CITY AND COUNTRY'S SHARE OF THE POPULATION. The census bureau in classifying the population of the United States as city dwellers and country dwellers, fixes a certain dividing line. According to it all persons living in cities of 2,500 population or over are urban, while all persons living in the country or In towns of less than 2,600 are rural.
From statistics of the 1910 census compiled on this basis, some interesting fact can be learned. For instance, the oft-repeated cry of back to the farm Is found to be fully justified. The drift of population from the country to the city is continuing at a constantly increasing rate. It should not be understood, however, that the number- of people in the country is actually growing less this is the case only in a few states but that the rate of rural growth has decreased when compared with the rate of urban growth. With all the present-day advantages of country life and with all the attractive ways in which they have been presented, the lure of the city seems as strong as ever. But it should be remembered that the townward drift of population has been noticeable for more than a generation and that so general a current can not be turned right about in a short time. However that may be. the census figures are but added evidence of what thoughtful students of our country have often pointed out, namely, that the problem of the city is the crucial problem of the civilization .we have built here, and that if we fail therein we are likely to fail altogether. But signs are plentiful that the cities have awakened to their great responsibility and are making more than a surface attempt to perform the service he nation expects of them.
NO CORONATIONS HERE. Sumner Curtis, in his Washington dispatch to the Chicago Record-Herald, writes that there is a movement on foot in Washington to make the inauguration of the next president a pageant that will outdo the coronation of George V. According to Curtis, the business men of Washington, D. C, want to commercialize the inauguration of the president. They propose delaying the inauguration until the weather is more seasonable, a suggestion which is not a bad one in itself, so that the crowds will be larger. If the country has heretofore witnessed the short form of Inauguration they propose now to substitute the long form. The pomp of pageantry is to be in evidence everywhere. It is safe to say that if official Washington attempts to foist such a threering circus on the people of the United States this alone will be the final argumen in favor of the expulsion from office of those who are responsible for 6uch a suggestion. It must be a queer state of mind into which official Washington has got Itself. Should such a project even be attempted it would be an alarming evidence of the decadence of the old-time democracy and the rise of an official governing class that could compare only to the bureaucracy of the king doms and empires of old. It has been said that official Washington suddenly forgets that it comes from the people, following its arrival in the capital city, and while certain brands of Watsonian oratory tickle the patriotic senf-ibilitie of the Hoosiers at home, they have no place in matter-of-fact Washington, except in the Congressional Record. If Washington decided to make a pageant of tne inauguration of the president, the people will firmly believe that the average man in official life is Dr. Jekyl in Washington and Mr. Hyde at home. Every American with a spark of patriotism about him looks with con

nation of a king. A coronation pageant is repulsive to the American people because it is the very antithesis of democracy. It is not surprising then that the American people should angrily taboo an attempt at a cheap imitation of an institution such as the coronation. The
inauguration of a president is a simple, solemn ceremony and It should remain so until the people of this country decide that the republican form of
government is a failure and that a return to a monarchy is advisable.

J BANK MERGER HELPS. Gary's banks have been reduced from seven to five as the result of two merger deals, one this week, and one last week. There is no harm done. On the contrary there has been a suggestion that the city has been just a little "over-banked." The latest merger will result in a strengthening of the general banking interests of the city. As for new banks, Gary is now comfortably eupplied for the next three or four years.

Editor Times: On the answer which was published in The Times on Saturday, October 21, by Rev. Bognar, wish to state to the public, that It is not his own, but it comes from somebody else's pen and mind, because I know positively that the great priest knows how to raise trouble, but does not know the English language and under these circumstances could not write up an answer as such. Again I am compelled to make the statement which I have made once before, that Rev. Bognar has to use a mask, otherwise he cannot get alonsso he is now again using the mask and with that he tries to repair his mis' chiefs before the public. Now first of alj as one, I would advise him as an ingrate, to go to school and get some instruction in the English language, and after that come out with an answer, otherwise it is 'a very poor policy for anybody to use somebody elses mind and pen. or to pay for the translation. If the Rev. Bognar thinks that he is able to clear himself out from the mischiefs by his nonsense he Is very much mistaken, because I know that he Is marked up for ever by the "Protestant people," and not only this, but he marks himself in his own statement
when he says: "That Catholics should not be members of a society based on religion to which non-Christian members are admitted." This shows how much Rev. Bognar knows about the
function of a Y. M. C. A. which we have all over the country. After this statement It Is hardly worth while to discuss the matter with such an Ignorant man as this Catholic priest Is, because he cannot understand it. On the other hand by saying that ha did not mention that the "Cathoiic people were the only Christian people" is a big mendacity on his part as a priest and for this reason I want to refresh his mind again with another incident which happened In our city some time ago. When Mrs. Livak has passed away Into glory, and the meantime her relatives called cn Rev. Bognar to burv her and they called on me as well to ring the church bell for her honor and when the so-called only Christian priest heard the bell he said: "If that pagan church bell will not be stopped I will not bury Mrs. Livak. If you would ask him about this Incident he would again say It is not first hand knowledge, but we do think somewhat different about the matter. As to the S. B. societies flag and to the whipped boy, wish to say only this: For both of these Incidents Rev. Bognar was punished, and this can be proved by the Prosecuting Attorney, and this ought to be sufficient proof to anybody. I have many incidents like these, but I will ignore them now, end will come out with them latter. This don't 'mean that I am now done with Rev. Bognar. No! The incident on my part is not closed! As a Protestant minister I can not do it, I will fight the thing to the extreme. . REV: EUGENE VECSET. Up and Down in INDIANA DEAD HOC STOPS. SEWER. A sewer in West Third street in Rushville has been cloxged up for mors than a month, and it was found Saturday that a red hog weighing 250 pounds was the sole cause of the trouble. Workmen had taken up about a hundred feet of the tile when they made the discovery. Apparently the hog wandered into the sewer through the open end, walked as far as was possible and then could not back out. BANISHES PtBLll- DRIXKING C'l'l. The board of health at Greensburg has decreed that the public drinking cup must go, and it has gone. Hereafter only those provided with Individual drinking cups will be able to make use of the public drinking fountains at Grensburg. It has also ben decided that where quarantine were established in diphtheria cases members of the family must either remain In or out of the house. Heretofore adults, especially wage earners, have been allowed free access and egress. Since tSie disease has attacked so many adults It was deemed best, to adopt more stringent measures. TELLS WHY OltCHARDS FAIL. The orchard demonstration given a. f.ong Cliff at Logansport yesterday under the auspices of the extension department of the Purdue experiment station was attended by 200 farmers from every section of Cass County. Talks were given by Prof. M. W. Richard and Prof. H. J. Reed, the former giving a talk on pruning, cultivation, cover crops and fertilization, telling of the decline of the orchards over the state and giving as the reason that they were sodbound and the trees in a starved condition. The Long Cliff orchard was turned over to the Puraue specialists a year ago as an experiment. BIRDS PLENTY DOGS SCARCE. As the open season for quail approaches the sportsmen are feeling more keenly the scarcity of bird dogs in Bartholomew County.

It is believed that there Is an organized gang of dog thieves in Southern Indiana near Columbus and that valuable dogs are stolen and shipped out of Bartholomew County.
