- Borne and Health.
Dr. Evans, the Chicago health ex

of healthful conditions la the home
as the first essential to sanitary con

While there Is nothing unusual In

how people seem to be more Indiffer

. Former Speaker Cannon baa i sort

ha aa -annual production of thirty
tno,ut$ftd'BUliiofci . of dollars, more
tfia. per eeptrofv.wbieb la con
sumed'' by (he people' of tB United
Ptatei. It la a very commendable sort
of habitant thi time when so much
unwarranted fear about the future of
the 'country Is .being - thougatleaaly
modthed. . - : . . ,; '
This ' tafttOOviOOb.oeO-producUon
'is more" thath oneSthird of the output
of tbe-clvilleed world. The staggering
figures Bait make ' all ' Amerkant
proud of tbeir country, of tbe hound
less reeoarce and energy that make
possible such a stupendous showing.
Onr population la a small fraction of
the world, evea onr territory ts but
a.jkath across on continent Surely
aotiilng serious can - be the matter
with our country so long as, tn Its
Infancy, it I tuning out more than
one-third of what the world produces.
A significant fact o remember, too,
Is that we are consuming 90 per
cent of this stupendous output, hav
ing but 10 per cent to market abroad.
We must Increase the output, gigan
tic as It is, for sooa the 0 per cent
may not bo enough- for home con
sumption. Certainly 19 per cent ts
not excessive for the foreign trade
of a nation like ours. Bnt tbe Ameri
can people are not Indifferent to this
situation, as they are evidencing In
their work for greater efficiency, for
Industry and Intensive agriculture for
tbe farm. A nation aa young aa ours
aeed not become apprehensive wbea
it has but begun to scratch Into Its
natural resource.
The American lickaame.
Americans are inveterate habitues
of the nickname. They apply It to
about everything and everybody. The
president of the United States Is not
too big to escape. Our states and
cities all have their alcknames. Th
boy from the time he is old enough
to take bis place Ib tbe middle of the
dusty street with a doxen other Ju
veniles goes by soma otber name
than the one his parents gave him at
his birth. It is a parody for every
thing. It Is on tbe stage, In polities,
business and sports.
What Is the spirit? Not ridicule.
not cynicism, not always a lack of
respect. No people have more sane
respect for their country and Its rul
er than the ' American people, but
they are very practical about It
They are a happy, u a worried, faat
golng sort, upon whom the power of
the vernacular Is tremendous. But,
more than that, Americans ar aa
expressive people and vernacular
phrases are decidedly so. They
seem to have coined a new vehicle
for thelc thoughts, a street langaage
that ta responsive to overt demand
and much mor flexible and fluent
than th mother tongue, from which,
however, they sever stray perilously
far.
That onr blcknam habit and onr
vernacular have tbeir attraction for
other I shown by ths readiness
with which our friends from other
countries, oven the oriental, with bit
cumbersome and complicated lingo,
adopt them. And yet. what a re
freshing relief It roust be to some of
these newcomers to get away from
their native tongues and find expres
sion la something oven no mor ele
gant than American slang!
Some Farm Figorei.
While ther were 114,138 more
farm la the United State and 40,
lOd.oll acres more of farming land
under cultivation than in 1100, the
percentags of Increase In the number
of farms .and the total acreage waa
below the percentage of Increase la
population on the Whole, or In th
urban centers. Our back-to-tho-fsrm
movement, therefore, receives
only partial- stimulus from these
st Hixtics. The moat encouraging
fact Is that ths acreage of Improved
land In farm showed an increase of
18.4 per, cent, which wis greater
than tbe other ratios and yet less
than either the general or urban
population gains, which were re
spectively II and 14.8 per cent. The
rural population showed a gain of
11. 1 per cent. Discouraging a this

le even worse than It appears, tor In
rural" population Is Included the
entire population' outside of Incor
porated placet, comprising New Eng
land "towns" of J, 600 or mor In
habitant.

say nothing of others. In going on

Convention Procedure. .
While current interest n) the ap
proaching national president-nomi
nating conventions ft almost at white
beat It is plain that many erroneous
impression are prevalent aa to eon-;
ven Hon procedure aad 'methods. All
these conventions are delegate con
ventions; that tfe, mad up of dele
gates sctlng In their . representative
capacity,: is contradistinction to a
; coaventtos tn which everyone
who attebds may participate. .To
insure an orderly assemblage with a
definite membership from the outset
It Is necessary to kav a temporary
roll of delegates Who are entitled
prima fade to seat. The only body
duly authorised to act for the whole
party tn making up this temporary
Iroll la the national committee, which
must pass in first instance upon all
credential presented. Where there
ar more clalmants"tban the number
apportioned to any state or district
it devolves upon the committee to
determine aa between them which
shall go upon the temporary roll,
and that roll wbea completed be
comes the groundwork for the tem
porary organization of tb conven
tion.
Ib order that things may Bet be
left to go at haphazard tb custom
baa grown up for the committee of
th parti ea respectively to select
some capable and distinguished party
leader to be recommended to the
convention .'for Its temporary chair
man, although H always remain tor
tbe convention to accept that recom
mendation or to substitute another.
If a question is raited upon th tem
porary organisation the will of the
convention la takes by roll call, hod
the roll call It the temporary roll
mad up by th national committee.
Tb thole of the convention I then
Installed aa temporary chairman,
which position he holds until the
permanent 'orgsntratloa effected,
over which be may, or may not, b
retained to preside.
This ts tbe procedure that hat
been evolved by our party system for
tb organisation of political conven
tion, and ft la th procedure which
