YOUNG SHOULD BE RETURNED. It is to be hoped that the district conference of the Methodist Church having jurisdiction over Alaskan congregations will decide to return Rev. Henry Young to the local pastorate. He has proved himself eminently qualified to fill the position, and has done so with credit to himself and his church, and to the benefit of the local congregation and the community. When he came here two years ago, the charge was admittedly in a serious condition It had lost in membership and in prestige. There was a question of its future that was not settled in a day, or even in a week. In stopping the decline, putting it on its feet and rebuilding its membership and restoring confidence in its place in the com- munity, Dr. Young performed no small task, and in a manner that received merited commendation He has taken an active part in interests out- side of the purely religious and denominational field. His work was broader than that. It included interest in the Chamber of Commerce and its civic program, in fratetnal organizations and in other movements for civic betterment. He has given freely of his time and talents not only for his church and congregation and other religious organi- zations, but to every activity that aimed at a better town. On the basis of achievement his con- ference could serve the church no more effectively than to return him to this field for another term. BETTER TONE TO COMMODITY MARKETS. Glimmerings of a recovery in commodity prices are beginning to appear. Wheat has rallied five cents from its low, copper has not only sold in huge volume but has strengthened in price, -wool has firmed up substantially the world over. How far or how rapid the recovery may pro- ceed is another matter. The longer production is held down the more certain it is that consumption will reach the point of making an impression upon the price structure when it becomes urgent, for cheap money precludes the necessity of sacrificing goods. Of course, business is nothing to brag about as yet. Steel production is dragging, automobile out- put is well below normal, railroad car-loadings are quite disappointing. Nonetheless new building con- tracts and Government projects are being announced with comforting regularity and in due course are certain to exercise a powerful influence toward re- wvival, By summer the business reaction will really have been undey way for over a year, decline in trade having preceded the stock market smash according to most authorities by six months. That is a long enough period to effect a wholesome cor- rection of overconsumption and to permit of a healthy revival getting under way in the fall, CO-EDS WANT SMOKE BAN REMOVED. Co-eds of the University of Washington have asked that the ban against girls smoking on the campds be lifted. A petition with that object in mind has been approved by the Women's Standards Committee, composed of representatives of campus organizations, which remarks that the order is being continually violated. Women in this country generally have attained an equality with men in freedom of personal action. The element of astonishment in this instance is not that the University of Washington's women students violate the ban against campus smoking but that the institution continues to impose such an order in this day and age. The “cigarette habit” has long been accepted by women all over the country. The woman who doesn't use cigarettes is more of a rarity than the one who does. The University authorities could very gracefullly yield to the co-ed petition, particularly since it is ad- mitted that it is characterized more for violation than for observance, POPULATION OF THE WORLD. There are today than two billion human beings struggling existence upon the earth. This is the estimate made by the International Sta- tistical Institute at The Hague, and while it is merely an estimate it is made by an agency that is well qualified to hazard a guess in such matters. Tormer estimates of the world populace contain a still greater element of uncertainty, since none were made by those whose facilities for guessing compare with those of the International Institute. It is naturally impossible to rate accurately the increase in world numbers or the number of years or ages to elapse before the earth’s surface will be filled to its utmost capacity There is enough accuracy in the figures, how- ever, to indicate that the population of the world is growing with startling rapidity and that the old Malthus geometrical progression of human numbers contain a disturbing element of truth.

But there are other reasons why |it is desirable, reasons having to do with better- - [ment of race, improvement of standards arising from individual conditions and circumstances which. however, have no relation to the problem of over- population from a mere standpoint of numbers. | i Great Britain may be able to hornswoggle our E ceded by various means, such as improved med cal ( | | | science, establishment of civil order, curbing { wars, etc, in controlling in a large measure the h rate. But, except in a small minority, he has not at the same time controlled the birth rate which remains very largely on a natural basis There is, however, coming to be realized that the rate must also be controlled to correspond 1 the death rate. t to that end In some countries the move- ai¥ has received government en- couragement.

(Manchester, Eng., Guardian.) It cannot be said that we have hitherto received Ino warning about the intended removal of our lcherished national possessions to America. The usual | procedure includes the announcement, the outery, {the appeal for subscriptions, and, occasionally, the |national purchase of the threatened relic. This |process must have become not only familiar but |frequently successful, for it is now asserted that lefforts are made to hasten the removal of old buildings before the usual procedure can be ap- |plied; it is even said that an old house near Bury St. Edmunds “was pulled down in a few hours and packed on lorries,” and that it was not until| the lorries were on their way to London Docks |“that the building was missed and recovered by | |an organization interested in its preservation.” There !is something slightly alarming about this method jor snapping up unconsidered trifles in the way of an Elizabethan cottage for re-erection in Massa- |chusetts. If a few lorries can carry off a cottage ia fleet of them might manage a moated grange; | (it would be a sad thing if the lads of the village| jrose up one morning and “missed” the manor house, finding only rubble and level ruins where | lone of the stately houses of England had stood | the night before. Could one regard any of our an-| |cient monuments, however gravely scheduled, as| safely | rooted? With enough lorries and a little| organization we might “miss” even Westminster | Abbey and York Minister; these, too, might vanish | |between dusk and daybreak and be on their \-.'ayl {to Southampton before the alarm was raised. As {for a remote and unfrequented exhibit like Hadrian's |Wall, it might be months before its disappearance | iwas noticed; intending smugglers would be well advised to concentrate on such distant attractions; irather than the Tower of London or Hampton |- {court. However, appetite comes with eating, and,) though Rome was not built in a day, it may yet prove possible to remove the Colosseum in the course of a week-end. And can the Egyptian Gov- | {ment feel quite sure that it will remain in per-| manent possession of the Pyramids? The New South. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) | Since the beginning of the century the indus- jtrialization of the South has been one of the most ‘sxgmflcam economic and social movements in the \country. Preliminary reports of the 1930 census | |show to what extent this movement has developed. IThe building of cities at the expense of villages |and rural sections began much later in the South| (than elsewhere, but now the process is in full flood. 1 All of the towns “below the line” have grown| greatly in the last decade. The five leading cities of New Orleans, Atlanta, Dallas, Birmingham and Memphis, combined, have grown nearly 50 per cent., or half a million since 1920. It is estimated that the 12 cities of over 100,000, which 10 years ago had a combined population of about 2,000,000, now |stand at 3,000,000, and that several cities have! been added to the 100,000 class. This exceptional growth is due partly to cen- tralization of the population already if the South, but also to a general industrial influx from other |sections of the ocuntry. It heralds an industrial| empire in the South, one which is already well on| its way to greatness.

Norse Members of the Pantheon. (New York Times.) | With Fridtjof Nansen there passes the last of | the elder male generation of Scandinavian world figures. Among women there is still Selma Lager- loef. It has been, of course, a matter of common recognition how many notabilities the three Norse| countries, with a joint population of, roughly, zen} millions, brought forth in the later nineteenth | century. Nansen is a countryman of the most towering figure of them all, Henrik Ibsen. Especially heavy has been the toll of the last three years, beginning with the death of Georg) Brandes. Within not much more than a year we| have had the loss of Amundsen and of Karl| Branting, Socialist Prime Minister of Sweden and, like Nansen, a great worker for international| peace. The Norse race still bulks large in the Noble| prize-winning lists, in science as well as in lit-| erature. In the latter field the names of Hein-| enstamm and Hamsun and Undset stand in not unworthy succession to Bjoernson, Ibsen, Brandes. | But it is doubtful whether even Hamsun, the best, known writer of the North, has impressed himself upon his generation as did the great nineteenth century triad just mentioned. e It “seems that poets laureate were accustomed to be paid in wine which commonly took the form of a tierce or 52 gallons, of the best Canary.
