the farm lad who dreams O
the opportunities" of the city thinl
twice yes, thrice-befOrc he yields
to the lure of the crowded markc
place. Will money-even if he car

PATHFINDING CAR
AT HARRISBURG
No Difficulties Encountered by
Blazers of Trail for Washing
ton Endurance Run.
Special to The Washington Herald

Special TO The Washington Herald
Harrisburg. Pa. June 2-Sunburned.
tired, and half choked with dust. the
members Of the pathinding crew for
the Washington endurance run arrived
in Harrisburg. the first nights stop, at
o'clock, completing the first days run
OF 40 miles in nine hours and fifteen
minutes less two hours at lunch. The
Cole car used in blazing the trail is
standing the grind splendidly, having ex-
perienced no difficulty whatever.
Thus far the roads encountered have
proven to be considerable better than the
average, and the contestants should not
anticipate a hard journey. From the
standpoint Of scenic beauty, a more pic
turesque course would be hard to find.
To-day's course was through Rock
Vile, Clarksburg, Frederick, Hagers-
town. Chambersburg, and Carlisle. There
are some elegant stretches Of road for
letting out" very few climbs. and the
scenic grandeur crossing the Blue Ridge
Mountains will amply repay participants
for entering.
The pathfnders will leave Harrisburg
early tomorrow morning on the trail
for Philadelphia, the seco' nights stop.
Late tonight arrangements were COM
pleted for the reception Of those taking
part in the endurance run. Hotel accom-
modations will be reserved, cars will be
taken care of, and a public reception ex-
tended the contestants on their arrival
at this point. The Harrisburg Motor
Club will lead activities in the way Of
making the control an interesting one
for the motorists.
The Harrisburg Patriot to-day devotes
space to features of the run,
and will open its columns to the exploit
ing OF the progress OF the path1nding
and contesting members OF the event.

MARKET BREAK
TRACED TO RAID
Permanently Low Prices Not JuSti-
fed and Swift Recovery
Is Looked For.
Ry THoMAs c. sHoTwELL.


New York. June at may be that
some patriots have been too optimistic
about the stock market. but the fact re-
mains that the break Of last week was
the result Of a raid. No liquidation OF
Importance was caused except in little
specialties. There had been too many
weak imitators of American Can, and the
temptation to raid these things was irri-
sistible. Boston and Wall Street oper-
atOrs Joined in the assault. and the
leading bull interests lent aid by mac
ton. When the market was weakest the
large interests were observed buying
their own stocks quietly in great vol
umes. Technical conditions may have
justified the break. but fundamentals do
not Justify a permanently lower market,
and the recovery will be swift.
Crop conditions are even better than
last week and business in general is re-
ported improving. The Steel men are
disgruntled at the low prices, but they
are putting out a record volume Of fin
ished material April earnings OF the
railroads have given some excuse for
selling stocks, but those low earnings are
due TO labor disputes that are settled for
four years and to an unprecedented flood.
Normal conditions now prevail. and the
possibility of these conditions combining
again is too slight TO be considered seri-
Ously.
The stock market has resolved itself
into a matter Of sentiment. IL is use
less TO consider earning power. fOr prices
will go by fashion for some time. II the
Steel Trust should decide to wear low
cut prices for a week all the other ladies
will raise a dust changing to decollette.
II Lehigh and American Can should de-
eide to put on their high-necked dresses.
all the sister specialties will change
prices II they perspire to death.
Daniel G. Reid is in the Middle West
trying to decide what would be popular.
and Judge W. H. Moore is looking styles
over in Europe. They are expected to
issue a dress chart for che market in a
few days.

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS.

In an article in the May Woman's Home Companion on the compensa- tions that come to those who live away from great centers of popula- ton there appears the following sound advice:
 We are idly inclined to think that a real friendship once begun, ought to survive of it's own vitality; but alas. all beauty in this world, from q rose slip to q human soul, needs nurture. Nietzsche speaks very scornfully of those who fancy they dare show themselves as they are to their friends For your friends, he advised. wear every adornment' Ii is well worth while to. save the highest cheer, the brightest thoughts, the gentlest attentions. for the friend. One should always keep some inn personal topics of conversation ready. so that your thoughts together should not huddle down to the sordid atmosphere of narrow spaces. Be not only the sunshine to your friend but be d broad outlook and a wide view. Love must have space and air to thrive in.
 Human life offers us nothing else so beautiful as real friendship; not love, not prosperity, not fame, are so fair so precious So foster it! Let no distrust. no absence, no differ ence of environment. dim it's luster Let death itself be powerless to rob you of it's sweetness. Never break it; never lose it; it is the sweetest touch of mortal life'
