Washington, Jan 10.-The House spent the
day in considering the Hopkins bill to create a
permanent Census Bureau. While the general

there was strong opposition to the bill as drawn
on the ground that i not well matured.
There also was an overwhelming demand for
provision TO place the present employees of the
Census Bureau under the protection Of the Civil
Service law, and the bill was finally recon-
mltted, with instructions to report back bill
containing a plan for a detailed organization of
d permanent Census Bureau, TO include also a
provision to place the present employees under
the Civil Service law. The fight to recommit
was made under the leadership of Mr. Burkett
or Nebraska, the new member of the Appropria-
tiOns Committee
The Pension Appropriation bill was completed

DR.. Harris said in part
The saloon has never deeply touched the needs of

with qualities Of moderation and sefrestraint,
the result of centuries Of discipline in the Mosaic
and rabbinic law. Whatever evils may have

Let US consider the that the saloon,
such Is legitimate institution, that II serves GER
tain social ends. that its evils not necessarily
inherent, but grow out Of its abuse. The saloon
out Of place is a dangerous influence. as are most
things.
Sunday has been called the American sabbath.
Let emphatiCally declare that Sunday IS not the
American Sabbath using the term IN its original
religious significance. The law OF the State has
nothing whatever do with the religious aspect OF
the question. The moment it touches religious
dom Of the fathers Of this great land decided that
Church and State should be forever separate and
distinct institutions.
The legislation that is asked for is not in the in
terest of the few. The demand comes from the
humber classes-the WoT King people OF small IN

of the people. Open the saloon on sunday with

State banks. like the Bank of the State Of
New-York, are not prohibited by law from over
certifying checks Of customers. National banks,
on the other hand, prohibited, although,
as rule the statute is ''honored in the breach"
the banking view being that the peculiar condi-
uons Of the stock brokerage business make over
certifcation absolute necessity. The over
certifcation does not extend beyond the period
covering the business hours of single day, and
the general rule is that customer can have his
checks so certified up TO ten times the amount
Of his average balance and borrow five
times such amount. The position taken by the
National Bank Of North America was reaf-
hrmed only a few days ago by President Van
Norden, who in a published article discussing
the panic of May declared that if rally had
not occurred very early in the afternoon of that
day, probably half the brokerage houses would
have suspended. and with them such banks as
had overcertified their checks. The pernicious
and unlawful custom of overcertifying never had
a more terrific object lesson than that day"
