With the announcement of the
country's total population, the Bureau
of the Census, under Director sam
l.. Rogers. has accomplished only a
portion of its tremendous task which |
will continue to occupy large force
Of statisticians and clerks for the
better part Of a number of years.
But the primary object, for which
the fathers Of the country provided
in the constitution that a counting
of the people should be made every
ten years has been achieved. That
object was to obtain the total popu-
lation in order that apportionment OF
the members Of the house of repre-
sentatives may be made by congress
That apportionment, as soon as Di-
rector Rogers certifies to congress
the exact number of people III each
state will be taken up by the mouse
of representatives at its coming ses-
sion and during the coming year the
body will by law fix the number OF
congressman from each state. There
has been discussion as to whether the
membership of the house OF repre-
sentatives, now fixed at 435, should
not be reduced as that number is con-
sidered by some parliamentarians as
too large and unwieldy body. Peo-
ple of some states are fearful that
their representation in the house
might be cut down and oppose any
reduction.
In 1890 the number of representa-
tiyes was fixed at IS, each repre-
senting approximately 10000 people
The number has increased with each
decade, based on census returns, un-
Ill each of the present 435 members
Of the house represents approximate
llv 2l1,S77. The actual ratio of rep
resentation varies from SO,293 IT
Nevada to 22S,O27 in Washington

Population of the United States Passes
one Hundred Million Mark: Immisratio n
from Old World Shows Marked Decrease

Washington. Oct. S.--The total pop
ulatiop Of continental United States
is 105.ss3, los, an increase of 49,,
7l0.s24, or l4.9 per cen1.
This figure does not include ap-
proximately 12.250.oO0 living in the
country's outlying possessions, The
population of Alaska and the total
classed under the military and naval
service abroad are yet to be an
nounced.
Director Rogers OF the census bu-
reau In making the announcement
of the country's population, said that
while the figures were preliminary
and subject to correction, the final
official population as transmitted to
congress in December for apportion-
ment purposes was not likely to be
greatly different. although II might
be slightly larger through the addi-
tion of population for small sections
OF territory claimed not to have been
properly canvassed by the census
enumerators to January and which
are now being investigated.
Washington, Oct. THE growth OF
the country's population was not ex-
pected to show so large a relative
increase during Tho last decade as
during the previous decade ended
with 1910, because of the almost com
plcte stoppage of immigration dur
ing the world war and the heavy
emigration during that period. In the
decade ending with 1910 the tota
population of the United States. ex
elusive Of its outlying possessions, was
91,972,2G6. During those ten years
the numerical increase was the larg
est of any decade in its history whil
the rate of growth was 21.0 per cent
The gain in that decade was fou
times what the total population o
the country was in 1890 when tn
first federal census was taken, Will
the total population In 1910 was al
most 90 times larger than it was il
1890.
With the outlying possessions, tn
United States in 1910 had u populatio
of 101,ll5.4S7. These possessions in

The usual charge is made that someDouy III flor-

overcrowded that the prices high, that strikes
are interfering with local affairs, and all that sort

But Miami assure the Havana News that there
is organized effort here to keep tourists from
going to their city. On the other hand there is an
organization here that promotes excursions to Ha-
vana and other points that island And another
thing. Miami does not feel that it is being deprived
of tourists that stay is heightened here by
attempts to run down other cities and sections. As
matter of fact Miami encourages visitors to go to
Cuba not only for their sake. but because when
they go there they usually return to Miami and be-
