Elsewhere in todays issue of The Star
will be found a statement of the work that
is being done at the Central Union Mis-
sion towards the amelioration of the con-
dition of the poor unfortunates of this city
who have no other shelter than that which
its hospitable roof affords. The Institution
needs funds to liquidate the large debt that
vas incurred when it was forced to seek
more extensive quarters in order to ac-
commodate the great demands upon it's
space. The current expenses of the mis-
sion have run beyond the revenue, and
there Is pressing need for more money if
the good work that is being done Is to con-
time. The departments which cause this
drain upon the treasury are those that
give the most return to the community in
the way of better lives, and it is, there
FORE, urgent that all citizens who recognize
the value of this moral agent should at
oEce contribute their mites to aid an in
stitution which has achieved so great a
success in every branch that it is today
the center of great national mission
movement. The function of the mission IS
not alone one of religious revival, although
that is the fundamental thought in all its
work. 1t aims TO bring about the better
ment of individual lives, to eradicate evils
that tend to degrade the man and the wo-
man, to rescue the vicious, and to reform
the sinful and the morally weak members
OF society. great good work is being
done every day in the midst of that black
corner of the city where vice is practically
licensed, and there is reason to believe thar
little by little that filthy section is being
cieansed. If the people of Washington
think that this is a good movement, that it
is deserving of support and encouragement
this is their opportunity to give substantial
EXPIRE ssion to their sympathy, for dollar

commissioner Carroll d. Wright, the SUI
perintendent of the census evidently thinks
that the American people are in danger
OF being surfeitedI with Information about
themselves and there is reason for beIiev-
ing that this fear is well founded. He is
an advocate OF the plan of a permanent
census bureau that will enable the gov
eminent TO enumerate the people per.odi-
ca!ly, but he does not think that there is
any necessity for such frequent compila-
lions of general statistics as have formed
principal feature of census takinss OF
the last two or three decades. The Star
has more than once urged such a change
as would give the government a Well es-
tabl.shed bureau, that, being permanent
would not be subject to political changes
and to the accidents of partisan admins
trations. 1t is essential. of course, that
the statistics of the growth and develop
NEXT of beth the population and the in
dustries OF the country should be regularly
secured. but their value Will always depend
upon the measure OF 'credence placed in
them by the people themselves. The
chances of perfectly fair and unpreju-
diced census would be greatly increased
# the work should be placed in charge of
q non-partisan bureau that does not aim
10 satisfy the desires OF political cam
pdiSn managers, and is not glutted with
inefficient material in the shape of thous-
ands of appointees who chance to have in
huence. division of the census that
would enable the government to make
a count of heads every ten years and main
tain constant current system of indus
trial statistics would probably produce far
better results than the present plan. which,
as Commissioner Wright well says, gives
the people so much material that the pub
lie haze hardly the time to assimilate it in
diligently.
