TAKING THE CENSUS

Following every federal census, numerous cities throughout the country make startling charges of incomplete enumeration and grave discrepancies in counting their inhabitants. This is especially true where towns have rivals or belong to the bloom" class.
 Completeness and accuracy are most desira- ble and for this reason the enumerators should be men qualified for the work Such men can be found in all the large cities, either among the present or former employees of the concerns pub fishing city directories. Other individuals qua- flied for this work are those who have been talk ing the school census. With the work taken out of politics, it should prove simple matter to make merit the chief requisite rather than let the enumeration be taken under the spells sys- tenn.
 The fairest count possible throughout the en- tire nation is important. Congressional and legislative apportionments for a decade are based on the figures obtained. Confidence in the work will only result when public and press alike accept the verdict without criticism. A good start has been made in the appointment of supervisors, and it is now their duty to main tain the standards in their selections of the fit ness which President Taft set in his appoint ments

 Representative Miles C. Poindexter of Spo- kane may become a candidate for the seat of United States Senator Piles of Washington.
 Governor T. NJ. Campbell of Texas. whose term expires this year. is likely to enter the contest for the senate seat now held by Senator Culberson.
 Massachusetts prohibtionists, in their recent state convention, adopted a. platform declaring in favor of an income tax, election of United States senators by the people, woman suffrage and tariff commission
 Charles F. Taft of Cincinnati. Representa- tive Nicholas Longworth and Ex-Secretarv of the Interior James Garfield are already men, toned as aspirants for the seat of United States Senator Dick, whose term expires March g. 1911

 Henry Crosby Emery, who has been named by President Taft to head the new tariff board has devoted many years to study of economies. wlth specialization along political lines Since 1900 he has been professor of political economy at Yale
 Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, the defeated dem ocratlc candidate for governor of New York m l9O3 and for twow years lieutenant governor of the state, intends to become a democratic can dldate for the general assembly at the election this fall
 Congressman Charles C. Reid, who has rep resented the fifth district of Arkansas for the past eight years, has declined to become a can ddate for the democratic nomination for gov ernor of Arkansas. His present plan is to re- tire from public life at the expiration of his term in the house.
 The opinion prevails in Washington that con gress will do little more than mark time and pass appropriation bills the coming session.
