ing the two continents have passed
beyond the realm Of formalities.
The idea q & Pan. American Con.
gress dates way back to 1875 and 81
mon Bolivar. Since then there have
been several Pan-American confer
ences. 1t is an impressive sight to
see together the. statesmen of all
these different races. 1t is inspiring
to note the harmony with which they
discuss technical points ~ customs
regulations.
Meanwhile really vital matters
have been tactfully removed from the
program. Nothing controversial gets
in. A large part of the subjects are
merely perfunctory, like resolutions
of appreciation. But no doubt these
conferences have done good, In bring
ing national leaders together in a
social way. SO r7f4f3
The American people are princip-
ally interested in wider commercial
relations with South America. The
South American peoples have a NOR
bid fear of American aggression and
they want positive assurances against
that. The conferences never seemed
to get to the heart of these vital
questions.
Now the fortunes Of Mexican dip
lomacy have brought these Internal
ional relations up against real work
to be done. Brazil has been made
the guardian Of American interests
at Mexico City. Argentina, Brazil and
Chile, will try to unravel q tangle in
which the United States is vitality in,
terested.
In daily life people never get ac-
quainted when they simply go out to
make stiff social calls. Friendship is
only created when people get inter-
ested in doing something together.
Perhaps this mediation may be step
toward a more intimate friendship
with the Southern powers.

THE GROWTH or
POPULATION saw

According toithe estimates OF the
census bureau by July tho United
States will have a population OF 1Os,.
o21 1892 people, This is n gain Of
over 100000 persons in four years.
Such rapid gains look alarming TO
some people. They begin to think
that population will become too con.
sested. s-F, 's' fl,t k.i2
Estimates OF the possible popula.
ton that could be supported IN the
United States have varied very
widely. Prof. A. p. Brigham a
leading scientist who discussed that
subject in the Popular Science Month.
ly a few years ago. had 1t figured out
that this country could support only
O5,OOO,0OO people. At present rates
that number would be reached in less
than one hundred years.
The editors of that magazine, how
ever, are much more liberal. They
say that three quarters Of our land
can be made productive, capable CT
producing fifty bushels Of corn per
acre. A bushel of corn has the food
value to support man about one
month. That would make 1t possible
for an acre to support four men a
year.
They think therefore, that 5000.
100000 people could be fed In this
country, on the present basis Of
production. BY scientific methods
the crops could be doubled. The de
velopment of the tropical regions,
which are far more fertile, and cx-
change of the manufactures Of the
temperate zone for the food Of the
tropics, would, they say. permit TO-.
900 900, 900 people to live in our ter.
ritory. .,.
In Europe every little creyice. on
the sunny mountain slopes Is utiliz,
ed for little patches ,of cultwes only
a few feet wide. In this country
there is gross waste everywhere . The
loss OF rain water, the throwing OF
sewage containing valuable chemical
elements into the sea, and soil and
forest exhaustion, are few of our
more wanton extravagances.
The rapid growth OF Uncle Sans
family is thus to be welcomed. 1t
may not uplift average prosperity,
But it is a welcome restimons to tie
fact that economic conditions In
this country are still very much more
favorable than elsewhere.

be deemed probable sources OF
the immensely valuable mineral
called radium, which is believ-
ed to have the power to cure cam
Ger and to have, besides, chemic-
al powers that open up almost
unimaginable vistas in physics.
Although America has furnish
ed, almost exclusively, the ores
from which the worlds supply.
of radium has been obtained,
there exists in the United States
but two grammes weight of the
precious substance, valued at
$4,000 the gramme. Secretary
Lane argues that, as this rare
mineral seems destined to be of
such great public benefit, the
source of supply should not be
permitted to become a matter of
private exploitation. This
perfectly reasonable,
does it not?
And yet no one seems ever to
have applied the same theory of
concern for the public in the dis
position of the great oil and
coal and gas and timber resour-
ces of the nation and many are
fiercely resisting the proposed
of the theory to
what remains of the nations

gobbled up by just such greedy
as have despoiled the
public domain of other resources
that should have been kept for
the common benefit.
The request of Secretary Lane
is unique in that it affords one
instance where the stable door
is proposed to be locked before
the horse is stolen. It is anoth-
err instance showing that the
democratic administration is Sc
riously and earnestly trying to
give back to the people the
rights and privileges that have
been taken away from them by
the oligarchy of special privil-
eye that grew up under republi-
can administration. Fort

The public should not lose

cause the roads are in such

King himself never claimed that
good roads could be built in a

trary he contends that to secure
a real serviceable roadbed that is
practically impervious to rain

years. continued use of the drag.
The puddled earth that is level
led down by the drag and then
packed deeper into the roadbed
by traffic remains there to form
a foundation for a road that in
time will cease to become mud
dy. The longer the use of the
drag is kept up, the thicker this
solid roadbed becomes, until fin

wagon. Don't become discour-
