POLITICS AND THE CENSUS.
est. Louis Republlc.)

NOl- lBulo tNtpNbllt.J
While Chief Stattstican Hunt, of the
census bureau, is getting ready to be-
gin the count of heads In Oklahoma
and Indian Territory, there is curl
os'ty TO know whether 1t is to b e a
ia count and the square deal. or
only a political census after the al.
legged fashion of the enumeration Of
1900.
If the figures do not lie. there are
still many ways of making them ac.
cessoYies to falsehood. Texas, for
instance, claims that the census Of
1909 was made to lie about her. by
the simple trick OF not employing
enough enumerators to make full
count
It has ben pointed out by the
Houston Post that in 1900 one-third
more enumerators were employed in
Minnesota than in Texas, though
there was vastly more ground to be
covered in Texas. and the population
Of Minnesota was not much more than
half that OF the Lone Star State.
In touching upon this subject some
time ago the Post reached the logic
al conclusion that II Minnesota a
Republican state was not oyersup-
piled with enumerators In 1900, the
Democratic state of Texas was woe
fully uEdersupplied At any rate,
there is persistent belief that Dem
ocratic states were slighted and un-
dercounted in the enumeration of
1900.
This is not the sort of political
census that is wanted of Statstician
Hunt In Oklahoma. The evident
purpose of the enumeration being to
ascertain II the Democrats the
constitutional convention gerryman-
dered the new state as much as the
Republicans would have done IL they
had been in the majority, Mr.
Hunt should be careful to distribute
his enumerators evenly thoughout
the districts and see that they count
Republicans as zealously as they do
Democrats.
Politics and the desire TO discredit
the work OF the convention being the
main purpose OF this census Mr.
Hunt should be careful 10 keep his
work free from the suspicion of nn-
fair politics. The Oklahoma census
affords a gyOod opportunity for prac
tice in making full. fair and polit
icnlly impartial count OF heads. II
may save much trouble In the ma
tional census I'm 1910.

rowed down the dispute even does
not cover over dozen districts. For
the sake OF the argument suppose
that many districts were erroneously
constructed. and You nave a dozen
offices clogging 1,200 aad objectors
crying for delay of statehood as a
remedy.
In other words, the authority to cor
rect these errors, IL any exist, would
be returned to a Republican congress
at Washington rather than entrusted
to the people OF Oklahoma. Suoh
confidence as that in local self.gov.
ernment is assuring, to say the least.

There Is a vast amount Of insin-
cerity being injected into this cry of
Outrageous gerrymander," as wit
messed by the lay down when the call

are one thing, but facts stated under

Then, too the Republicans are
afraid 10 venture a statement OF the
population of the legislative districts
In advance of the census. That would
spoil the campaign medicine they
hope to concoct from the census re-
turns which are so timed as to come
too late for the use OF the convention
