THE HUMANE SIDE.

What the most of us, down at the bottom, like best about that speech of MT. Wilson's at Indian apolis is the human touch to It. As a review of the acts of his ad- ministratlon, as a summing up or the present situation in so far as it affects business conditions, as a presentation Of the Democratic side of the argument, as de lnl- on of the United States attitude toward Mexico and the weaker nations with which we touch el- bows. as an earnest of our pur- pose to serve the now warning peoples of Europe, when the time for service is come, what Mir. Wilson had to say could not have been better said, and no Pres dent in recent times has had any thing to say that was better worth the saying. The record

An expert statistician of the census bureau says that at 1 o'clock in the afternoon of April the population of the United States of America will be 100, ,000,059. He has computed careful ly from verified rates of increase, and, if neither figures nor figurers lie, there is no escape for his con- elusion. He might, perhaps, be able to state the exact second when the hundred-million mark will be reached But he is too modest for such 8 hair line prophecy. He believes that it is enough to leave his finding in terms of hours The extra fifty nine are somewhat annoying, but they may be ignored as negligible.
 An expert in the census bureau ought to be high authority, but there is another authority at Washington, presumably equally high, who dis agrees with him. This is the actu- ary of the treasury department. Working from all obtainable data, this official declares that the hun dred mark will be reached on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. Inasmuch as he leaves a leeWay Of Iforty-eight hours his statement is not so impressive as that of the Icensus man, who almost fixes the hour
 There is nothing materially signifi- cant in the exact figure Of 1o0,0o0,- 0oo. But jf it is not significant the additional decimal is at least strik- ing. It serves to bring home a sense Of the nations vastness and power. \ hundred million human be ings is number far beyond visual ization. but the mere bigness ot the number is startling.
 Only three nations, Great Britain China and Russia, have greater pop uIarions. And none of these possesses land so we'll adapted for it's great ness of numbers. The British total
 includes it's colonies of many races in a parts of the world; the Chinese are overerowded in a comparatively small area; while the Russia dcm2in is in large part poorly adapted for human habitation. There is still much room for the United States te grow, and to grow with comfort to the people .-Cleeyelard Plain Dealer

Just for fun, the next fellow who tells you that the taxes for water works in twenty years will amount to a certain sum, and that modern conveniences cost too much in the way of taxes, ask him how much he could have saved if he had rem ain- ed in bed twenty years from the tme he was born, and never bought any "modern convenience" clothing. Some of those fellows who are against waterworks for no better reason than outlined above, should have remained in bed, the town wouldn't have suffered.
 One of the stations used by the nightwatehman for clock punching i is located on the inside of the wait ling room door at the local Frisco sta tion This will prove a great ahn- tion. This will prove a great han the waiting room a bed room. No body wants someone interrupting their sleep every hour during the night. The station is doubtlessly highly appreciated by the Frisco off Icials, as it shows the City of Spring dale giving them he same protection as the main busines S section.
 Harrison is going to vote S100, ,000 in bonds for water and sewer sys- tenn, and the citizens there are con- fronted with a proposition to secure their water, and must get it from a spring some distance from town. It is stated that Harrison is underlaid with lime stone strata of 400 feet this feature making their system so expensive. Springdale can construct a sewer and water system for S50,- 900.
 The Washington county delegation af Little Rock seems to be somewhat divided Senator Greenhouse had Washington county exempted from the telephone rate bill while it was up in the Senate, and Representative Jones came back when the bill was up in the House, and included Wash ington county in the bill. Represent ative Jones' actions were prompted by numerous requests from Fayette- vile, and it was doubtless good move; anyway Sprin2dale can't be anything but satisfied, it wouldn't eaange the telenhone rates here any, WAY. However, we can't understand nater Greathouse' action in the natter, he must have acted without daa advice from his constituents.
 
 Lots of people can figure for you just how much money can be saved in twenty years by n3t having to pay . Waterworks or sewer tax. Ask A4=n4xt person who is against water works ard see if they don't tell you the high taxes are the trouble, then ask them just how much the taxes VII be. There is 10. one out of twenty. fl there are that many in Springdale against waterwcrks, who can tell you how much their xes will b9 raised. It seems to ba a sort of
 jingo" that with a waterwcrks sys- tain the taxes are out of sight. Again. ask them how much taxes they are paving at the present time, ard you'll find that they are now "deds- ing the tax assessor with about half their property.

 If springdale would vote bonds for waterworsk it would take almost one year to complete the job; loo To- cal workmen would be employed on the job, all drawing from s1.75 to s250 per day; then there would be the engineers, four of them at sal- ary of s per day. small item alone in salary that would be turned loose in Springdale and a majority of the money would be spent wth To- cal merchants.
