'-Aa the work of taking the fourteenth census Hear completion It would be well for Asheville : , people to prepare themselves for possible disap pointment In the figures for this city. It must be remembered that Asheville legally does not yet Include In Its Incorporation some thousands of citi Sans who are actively Identified with the city's business and aoclal life and will therefore not be I counted among the population of Asheville, i In 1910 the federal census found 18,000 people - 'Jn Asheville. Since that time there'has been won derful growth, and It has been predicted that the isso ngures would reach 35,000 to 40,000. The city directory for 1920 will probably show a popu ( hvtlon of mora than 40,000. But unfortunately for Asheville's census mark, JBHtmore, South Biltmore, Kenllworth, Woolsey, Grace, are outside the city boundary lines. West Asheville, it la true, is now a part of greater Ashe U1V But it must be token into consideration that In 110 many who now live in the suburb beyond the French Broad wera then living in Asheville, and the gain In total population through the rapid growth ol West Asheville will therefore not be as great as has Seen forecast There has been a grau . trying Increase in population and in commercial expansion, bub s, population gain' of 100 per cent to top much to expect Until very recent times jhers has been a preju- iuw (aaum census inning, me jnew x ork Herald . falls Into error forgetting Numbers,, in referring to enumeration by Kmg David of Israel and Judah as th first census on record, but the Bible narra "tlva bears out the Herald'a statement that the cen sus was unpopular..

In an editorial which until now has escaped our notice the Brevard News says: The Asheville Cltlsen of last Sunday in an editorial intimated that what Brevar'd ought to have Is good roads Instead of a railroad. Of course we want good roads but there are few farmers who own a motor truck to ship their produce to the market and the voters of Transylvania realize that until we get on a main line there Is practically Utile use in piling up bonds upon the taxpayers and dem onstrated that opinion by the enormous land slide against the road bond issuo of two years ngi. Naturally both Buncombe and Hende.raon counties realize that a through railroad which would put Brevard on a main line would put them in second place for the rest of time. They also realize that the real scenic grandeur is to be found in Tfcuinsyl vanla county. That Is why our beautiful waterfalls, placid valleys and magnificent mountain scenery in used by their advertis ing experts. What the Citizen undertook to say was that If the proposed railroad which would glvo Brevard through railway connections should turn out to be lmpracrtcable, a motor highway from Brevard to Greenville would bo an enterprise well worth while. If the plans for the railroad are promising,' by all means let them be pushed to completion. This paper realizes that whatever develops the resources of Transylvania county will stimulate the develop ment of every section of Western North Carolina. We do not fear that the upbuilding of Transyl vania will put Henderson and Buncombe In the shade; we do not believe that any one county has or can have monopoly of natural resources arid attractions. If we're outstripped In the race we deserve it. ' The advertising campaign which Asheville has carried on In the principal centers of population of America has, we believe, helped materially to make all Western Carolina better known to tho world. This city cannot, hope to claim all the scenery or to entertain all the visitors. Its adver Using literature has told the story of Asheville, but It has not neglected the mountain region around it. There Is glory enough for all; plenty of opportunity for all In developing the resources of the hills and valleys, aa well as in making the sec tion a playground f6r millions who have no moun tains. THE SCISSORS ROUTE WHAT THE SENATE IS FIGHTING. TREASURES OF SEAS A SPUR TO DIVEOS (New York World.) ' With the treaty of peace in full force sinre last Saturday and the league of nations holding Us first session yesterday in Paris, i is permissible to remind the United States senate of a few things which seem to have escaped its notice. The senate's quarrel is no longer the President. The treaty Is no longer subject to amendment, it is a contract duly executed and absolutely binding upon Its sinners. The covenant of the league of nations is no longer u. tentative program, it Is an accomplished fact, and what Is more, the l.'nlted States is subject to It and, whether a member or not, may at any time llnd Itself under arraignment at Its bar. Article XVII. of the covenant provides tliiit in the event of a dispute between tt member i.f the league and a state which is not a member, or be tween states not members, the slate or states not members shall be Invited to accept the obligations of membership for the purpose of such disnule. subject to tho rules governing the league, if n !

The title Is "Something the Enemy t'Nava Did." t.

I Washington comment on the admiral's criti- clams recalls that long before the great war was !" threatened President Taft rebuked Admiral 81ms for an Indiscreet address delivered In Ixindon. The warning "not to let the British pull the wool over 1 four ayes" is regarded as partly jocular and partly ft warning not to let his admittedly, warm pro J British feelings lead the admiral into further in , cautious speeches out of place on the lips of an , admiral in tho navy. Whatever was the motive for that remark, It was part of a confidential con .versatlon between officers planning a war program j against the enemy. As such its publicity at this , time. When foreign nations are looking with anx I ious queationing for a declaration of America's at ; tltude on grave international problems, can only do harm. Admiral Sims has stirred up controversies with various naval officers before he attacked the gen , era! policy of the navy. Sims asserted In substance that tha British navy was chiefly responsible for tha safe transportation of American soldiers to .Franca. But when the figures were submitted in Tthat dispute it was found that Great Britain has ( convoyed slightly less than 100.000 soldiers. ..When Admiral Sims returned from war duty ;ha gave an account of the American navy's part in winning the' war that thrilled the country, it is to be regretted that the admiral now feels con fatra.ind tn KKtti i .ki.u . . . . - - . ...

Attacking- Representative Government If the accusers of the Ave New York socialists have any evidence that these men are guilty of disloyalty or have pledged themselves to the acts of violence they have not produced it. And it waa the general conviction among members of the New York Bar association that such evidence can not be found that led the association to condemn the action of the assembly by a vote of 131 to 100. This Is the crux of the case. Former Justice Hughes challenged the assembly to prove disloyalty of the suspended assemblymen and then expel them. Speaker Sweet and his defenders claim that they will prove sedition, but it Is becoming clearer that In suspending the socialists without de bate and on only a general charge of affiliation with an organization committed to violence the' assembly struck a blow at the right of representa tion in government. Judge Hughes' knowledge of the law and his unquestioned ability to Interpret legal forms In terms of justice and fair play give his arguments great weight. . He cited In his speech befdVe the Bar association the Kentucky cases of 1887. Con gress refused to unseat men charged with bearing arms against the government, holding that their crimes "should not be suspected merely, but proved by clear and satisfactory testimony." If tha assembly errs. It Is better to lean toward freedom than despotism. Unless the authos of the resolution of suspension have facts which they have so far withheld from the public they can not to the name of representative government un seat men merely suspected of sedition. . peace. There was no boastf illness. There was full appreciation of difficulties yet to be encouraged. Better than all else in such an enterprise, there was faith and hope. Thus the allied powers are irrevocably commit ted to the document as filed In the French foreign omce anu tney cannot eraso or add a svnaote. even what can be accomplished In recover ing the shimmering treasures of gold and silver and precious stones with which old ocean's floor is carpeted. Incidentally, Mr. i.eavltt protests most emphatically ugainst the as-, sumption of world-record honors for i If theywould. If the United States senate amends I any other diving armor than his own. tho treaty with the President's approval, It will have to go to Germany alone for sanction. No other nation can reopen the matter. If the senate con sents to the treaty with certain Interpretations which it may hold do not change its terms, even then the President must accept them or there is no treaty so far as the United States is concerned. It follows that the quarrel of the senate obstruc tionists is with tho whole civilized world. They are at outs with our associates In war. They are at variance with the neutrals. They are bickering jwiin tne nations liberated in party by our armsand by us guaranteed Independence. According to all the evidence at hand, they are at war also with a vast majority of the American people. Why keep up the miserable pretense that threy are engaged in a controversy with Mr. Wilson? they are fight ing the forces of civilization already 'functioning for progress. HERBERT HOOVER. He backs his protest in these state ments: "I not only hold the record for deep sea diving, but for deep-sea salvage. I counteracts 425 pounds of that, leav ing a balance of seventy-five pounds that I bear on the bottom of the sea. Mr. Leavitt regretted that he could not show the armor just as It was when he went down in Grand Trav erse Bay, but, he explained, he had made several important improvements since that descent. "I learned a lot," he said; "in fact, I might say I learned more from my first forty-five minutes actual 'experi ence down on the bottom, In my armor, than I learned from years of theorizing. Take the Jointed strut rods down the sides of the legs and both sides of the arms, for Instance. They were added after my descent." Lewvllt's Diving-Armor. Here he reassembled the armor to show how it worked. The legs and arms, wnicn are very flexible, are made of hard-rolled copper tubing, guaranteed to stand 700 pounds of pressure to the square Inch. "These hinged strut-rods down both sides of the arm," said Mr. Leav itt, "take the pressure from the wrist to casting manganese bronze and ball-bearing which allows the SUGAR and FLOUR bins in beautiful gilt lettered white enameled cans. White enameled Bread Pie and Cake Boxes, Coffee and Tea Cans, Universal Bread Mixers and Cake Makers and a complete line of Household Ware and Kitchen Utensils. - Prohibition's Allies. Police Justice R. M. Wells, of Asheville, does not claim to be a prophet, but his remarks on pro hibition prospects delivered some weeks ago are meeting the confirmation of events. The judge. after several months study "bf'the phyaical and' psychic effects of the new-fashioned whiskey on defendants In his court, predicted that the lncorrl gibles would speedily cfPe from acute poison, and that the rising generation would yield to the Influ ences ot education. Wood alcohol epidemics have brought out un expected testimony to substantiate the judge's theory. And If the truth were known the public would gasp over the destruction that freshly dis tilled, unaged blockade Is working In the vital human machinery. The old textbooks on physiolo gy printed pictures hwrrlble to behold depicting the effects of ordinary grain alcohol on the stomach and other organs. But only a dream Induced by delerlum tremens could do Justice to the reaction produced by most of the market offerings of these days, according to Judge Wells' observations of fusel oil cases which are brought before him. Assistant Chief Prohibition Commissioner Gay lord says that in six years America will be a real Sahara. But if tho illicit product is not retailed in purer form than is current now the people will ! adopt total abstinence before all the bootleggers and blockaders are run down. 1 (New York Tribune.)

The campaign to raise J200.000 for improve ment of the Presbyterian assembly grounds at Montreat is a cause which should appeal to others than members of the Presbyterian chdrch. It would be difficult to find a spot more attractive than the hilla and valleys where, hundreds gather every aummer to enjoy nature and the programs given under the auspices of the Montreat associa tion. The Charlotte Observer believes that Charlotte will head the call for funds to be used partly in the erection of a great auditorium. Says the. Observer: This appeal waa made by the Moptreat association to the church and in turn the church has made an appeal for Montreat, No doubt this fund will bo oversubscribed as It la a great cause especially for the young people of tha church. Each summer a visi tor may find a number of young people who spend the aeason In the association grounds, by swimming, mountain-climbing and many . other amusements. i Senator Overman has introduced a bill in congress looking to the establishment at A.shc- vllle of a forest experiment station. Its pur i pose would be maintenance in the Appalachian hardwood and adjacent forest regions of stlvi- cultural and other forestry experiments and in- veatlgatlons Independently or in co-operation j with other branches of the federal government i with states and with individuals. The object ' of these experiments would be to determine the J best methods for the conservative manage I ment of timber forests, farm woodlands and other forest lands and thus increase the pro I ductlveness of these forests, perpetuation of the lumber and other wood-working and wood-using industries. The appropriation needed for such station is nominal, the sum asked for being only $46,000, and all people who have the great forest Interests of the state at heart will hope sucoess for Senator Over man's well-directed efforts. If $45,000 aid to any appreciable extent the peo ple of the Appalachians to conserve the rapidly diminishing forests, it will be well spent, and Senator Overman plans a distinct service to every body In the country. , The only fault we could attempt to find with his bill Is that he asks for too little and Is attacking the problem of forest conservation piece-meal in stead of really grappling with it. Not even good roads or a merchant marine are mors essential to national well-being that some sort of definite, adequate protection of the forests.
