States, our cities, our towns. We
stuff local census figures sometimes
to show growth even when we have
had none. We hide our heads in
shame when the statistics show a
loss of population or a gain sup
posed to be too small.
This excessive esteem for mere nu-
merioal increase arises from the fact
that our deck-room on the Good
Ship Earth a hundred years ago was
poor in people and rich in space
which hungered for them. There
were few passengers and much deck
room. Life on board was poor and
starved because there were SO few
people that they could not we'll help
each other, nor build up a full and
complete life. 1t is much better in
most ways in America with a hun
bred millions than 1t was with Ave-
And it really has been in some way
discreditable to an American State
or city or town not to grow. II
meant that the soil was poor or the
government was bad, or the people
disagreeable. So shame is the proper
feeling in the one case and regret
in the other at the failure of popu-
ation to increase.
But we must not get into the habit
of thinking because the ship had too
few passengers on part of the decks
shut off from the others by water, and
that a hundred years ago, that the
steady increase of numbers on the
part of the human race-the passen-
gers on the great terrestrial airship
Earth, is a good, or salutary thing
no matter what anyone may say.
In the quarter of a century sue
ceeding 1882 the population of the
earth increased one-eighth. At this
rate, in 500 years there will be ten
billions of us. In 900 years our in
crease every twenty-five years will be
more than the whole number of us
in 1882
And there is every reason to believe
that never in history were the pass
engers multiplying as fast as now.
1t behooves us TO consider what
happens when populations get too
dense.
Statistics show that Belgium is
more thickly peopled than any other
nation, but such statistics mean moth
ing. Belgium is mainly a cluster Of
cities, and q city is not self-sustain-
ing. It is one end only of the equa-
ton, one member of the proportion.
Belgium, Holland. Manhattan and the
island of Great Britain are places
where people are gathered together to
do certain things. and those on farms,
in ships, in railway cars, in wilder
nesses, and on sheep ranges and cat
tie ranches, and in forests who are
coworkers with these city dwellers to
make up a complete industrial COM
munity should be taken into account
when density of population is reck-
oned.
Cheyenne, Wyoming, is densely
populated. but the Cheyenne territory
is spare of settlers. When the crew
of ship gathers to furl the sails
the yards are thickly populated; but
the ship may be undermined. SO,
while Belgium, Holland, Great
Britain, Manhattan and Cheyenne
may some OF them be overpopulated,
they are not all so. and may none Of
them be. For they are the places
where the passengers-who are also
the crew-of the good ship Earth are
gathered to work the vessel--fof
mutual aid and cooperation.
To find the places where the earth
is really over-populated one must go

For Every Inch Of Land Son
Captain Robert F. Scott, Obit Antarctic
Regions. January 1912.

In vain the laughing girl will lean
To greet her love with love-lit eyes:
Down in some treacherous black
ravine,
Clutching the nag, the dead boy
lies,
And many moon and sun win see
The lingering, wistful children wait
To climb upon their fathers knee;
And in each house made desolate
Pale women who have lost their lord
Will kiss the relics of the slain
Some furnished epaulet, some sword
Poor toys to soothe such anguished
pain.
For not in quiet English fields
Are these, our brothers, laid to rest.
Where we might deck their broken
shields r.
With all the flowers the dead love
best.

Peoples
Rostrum
CONDEMNS Arlington strilke.

To the Editor Of the pyening Star;
Sir-I notice through your valuable
columns that the Arlington company
has been placed on the unfair list
at the suggestion of Labor Leader
Heating.
Mr.. Heating is man of ability
and brains, and no doubt has been
swayed by false statements and
lies, as l am sure he would not have
attempted such a step had he prop
erly familiarized himself with exist
ing conditions, which are neither un-
fair nor unjust.
He also knows that Of the men
now out at least seven-tenths were
forced out against their will and
had they been given half a chance,
or at least the privilege of a secret
ballot, they would be working today
instead of walking the streets.
Ask some of these men what they
are out for 1t is not wages, be-
cause they are paid the very highest
in their line in this country. 1t is
not hours, because they only work
on an average of eight and a half
hours day. Tt is not their fore
men. They have good ones, and as
square a general superintendent as
there is in the country, who has never
yet listened to only one side OF "a
grievance. Some of the very men
who are now SO bitterly opposing
him he has befriended when he could
have done otherwise.
They will tell you they do not, nor
did not. want to go out, but it was
the principle of the thing. But they
should take into consideration, as
lthey were told yesterday by the
priest, that the real principle and
the first principle is their wives and
families, and these men know per-
fectly we'll that they cannot get any
where near the wages they are get
ting now Still. they are willing t.
throw these positions up to be LED
around by the nose by a few who
have put them where they are today
and who don't give snap if they
never get out of it as long as they
reap any benefit or think that thell
own jobs are safe.
The Arlington company has always
treated its help fairly and squarely
and the men out knew this, and they
know they will be treated all right
Why, then, should they walk th'
streets to please a few who do mo-
care for anyone except themselves?
Be men. Show that you are men
Take the advice of Fathers Westmaf
and Rigney. Their advice is better
yes, a thousand times better, thar

leader or labor unions If you dc
this I am sure you will never regre
