The Surplus Population

"a the Editor Of tho ECeniao PubIic Lrd0er:
s,r--some time ago I road in one OF the
svenlnr papers an editorial setting forth. In
= mIld,y sarcastic way. the difficulties In
.o,yea In reducing the population by doing
away with tho supposedly superfiuous. The
writer referred to Malthusianism. That
oarticuiar 'ism' does not advocate control
ty shedding the superduous population. Nor
does any other 'Ism' OF any CONSEQUENCES
advocate such methods. Such an idea ie
revo,ting 10 human beings.
However. this Is n pertinent question. Is
u more than a possibility thnt the earth
may some day find Itself overpopuatcd? II
ths population increases steadily, even at
a very slow rate, Il becomes only a ques-
(tlon Of time when there Will be more people
10 be housed, clothed and fed than the re-
sources Of tho oarth can take care Of. and
ths answer Is yes" II one wishes the an
swer 10 be NO" then he must supply aoIno
factor that will keep the population from
reaching such numbers. And what shall II
be-, Shall II be wars now and then? Or
shall Il ho pestilcace and epidemic? These
two may. with varying degrees OF satisfac-
ton, be looked upon as fate. over which man
has little control ana Ia not blamabc. TIL
third factor he may supply IN order TO make
the answer 10 the question NO is rG-
tonsi and concerted effort on the part OF
the inhabitants OF the earth 20 keep tho
growth OF population under control.
This method will be unsavory to some be-
cause II will saein az an infringement on
the command BE fruitful and multiply and
roplenish the earth" But disagreeablo as
all methods may seem. the fact remains that
there is question to DO answered. and an
swered Il will bO wnsn the time Gomez. 1t
Will furnish Its own answer II not Furnished
by civilized humanity. II is a problem that
cannot DO avoided. and Il Is one that Is going
70 bs very difficult to answer.

"How Did You Dle7"

To the Editor OF the Euenino Public Ledger:
S!r--S f. Downs. Of Ardmorc. Pa. has
recently asked for poem entitled "Iiow
Did You Take It?' composed by Edmund
Vance Cooke, The name Of this poem is. l
think. 'Iow Did You Dle:' and tho phrase
How did you take it7' is part Of the last
line In the first verse. So probably this Is
what s. Il. Downs has in mind.
WILLIAM G. BEER.
Philadelphia. December 20. 1921.
HOW DID YOU DIE?
BY Edmund Vancs Cooke
Did you tackle that trouble that came your
way
With rssolute heart and cheerful:
Or hide your face from the light OF day
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, troubles O ton, or n troubles an
ounce.
Or trouble Is what you make IL.
And II isn't tho fact that You're hurt tina,
counts.
But only how did you take TT
You are beaten to earth? Well. well. what's
that!
Come up with smiling face.
It's nothing against you to fan down nat,
But to lie thore, that's Disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why. the higher
you bounce:
Be proud Of your blackensd eye.
It isn't the fact that You're licked that
counts.
It's how did you nsht--and why:
And though you be done to the death. what
then:
If you batted the best you could.

Wants Political Prisoners Freed

TO the Editor Of the EvcnirD Public Ledger:
s!r-No action Of any President since the
foundation OF the republic has less justiflca.
ton than the policy OF tho present Admin
istration toward tho political prisoners.
People may here Rnd there disagree as TO
the risht or justice OF their being thrown
into jail In tho first place. but few there
are who now question tho Justice OF iiber-
sting thsm.
Time there was when America was known
and famed the world over for its liberty and
io'e OIL Jubticc. What's the matter with
no people OF this land II they sit supInoly
W ana iail TO protest and protest In such
way to be effective?
IS sorry story that all civilized coun
tiles have long since liberated their political
prisoners. Since when have we become tho
.sst stronghold OF reaction in the universe?
y !, Is up to you. Mr.. Reader, and TO you, Mr.
Edtor' TO Join In the chorus OF voices de-
mahains the release Of some of the noblest
sna pureSt souls In the country.
