NEW YoRK's GROWTH.

NEW YORKS population gain in the last
IN decade Is not up to expectation, yet il is sub
stantial.
There are now 854,26S more' residents than IN
1910. These would make a city larger than St.
Louis or Boston. Only Chicago and Philadelphia
have total populations in excess Of the ten-year in
cTement in New York.
Ordinarily, population loss is a sign Of decadence.
This is not true IN the case OF Manhattan.
The residential loss in Manhattan Is testimonial
70 rapid transit. further loss in the next ten
years is TO be expected as the business area ex-
pands and restricts the residential area Of the island
Gains in the other boroughs are the result of the
business and manufacturing growth Of Manhattan.
Without the homes in other boroughS, Manhattan
could not house half its workers. Without means
Of getting the workers out Of Manhattan, business

part
Thanks to certain theatrical producers who, DR..
Staton has heard, purpose to bring to New York

Dr. STATION urges 'tar and feathers and riding

Such method would, Of course, require leader

A NEW SOVIET SHIFT.

A OCORDiNG to an Associated Press despatch
"A from Copenhagen, the Soviet Government in
Russia. has devised a scheme for issuing colored
money notes each month, given color to be valid
only thirty days, after which notes Of a new tint
become legal tender.
II IS assumed the plan aims to prevent the aocl-
mutation of private wealth and TO aocustcm work
cs to spending ali their earnings regularly in Soviet
establishments.
Soviet tyranny Is driven to fantastic shifts to per-
suade human toilerS that the old instincts of per
sonal striving for personal reward resulting in pn-
vate possession thereof and advancement therefrom
are in the discard.
A primitive American statesman and thinker
named Abraham Lincoln once said to delegation of
New York workingnien:
The strongest bond OF human sympathy
outside Of the family relation, should be the
one uniting all working people Of all nations
and tongues and kindreds.
"Norsshoud this lead to war upon prop .
erty or the owners OF property. Property is
the fruit Of labor property is desirable; Is a
positive good in the world. That some should
be rich shows that others may become rich,
and hence is Just encouragement TO industry
and enterprise.
Let not him who is houseless pull down
the house OF Rnothers out let MIN WORK ollr
gently and build ono for himself, thus by
example assuring that his own shall be safe
from violence when built"
Here was plain man who, when President Of the
United States was mot ashamed to confess that
twenty-five years ago was hired laborer maui
ing rails, at work on flatboat-just what might
happen to any poor mans SON"
Said Lincoln:
Il want every man 20 have the chance in
which he can better his .condition-when he
may look forward and hope to be hired
labOrer this year and the next work for
himself afterward and finally to hire msn to
work for him.
'ThAt is the true system"
Abraham Lincoln never set UP TO be social
SerOnomist
But, man for man and system for system, stand
Abraham uncoln with his oId-fashSoned labor the
ones, alongside Leon TrUtzky, with his soldier
driven Soviet workshops and his mul6-oolored
monthly issues Of self-spending money.

NO pEADiIER RESERVATION.

I IRAN JOHNSON admits his willingness to
accept the Republican nomination on plat
form approving the Lodge reservation policy.
Considering that Hiram voted against these same
reservations It must appear to many that the Cali
fornian is extremely anxious to be Presdent-and
that without much regard to the principles he pro-
fesses so vehemently.
However that may be, Johnson's attitude empha-
sizes the relative unmpotancs Of the platform
stand
AT the same time II reveals the paramount I'M
portance of the mental attitude with which the next
President-Republican or Democrat-approaches
the League
If Hiram Johnson is sincerely determined to
wreck the League Of Nations he could accept any
plank which the convention might see fit to adopt
for campaign purposes
He could even accept the adoption of the Gov
enant without changing the crossing or dOtting Of
the oft-refened-to 'T' and "i"

Of discrediing Democratic President has passed.
Next December twoJthirds Of the present Senate
could ratify without destructive reservations, and
the President to be elected IN November could not
prevent the action.
As Mr.. Taft has pointed out, eighty members are
on record as favoring ratification in some form.
After the campaign these Senators can vote their
real sentiments with less partisan prejudice.
But with Hiram johnson, PhiIander Knox or
William E. Borah in the Presidential chair after
March 4, 1921, ratification would be worse than
useless.
Ratification in such an event would be no less
than'a menace to world peace.

: have often read in your good pa
per articles on the causes OF the ex-
isting unrest prevalent throughout
the country: but as 1 sec It as yet
none have struck the real cause.
Mr.. Hoover says II Is tho direct re-
suit OF one thing. Judge Gary says
something else is wrong. Mr. Com
pers claims, as usual, that 1t is the
greed OF the Tloneyed interests. And
Mr.. Palmer claims that It is the re-
suit Of the radical tendencies OF the
sman minority. Many argue this,
others argue that. But how many
have really looked at themselves in a
mirror and said, "It Is 1, my heart
and my soul"
For after an, that Is the direct
cause OF all of our trouble to-day
labor unrest. political debauchery,
governmental disgrace, financial in
stability, and moral degeneracy. 1t is
because we have all hidden our faces,
instead OF wearing a bold front, be-
cause we are compromising with Sa-

all because we have cast aside our
former faith and security IN the
cloak OF the Almighty. That Is Just

night at Brixton Prison, according to a
bulletin ISSUED by the Irish Self Deter
mination League this morning. A physi-
clan is quoted as saying MacSwiney's

some little excitement, and adds that
Generally speaking, the condition for the

cure without half-trylng the SIX electoral
votes of Maine, four from New Hamp-

Republican optimism is influenced by
general conditions prevailing throughout
the country, but specifically by the
5000 majority given for Parkhurst,
who was the Republican candidate for
governor in the Pine Tree State election
last month. 1t is further influenced by
the apparent success of National Chair
man HAYS plan of planting the seeds of
bitterness against the Wilson adminlstra-
ton; the demand for the rescue" Of the
government from southern domination;
the intense bitterness of Irish sympathizers
against President Wilson's League of
Nations, and the gulibility of many
voters in blaming the Democratic govern
ment for the high cost of living, the de-
probation of Liberty Bonds and the irk-
some burden of excessive taxation.
