THERE is NO DANGER FROM INVASION

After dismissing as silly rot the
question of possible invasion of the
United States by foreign power, the
Farmers Open Forum, in its Janu-
airy number. speaks of another dan
ger which is threatening this coun-
try, in the following terms:
There is, however, danger that
now threatens; one, and only one
danger; that is, that the farmers and
laboring men of the country may be
swept from the solid ground of ra-
tional opinion by the shrill chorus
Of an organized claque, that has priv
ilege contributes to the noisy event.

penditures excuse for wider, heavier

If we were to stop all immigration.
we should go on multiplying as China

once called them. No matter how
many of us there may be in the fu-

We have hardly got used to speak
ing of our national population as l00,-
100000. 1t is less than a year since
the census bureau assured us that
those rotund figures were justified,
and most of us still use them with
a sort of mental reservation. And
now the census experts assure us
that we are already safely past that
mark-that on Jan. 1, 1916, there were
1Ol ,208,315 people in the United
States and that on July there will
be l02.0l7, ,302 people in the United
States.
1t is impossible to think of these
rapidly mounting figures without a
feeling of wonder and awe. In one
year we are gaining more than half
as many people as there were in the
whole United States when the repub-
lie was established Soon we shall be

the eastern territory, for instance, the
brakemen will receive the muni6cent
sum of $267 for regular freight train
service. out of which he must main
tain his family at home and take care
of himself at the other end of the
road. The lOO-mile trip is what repre-
sents one days work and means that
at its expiration the man must lay
away from home until he is dead
headed back or returned with a train.
The conductors in all classes of road
service receive approximately one
third more pay than the brakeman.
The difference between the wages of
the two is easily estimated.
"To be specific, the wages paid in
freight service in the eastern terri
tory are as follows:

fremen. $2.45 to $3.40, according to
