Census Statistics.

A table has been prepared in the
census office TO show the increasing
age Of population from decade to dec
AIDE. In the volume of the census re-
Gently published, this increase was
shown for the period from 1880 to
1900, by computing the average age
of the population of the United States.
In 1880 the average age was 24.6
years, in 1890 it was 25,6 years, in
1900 26.3 years The medium age
of the colored population from 1880
to 1900 increased only about one-half
as fast as that of the whites. Many
complex influences have co-operated
in producing as a resultant this steady
change in the age composition OF the
population. Among these may be mem
toned the rapid progress of medical
and sanitary science, which has tend
ed to increase the average length Of
life: the decrease in the relative num-
Der of children born, which has made
the earlier age periods less preponder-
ant numerically in the total population,
and the influx, especially from 1910,
of great numbers of adult emigrants,
increasing the number in the older
age periods. The difference between
the white and colored populations is
doubtless due in great measure to the
fact that these influences have
wrought more powerfully upon the
white than upon the colored race.

Were Pre- iudiced.

1t is known that jury, theoretical
ly, is composed of set OF unprejudic-
ed men with open minds, still there
may be occasions when slight per
sonal feeling invadcs their ranks.
Such was evidently the thought borne
in upon the tailor who, rising to state
his case, and having declined the serv-
ices of lawyer for reasons best
known to himself, looked over the
jurymen and then turned to the Judge.
ITS no use for me to tell you about
this case, your honor" he said, de-
jectedly, mot unless you dismiss that
jury and get a new lot. There isn't a
man among 'em but owes me some
thing for clothes"

SENATOR SPoONER does not propose
to let the grass grow under his feet,
when it comes to securing fat offices
for the stalwart faction. And it seems
that he is substantially backed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The senator knows
that LaFollette will soon be on the
ground to contest these matters, and
then there will be trouble for him.
During the past few weeks, two impor-
tant appointments: Ex-senator Quarles,
district Judge and Congressman Bah
cock, member of the National repub-
hcan committee in place of the late
Henry G. Payne. The latter was an
unusal bitter dose for the alf-breeds to
swallow.

At the last regular meeting of Asse m
bly, No. 81, E. F. IT,, held Thursday
evening, the matter of organizing an
auxiliary society for the protection of
members during sickness was taken up
and discussed. 1t was the opinion of
the originators that by each member
paying S1.00 additional dues yearly,
sufficient reserve can be created to pro-
tect sick members families from want
for limited number of weeks. The mem
bership will be limited to E. F U. mem
bers only and the amount of aid ex-
tended shall be left to the counsel Of "A
committee. A paper will be circu lated
for signatures of prospective mentors

1t is the intention of the city authori-
ties to start the work of matchmaking
streets this spring as soon as possible
and work will commence several weeks
earlier than was done in any former
year. BY getting an early start, and
with the increased number of cords of
of rock on hand, it is thought the work
accomplished this year will be greatly
in excess of that of any other season
One street which will be improved
early in the season will be that crossing
the island belonging to the Stewart
Lbr. Co. and connecting Grand Ave.
with River St. 1t was graded last fall
and is rough. As there will be a great
amount of travel over the new bridge
it is quite likely that that piece of road
will be macadamized and a breakwater
of rock built on the north side to pre-
vent high water from destroying it, A
side walk will also be constructed on
the north side. The stone crusher will
be started in operation at the earliest
time feasible.

THE primary election law is having
its first trial in Wisconsin; not in all the
cities, for many have biennial elections,
and in many this is an off year This is
the case with Wausau and our people
will not have chance to register any
kicks or speak in its favor until next
spring. About all the articles that
have come to the PILOT table in refer
ence to the workings of the new law
has been unfavorable. The Marshfeld
Times says that 200 votes were cast in
that city, and the election cost 5000, and
the experience of smaller cities is that
the cost averages $500 per vote. The
Times says
"The primary under the new law
Tuesday was somewhat in the nature of
a farce, and its Importance was certain
ly not apparent to the voters on its first
trial The clerks and inspectors who
were. required to be on hand from early
in the morning until nine o'clock in the
evening, managed to beguile the time
by means of card games, but the day
was a tedious one for them. Less than
one sixth of the voters of the city en-
tered the primary and but for the
numerous clerks and inspectors who
were compelled to attend the vote
would have been much lighter"
