POPULATION OF NEW JERSEY

United States census figures of the
count of population made last year
show that in New Jersey there has
been a remarkably steady increase for
the past ten years and the yearly
average of increase is nearly 61,873.
The present population of the State is
3,155, 900, an increase of 311 ,558 over
1915 and an increase of 618,733 over
1910. Between 1910 and 1915 the in
crease was 307,175, and between 1915
and 1920 it was 311,558.
Mercer County shows steady in
creases in population. From the ten
years from 1910 to 1920 the increase
there was 34,244. Between 1910 and
1915 the population went up from
125,657 to 1882, an increase of
14,155, and from 1915 to 1920 it in
creased from 1882 to 159,881, a
gain of 20,069. The increase for the

Federal Reserve System In Danger

During the Presidential campaign
Governor Cox repeatedly gave warm
ing of a purpose among Senator
Harding's political hackers to under
mine the Federal Reserve act. Sena-
tor Curtis, Republican whip OF the
Senate, fresh from a conference with
Senator Harding, now confirms Cover
nor Cox's charges.
The scheme, openly fathered by sen,
ator Curtis, as he describes 1T, Will
look to establishing the original he,
publican program of a single cenCral
bank with branches" This is nothlng
less than the Aldrich plan OF a single
central bank which was rejected at the
time of the adoption of the Federal
Reserve System. 1t is the kind OF CEN
trail bank under the control OF large
private financial interests that Re
publican standpatters in the Senate
advocated and sought to establish.
Because they were welded to the idea
of a central bank, they voted, with
few exceptions, against the Federal
Reserve act. Evidently their hopes
have been revived by the events OF
November 2, 1920.
There is nothing in the Republican
platform to justify this program Of
destruction. At Chicago the Republi-
can party cautiously declared The
Federal system should be free from
political influence, which is quite
as important as it's independence Of
domination by financial combinations"
But the Old Guard in the Senate is
again assured control after March a,
with a Republican House and a Re.
publican President. The leaders OF
the Senate are men who favored the
Aldrich plan and voted against the
Federal Reserve Act. They DO not
feel the need of direct authority under
the Chicago platform to return to the
original Republican program OF a
single central bank" :.
It is a dangerous move, for 1t
threatens the very foundation of the
Federal Reserve System, which a
saved the people of the United States
from financial disaster.-New York

TO PRESERVE OLD
OREGON


The navy department is considering
presenting the old battleship Oregon
to the state of oregon as historic
relic. 1t had been the intention to
utilize the obsolete vessel as a target
for the guns Of the fleet or to sell
her as scrap. but Assistant Secretary
Of the Navy Roosevelt says those plans
will probably be abandoned and the ia
nous ship turned over to the state for
which it was named for permanent
preservation.

THE SAD PLIGHT OF AN
EX-EMPEROR

Former Emperor Charles OF Austria
Hungary will ask the council of the
league of nations to perfit the restora-
ton of the old monarcy in Hungary,
according to a dispatch from Vienna.
One might say that Charles has his
nerve However, he is going to the
right place to make his request. He
will get his answer in a hurry and in
the negative.
Things have not been well with
Charlie during the last few weeks.
He had promised Switzerland that he
would leave that country this month;
but up to the present time he has
not found any other country willing
to entertain him. Consequently the
ex- emperor and ex-empress have
been given permission to remain in
Switzerland until the last of October.
But the hard luck doesn't end there.
Mr. Hapsburg had thirty-one million
crowns in a bank at Zurich-and the
bank failed. So Charles had to sell
one of his country homes near Vienna
in order to make ends met at his cas-
tie in Switzerland.
The trouble with Charles is that he
insists on playing politics and all the
world knows it. If he would try to
be an ordinary respectable citizen in
stead of going around looking for a
throne he probably would find con-
tentment and there would be no lack
of countries to offer him home.-Des

have happened, as heliurn bags would
have brought the ship down in safety
even in sections, just as water tight
bulkheads IN a steamship win enable
her to reach port after a collision.
Major Van Nostrand was sent by
the war department as an official OBJ
server for the army on the trip of the
dirigible to the United States. That
/ ne was not a passenger on the vessel
on her final test flight seems to have
been an act OF providence. and his es-
cape from death is. indeed, cause for
gratitude among his friends both in
and out of service.
Although the zR-2 had not been
accepted formally under the contract
with the British Air Ministry, several
payments had been made by the Unit
ed States towards the cost Of construc-
ton. Under the lasy and by naval
custom no material or vessel is con-
sidered to be within the jurisdiction
of the department until it has been
finally passed upon by inspectors, or
completed prescribed tests and for
mally turned over. Under this rule,
title to the zR-2 would be considered
to have been wholly with the British
owners.
The hangar which was built at
Lakehurst, n. j., to accommodate the
giant airship upon her arrival here in
this country is 500 feet long, 264 feet
wide and 200 feet high, this height
being about the same as the average
city structure of is floors. It cannot
only hold two ZR airships sos feet in
length, but it can hold two dirigibles
with as much as 100000 cubic feet
capacity. It is built of concrete and
steel and glass, the glass being amber
colored to avoid certain rays injurious
to balloon fabrics. This structure is
covered both on the inside and OUT
side with strips Of corrugated asbestos
for fire prevention. Two~1ines of rail-
road tracks run straight through it.
A most striking feature about this
hangar is its sliding doors, a pair at
each end. Each half door weighs 900
tons and requires two 25-horsepower
motors to move it.
Far from being discouraged by the
disaster, Naval officials, 1t is said. will
seek authority for the construction of
new ship of the ZR-2 type in the
United States. Admiral VIM. A. Mof-
felt, Chief of the Naval Bureau of
Aeronautics, is quoted as saying that
I'VE viii carry on, build and operate
as many zR-2's as may be authorized
by congress, so that these brave men
will not have lost their lives in vain"
From such disasters as this" says
the London Times, "aI human enter
prises have risen more fully equipped
for success, and it will be so with
the airship."

PROPHETIC TELEPATHY

There was a note of impending dis
aster in many of the articles written
about the ZR-2 We saw a descrip-
don paper dated around July 1. In
that description the author referred to
disaster that happened to another
dirigible in England
In the Commercial Appeal on Mon
day there was an Associated Press
dispatch about the big machine and
between the lines one could read a
tone of apprehension But the most
amazing is an editorial from the New
York Herald printed on the morning
Of Aug. "a. It Is as follows:
WHAT Ais THE DIRIGIBLE9~
Dispatches from London indicate
the morning of August 2. It is as
follows:
States bought for $4,000. 600. is not
only not in condition to make irnme-
date flight. but may not be brought
across the Atlantic this year.
AS the public has a pardonabIe GU
riosity nowadays about the things it
is paying millions for it would be well
for the navy department to state the
reason. for the delay. It was rather
surprising to most laymen that the
government should have purchasd at
such a price, a dirigible abroad when
it is obvious that we soon must make
such airships ourselves: and the Yam
KEGS are good hands at such work.
Let's have the official up and down.
as the slang goes, on the ZR-2 and its
hesitancy."
The big dirigible was destroyed
about twenty-four hours after the ink
on the article IN the Herald was dry.
Prophetic telapathy. warning against
disaster seemed to run around the
world. The crew made up both of
Americans and Englishmen carried on
and went to their doom.-demphis
