Population of Illinois

Illinois has a population Of 7.sSO,2s3. AS for the in
crease over the 1920 census the figure Is LAS. 403.
mostly in Chicago and its suburbs. Texas made a
gain Of more than a million in ten years. Indeed the
increase may be as great as that announced in the
population Of the state OF Illinois.
There is no valid reason why Texas should not
win at least third place in the census count Of 1910.
There is a way to do II. Bury dead issues and defunct
politicians who do not know they are defunct. Give
he people constructive men to enact constructive
laws. Give the people a penitentiary worthy of the
name. Give the people the finest system Of state and
county highways in the American world.
Remodel the taxation laws and place some or the
load on the natural wealth Of Texas.
Make liberal appropriations for the university and
all institutions Of higher learning but cut out dupli-
cation OF effort IN all these institutions. Enforce all
laws and not some Of the laws. Protect capital in its
legitimate rights and while protecting capital do not
overlook the constitutional rights Of the many who are
tillers Of the soil or wage workers in the cities and
twns. Yes: turn Texas loose and give it a chance to
grow.

The Once Over

shooter. He appeared before the Good Roads con-
vention and denounced the mixing Of politics with
road building. He said highway improvements could
be only as efficient as the men operating the highway
departments and charged that political appointments
we're hampering the progress Of road building in the
states Of the federal union.
Another important resolution was adopted when
the convention went on record as advocating that
ten per cent of the annual federal aid appropriation
for highways should be used solely on roads travelled
by rural and star mail routes, Of which there are AZ
600 representing 1880 600 miles in the nation at
present.

CITY of Homes and Churches

Brooklyn has a population Of s~2y594,154. an increase
Of % per cent in the last ten years.
Brooklyn Is a borough Of homes and churches.
There are five boroughs in the autonomy Of greater
New York. Now the republican leaders are going to
adopt the tactics Of Dwight Morrow Of New Jersey TO
make New York state safe for the republicans in state
as well as presidential election years.
That is they are going to nominate a wet candidate
for the United States senate. cut loose from the Anti
Saloon league upstate and do their level best to cap
ture thousands Of erstwhile democratic voters in the
five boroughs OF the greater city.
Republicans use their brains. In wet states they are
wet. In dry states they are dry. They battle for re-
suits and they handle the husks Of office to the demo-
Gratis.

One thing we have noticed dur

dresses become longer they become
lower at the top. and when they
become shor r. at the bottom they
close up at the neck.
In those dear Old crinciine davs.
the dresses swept the floor and hid
everything but the tip ar mv-lady's
heel. But they struck the dear fem
mes around the waist O. the TOP.
And in later years when the
hem Of the dress was irving for
altitude records. the dresses were
strapped under the chin at the top.
One thing We may be able % look
forward 70 Is that the long dresses
may result II altering the women's
present attitude % manliness. With
the new STYLES they viii lock more
feminine. even If they stfIl persist
In shooting husbands and dlErinr
bitches.
Some psychologists have remark
ed that dress affects the woman's
viewpoint. II is a moot question
whether the dress affects the view
point or the viewpoint affects the
dress. but it Is hoped By those OF
the masculine sex that the former
Is true. ard that IN a year CT 70
We may have women again. and not

SECOND MAN WILL
 BE HELD IN PROBE
States Inquiry in Insurance
 Case Involves Johnson

Bentonyille, Ark, April LP)-The states investigation into the fatal shooting of William R. Pearman of Columbia, Mo-, in what it termed was an insurance swindle plot, to- day had brought the issuance of a warrant for the arrest of s. K. John son, Kansas City real estate man.
 Officers announced late yesterday that Johnson was wanted on a felony charge in connection with the death of Pearman, who was found shot to death on a roadside near Gravette, Ark, last week. One man, Dr. A. J. Bass, wealthy retired dentist of Co., three indictments, one of them charging murder of Pearman and two others accusing him of being an accessory before and after the fact to the murder. Pearman carried under an assumed name s2O0,0O0 in life insurance assigned to Bass.
 The warrant for Johnson's arrest was issued after the final report of the grand jury was returned. The jury adjourned after returning five indictments, three of them against Bass. The nature of the other in dictment was not announced be- cause of an Arkansas law making publication of indictments unprivi- legged unless persons named in them have been arrested.
 Police heard from Kansas City last night that Johnson has said he would come here voluntarily for questioning but later Kansas City police advised that they could not find him.
 Officers here said Johnson had been involved in a sale of Arkansas land by Bass to Pearman. Pearman was alleged to have bought the land under the name of William Folta, a Missourian who has been missing for 17 years. It was under Folta' s name that Pearman took out the in Surancc,
