Madison.-Most of the cities of Wis
consin are showing a gradual healthy
growth, according to estimates of pop
ulation Just made public by the bureau
OF the census at Washington.
According to these statistics Wiscon-
sin has 510,SO4 square miles Of land
on which its population can increase.
This the state has done, for according
to the census in 1900, the state, had d
population of 2,069,042. which had
grown in 1910 to 2,333,S6 and by the
1914 estimate of the census bureau had
reached 2,446,71e. The growth Of the
state, according to the detailed figures
show uniform gain CT about 27,O00

In the list of twenty-four cities Keno
sha is the smallest in size while Stew
ems Point has the least population. The
largest city in the state is Superior,
having %, 400 acres rs against Is, 407
for Milwaukee and 1,757 for Kenosha.
In the following table the present
estimated populations of Ashland, Mar
inette and Stevens Point are the same

has been a decrease in the population
of these cities instead of an increase

First American nEdItor.n

One hundred years ago Nathan Hale
assumed the editorship of the Boston
Daily Advertiser, the first daily news
paper in New England and for many
years the only one. Mr.. Hale was the
first American journalist to make edi-
torial articles prominent and to es-
tablish the principle Of editorial re-
sponsibility distinct from that of ia
dividual contributors. Under his ed
itorship the Advertiser acquired wide
influence as Wing organ. Its infiu-
ence was given in 1920 against the
Missouri bill and 1t was the first jour
nal to suggest the immediate free col
onization of Kansas. Mr.. Hale was
IN early advocate of railroads in New
England, and for 20 years he filed
the presidency of the Boston &
Worcester railroad, He was the
nephew and namesake of the cele-
brated Capt. Nathan Hale, whom the
British executed. as spy during the
revolution.

which plans for the future were care
fully laid.
The next day, the historic seventh
of June, was bright and sunny. Peo-

Oscar II, King Of Sweden and Nor
way, at the Time of the Dissolution
Of the Union of Norway and swe-
den, 1905.
TICS" the pope having officially author
lied the campaign of King Kristian.
In the course of the next few days
many other prominent Swedes in diff
ferent parts of the country were killed
in cold blood. This aroused the
Swedes to a general uprising under
the leadership of Gustaf Vasa, one OF
the ab.est and noblest men known to
the history of Sweden. After the
most miraculous escapes he overcame
the opposition and was made king of
Sweden in 1923. This terminated the
Danish rule in Sweden. The reign
of Gustaf Vasa, from 1923 to 1860,
marks the beginning of the golden
age of Sweden.
Passing over a period of nearly
three hundred years we come to the
time of the Napoleonic wars, in which
all of northern Europe was involved.
In 1909 Sweden was forced to give
up Finland to Russia. This was
great loss. A year later Jean Berna-
dotte. one of Napoleon's marshals,
was made crown prince of Sweden,
and changed his name to Karl Johan.
The nominal king of Sweden, Karl
XIII, was old and feeble, and Karl
Johan soon became the real ruler Of
the country. Napoleon and he were
never very fond of each other and in
1912 Karl Johan had a meeting with
the car of Russia, the arch enemy
of Napoleon. At this conference,
which was held in Abo, Finland, an
agreement was made that Karl Johan,
at the head of 10000 Swedes, should
join the enemies of Napoleon, after
which Denmark should be compelled
to cede Norway to Sweden England,
Austria and Prussia also agreed to
this bargain.
Norway Coded to Sweden.
Napoleon was defeated in the great
battle at Leipzig, in 1913, and Karl
Johan followed up the agreement by
turning against Denmark BY the
treaty of Kiel, January, 1914, King
Fredrik of Denmark ceded Norway
to Sweden, but kept Iceland, Green
land and the Farce islands, which
had always belonged to Norway.
Napoleon was crushed. Denmark
was eliminated as military power.
All Of northern Europe endorsed the
plan of having Norway coded to Swe-
den. The Norwegians realized their
position at once. The country had
been impoverished by wars, and the
failure of the crops in 1872 has no
counterpart in the history of the coun-

under one government? But it is
fact that these kingdoms have never
been more completely separated from
and Independent of each other than
they are today.
For a period of 434 years Norway
was ruled by Danish monarchs resid-
ing in Copenhagen, and many were
the Danes who predicted that in due
time the two nations would be united.
For another 81 years Norway was
ruled by Swedish kings residing in
Stockholm. But Norway, deprived of
a ruler, national government and
legislature of her own for 525 years,
at this moment can boast of the high
est degree of liberty ever enjoyed by
3 nation.
AS early as the year 1880 Norway
was in such a condition that King
Knut Cor Canute, as he is known in
English history the Great, of DEN
park. sent his son. Svein, to rule over
the Norwegians as their king. This
was the beginning OF a series of dy-
nastic entanglements with Denmark
which have continued until today
The present kings of Norway and
Denmark are brothers.
The last mare descendant of King
Harald Haarfagre died in 1919. But
a princess of that dynasty has mar
ried Duke Erik Of Sweden. and their
son, Magnus Ericsson inherited The
thrones of both Norway and Sweden.
The two countries remained under
the same ruler from 1919 until 1871.
Scandinavian Countries United.
This brings US to the period when
the three Scandinavian countries were
united under one ruler To enter into
the details OF this union would take
too much space in newspaper arti-
Gle. Suffice it to say that King Olaf
OF Denmark inherited the throne of
Norway in 1880, and the union of Dem
mark and Norway is generally reck-
Oned from this date. although 1t was
not until 1450 that a formal agree
ment was made that the two countries
should have the same king for ever
and ever"
King Olaf died In 1887. But the
union was not severed. for his mother
was Queen Margreta. by far the
strongest and ablest woman ruler who
ever lived in Scandinavia. This
woman has Justly been called THE
Semiramis of the North" Upon the
death of King Olaf. at the age Of
seventeen. she managed to have her
cousin, Erik of Pommern. lad only
six years old, made king of Dem
mark. Norway and Sweden. He was
crowned at kalmar. Sweden. in 1897
Hence the union of the countries of
the North is known in history as the
kalmar union. This union has always
been an inspiration to those who
would like to see a united Scandina-
VIA. About twelve years ago an at
tempt was made to erect a monu-

that place. There were 112 men from
all parts of the country. The different
classes of people were equitably rep
resented. The new constitution was
drawn up May II, 1914. On the same
day Kristian August, a Danish prince
who had held the position Of stat
Folder (regent) of Norway, was
unanimously chosen king. On this
occasion the chair was occupied by
Prot. Georg Sverdiup, who was very
Prominent before and during the con-
vent1on. After the election he made
speech in which he said:
GOD Protect Old Norway"
Again we have raised the ancient
royal throne of Norway, from which
Adelstens and Svorres ruled the
Country with wisdom and vigor. May

Two days later the king and the
members of the convention were

ton. They formed chain 81 brother

Sweden and Norway at War.
Norway was visited in June of the
same year by representatives from
the great powers Of Europe, who de-
rnanded the deposition of the new
king. No satisfactory agreements
could be reached and war was the
outcome. To speak of this war Is
almost impossible without offending
either the Swedes or the Norwegians.
We shall not try to settle this con-
troversy, but hurry on to the final re-
suits All parties agree on one point,
namely, that the new Norwegian king
was so afraid of blood spilling that
time and again he ordered retreat

Swedes had about 10000 men and the
Norwegians about 10000 men in the

capitulated before single man had
been wounded. Fort Fredriksten was
defended with great pluck. Karl Jo-
han began to suspect that the powers
would be of little real help to him In
subduing Norway, and so he offered
compromise to the effect that the
Norwegians could keep their consti

king and elect Karl XIII of Sweden
in his place. King Kristian accepted
this offer and opened the gates of
Fort Fredriksten to the Swedes. The
Norwegians were dismayed and Pro-

Until about nine hundred years ago
the people Of the north spoke prac-

In modern times the people of the
