tFrancis H. 6isson in Review Of Rcvewsl
Whatever temporary business reaction may be Witness
ed rs q result Of the recent stock market decline, the
essential factors underlying our prosperity remain un-
changed. Our prosperity Is originally and primarily due
to the fact that ne live in . country Of almost limitless
resources. which are ct the disposal Of . comparatively
sparse population.
How much further our natural advantages will permit
us to 60 In providing m increasing number Of people
with the necessities and comforts Of life. no one can tell.
It has been estimated that thts country can support 500.-
100000 people. and . comparison with the experiences Of
other nations suggests that even . greater population
than this could live within our borders under conditions
far more favorable than have been enjoyed BY the people
Of these other countries In the past. The population
Of the United States 1t present = about - TO the
square mile. IS against nearly 30 In France. almost 400
In Germany. and about 10 In England. II the density
OF population here were equal 70 that Of France, the
United States would contain more than 65O.O00v000 peo-
pie: II It were equal 70 that q GERMANY the population
would be more than l.lsoy00o00o; and II It were equal
to that Of England. It would exceed 1.looOo0Oo0. and
surpass by about - per cent the present estimated
Of the world. u
These figures give . striking. II indefinite view. Of the
possibilities for industrial development and population
growth in the United States. Although IN soma respects
this county may Be regarded . the most highly de-
veloped industrtally In the void. Ia comparison With Its

Soapbox Folly Hardly Crime

This country is so far from having any sympathy WIN
radicalism that nobody seems to be paying any attef-
ton to the three reds who were recently sentenced. At
St. C,airsville, O.. to extended prison terms because Of
their too-fiery uttcrances.
yet that incident Is worth q little study. Il press ais
matches from 81. clairsvile are reliable, the whole affair
seems to have been just q triflc witless.
According to these dispatches. the three defendants
were guilty OF the terrible crime Of circulating literature
In which the United States was branded as militaristic
md in which It was claimed that the countTyS govern
uent was planning for war"
We must be in q great deal more danger of revolu-
ton than any Of US have dreamed = We need 70 nm
prison men for saying things like that.
Surely, Z government that stands on its own feet anc
enjoys widespread popular support can afford to let
men say worse than that without calling on the police
- get busy.
However. we seem rather to have Lost sight of our old
ideals Of free speech, in some sections: and thess st.
Clairsvile reds very likely will not be the last men
to 60 to Jail for their remarks.
II it is q crime to say that the United States Is mill
taristic and planning on war. why were the late Senator
Il Toilette and william jennings Bryan-to mention
only two well-known Americans-never sent to jan9
10th Of them said that on many occasions.
our constitutional guarantee Of free speech seems to
work out something like this; II you are important and
influential you may say what you please. Il you are >
nobody. and especially II you are moving around the out
skirts Of some industrial strife. almost any remark you
make can be made sufficient to send you to jail.
In : way, Of course. this isn't very important. And
yet. in . way. It Is. When We inprison people for say
ing things we dent like, we thereby convince certain
ohccure members OF society that the things these people
were ssying must have been true. We act 8 4 ws had
