Resolved by the House Of Representa-

10 apply TO all other census clerks during
their employment in the Census ONCE

Intention Of Congress.
It was clearly the intention OF Con-
gress. Mr. Sims said. that the employees
in the Census Ofice should be covered
into the classified service and made eli
gibIe for transfer to the other depart
ments. And had il not been so the House
would not nave placed in the permanent
census bill section 3. which covered all
the employees or the Census Ofce at the
time Of the passage OF the act into the
classified service.
Furthermore, Mr.. Sims SAID the House
never would have agreed to the confer

II must be evident to everybody. he
said, that the clerks who have wo-ke1
for year or more in the Census once
are much more fitted to do clerical work
in the departments than the people who

Commission, because the people who have
passed the civil service examination have
had no experience and must necessarily
learn the routine before they can become
Of value TO the Government.

to their governments telegram which he
had prepared in advance. the text being in
English. This telegram. translated at the
British Eehassy into French was sent in
accordance with the proposal of the Brit

attitude Of Congress. the chances Of con-
serving the peace had diminished and that
the general opinion prevailed in the

arrived TO dlssipate this erroneous notion

The telegram also expressed the view

then it brings to mind when the old

roast potatoes and parch peanuts and

boy then. There are no little boys
now. They are all little men, and
they do not roast potatoes or peanuts,
but get off to one side and with
cigarette stuck in their little mouths
roast 1.-The old man. They get their
roasted peanuts at the peanut stand,
and they turn up their little noses at
potatoes, declaring they were made to
feed pigs on and not little men like
they are. They do not fool around
the fireside with other members of the
family much. They have, perhaps,
SO much respect for their parents that
they will not smoke i'll their presence,
apprehending that the smoke from
their cigarettes would likely make
them sick. But they take themselves
off to town and there smoke and chew

TO the Editor of the Progress:
There has been no response to the
inquiry through Your paper last Sat
urday about the annual statement of
the financial condition Of the city,
which the law requires should be
made on the first day of October. This
is very important matter, and II
the board Of mayor and aldermen do
not publish the statement, the demo
cratic executive committee ought TO
call a mass meeting Of the citizens
and let them appoint a committee to
examine the books and have a state
ment made up and given to the pub
lie. This is the more important as
the present mayor and nearly all the
aldermen are candidates for re-elec-
tion. How can the voters know that
they can legally succeed themselves:
The law, section 302G of the code
says: IF there have been an in
crease of taxation as compared with
