Washing toms Steady Growth.

An estimate is made by the Bureau
oi the Census that by July next the
population Of the District of Columbia
Will be $4,000, This is based upon
computations Of growth as indicated
by elements with which the bureau
deals in mid-enumeration counts. The
latest Official count. made in 1920, gave
q total Of 4S7,57l residents in the Dis
tr;ct II the present estimate is sound
the gain since 1920 will by the first of
July have been li4.So0. or at the rate
Of I4.3G0 a year. If that rate is MAIN
tanned TO the end of the census decade
the population of the District will in
the rext decennial enumeration be ap-
proximately $4,000,
Il IS not the ambition of Washington
TO become an enormously large city. In
the first place. there is no space here
for the comfortable accommodation of
such vast numbers as are included in
the municipal boundaries of the larger
Cities Of the country. There is not the
industrial organization here to support
such great population. Those bound
aries cannot be extended. They are
axed and definite and If there is an
overflow. such as is even now in evi-
dence. it will be into the neighboring
States OF Maryland and Virginia. which
viii get the enumeration credit Of the
growth that actually pertains TO the
Capital
But the steady increase in the strictly
local population. confined as to resi-
6ence within the boundaries Of the Dis
trict. is a remarkable phenomenon. in
view Of the lack Of industrial opportu-
mites The newcomers are attracted
here by the superior residential ad-
vantages of the city. The Governments s
forces are no longer increasing at the
abnormal rate caused by the wartime
emergency. They are rather In state
Of depletion. having fallen from the war
peak Of 10000 70 between 10000 and
10000. as against the pre-war maxi
mum Of less than 10000.
Certain advantages Of residence are
manifest here. Students are coming
here TO enjoy the educational facilities
Of the Capital. Researchers engaged
II studies on technical and historical
lines are making this city their home.
National organizations are establishing
their headquarters here for administra-
t!re purposes. bringing numbers OF
workers who make Washington their
permanent dwelling place. These ac-
cretions increase the demand for SerV-
Ice. Retail business increases in keep

When turbulent waters have swept TO

derous purpose to report them, and
thus perhaps to stop the execution of a
malevolent design.
Human life is regarded lightly In
these times and is wasted wantonly. It
is easy for grievance-nursing person
to obtain deadly weapon. The laws
against individual armament for GRIM
inal purposes are so slack that any one
can get gun without difficulty In
this case a valuable life has been sac
riticed through negligence on the part
OF those who heard the threats and In
consequence OF the opportunities which
the laws afford for murderous prepara-
tions.
