One Tenth of Us Lives in Three Cities
’ys
1
WASHINGTON — About one-tenth of
tlio people of the United Stntes
live in the cities of New York Chicago
and Philadelphia while more than one-
quarter live In 68 cities having a pop-
ulation of 100000 or more final statis-
tics of the fourteenth census are ex-
pected to show
The three cities with populations of
1000000 or more — New York Chicago
and Philadelphia — have a combined
population of 10145 521 ahowlng an
Increase of 1644347 of about 195 per
cent In the ten years since 1910
Cities having 500000 to lOQOOOO
have Increased from 5 In 1910 to 9
this year Detroit Los Angeles San
Francisco and Buffalo having ad-
vanced Into this class ' ' '
There was a net Increase of 2
In the cities of the 250000 to 500000
class with a total of 13 although
six cities advanced Into this classlfi
cation They are Kansas City Mo
Seattle Indianapolis Rochester Port-
land Ore and Denver ’
There are 43 cities of from 100000
to 250000 this year a net Increase of
12 although 18 have shown Increases
bringing them Into this class
The list of cities having a population
cf 800000 or more aoroe of which have

given below In their order 'of rank
with tlie designation of the 1910 rank
and their 1920 population
Uncle Samuel Is Not a Censor of Morals
N MATTER how wicked a foreign
city may be It Is not the business
of the United States government to
censor Its morals or to refuse per-
mission for American citizens to visit
It
Secretary of State Colby has made
this ruling In reply to a letter from
the board of temperance prohibition
and public morals of the Methodist
church which Is conducting a crusade
against Tla Juana Just over the Cali-
fornia line In Mexico He says among
other things
“Passport regulations applicable to
all points on the border must be uni-
form There Is a strong and Insistent
demand from business Interests near
the Mexican border that border cross-
ings should be facilitated In the In-
terests of American trade and com-
merce v
“For this reason citizens’ Identity
and border permit cards are now au-
thorized under the passport regula-
tions In all cases where there Is rea-
sonable and legitimate need for
crossing
“The department does not deem it
advisable to refuse a border permit
card nor to revoke such card after
Issuance on the mere ground that the
bearer Is performing an act In Mexico
which Is legal under the laws of Mex-
ico but which would be illegal on this
side of the border
“It is not deemed advisable to re-
voke permit cards on the mere ground
that the conduct of the traveler con-
stitutes a violation of good morals as
the department does not wish to
constitute Itself a censor of morals
The determining factor must be vio-
lation of law rather than a violation of
morals”
In a circular the Methodist board
describes Tla Juana as “a city of vice
booze and gambling run by Americans
and supported by Americans which
could be closed In two weeks by
a-change of policy of the American
state department" —
It says the town Is now a mecca of
booze sellers gamblers and others
Is Jazz Real Music or Just Tomfoolery?
IS JAZZ real music? Mario Armellne
'former orchestra leader at a fash-
ionable Washington hotel has ap-
pealed to the courts to decide this mo-
mentous question Armellne contends
tt is not He was dismissed because
he couldn’t play jazz Now he is su-
ing for breach of contract If he loses
In the lower courts Armellne threat-
ens to appeal to the supreme court As
evidence Armellne will submit an ar-
ticle by Harcourt Farmer a noted mu-
sical writer In Musical America He
says:
“Evoked out of sheer sensational-
ism ramified by an Ill-placed enthusi-
asm on the part of the unmusical com-
mercially exploited to the ’nth’ degree
Jazz has had Its day
‘The nation Is tired of jazz Not
only does Jazz deserve to go It Is go-
ing This thing they call Jazz Is posi-
tively one of the most awful and most
Inexcusable of musical sins committed
against the face of the people
“Jazz Isn’t American— It isn’t even
music For a more disreputable sav-
age tiresome hideous screaming piece
of musical tom-foolery had never been
thrust on the public before the red
days of jazz
“If we recall that the persons Im-
mediately Interested In the survival of j
jazz unmuslc are the sellers of It we
are spared a 'deal of conjecture as to
the reason for Its continued existence
even as far as this But jazz has to
he pushed else there would be no gor-
geous dividends to split up
“So the musical convulsions of a
few harmonic freaks have been thrust
upon the long-suffering public until
they accepted jazz for the Identical
reason that they accept any nationally
advertised product — they were forced
to feel that they wanted Jazz and they
got It
“The blatant appeal of the stuff the
exaggerated minor effects the unmiti-
gated noise the purple patches of dis-
harmony — all these elements contrib-
ute hugely to the success of Jazz
scores
“In the meantime we bid a cheerful
an revolr to our old friend Mr Jazz
Play the Marche Funebre please—
and don’t Jazz It”
Literally Hundreds of Miles of Wen
dorful Grain Fields Delight the Eye
1 t— Yields Will Run Well Over a
Billion Dollars
A trip through the whent fields ol
Western Canada may lack the Inspira-
tion such ns one may find working In-
sidiously through his being as he
traverses tlie mountain areas of
Canada rich In the variety of color
and depth of shades that they cast
wonderful In their magnitude their
grandeur restful even although the
streams that flow from their sides
come down with a swish and -a awash
creating a noise that makes one’s ear-
drums beat their last beat Then as
we rest beside the lakes In the clouds
and see the calm and peace which
they enjoy In the midst of nestling
hills we wonder If there’s another
world Care has vanished all we
want Is to dwell upon the scene ut
It was not the Intention to speak of
mountain scenery roaring torrents
placid lakes and restful haunts
Rather we were about to speak of the
other kind of Inspiration that la
aroused as one traverses Western
Canada’s Immense plains grldlroped
with railroads and splendid highways
along whose borders and away back
are to be seen the most wonderful
grain fields The crops of wheat oats
barley flax and corn— yes corn — have
just been harvested the threshing ma-
chines are busy the elevators are
ready — the thirty and forty thousand-
bushel elevators- with three four and
five and more at nearly every station
along the thousand miles of railway
that serve this Immense new area of
agricultural land There Is not a more
inspiring sight than these grain fields
They lead one to pause and reflect
get one into a mental arithmetic
strain and the mind wanders as it
gathers the great length of figures that
represents the Western Canada grain
crop of 1920 A pencil and paper
are needed for the value will run Into
and over a billion dollars At least
that Is what those who profess to keep
themselves ported as to values
believe '
The wheat crop alone will run over
250000000 bushels and If you figure
this at $280 per bushel the price It Is
selling at as we write there you have
$700000000 alone Then there is the
oat crop with a yield of one hesitates
to say the quantities In bushels for
the threshers are reporting yields of
110 and 120 bushels per acre where
but 80 and 90 bushels were expected
but 'their value apart from that of
barley and rye and flax will carry
ns over the billion dollar mark
Of course all this menns — but w
had almost forgotten to speak of the4
cattle and horses the sheep and the
pigs the dairy and many other farm
products the Increase and production
of which this year will bring in many
more million dollars — all this means
that there will be a rush of buyers to
Western Canada this fall during the'
winter and next spring
A certain amount of satisfaction Is
derived by those “back home here”
whose friends are writing them In-
dorsing the statements that are ap-
pearing In the press of whent yields of
thirty forty and fifty bushels to the
acre of oats yielding anywhere from
sixty to 120 bushels per acre Dis-
tricts have not been specially favored
Travel anywhere eight hundred miles
east and west four hundred miles
north and south and It Is the same
story splendid yields good acrenge
