GET READY FOR THE CENSUS

The decennial Federal census to be taken next
April, will prove OF greatest Importance to agmcul
ture Excellent opportunities here for farmers ITO
help themselves through helping the government
officials. The time to begin is right now this fall
The first step is to keep tab on the acreage, yield
and volume of your 1909 crops. 1t goes without
saying that business do this and always
for their good and quite outside of intended aid
to the sasticans. But the necessity of this should
be fully realized by every farmer at this time be-
cause April he will be asked simple yet import
expenditures, etc., these OF date next April while
ant questions that he can only satisfactorily ans
wer by taking a record this fall and keeping it be
fore him. Ano.hr 1h remembering,
federal law regarding equipment inventory, farm
the questions about farm operations will relate to
the present calendar year 1909 There are six mil
Ion farms today and probably 10 million or more
persons over ten years OF age engaged in agrfcul-
fural pursuits. Truly, business proposition OF
this kind is worth the cordial cooperation of farm
ers in the matter OF census statistics. American

4 WISE MINISTER

"Where shall the working girls of our large cities,

r. Ramsey pastor of st. Paul's Methodist Episcopal
church. south, of Denver. And he gives his answer
Doctor Ramsey believes the church should give
this problem for the working girls by providing

CRUELTY CHARGED

North Dakota does not stand alone when cruelty

helpers In our charitable institutions 1t is claimed
In states that inmates of asylums are brutally
treated. This has been the in Iowa. An inves-
ti4ation was held and of the helpers discharg

that the state school for boys Pontiac is verable
hell on earth to the inmates and that they are SO
abused that it would be almost out OF the question

against humanity generally.
But abuses occur elsewhere. An open letter by
former Congressman Hanley of Delaware to the gov
emor of that state makes grave charges Of inhuman
treatment of inmates of the industrial school, which
Is really reformatory for youthful culprits of both
sexes Some OF the charges made by the ex-Con-
gresham indicate cruelty most revolving, if they
mot the exaggeratons of depraved and malicious
minds. The fact that the school had always been
regarded as model and the belief that the youth
full inmates were treated with exceptional kindness.
in the hope Of reforming them and making uset III
members of society OF them, gives the accusation {"
than ordinarily distressing tone. Cruelty to
children at any time is most Repayment to normal

ROMANCE RUN TO FOLLY

A New York girl is reported to have written TO
Governor Campbell of Texas, asking him to ind her
q cowboy for a husband. In her letter She says
she has a sutton, but that she wants real man
for husband. Her age is said to be seventeen.
That helps to excuse her. Whether the letter is
bonafde or not is of no Importance. 1t does fairly
represent a certain type of girl, and her idea OF

Wealthy District Burned.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 1.-SadaliFo
Yamanaka, of Yamanaka & Co, whole
sale merchants of Toxic, London, Osaka
and Boston, received a dispatch from
the Osaka manager today stating that
the residence of the Yamanaka family
in Osaka had been burned
AS the residence is located in the
northeastern part of the city, he believes
that il is in this section. and not the
business quarter, that the flames have
done most damage. Here were all the
finer homes and many temples.
One Of The chief buildings in the dis

Dwight Lined Up Republicans.

John Wilbur Dwight, the Republican
whip Of the House, was the best
pleased man in Washington Saturday
night when the tariff bin had been
passed by the House. with the possible
exception of Chairman Payne. of the
Ways and Means Committee. Dwight
had been saying right along that the
bin would pass, but some of the time
he was saying it he felt in the position
Of a man who is trying to play a pair
OF deuces like a fun house. Up to
Saturday morning. in fact, there was
no little uncertainty in the situation II
was unComfortably close and il GevoIved
on Dwight TO get in touch with every
Republican Representative about whom
was the least question, and find out
what he intended to do. He had to
work night and day TO do this This is
the second real battle that Dwight has
been through as a whip. The first
time was in the struggle over the rules
The shifting Of three votes at one time
In the voting Saturday night would
have sent the bill to conference and
would have badly discounted the re-
ports and predictions Of the whip. AS
1t was. everyone congratulated Dwight
on being in close touch with things.
Since Cushman of Washington was
gathered 70 his fathers, it is a mOoted
question who is the homeliest man IN
Congress. Cusiman never would allow
anyone to dispute the honor with hini.
Now, there are many who would award
the palm to Senator Bristov Of Kan
sas, who is tall, lank. ana saturnine.
Others contend 1t ought to 80 to Bart
lett Of Georgia, who is thought 10y
many TO resemble BristOW, save for TIE
fact that the Kansan is dark and the
Georgian is light Several others there
are who make no chain TO beauty. For
instance, Stevenson Of Minnesota is not
in the Apollo class and neither is Sen
ator Martin Johnson of North Dakota.

THE HOUSE ADOPTS THE CON,
FERENCE REPORT.

By a vote of 1875 TO IS3, the House
adopted the conference report on the
tariff BILL By a vote of l9l to ls6 it
had, a few minutes earlier, refused to
send the bin back to the conference.
The vote on the motion to recommit
may be taken as a fair test of senti-
ment toward the bill; and that vote.
under any analysis, makes plain that
there was a majority OH the House
which was dissatisfied ! with the
measure. A change of three votes would
have sent the bin back to conference.
Among the men who voted against re-
committing were Mr.. Keifer, who later
voted to reject the conference report
in its entirety; MIR. Cooper, Mr.. Kin
kaid, Mr.. Kopp, and Mr.. Morse, all
of whom are well known to be opposed
30 the bill on general principles, though
for variety of political reasons they
voted for the report. Dir. Kopp. for
instance, has been held in line because
there Is a zinc mining industry in the
southwest corner of his district and
the duty on zine Is of the utmost con
Germ TO large body of his constituents.
This was the one consideration which
made him accept the measure. Like
wise Mr. Stafford, of Wisconsin, rep
resents a big tanning industry, which
was extremely anxious to secure free
hides. Mr. Stafford but for this strictly
local interest would probably have
voted with Mr.. Mann to recommit the
report, and aiterward to reject it;
for Stafford was a member of the Mann
committee whose report on the print
paper industry was eontemptuously re-
jected by the conferees.
To get the conference report adopted
even by the close vote which was re-
corded required the utmost exertons OF
the House managers, supplemented by
all the influence Of President Taft. 1t
is now known that twenty-four hours
before the vote the leaders accounted
themselves beaten. They saved the
day by the greatest effort, and would
have failed but for the potent assistance
Of Mr.. Taft.
From the hour this bill went to con
ference, it has been the President
own affair; indeed, before that it be-
gan taking all its color from him. It
was he who put out the income tax
and put in the corporation tax; he who
forced from the conferees all their
limited concessions to the downward re-
vision policy; he who forced the bin
through the House after it had come
from conference. The President has
assumed a very large responsibility for
a measure which seems certain to prove
vastly more a political liability than
an available asset.

YEA, A DANIEL COME TO
JUDGMENT.

The decision by Justice 3raman of
Baltimore in the case of Senator Stone
settles a question that has vexed many
people. The justice said:
1 have had occasion to travel on
/ trains and to encounter the annovances
70 which the Senator has been subjected.
/ nave often been tempted TO resent the
eHenSiVeneSS OF the Pullman pOrtprs.
Under the circumstances, / believe the
propagation justified the action taken
/ and I dismiss the case.
There may be doubt whether this Is
good law, but the average person will
agree with the justice as to the gen.
eral unworthiness of the porter in
whom the public has considerable n
terest since-owing to the companv's
attitude-the public pays his salary.
The conclusion by the court that the
thing to do is to beat 'em up when
they are sassy" is interesting and no
doubt viii attract widespread com
ment. If it should be generally adopt
ed. there viii PROFESSIONALLY be con-
siderably more excitement in travel
ing. Before the case is finally disposed
of, however, there should be more light
shed on the question whether the Sen
ator's rage was aroused by the delay in
getting his chops AMI eggs or whether
1t was a case of sudden heat and pas
sion superinduced by the size of a glass
of whisky. In his testimony Thursday
the Senator said:
I asked him if re had any real good
Scotch whisky. He said they did have
such an article in stock. I then told him
to bring me a small quantity of Scotch
whisky in a small glass and with = a
tUmbleT filed with cold water The
waiter went away and shortly returned
with two small drinking glasses, the
smallest ever saw, one with about a
tablespoonful of whisky in it and the
other with about the same quantity Of
water.
There is no question that the Sen
ator had ordered what they call in Mis-
souri, a high hat It does not seem
that proper emphasis was laid upon
this feature of the trouble. To get a
drink of the size described when a man
was contemplating longingly taekling a
"high hat" Is calculated to make per
son much less irascible than a Western
Senator 90 on the warpath.
