The Baltimore newspapers are writing about
the trade relations between Baltimore and the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. This fact calls 10
mind that Wilmington should endeavor to Sc
cure more of this trade. There is no reason why
our merchants should not have more business
with the Eastern Shore people. The Peninsula
Board Of Trade. if it ever gets started, will do
much to bring about closer trade relations some
thing that is desirable from every point of view.

BAR OUT POLITICS
Appointment of Census Enum-
orators in Rock Island Should
Be on Merit.
WANT A FULL, FAIR COUNT
Past Experience Should Spur City on
TO See That No Handicap Is
Placed Upon 1t.

Appointment of census enumerato-S
to cover Rock Island next summer
will shortly be in order. and, profiting
by past eyperit nee, is not it about
time to arrange the preliminaries so
that this city may be assured of full
and fair count?
Despite the precautions that the
civil service is supposed to throw
around the appointments the tendency
is for politics to play an important
part in the selection of the enumeTa-
tors. 1t has done so in the past and
many cities have suffered as a result
of the carelessness or incompetence
= of those named to do the work
Here in Rock Island the census fig
ures in 1900 are believed to have been
from 1900 to 1000 short OF the actual
population of the city. Enumerators
were not sufficiently careful or con-
scientious to get all the names. If
they found a house locked or if the
housewife. suspecting that it was
peddler or tramp at the door, refused
to open up and in many cases whole
families were left uncounted. The
school census the next spring after
the last census indicated population
of 1000 more than the census takers
made it.
Organizations Can Help.
This is a matter that should hav"
the attention OF not only OF business
men. but of everybody who has any
local patriotism in his makeup The
Business Mems association and the
Rock Island Club are agencies that
can do much to prevent politics inter
fering with the appointment of capable
enumeIa -ors. When the count is being
made individual assistance will = BE
most valuable. Other cities are taking
the matter up now and Rock Islan1
