Washington, Sept. 11.-GroWine
public interest in national defense has
prompted Assistant Secretary OF the
Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt 10 write
an article for the Economic World il
! which he reTieTs the economic side
Of this counug's naval appropriations
and compares them witt the exQe1di'
lures OF other naval powers.
After giving in q table figures show
ing the comparative strength OF the
British. German, French and Ameri-
can t1avies a trey existed July /,
1914 ,EAr9 RooseTest points cut that at
approximately this same period the
official budgets. for the naval estab-
Iishnents ct these nations were:
Great Britain, s260adt, 1fo;aGeEtnany,
s112,000,0 900; France, S99,cR,cH;
United States, SAG 1900.
From these figures says Mr..
Roosevelt, 1T would cen that the
United States is expending an exces-
sive sum in view OF the size Of its
fleet"
Mr.. Roosevelt points out that Eng
land, because Of her geographical 81
tuation and Comparatively short coast
line, is able to concentrate her whole
naval organization in relatively fe"
arsenals and dockyard5.
Frances problem is less simple, he
says. The ccastline Of that country
is long and is cut in two b. the jut-
ling ont Of Spain between the. Allan
tic and the Mediterranean. This, to-
gether with the lack Of large private
plants, makes necessary, for proper
naval efficiency, the maintenance o.
complete separate bases capable OF
taking care Of the whole French fleet.
Germany, Mr.. Roosevelt says, even
more than in the Gaze OF England, is
able to base her. feet o. an exceed
ingly small @" 81
Tie United States, according to III.
Roosevelt, has a naval problem or
difficult to solve than that ct any Eu-
ropean power. In this connection Re
says:
The length of even n Of Il
coast lines is greater than the whole
coast line Of either Great Brata'n,
Germany or France, and our other
coast line is separated from it D:
Of miles and by intervening
countries, even if the distance
is taken through the Panama canal.
Should anything oacIr to block this
waterway, the distance from the At
lantic seaboard to the Pacific il at
once more than doubled. This means,
OF course, that it is essential that the
United States maintain complete in.
naval bases on both the
Atlantic and the Pacific. Consider
ing for a moment only the Atlantic
seaboard, the number of existing ravy
yards seems unnecessarily great"

LOSS IN POPULATION.

although North Dakota has not
gained as much in population as 1t
should, wnen compared with other
states, especially South Dakota, there
is abundant ago for qualification
at our own growth. Our sister state
has lost 1850 in the last five years.
TTenty-eighr counties showed losses
running as high in one instance as
12,724.
The next FIVE years should be ban
ner ones for this state ii only a broad
view is taken of our prospects. Some
Of the papers appealing to class preju-
dice advance the remarkable argu-
ment that more people means an adj
vance ip the price of land. Farmers
actuallHhave been heard to make the
point that they did not want to en-
courage immigration because II would
make it harder for them to~acqaire
land at low prices for their future
needs. pore.
This argument was offered in op-
position to the immigration bill when
it was pending in the legislature last
winter. OF course, the alternative Ct
progress is TO to stand still. Senu,
ment, however, in tlis state is over
whelmingly in favor Of advertising its
advantages, reaching out fer more
capital and securing nor settlers to
assist in developing its great re-
sources.
North DAKOTA is proud OF its in
crease Of 5000 or more in the las,
five years. but every effort should be
made to double and treble this mum
her within the next five years.
The population OF South Dakota in
1910 was 583,8s8, as against 1888
in 1915.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1915-09-15

koma is explained by the fact that it
was not opened for settlement until
about 1900 ana not admitted as a state
until 1907.
1T is evident from these statistics
that the Northwest needs more PEG
pie. How to bring in a million or
more settlers in this territory IS the
problem Of today and tomorrow.
There are two things necessary for in
creased business and greater prosper
ity, and these are, more people and
more capital. To bring in a million
or more settlers OF the right class,
who are prepared to invest and be-
come thrifty farmers or merchants,
and scatter them throughout the
Northwest is the work that all these
states should take up in earnest.
In the North Dakota census report
mention is made OF a few counties
that SHOW losses in population Tor the
past five years, and or this the re-
port makes this comment: NO req
son can be assigned for this loss fur
Their than the fact that nc effort has
been made to induce settlers to come
in The little that has been done in
all these states is infinitesimal com
pared to what should be done to ad-
wise the outside world OF the re-
sources, climate and opportunities
here in the Northwest. The entire
subject is one for all interested to
take up in earnest and organize, some
cooperative plan Of campaign. 1t is
time to get busy and boost the North
west and tell the world what We haze
and invite settlers to move here and
share in the abundant prosperity that
nature has helped man to create.
at is high time to cut out the an
tagonism to outside capital shown By
some OF the insurance and other cor
poration laws passed by some OF the
northwestern legislatures. Quit
knocking business BY flirting with BUS
baiters and trouble makers and
cultivate a fnendly attitude toTard-
farmers, merchants and CAPT
This is the lesson for North
to take from its meagre in
crease in population, and for all the
Northwestern states, as well.

MORE SETTLERS.

The Conmelc ial West has this time
ly editorial on immigration:
"The state of North Dakota has just
issued its 1915 census report, which
gives a population Of $4,000, against
$4,000 in 1910. This is a gain Of
$4,000 for that period and If maintain.
ed for the next five years the per-
centage Of gain for a decade would
be only about 20 per cent. AS North
Dakota made a gain in population OF
rs per cent in the decade IRON 1900
to 1910, there Is much disappointment
and dissatisfaction over this small
increase shown for the past five years.
North Dakota made the best showing
in that decade of any Of the north.
western states, Montana coming sec
ond, with over 50 per cent, South Da>
kota, As per and Minnesota about
2osper cent increase.
These four states in 1910 had a
M -
population OF $500, 900. AS showing
the marked difference between the
settlement of the Northwest and the
Southwest, the four states west Of
Kansas City, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tex
as and Colorado, had a combined pop
ulation Of 100000 in 1910. The per-
centage Of increase in these states in
the decade from 1900 to 1910 is re.
markable only in the one state Of Ok.

same growth as Minnesota; Colorado.

THAT 7 LOAN.

United States has been ior almost a
year the general supply house OF
Europe. The next natural economic
step is for this nation to become her
banker also. It has become inpera,
five that some scheme Of credit be
evolved to facilitate the large pur-
chases Of var supplies anc foodstuffs.
Every line Of business, tnd especially
the farmer, is interested in the ne
gotiations in progress in New
York between the leading bankers OF
this nation and the British-French
commission.
The general plan upon which the
loan viii be made has not been deter,
mined. James J. Hill, n common
with other bakers of tie middle west,
is insisting that the movement Of
wheat and other produces OF the farm
be taken into consideration. This &C.
ton is Of immense importance to
North Dakota farmers and to the gen.
eral prosperity Of the state.
This statement OF the Empire Build
er will be endorsed generally by the
bankers and financial men of the
Northwest:
ANY loan that is arranged mist
cover not only credit for munitions q.
war. but provide fund. FOR the pay
.ment OF grain and other commodity
exports. If the loan we're intended
to be used only for the payment Of
war munitions it would not, in M
opinion, meet with general response
in the Northwest.
"On the other hand, a credit loan
intended for use in paying for all com
modities shipped to the two countries
would be popular in my section, and
there is every indication that ever
the smallest western banks would
give it their heartiest support"
The loan doubtless will be the big
gest of its kind ever foated in this
country and denotes the movement o.
the financial center Of the world from
Threadneedle to Wall street.
Settlement in gold is proving cum,
bersome and the piling up OF large re.
serves in the New York banks is re-
garded with some concern by the
fnanciers Of the nation. There is
such a thing as getting too much gold
on hand.
Our business vita Europe has
reached the stage where the bankers
Of United States must determine how
much shall be settled for by gold or
temporarily through the granting of
large credits.
Judging from the condition of for.
e!gn exchange and liz attending diff.
%culties, a credit of large dimensions
seems almost inevitable II the trade
between this nation and Europe is to
continue unlampered and the flow Of
our products, both OF the farm and
factory, is to be facilitated.
The establishment of a loan under
proper conditions will, Of course, al.
low United States and other European
nations to finance their purchases on
the ordinary level Of exchange.

Big Trunk Lines Want
Modification of Ruling

Application was made to the Public
Service Commission to-day by repre-
sentatives of a number of railroads of
the State for modification of the ad-
ministrative ruling making one way
tickets good in either directions. The
alton deferred for thirty days at the
request of the Trunk Line Association
so that a hearing might be held. A
similar ruling was also made in the
Philadelphia commuters case and has
been in effect in that service for some
time.
To-day's proceeding was to secure
a change so that railroads might make
tickets good in either direction at their
option, when there was demand for
1t or when certain circumstances justi-
fed it. No decision was given.
At the hearing were c. L. Hunter,
vice chairman of the trunk line asso-
citation. and these traffic officers OF
railroads: Wallace. Erie; Cullen. of
Lackawanna; Mccarthy Baltimore a.
Ohio; Osborne, New York Central;
Hope, Jersey Central; Lee, Lehigh Val
ley, and Comstock. Bessemer and Lake
Erie. The Pennsylvania and Reading
did not participate.
The commission will adjourn to-
night to meet Tuesday in Greensburg.
No decisions will be given this week

night when 1t was found that young
| Kennedy was in a dying condition.
He Immediately gave notice to the su-
ipervisors that in the future when in
jured persons are brought to the
hospital by other than the police
the names of every person accompany
ing the patient must be recorded
The accident which stirred up the
hornets nest happened directly in
front of the boys home. With several
other boys, Young Kennedy was roller
skating. Grove, with his jitney was
enroute to Steelton. The boy, accord
ing to Grove skated directly in front
of the automobile and was run over.
He was picked up by William Mar
shall and John Marshall who placed
the boy in Groves automobile. Tice
McCabe who resides near the Kenendy
home and who witnessed the accident
accompanied the injured boy to the
hospital.
THE boy was unconscious when he
reached the hospital. He had frac-
tured skull, a broken left leg and in
ternal injuries. His parents were
sent for at once. An operation was
impossible because of the boys con-
dition.
Detective Joseph Ibach who investi-
gated the accident for the police de-
partment said he had learned that
the accident had not occurred through
negligence on the part of the driver of
the jitney. He secured the names OF
several witnesses whom he had not
located.
At the police station this afternoon
in the presence of Coroner Eckinger,
Colonel Hutchison and Detective
Ibach, a statement was made by Grove.
He said
"I was on my way down South
Cameron street about o'clock.
did not have my beacon lights burn
ing. ! sounded the horn at Hemlock
street, and did not see the boy until
hit him. I stopped within 80 feet,
went back and took the boy to the
hospital l went to the parents this
morning and told them the story. 1t
was an unavoidable accident" Groves
statement was taken as satisfactory
and no prosecution is likely to follow.
The victim of last nights accident
was a favorite in the neighborhood in
which he lived. The funeral arrange
ments will be announced later.

Son of School Director George w.
Kennedy, who died from injuries re-
ceived when hit by jitney last night.
The lad was the idol of the Washing
ton Fire Company members and the
picture shows him in his f1remen's
suit. School Director Kennedy is
prominent member of the Washes"
newspaper reporter what action he
was going to take. 1t was then found
that Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison,
chief of police, was also in ignorance
of the death of the lad. Both Coro-
got busy at once, It was when the
got busy at once. 1t was then the
Coroner asked the hospital authorities
for the name of the man who had
brought the boy to the institution that
the laXity of record keeping at the in
stitution was discovered. The hospi-
tai authorities frankly admitted that
they had not obtained the drivers
name and had no idea where he could
be located.
Coroner Eckinger told the superin-
tendent, William M. Condor that it's
direct violation of State law not
to get the names of principals in ac-
cident cases. and suggested to the head
of the institution that in view of the
| fact that the Harrisburg hospital is a
State aided institution it might be well
| If the State laws in this regard were
obeyed.
The coroner later said that the Ken.
nedy case is not the first instance OF
failure of the hospital to get names
in accident cases and that much time
and effort have been spent by inter
ested people and the authorities to ar.
rive at the facts as a result. Before
leaving the hospital the coroner TOLD
the superintendent that he will in
struct the district attorney to imme-
diately institute an investigation into
the methods of the institution.
This is not the first time there have
been violations of the State law pro
viding that names in accident case,
be secured by the hospital when ad
mitting the patient" said the coro
ner. II intend to see that the law Il
obeyed in the future. How are we ex
pected to do our duty If we do not ge
the information that belongs to us?"
1T is the duty of. this hospital tC
inform me or the police authorities
whenever there is an accident in which
a person has been fatally injured.
shall make a complete report of thi.
to the district attorney at once
There are some other things which the
public ought to know about this hos
Ipital."
Superintendent Condor replied tha
il is not always customary at the hos
lpital to get names of people bringing
patients there in automobiles. He de-
clared that frequently people refuse tC
| give their names. Mr.. Condor saiC
in fact he himself knew nothing of the
case until this morning Mr.. Condor
