Its reason for a reflection that really

That Census Matter.

1t is an old saying that a lie well
stuck 10 is as good as truth. Some peo-
pie over in Tacoma improve on the
proverb and consider the lie very much
better than the truth. Some weeks
ago the people of Seattle were surprised
to learn that the secretary Of the Ia
coma Chamber of Commerce had filed
a protest with the census bureau
against the Seattle census figures.
claiming that he had in his possession
conclusive evidence that the figures
submitted by the Seattle enumerators
had been Systematically padded, in or
der to show a larger population than
was actually resident in the town. The
surprise was the greater for the reason
that the people Of Seattle had no knowl-
edge then. nor have they yet what the
census returns for Seattle really were.
The charge Of having padded the re-
turns. involved the good name of the
city, and prompt action was taken In de-
manding fun and complete investiga-
ton. In answer TO that, an expert was
sent here by the census bureau. He
made a thorough examination of the
Seattle census. had three districts re-
enumerated, and went carefully over all
of the returns. The men who had made
the charges were invited to furnish tes-
timony as to alleged padding. which
they had claimed to have in their pos
session. What was the result? The
agent found specifically that there had
not been any padding whatever in the
census returns, that the secretary of
the Tacoma Chamber OF Commerce had
no evidence in his possession on which
TO base his charges, and in substance
that the whole assault on the integrity
of the Seattle census was without the
faintest foundation, but was simply
an ebullition of petty malice, the ex-
posture OF which must make every de-
cent. self-respectine man in Tacoma
feel ashamed OF his town.
since TINS report was made. the pe0-
pie of Seattle have waited patiently for
the expected retraction. This patience
has not been rewarded. however; for
instead of the frank apology to which
Seattle Is entitled, the Tacoma news.
papers continue from day to day to
make sneerng illusions to Seattle's
padded census. The inevitable conclu-
sion is that the whole scheme to dis
credit seattle's census was simply
despicable trick. Mud was slung in the
hope that some would stick. The petit
ness OF spirit which has been exhibited
by representative Tacoma institutions
In this matter is almost inconceivable.
If this Is the genuine Tacoma spirit. the
town is doomed 20 be passed early In
the race by Everett and New whatcom,
its present rivals.
