When s‘mty is reported as leaping twenty- five or fifly per cent in-populstion it is*immedi- ately included in the prosperous class, while those cities. which remain; pmtieally stationary or. with 1) gains are mclnded in the dnd or nnife ‘r— ey y _ = I! population only’ decided the lhtul “of the : 'moflem city this might be a fair conclusion to srrive A" ' census board readily appreciated that there ‘were very many other items of information desirable ‘when takihg ' the “census i order that the true condition .of a city might e learned. If the standing of a city be made on the basis ot schools and school- prmleges, of :ehgl jties, social’ -dvlnnges, phylical environment, de- cent government and genenl ‘culture many of the so-called “dead and undesirable” cities might rank far above the so-called “live ones” who. are “able to show an- increased: population oi fifty to one hundred per cent. And aftér all ‘is this not the real chalk line by which 8 commumty should be measured? : Many cities have sacrificed some of these higher developments for the sake of an increase in popula- tion and have soon regretted their action. The need today is not that cities become larger. They are too large now. They are sapping the rural “communities -of the best of the young emergy in them. The aim of a real city should not be to enAdeavor to become as large as possible but to endeavor to become as large as possible but to type socially, intellectually, physically and morally. Instead of the fact that a city or town cannot grow in population because of some: geographical or other reason being cause for a hopeless attitude on the part of its citizens, they should apprechte the opportunities at hand to outstrip their more bustling neighbors by the cultivation of those civic virtues and the establishment of moral standards ' Filing ]P’ershmg S Overseas Records - 7 ness: makea good census showing.

It is indeed refreshing to see how manycities in the United States are denying the bogus president of this bogus commonwealth recog- nition or place to speak. Hate for Great Britain should be’ q\uuntmed and confined to the other side’ of the ocean. What right has the United States to meddle with internal affairs of her late distinguished ally? Many citizens ignorant of the facts have ‘wasted sympathy on the supposed woes of Ireland. Our Anglo-Saxon cousins have great need of patience.
