water at high tide. but they press brave

years this method has been used. though
every winter the storms tear up some of

HOW TO TAKE THE CENSUS.

Chicago Times Herald.
The present system of taking the CEN
sus Is about as near being crude as 1t Is
possible for the finite mind to conceive
And, If 1t were operated by any other
institution than the great and glorious
United States, it would be abandoned
before citizen were enumerated.
1t requires nearly a decade to take the
census of the United States and terrific
ries. If energetic Intelligence marked
the work, the whole job would be COM
pleted In week. OF course, to accom-
plish this would necessitate a radical
change in methods. but it would pay in
the end.
Take for an example, the work Of OBJ
tanning the voting strength of political
party as practiced successfully by both
organizations in Chicago. Under the
system devised by the managers, the
whole city of Chicago IS canvassed and
the returns are sent to headquarters in
a week. The captains of precincts are
told to go out and find the party's nu-
merical strength. Though handicapped
by many obstacles, these faithful servants
of political machine perform this work
in the time allotted. with a degree Of
accuracy that is remarkable.
Suppose the federal government, fol-
lowing this system, should appoint one
man or several men,. if necessary. to
u.
He or they would report to an official
corresponding in authority to the politi-
cal ward boss, He. in turn. would report
to the chief census official of the city,
just as the captain of the political ward
club reports to the executive committee
of his party. If his position in the fu-
ture depended on his efficiency and
promptness. the population Of Chicago
could be in the hands of the census bu-
reau in Washington within week after
the work began.
This system would be an improvement
over the present rule in more ways than
one of expediency. 1t would make ims
possible the spoils-gains, which is prom-
inent feature of the existing system.
Moreover, the census would be published
in time to be Of some service to the living
generation, which is more than can be
said of the census taken under the laws
of today.

Gov. Lind directed its attention as need

there is the clerk of the supreme court,
whose arduous labors, mostly performed
by clerks, get Il compensation exceeding

RUDYARD KIPLING's FATHER,
He Has Crossed the Ocean to Visit
His Sick Son.

His Sick Son.
NEW. YORK, March ga gray-whis-
kered old man, small in stature, wearing
spectacles and a-light tweed inverness,
landed from the White Star line steamer
Majestic today. The stranger gave his
name as J. Kipling. and in reply to a
chance question, said he was the father
of Rudyard Kipling. He said that he
had Travelled across the ocean to see his
sick son, and. thai, upon reaching Quar-
antfne, he received a message that the
patient was rapidly improving. About
himself, the vold gentleman declined to
speak. but, when the question of the
Nv Whiteman's Burden was touched, he
remarked:
.I live in country place and, of
course, anything could say regarding
expansion cannot be considered In any
sense official. But I can tell you how
the plain people Of England think on the
subject. They are watching with the
most intense interest every move that
the United States Is making in the Phil
ippines. They realize that, If the sur
plus of American products is directed
toward the far east, it will be better for
them. They want the United States to
hold the colonies which 1t has wrested
from Spain, and open them up to the
business of the world"
After getting his luggage passed, Mr..
Kpling hurried to the Grenoble hotel
He was at once taken to the room
where his son lies ILL.,. Their meeting was
an affectfonate one. The father was al
most overcome by emotion as he en-
braced his son, and it was some few
minutes before he was quite calm enough
to converse. The father did not remain
more than half an hour. 1t was thought
best by the physicians and nurses not
to submit the son to great strain, and
the elder Kipling readily acquiesced in
the wisdom of this decision He said he
would return to the hotel tomorrow
morning.
