ENOMERATORS
To BE TESTED
MUST TAKE EXAMINATIONS
Method of Choosing Men Who
Are to Collect Census
Statistics.
UST TAKE EXAMINATIONS

WASHINGTON, D. G., October 10.
u. :. Census Director E. Dana Du-
rand stated today that the primary re
sponsibiIity for securing efficient emu
merators must rest with the super
yisors Of the census.
cit has been suggested from time
to time said the director, "that
more efficient enumerators might be
secured BY competitive examination
open to everybody. There is no doubt
that if the expense and time required
were not prohibitive, it would be adj
vantageous TO hold such an examina-
ton, although it would be necessary,
instead Of merely selecting those whose
ranking in the examination was the
highest, TO refer all candidates who
passed to the supervisor, and allow him
to select those whose personal charac-
teristics, such as can NOT De tested bv
any written examination, were most
suitable. The difficulty with such an
open examination is the expense and
delay involved. It IS probable that
for the $4,000 places there would be
several hundred thousand candidates,
and the grading of their papers would
require large force for long time.
At some future census this plan might
be worth trial, but it can scarcely
be attempted at the present census
within the limits of time and appro-
priations set by law.
"The census bureau does. of course.
undertake to protect ITSELF he con-
tinued, "against such obviously in
competent enuInerators as the super
visors, through political influence or
through oversight, may happen to
choose. At the last census the emu.
merators recommended by the super,
visors were all subjected to test ex.
animation, and the same policy will be
pursued this time. About onesixth,
or 5000, of the candidates selected bv
the supervisors were rejected as a re-
suit of this test in 1900 It NAV be
wise to make the test at the present
census a trifie more severe than at the
twelfth census. At best, however,
such an examination can do no more
than eliminate those who can not
write plainly and who are clearly lack
ing in an understanding of their du-
ties. 1t can do little to assure the
selection of men of industry, tact or
honesty, The Judgment, efficiency and
integrity of the supervisors must be
the prime reliance for securing onu-
merators who possess these fundamen-
tai qualifications
81 hope and believe that the su,
pervisors at the present census are ON
the whole a higher type of men than
those at any preceding census The
compensation offered to supervisors is
somewhat more than ever before, but
it is not really an adequate remuner-
alton for men of the character need
ed. | believe that very considerable
proportion of the supervisors who have
been appointed are men who in their
regular occupations or professions are
able to earn much more than the su.
pervisor S pay, and who have accepted
the positions because of the honor and
responsibility involved, or from patri

works as shown by The Comnoner:
In the making of a tariff law, one
would naturally suppose that those

pay the tax involved in any tariff
levy.

After hearing and over-rulng the mo-
tion for continuance of the cases of
Dyke and AL. Edwards last week on ac-
count of absent witnesses, their attor-
neys filed a petition in due form for
change of venue on account of undue
prejudice in the county existing against
them.
Quite a number of witnesses were sum-
moned both for the tate and defendants
and twenty for each side were heard
and arguments concluded Monday ev-
ening, when the court decided that in
his opinion after due consideration and
deliberation that fair and impartial
jury of twelve good, lawful men could be
had to try the case.
On motion Severence was granted
Dyke Edwards which will be tried first
and special venire was drawn of one
hundred and fifty men returnable Tues
day and the case set for Thursday.
On account of one of the deputies
having failed to make return on Tues
day of service will entitle the defend
Amt to another days continuance If he
so desires.
But little other business to be dispos-
ed of in the court. The Greedy Ray
case was continued and goes oyer to the
next term of court.

Duty of a Newspaper.

The law jealously guards the good re-
pute of all persons in their private char
acter and in their business or profession,
unless by their general private conduct
or by the character of the business or
profession in which they are engaged
they have themselves forfeited such
good repute. But the law is not en-
gagged in the rehabilitation of reputatlons
or in throwing the mantle of respectful b.
ility around those who deliberately en-
gage in practices in violation Of law and
follow pursuits which are subversive
of decency and good morals.
The defendant was engaged in the
publication of newspaper not merely
for the dissemination of news, but with
the additional purpose of upholding a
high standard OF public decency and
morals in the community. and it was
not merely its right, but its duty in con-
nection with a public and official pro-
ceedings of the kind in question, to
publish truthfully so much of the facts
as with decency it could publish, so that
even IL the machinery of the criminal
law proves inadequate to reach malefac-
tors of this class. who traffic for gain
in human life and health and seek to
promote immoral practices, they might
be held up to public scorn aHd contempt.
While newspapers should be held to
strict and severe accounts ability for an-
justifiable and antruthful assaults upon
private character, or upon business
standing and credit, they deserve not
punishment snd rebuke, but public ap.
provaI and c0nmendation whore. as IN
this instance, they trHthfully, and In
strict conformity to the facts. call pub
lie attention to those who are engaged in
nefarious practices, Injurious to the pub
