HARD TO PLEASE NEITHER Niw York Lor Roston Is sntisfied with the population figures giveu out bj the Rureau of the Census. The Roston Chamber of Commerce hns called a meet'iig to protest, nnd Mayor Hjlnu. of w York, has asked for the figures for a district in each borough that he mi) test them by a police canvass. Each city thinks thnt it is bigger than the official figures indicate. New York, which grew fmm fl.i:t7.000 in I'.MIO to 4,7(1(1.000 Iu 1010, now con tains n population of .1 0 J 1.000. The increase in the last tui jenrs is only Ciii.OOO. whereas in the previous ten venrs the gain had been l.S'J'l.OOO. The New Yorkers do not seem to be nble to understand vvh there has been n check 111 the rate of growth. The people in the rest of the countrv can find n reu cii Iminigiation at the rate of 1.000.- 000 n year was going on before the war. A mnjoritv of the immigrants landed in New York and a large percintnge of r'lim staved in thnt dt.v Immigration virtuallv (i used when the war began and emigration cniried awn as man ns immigration hi ought in. So the giovvth of Nw Yoik. so far as it Is affected by immigration, ts icallv its growth for the five vmrs from HMO to 11115.

Rut it is notorious thnt in states where there is n local census tlio popu lation tigiip nre alwavs greater than those shown bv the federal census. The annual permitnge of increase in popu lation shovvu bv the state census is rarelv justified bv the figures of the de cennial misiis conducted from Wash ington Tin re is little doubt thnt when the figures nre civen out for Philadelphia it will be fiund that the are lower than the optimists have been expecting.

THE TOO-READY REVOLVER TRAiilC events of tlio last few dujs In Philadelphia point strongly to the need of curbing the promiscuous cnrrvlng and Uhe of firearms. Since Monda.v the news columns have recorded the shooting of Joseph ,T. Stevens, 1 barged with desertion from the armv, without what at this time appears to have been a leal attempt to take him Into custodv ; a gun fight between two police officers over somu trivial affair, ami the wounding of n joung woman during a water-front riot. Familiarity with firearms invanabl breeds (ontiinpt. but iinfortunntelv the contempt is generally for the life of another, whether that other be a part to the quarrel, as iu the case of the officers, or an innocent xictlm, as in the case of the gill. Certain it Is that pistols are too easy to obtain and that the restrictions governing thnr posse sion and use nro either too lax 01 too leniently enforced.

LEDGER PfflEADELPHIA; THUKSDAY, JUNE 3,7, 1920 THE GOWNSMAN Holp the Farmer? OF LATE there hns been some talk of the farmer; nnd some! talk back. First of all there docs not seem to be enough of the farmer, nnd whnt there Is of him can't work or won't work or don't work It does not matter which. The neglected acres tell the talo nnd they tell the truth, for any ono con see thnt they He not nt least under cul tivation. Shnll we of the city give the farmer help? And does ho need It? Could he use help? Docs he want us or nnythlng thnt ho has not got? The larmcr says that It Is the fault of cap ital which takes the laborer from the fields and employs him In factories. Rut the laborer Is not much employed, nt least In one sense, even In factories, and when he remains In the country he lnbors only half the time ho used to give, at only double wages: wherefore, there Is only hnlf ns much done as for merly nnd twice ns much paid for It. In a certain New England township there were onlv n limited number of men who could work nnd would work. The war has diminished their number. Not thnt many of them were killed In buttle, but that the spirit of work has been some how killed within them. Some have drifted to towns where more is going on ; others hnve become confirmed In the habit of going nfishlng; and in fish ing the chief delight is that there is no work except for the Imagination. WHEN people nre mad for luxury even necessities must be curtailed. Win giow more potntocs thnn you can cot even if they do bring fivo times their old value when you can turn the old barn into a garage, furnish gnso line nt a couple of cents nbove the mar ket rate and. Joining the profiteering clnss. barn n trade tinkering with other people's cms at n handsome profit? Why blame the farmer? There xvns once n classic village somewhere In which ever body lived by taking In his neighbor's washing. In the New Eng land of todav. the (townsman has re inniked severnl hamlets In which 1 would seem thnt ever body makes his living by tinkering his neigh bor's auto or at least his inotorojcle. The motor is the sjmbol of our civili sation In Its present state of decline. The whole idea is to be going somewhere and the Gownsman rntlier suspects that he knows whete thnt Is and at n rate faster than somebody else No old saw is o tiile now ns "the devil take the hindmost." Our eagerness is ns to wlmh "hall iciifli him first. Rut let us return to the fanner. NOW the Ciownsmnn is n bit of a farmer himself. He has harnessed n horse in the dim historic past of horses nnd driven ns inanv ns two of Him. not tandem, but with no very seilous damage to the horse, the road or himself, lie 1ms never milked a cow; nor even a goat, though he has ridden one. He hns never plowed anything except the sen and thnt is metaphor ical , nor hns lie hariovved anything ex cept a ellow dog in ills not the dog's youth, when he not the dog was learning to piny the violin. This har rowing was verj well done. The (towns man has sown sieds and waited for them to come up He is still wniting for some of them He hns met too manv hogs in his day to have ever fallen under the slightest temptation to keep an ; besldis lie hns on abiding aversion to the Raconian theory. He hns mowed 11 lawn with a dull mower and without profanit.v He hns swung a bcjthe without hinting the grass very much nnd "swathed" witli n cjele or is It a bnklcV In subinis&lou to the truth he ionfisis that he has never shocked wheat, but his farming hns otherwise shut Id d his neighbors. And if not wlnat. h' hns sown enrly in his springtime a icrtain well known variety of oats, and he is still lamenting re. THE (lovvnsnnu as n farmer has not been too busv to observe somewhat the arduous lnhois of his fellow coun trv men He hns sat beside him oncl beside tier, and the cider was some times linnl lie hns whittled n stick, balanced on 11 fi ni e rail, loitered in the bnrn nnd chinned in the store; and he has had under observation "the chaw ing of tobaccy." He knows that the overwoiknl lountr.v horse nlwavs stops for n rest when he meets another tenm. Even the I'ords have caught the trick. He knows that no true farmer ever wets his f. ot in morning dew or even ing show ei . that no man piopcrly bred 111 the countrv ever vvoiks if it rnlns or looks like rnin or is likely to rain to morrow 01 nixt du.v The Gownsman knows the louutrv 1 infusion over rail road lime nnd sun time nnd daylight squandering time nnd how the time whu h gets n man up latest in the morn ing and drops hun oT his" job dullest mi the nfternoou is the true country tine Von (bservnnt Gownmnii has Warned that h" who is skilled in the swilling of swine values his services and the seniles of his innn nnd his maid his ox nnd his ass and of everj -thing that is his, even nbove the price of 1 ubies, that his eliargo is for n ten honi dav mil that he works intermit I tenth during six that lie sedillouslv as 'lerln'iis the highest prices current In Rostmi or Philadelphiawhich, inno 1 1 nt lon-iunur, is a matter far worse j foi tlut dav, 1111 1 lidding transporta tion, handling nnd "overhend expens 1 is 'doubtless the cost of lipciilug in I the sun or In fold storage adds up the ' total us the aitual prue of his truck 1 furnished to u next door nii.-Mior. who iali sruu foi the stuff himself ut thnt to git it The Gownsman hns obseived that uiiliss vou are u farmer .vourself fn sh veget ibles in the countiy usunllv ome lu enns, if thev ionic at all.

AND yet theie appeals to be n very real trouble The Sawyer of Amer oncm nftir all has given the world n jolt and some of us senntnrs and the like have been knocked silly.

SHORT CVTS General Humidity got the nomina tion yesterday. Porch parties arc going to be pop ular in Ohio this season. Provost Smith has graduated into tho leisure he has justly earned. There's no blamed moderation nbout June. It Is either a bake or a blow. Mr. Mitten Is willing to do his little bit to make July 1 unpopular.' Edgar Fnhs Hmlth Is n distinct acquisition to the leisure class. Legitimate charities will approve of tho proposed ordinance to regulate drives. Senator Harding's speech of ac ceptance will perhaps make clear cer tain diplomatic obscurities In the plat form. The city authorities are apparently of the opinion that charities and auto mobiles arc In the same class in ono respect and that all drivers should be licensed. When the Delaware Legislature failed to ratify the suffrage amendment the Dcmocrnts blamed the Republicans. Now thnt the Louisiana Legislature has also failed to ratify, will they blame thcmsclvos? The shooting of a nlnc-yenr-old girl yesterday during a riot incidental to the Etrike of longshoremen draws nttentlon to the regrettable fact that any foot or knnve may buy 11 revolver ns readily as he may purchase n bag of peanuts. Women hnve been urged to eat less enndy nnd pastry in order to bring down 1 the price of sugar. Old Mnn Necessity has on occasion been known to conserve sugar, but young Dnn Cupid never. He Is the orlginnl candy kid. It would nppcnr that the Strap Hangers' League is not sufficiently well organised to cope with the P. It. T. In the matter of street-car tariffs. This is surprising. Iu the past the members hnvo nt lenst shown their ability to stand together. Sooner or later national conven tions will do away with s.vnthetic en thusinsm run by the clock nnd will nominate candidates without manufac tured hunahs but that th Democrats hi San Francisco should initiate the reform is too much to expect. The New York Tribune has discov ered that it was the Republican sena tors that kept Wood out of the White House. Which calls to mind thnt nu otlier wise philosopher In "As You Like It" ome di covered thnt It was the piopeity of water to wet nnd fire to burn. The retirement of Dr. Leo S. Rowe from the faculty of the University of Petins.vlvniiin depiives the institution of the services of one of Its most active professors, a man who interested him self in a multitude of things outside of his classroom. If more professors would broaden their interests their ability to arouse enthusiasm in their students would be increased. The Day DOES God ever see the clock?
