Census by Electricity.

A twentieth century census is a term
appropriate to the preparations for the
twelfth census, for the people of the
United States. It appears. are to be
counted by electricity. An outline OF
the arrangements for the count is given
by Director Merriam in the current
number of the North American Review;
and he shows that not the least inter-
esting Of the various devices to be en-
ployed is the tabulating machine. The
data collected by the enumerators will
be transferred to small cards, Of which
about 100,0OO,O00 will be required, and
then a thousand keyboard punchers"
will be kept busy for a hundred days
transcribing the 75.oOo,Oo0 or more indi-
vidual records of citizens of the United
States. Then electricity will come in for
its part Director Merriam says:
..These punched record cards are then
counted, or tabulated, IN the electrical
tabulating machines. These machines are
provided with a circuit-closing device into
which the cards are rapidly fed. one by
one. The holes IN the cara cOntrOl tn0
electric circuits through number of
counters, which will, as desired, count
the simple facts as to the number Of
males, females. ETC., or the most compli-
Gated combination which the statistician
may ask for. After the cards for a given
district are thus passed through the tab
uIating machine, we know the number of
native-born white males of voting age.
the number of white children under five
years of age born In this country, with
both parents native born, or the number
of such children with one or both parents
foreign born, or any other information
contained in the enumerators' sheet which
the statistician desires tapuiated.
If the card is not completely punched, or
not properly fed to the machine. or if
some item has been overlooked, or, in
fact, II everything is not all right, the
machine refuses to work, and the card Is
rejected"
So 1t appears that electricity will not
only do the work Of counting the people
of the United States, but will insist,
without the possibility of slip, that
whatever errors may have been made
by unreliable clerks shall be corrected.
This is becoming more and more the
electrical age.

A DastardIy Feature.
Salt Lake City Tribune.

5dIl INtN6
There is one feature of Roberts plea
for seat In congress which the polyga-
nous wives in Utah will not fail to note.
That is that the men who have involved
their lives, and to whom they have Yield
ed everything, think more of material ad-
vantages to themselves than they do of
these poor women. Roberts In his argu-
mert would not admit that his own dead
child was his. or that the woman who
bore that child was his wife. He would
not admit that the woman in this town
whom for years he has held out to the
world as his wife. and whose door bears
his name, was his wife, and could not
possibly account for the fact that his
photograph was kept In her house.

of his old false gods. Referring to the
increase of monetary stringency by
locking up public funds in the treasury.
he says IT is wonderful that men will
still insist that 1t Is the quality and not

everything depends. One would like to
hear how far Senator Stewart thinks the
situation In stringency would be i'm

hardly fair that Dewey and his men
should be entitled to hundreds of thou

The reason is that the old-time GUS

Why This Machinery?


Those in whose breast a tender chord
vibrates at the mention Of the word
'nonpartisan'' must be astonished and
grieved at the first step taken by the
gentlemen who wear this plume in their
headgear. For It is nothing more or less
than the perfection and announcement
of complete form Of party organiza-
ton. The inchoate masses Of political
purity floating about in the air are to
be transformed by attraction and pres
sure into machine fashioned exactly
after the pattern of those that are re-
pudiated and renounced as works Of
the evil one The driven snow is to be
gathered into a compact ball, with the
usual admixture Of dirt and refuse from
the street. 1t is sad disappointment
for the idealist. e....4....
The committee or club or volunteer
corps, or whatever you may call 1t, that
invited itself to boom the nonpartisan
idea, has adopted without dissent a re-
port containing the framework Of a
party organization. In this we search
In vain for any white-winged departure
from the ancient and profane ways Of
party politics. The imitation is COM
plete. Ward organizations are to be
formed and these elect members of a
central committee. They are also to
elect delegates to city convention for
the nomination of candidates. This is
so good picture Of the old party devil
that we confess our inability to distin-
guish It from the original. Not a scrap
ing Of horn or the tip Of tail Is want
ing.
These gentlemen or any other gentle-
men have right to form new party
whenever they please. 1t Is a common
privilege of American freemen. 1t Is
more fun than founding a new religious
sect and less expensive than starting a
newspaper. 1t is good practice, and It
lifts the shades OF obscurity from many
an almost forgotten countenance. If
we have a lot of ''mute inglorious Mil
tons' and ''Hampdens g,Iiltless of their
country's blood" among us, in the name
of all that is interesting, let them stand
forth. The only condition, and we think
that It is perfectly fair one. in politics
as in any other form Of public activity,
Is that nothing should be done under
false pretences. Call a spade a spade
and party party. Do not get desire
for Office mixed up with zeal for the
public good, or tear down a business
block on the pretence that all structures
are bad for the moral health OF the
community, and use the material for the
immediate construction Of variety
hall.
Nothing could be more distinctly par
tisan than the machinery with which
the nonpartisan idea proceeds to endow
itself Good nature and a sense of
humor are disposed to be lenient with
performances of this quality, but really
the actor who personates a glowing
youth ought not to snatch off the wig
from his gray hairs and wipe the grease
paint from his withered cheeks at the
very moment when he makes his initial
bow TO tittering audience.
