in understanding the cost OF tn,
tenth census.
It's the old story: When you are Ill
get the best doctor you can afford.
the comparative cheapness with
which the thirteen census will be taken
will be largely due to Director e
Dana Durands economical methods. to
the Introduction, tabulating, and
sorting machines. and to the inheri-
lance Of wisdom from the experience
gained by the permanent census bu-
reau. During the term OF the latter,
which now 10 In q sort of state OF sue
pended animation pending the taking
OF the decennial census the methods
of inquiry, tabulation and compilation
have been greatly improved both in
accuracy and In economy Millions
will be saved.
Mr.. Durand is Responsible for many
OF the new methods to increase Stats
teal accuracy at every step Of the CEN
sus taking and to decrease the per cap
tia cost Of the enumeration. The card
punching, tabulating and sorting ma
chinery IL the invention of a census
mechanical expert and the patent
rights belong to Uncle Sam. The ma
chimes are novel in plan and the design
are Of greater speed and efficiency tnan
those they superseded, and can be
built andsoperated at large saving OF
money as compared with previous ex-
penditures for this purpose.
Other money saving features are the
elimination Of the vital statistics i'm
quiry from the work Of the decenial
census, as II belongs to the permanent

Washington, Nov. 17.--Shorn of all
legal verbiage and circumlocution, the
attitude Of the United States govern
ment against the American Sugar Re-
fining company is this:
Every cent legally due to the gov
eminent by reason of false weighing
shall be collected, even IL the payment
OF the money means the financial ami
hilation of the trust.
Every person in any way connected
with the trust against whom evidence
OF completely n the crime can be Sc
cured, will be sent to the penitentiary.
II possible, without respeCt to the char
acter Of the position or the Job held.
Although every government official
having any connection with the case
declines 60 be quoted for publication. IL
can be said upon authority that Presi-
dent Taft, Secretary OF the Treasury
MacVeagh ant Attorney General Wick
ersham have reached the unanimous
determination to press relentlessly into
the trusts vitals tho inquiry as to its
criminal conduct and that every per-
SON engaged in he investigation, or
having any knowledge of it's affairs. is
melted to his greatest endeavors by the
knowledge that the w-inging of more
millions Of ill-gotten gains from the
trust and putting some of it's officers
behind the bars wi be considered a
GROWING achievement of administra-
ton officials.
TO put the matter in the light of
politics as wei as law, a high govern
ment official states the case in this
way:
There will be nothing left of the
trust when we get through with it; we
VIII get every dollar cue, punish the

Washington, ID. c., Nov. Hold
Doctor United States census will make
his thirteenth diagnosis Of the condi-
ton OF Uncle Sam and his family next
April Is. He began 1t In 1890 and has
been Repeating 1t every ten years
since Uncle Sam has foote's the bills
to date amounting to about $47,O0O,0O0.
Our venerable Dad has calculated that
the thirteenth investigation will cost
about s1S.OOO,O0O. So that when Old
Doctor United States Census finishes
his current work there will have been
spent about $60,00O,000 for this pur-
pose since 1890.
The twelfth census cost about $13,-.
600, 600, and as Uncle Sans landed
possessions have increased since then
and his family gained about 15,000.000
more members than belonged to 1t in
1900, 1t would be considered no more
than fair If the present diagnosis were
to call for the spending Of about $19,-.
0O0,0 600, which would be the sum IL
the rate OF increase OF expense at each
census up to the twelfth were to be
maintained for the thirteenth.
A census expert has estimated that
OF the thirteen millions the headquar-
ters Office force will earn $4,800,000;
the enumerators s4,500,0Oo, the super
visors 100000. and the special agents
$700, 900. The administrative cost will

The late Cen. Francis A. Walker. who
was a census authority greater than
any other, living or dead, once wrote

CHOICEST Wines
TO SLAKE THIRST
OCEAN LINERS LADEN WITH BEST
VINTAGE OF EUROPE HURRY
TO NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. 17.--As IL 1t were
that all America suffered from one
great thirst, six large ocean liners and
several smaller boats came hurryinp
into the port of New York during the
last thirty-six hours of Oct. 81, laden
with champagnes, wines, brandy and
liquor. But the thirst which prompt
ed the haste was one for gold, not for
liquor. At midnight the duty on
champagne ju ped from So to $3.50 a
case, and on other wines and liquors
proportionately, because OF the term
ination Of the tariff agreement of the
United States with France, ~witzer-
land and Bulgaria.
For several week5 importers have
been anticipating the change, and DUR
ing that time so many large consign-
ments Of intoxicants have been rushed
10 New York that IL is probable athat
never before has such an enormous
quantity OF drink been on hand here
at any one tile.
The United States government, in
accord with the action - the authoriti-
ties In France, ord cred the customs
Office at New York to remain open
today and until midnight tonight.
La Touraine Of the French line came
closest Of any Of the incomin.. ships to
losing the race against time, tide and
tariff She steamed into port late in
the evening and her commander Cap
tain Mourand, was taken off in a tug
to the customs house. where he pre-
scented affidavits to the effect that he
had 1900 tons OF wine and liquors
aboard for admissic under the lower
duty. His papers were o. KID, thus
saving the importers L Sarly 100000.

orators, of whom about $4,000 will
carry both the population and agricul-
ture schedules, as 1t Is estimated that
there are fully 100000 separate farms
in America, with farmers numbering
well up into score of millions. In
1900 there were many more billions of
dollars Of fixed capital invested in
agriculture than there were in manu-

and he has taken to automobile riding
