has served two years in prison-the term of his
sentence-for no greater crime than stealing
a few chickens.
But at least the summary refusal Of the
court to hear the appea. serves as a pointed
rejection of the brassy theory Manton put
forward-a theory which, if even tolerated,
would certainly have gone far toward finally
destroying the confidence of the people in the
courts.

we ought to do something about our interior.

American families are growing

Is increasing. Pointing fout that
these changes have important eco
nomic implications, the Census
Bureau announced today that the
number of families in the United

average size of American families
has dropped from Al to 3.8 persons.

families in the United States, since
they are obtained by dividing the
number of families Cor occupied

preciable number of persons who are
not members of private families, !"
the Census Bureau said. Persons
in private families represent so large
proportion Of the total, however,
that the trend of the figures from

While GROWING Smaller

During the last decade. the aver
age population per family has de-
creased three tenths of person, as
compared with decrease OF two
tenths a person during the period
from 1890 to 1890. Thus the decline
during the depression" decade has
been half as great again as the
average decrease since 1890, when
American families, according to
census figures, averaged 4.9 persons.
The figures released today show

that the average family In the Dis
trict Of Columbia in 1910 had 80
persons. the same as 10 years ago,
and a fraction above the national
average. Maryland families since
1880 have decreased In size from AZ
to SO persons Though Virginia
runs to larger families than Mary

ade has also decreased-from 4.6
to 4.3 persons.

about the type of people we nominate
on July 16 and elect in November.
All of us have worked hard to bet
ter pensions for the older people. We
have made progress but the road is
still long and full of detours. Our
chief difficulty is to secure officials
county and state-who are sympathe-
tic to the general pension idea. Too
many of them feel that old age pen
sions will take away from their sal
aries. They chisel the aged wherever
possible. We must have officials who
believe in square deal for the old
people; who believe that the time
has come to face this question hon
estly.
To this end Liberals" of Montana
have drafted the man who can do the
job honestly, fearlessly and efficiently.
