A POLITICAL cENsus.

Here IN little old New England we do
not realize what the political census Is
against which President Roosevelt has
put down his foot. and where it is un-
derstood the president needs nc
ciaquers to win for him applause. An
instance Of a political enumeration is
being cited at Omaha. In 1890 the
ward-heeler enumerators appointed
there were called together by the DO
ntical bosses and were instructed how
10 make their returns. They were told
that they were expected to show that
Omaha had a population OF more than
10000, regardless of the facts. In
order to carry out these Instructions.
the enumerators Ia the various dis
tricts were obliged to pad their books.
and they did it by copying names out
Of Cincinnati directory. It took two
attempts before the figures suited the
bosses, who went over the books be-
fore they were submitted to the fed
eral census supervisor. and the total
finally returned gave Omaha. an off,
cial record OF containing 14o, ASP peo-
pie. For ten years these figures were
quoted as correct. and Omaha was
classed as a boom town. But the
day OF reckoning came IN 1900. An hon
est census supervisor. aware Of what
had occurred in 1890, issued orders that
there was TO be no such manipulation
OF the 4gures again. The result was
that when the census was completed
Omaha was credited with only 10z.555
inhabitants. a decrease of 26.9 per cent.
IN q decade. The political bosses pro
tested against such a showing being
made public. but they failed to accom-
plsh their purpose. and Omaha has
since had the unsnviable notorlety of
being a down grade city, though those
familiar with the matter were well
aware that It contained more inhab-
itants in 1900 than It did in 1890.
The Newark News says: "a majority
OF the men who took the federal cen
sus OF the silk City in 1900 had no
conception Of the nature Of their du-
ties. They secured their positions be-.
cause Of their political pull, and they
did just as little work as they could
and still draw their pay. Some Of the
lists turned in by them bore evidence
OF having been copied from a directory
IN the back rooms Of saloons, and It
was found necessary to have much Of
the work done over again under the
direction Of local supervisor. The
total number Of inhabitants Of Pater-
son. according to this enumeration,
was 1889 though there was every
reason to believe that the city had at
that time over $4,000 population"
This ig the kind OF work the presi-

TO CHECK POLITICAL FLoATERs

The report Of the special commits
sion upon the direct primary was pre-
scented to the legislature last week by
Judge Perry and The Courant's opin-
ion Is that it VIII if studied win upon
its merits.
As briefly explained by The Courant
the plan which the commission re-
ports provides for holding the pri-
maries at the little town meetings on
the first Monday of October, thus
reducing the expense. Only those vot-
ers can vote at primaries who are reg
istered as members of the party whose
primary they propose to take part in,
and nobody can shift to another party
within ninety days of primary; if he
does, he loses his right to vote at a
primary. The voting at the primaries
Is by secret ballot. The ballots Of the
parties are to be Of different colors
and TO be printed by the state and not
given out IN advance Of the day of
voting. Many other provisions are in
cluded and it is believed the law is as
practicable and fair as any to be
found. It prevents the chief com
plant against primaries-that mem
bers Of one party vote at the others
primary; it guards against fraud; it Is
clear and practicable
A law which promises so much that
is desirable and so little that is OBJ
jectionable, certainly ought to wake
up the interest Of the citizens and be
so thoroughly studied that no mistake
can be made IN it's consideration.

WAY THIs ExcEPrIoN2

This country has prohibition states
and prohibition states, but Kansas
seems destined to out-prohibition them
all by making a law which absolutely
prohibits the manufacture Of intoxi-
eating beverages in the state, the only
exceptions being in the case OF cider
or WINE which may be made by per-
sons raising apples or grapes. but
strictly for their own use. The sale of
all liquors is placed under ban, al
though churches may purchase wine
for communion use. Agents are even
forbidden. under penalty. to solicit or
receive orders for liquors, and any one
contracting to furnish a citizen Of the
state with intoxicating beverages is
subject to a heavy fine and imprison-
ment. The physicians prescription
doesn't go. If alcohol is needed In the
arts or laboratory it must be Of the
denatured variety. The social club"
artifice is put entirely out of busineEs.
Liquor is outlawed, and Kansas is
about to spell prohibition with the big
gest P the country has ever seen. But
why should churches be excepted in
this law? If it is a crime for citizen
to supply to another fermented liquors
because It IS evil, why should the
church, which is good, be permitted to
do what in the case Of the citizen has
been made a crime?
There is ample authority for the
statement that the Bible wines We're
unfermented wines; and many
churches refuse to put to the lips of
their brethren liquor which will befud-
die them. ana will have to do only
with unfernented wines.
If It is a crime for citizen to sell
or give wine to a citizen, 1t is an equal
crime for the church TO DO It, and such
an exception as this is a shame to the
religion asking it, whatever its name
or wherever it may exist.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
A Boost for Gaines.

The Hon. John Wesley Gaines, he of
the long drawn out and silver tongue,
had to be suppressed by the sergeant
at arms in the house of representatives
on Friday last. A few years ago when
he spoke at The Elton at the annual
dinner of the Sons Of the Revolution,
a sergeant at arms would have been d
GOdsend, but he was not present, and
the patriotic company was obliged to
endure the hot air of the congressman
for a couple Of weary hours. The

and doubtless his volubility will ac

SELLING MEN AT AUCTION.

That was a novel spectacle when a
New York pastor of recent eve
ming attempted to sell forty enforced
idle and dependent married men to a
congregation as a means of procuring
for them chance to get an honest
living
This method OF selling men under
any circumstances is open to the Sc
verest criticism, even If It is only to
excite interest and bring relief 1t
did not result satisfactorily. Only four
Of the men were bid off at low wage
rates, and contributions were made for
the remaining thirty-six to help them
to live untE they could md employ
ment
There is no knowing but the result
Of this sale was the procurement of
four men at q cheaper wage than men
now in employment and that four men
lost their work to four men who would
90 It for less money, per week, a re-
suit which may have made matters
worse instead OF better.
What appears TO be charitable work
along these lines often proves to be
cruel to others because It throws them
into the same state Of privation the
others were in before they found work
and their relief is the other mans
distress.
II is no easy matter to justify and
eQuitably solve problems Of this kind.
and 1t Is often claimed by labor that
more harm than good has been done.
Men who are thus offered for sale
lack self-reliance and cannot be re-
garded as efficient as men Who are
capable Of self-sppport and they are
bid for because they may be had cheap
and perhaps be larger source of
profit than men in employment.
This policy is not a good one. Auc-
ttoning of men in this way is not
thing TO be encouraged or initiated.

COURTESY ON THE TROLLEY
LINES.

As q rule it is quite likely that those
who complain most Of the manners
of the trolley car conductors are not
themselves sweet dispositioned or mild
tempered.
Courtesy on the trolley lines is what
makes travelling the more enjoyable
and what makes the lines more popu-
lar and profitable.
The receiver managing a New York
trolley line urged the conductors 70
be pleasant and polite to all passen-
gers as O sure means Of increasing
business and making the lines profit
able.
This is good management and fore
shadows good business. There are
conditions which tend to make pas
sengers irritable often. The crowded
car, the strap hanging and the gen
eras discomfort at some hours of the
day, when the travelling public is tired
and seeking rest. is the cause Of most
of the disputes and exciting incidents
witnessed while travelling on the troll
ley lines.
Courtesy is Just as oommendable
when practiced by a passenger as
when manifested by the conductor,
and It is highly to the credit Of any
traveller to show the good breeding
which keeps him calm and polite I'M
der the most trying circumstances.
The trolley lines are where weary
people meet-the worn conductors and
the tired people-toward the close of
the day. Disregard Of manners is too
common on the part Of travellers and
it takes a conductor Of self control
and superior personal qualities TO re-
main always calm and civil. but that
is the best business policy and this
Is the kind Of q conductor who should
command the highest commentator
Of his employers and the best salary.
