Five Cities in Million Class

Five American metropolitan centers are now in the
-illion class. and practically all cities Of 10000 popu-
Iation Or more have shown tremendous growth in re-
cent years, a recent estimate BY the federal census bu-
reau discloses.
Headed ~ New York, with a population q ~69l7,50o,
the five million-cluss cities include Chicago, 3,l5T.i0o'
Philadelphia, ~2.OG4.2oO; Detroit, 1,37s.SoO. and Cleve-
land, 100000.
A growth in population was indicated for nearly
every one Of the cities in the 10000 population class
reported. though one Of the most famous city eenters,
Manhattan Borough in New York City. was estimated
to have lost 100000 between 1873 and 1928.
San Antonio leads all Texas cities in population,
according to the estimate. which places the San Anto-
MO figure at 2Is.lco. with Dallas q close second with
2f7.sO0. No estimate was given for Houston. which Is
believed to be very close to that Of the two leading
cities. Fort Worth ranked fourth with a population
of Z 0,sOo.
The census bureau explained that it's 1928 estimates
were based in part on calculations on population
growth rates indicated in the 1920 census. by the re-
suit Of intervening state census returns. and by studies
of local conditions. Notwithstanding. in the case Of a
few cities the bureau refused to make any 1928 esti-
mate because Of annexation or because or "excep-
tional conditions Of growth" or because OF indicated
population loss.
The 1928 report listed 262 American cities having
more than $4,000 population in 1920, and for most Of
them gave the comparative estimate of their total IN
1928. The number Of cities Of this class showed a
heavy increase. and the percentage Of gain was heavier
than in the larger metropolitan centers.
After the leading five cities, the estimates showed a
large group possessing more than 100000. The list
included st. Louis, s4S. 100; Baltimore, $4,000; Boston,
roo 900: Pittsburgh, 673,s0O; San Francisco. $50. $780,;
Buffalo. 55O,s0O; Washington. $4,000; Milwaukee. 544.-
ooo No estimate was given for Los Angeles. which in
1920 had a population of 5I6,673.
The estimate indicates there has been no decline in
,ho trend from the rural to the urban centers. The
cain in the rural sections and smaller cities has been
.or;rs, many sections showing a decrease, whereas
-...,;caIlv no city Of 10000 population in 1920 city

-. 40 400 mark in the eight years that have elapsed
.;ne. the last federal census.

Other Papers
MR.. BoRAH's EXCESSIVE ZEAL
Chicago Daily News.


Senator 8orah of Idaho, the most distinguished
member of the so-called insurgent group Of the repuo-
lican party, because he is nc strict partisan and oe-
cause he Is an unusually effective speaker, exerts ex-
ceptionl influence when he supports n regular candi-
date Of his party.
Mr.. Borah is supporting Hoover. despite past dis
agreements and criticisms Of measures advocated BY
Hoover. It Is Of course silly to argue, as some persons
have done, that the Idaho senator can not consistently
urge the election Of the man who, as Food Admins
traitor Hoover, he opposed at times ten years ago. New
occasions teach new duties. and changed situations eff
feet all sorts of realignments.
But Senator Borah should beware of excessive zeal
in his present task. In asserting that the national cam
paign is "a contest between law and order nd Tammany
Hall and it's allied influences" he INDUCES in sheer
buncombe. He should leave that sort Of thing TO the
small fry.
There is Of course no such contest. Governor Smith
and his chief supporters are as law-sbiding and as
sincere in their political beliefs as are Mr.. Hoover and
his chief supporters. Neither party has a monopoly of
virtue.

Would Brand All
Sheep Of Texas

SAN ANGELO, Tex, Oct. 10.-P)
Belief that some statewide system
for branding sheep must be reached
Is gaining strength in the ranch
country as instances arise where two
~ranchmen in the same county have
the identical brand for their animals.
There are several methods of
branding sheep. The wool brand is
placed after shesring by dipping n
branding iron in a bucket of paint
and placing il on the body. There is
a practice, gaining rapidly, of fire
branding. usually on the jaw, but
sometimes on the side. Others per-
forate the ear with a brand. All use
what is known as marks, made by
cutting the ears of the sheep while
they are lambs.
A good deal Of fire branding is
done each year after the middle Of
November when the fly time is over,
and the danger of worms has passed.

No attempt will be made to determine the legal
status Of the Muscle Shoals resolution adopted at the
last session Of congress until the courts have had 4
chance 70 pass upon the validity Of another measure
involving the question Of a so-called pocket veto Al
the end Of a long session OF congress.
The resolution was adopted at the last session. bur
was neither signed nor vetoed by President Coolidge.
The resolution went to the president near the end o.
the session and congress had adjourned before the ten
day limit had elapsed.
The question thus presented is now before the
courts in the case Of a bill passed at the first session
Of the Sixty-ninth congress and neither signed nor
vetoed. This bill was designed to give effect to Article
IL Of the treaty made in 1868 with the Shawnee In
dians. Although it was not signed or vetoed, congress
during a succeeding session made an appropriation on
the basis of the authorization contained in the bill. A
point of order was raised against the appropriation in
the house, but the point was overruled.
Muscle Shoals will probably remain in statu QUO
during the coming short session. There would hardly
be time to pass it again during that session adm. any
way, we will still have the same president then.
| am doubtful that there would be enough votes
available TO pass the Muscle Shoals measure over a
presidential veto at the next session.
But during the following congress when the new
members have come in il may be different.
The resolution adopted Mt the last session provided
Muscle Shoals and for the use of revenue derived from
the sale Of power for the manufacture Of nitrates suit
