Revising the Census Bill

The decision has practically been reached in Congress to let the vetoed census bill rest where it Is in this Con gross. The veto will therefore hold good up to March 4.
 In the new Congress that will be con- vened in special session next month a new census bill will be presented and passed. It will be reshaped and sat isfactory compromise will be sought.
 In the vetoed bill the permanency of the census bureau and its relation to the department of commerce and labor were not recognized. In the new bill no doubt this oversight will be reme- died.
 There still remains the manner of selecting a temporary force 5000 to 4O0O strong. It would be a serious task to do this under civil service ma chinery, and doubtless some form of examination can be devised that will weed out the inefficient and yet will be speedy in practice.
 The new Congress will be asked to push census bill to completion as rapidly as possible, for 1t is proposed to take the new census in April of next year instead of June. The decennial census is an event in this growing country, and the standing of cities and even states is decided by it. For many purposes it holds good ten years, and that number of years in the national life is a considerable period.

Embalmed Foods

Benzoate of soda contains the active principles of carbolic acid. It is much used in the headache powders" that fakirs send out. The active principle of cocaine is also found in the stuff that the Remsen board comments.
 The trouble with the Remsenites is, that while they find no harm in one tenth of 1 per cent of this stuff in the canned goods consumed by the masses, they offer no guarantee that the can ned-goods people will not fill cans with skins, parings and other refuse of a canning factory, and attempt to pre- serve the whole with three-tenths of l per cent. The scheme is to preserve the by-products of canning factories by benzoate of soda until they can be sold to the poorer classes, the children of whom eat quantities of catsups, pie filings, jams and other stuff of like nature.
 The entire Remsen scheme of ref erees was outside of all law. The pure food law makes the bureau of chem istry the judge, subject to appeals to the courts. There is no call for the Remsenites at any point, and they have butted in without authority of law in order to maintain the disrepu- table business of millionaire food pack CTS.
 The truth is, this Remsen movement Is an effort to undermine the entire pure food law, and honest food packers are as much opposed to it as the con sumers are. consumers to man are standing by Dr. Wiley, right or wrong. If he has erred in the matter of benzoate of soda he has erred on the side of the consumers. Away with the Remsen referees, and their benzoate of soda. A government that permits benzoate of soda to be used is a gov ernment that puts poison into the stomachs of the unintelligent. An order has been issued permitting the use of benzoate of soda in food preparations, but it's use is to be stated on the label. The people should read the labels of all canned goods they buy, and in that way they will be in position to assist in defeating the new Remsen scheme to load up the poor and weak and help less with the refuse of the canneries

DAYSE MAYME'S MAN.

From the Atchison Globe.
 Miss Dayse Mayme Appleton will be married tomorrow to an out-of-town man. When the engagement was an- nounced a year ago, the Appletons said Dayse Maymes man was member of one of the most prominent Philadelphia families He was immensely rich and travelled, and handsome and talented. We all became tired of hearing of Dayse Mayme's man from the Appletons. But as the day approached for the man to arrive, and thus give us all chance to look at him and make comments, the Ap- pletons backed up. Lysander John, the father, went so far as to say today that the Philadelphia man is just human, like the rest of us" Still, it is safe to say Atchison people will pick that Philadel- phia man to pieces good and proper.

 Two Gentlemen of Verona
Author of the "ElSje Books"

When news came about week ago that Miss Martha Finley was dead a good many did not at first think that she was the author of the "Elsie Books" She knew girls and she wrote for them and scarcely any one had more thoroughly worked a particular field.
 She wrote for young girls and her books which came along rapidly found readers in every nook and corner Of the country. She never wrote for boys, but all of her books were intended for the use and reading of growing girls. It is not easy to estimate the influence of such a writer on a vast population like that of the United States. And she had readers, plenty of them, wher- ever the English language was spoken.
 No one claims the Elsie Books came from the pen of genius, but all know that she never wrote hurtful line and that what she wrote was what her con- stituency wanted and needed. Young girls do not spend much time on ath- letics and they need just such books as Martha Finley wrote for them.

Investigating the Republic and Florida

The Liverpool board of trade is about to consider the ramming of the Republic by the Florida, and this in uuiry is expected to be exhaustive. When it is concluded we will have at least an opinion as to which ship was to blame.
 But outside of the investigation in Liverpool the matter will have to be fought out in the United States courts, in which proceedings have already been begun.
 The fog was dense and no doubt in trying to find the cause of the collision about nine-tenths of the blame will be placed on the fog. But the Republic was equipped with a submarine tele- phone, which carries the sound of a bell beneath the water. The Florida had neither a wireless instrument nor a submarine telephone. But was the submarine telephone of the Republic in use when the collision occurred? :? If so, why did not the Republic hear and heed it?
 The courts will deal with the money responsibility of the case, but the in quiry of the Liverpool board of trade will be apt to be broad general and comprehensive. The latter should en. deavor to ascertain what can be done to lessen the number of collisions at sea, and to preserve lives when through negligence or bad management they do occur. The lessons involved in the Republic-Florida case should be thor oughly studied and digested.

BEDROOM LEGISLATION.

From the Portland Telegram.
 Suppose you indulge in laugh over that
 sheet legislation. Very well, it will do no harm; nor is it incumbent upon the
 average Oregon citizen to hide his head in humiliation if the measure becomes a law. If the hotels and other places of
 delinquent in properly sheeting their guests, surely the fact that discontinue
 provokes laughter from the man who does
 not experience it, will not stand as good
 reason why the inhospitable disregard of
 'mine host" for the comfort of his pat
 rons should go unchecked.
 Admittedly the evil involved-if it can be called by so harsh a name-is of the simple and homespun character. It Is es-
 sentially a class evil insofar as it inevit-
 ably affects only those who travel for
 living. Repression of it by law is legisla-
 tion for the drummers. But even so with all its apparent insignificance and it's class
 aspects, we are to hold to the principle
 in lawmaklng that assure good comfort I to any class. Perhaps with the prover- bially genial drummer we should even strain point.
 Under easily conceived conditions short
 sheets might mean cold feet; and as a ! matter of common knowledge cold feet and the drummer are antipodal. Have we not admiration for a class of men who preserve their equanimity, who lend zest to our commercial existence, who replenish our stock of stories, telable and unreliable, when we remember that for years their slumbers have been disturbed by abbreviated sheets? Have they not sthe right to be properly. tucked in like your common folk of the home? Our re- spect for fortitude long maintained under adverse conditions compels the answer yea, vearily, though we laugh for it.

CalifOrlia'S Action

A correspondent at Quinton, Ala, desires to know upon what President Roosevelt bases his policy relative to the Japanese school attendants of San Francisco. The President does not say to that city that it should provide school accommodations for the Japan csc. The schools of that city have been open to the Japanese and to all others. In the legislature bill was brought up to segregate the Japanese in other words, to compel them to attend single school in San Fran cisco.
 In view of the recent notes ex- changed between Japan and this coun- try-practically treaty-the Presi- dent considered the segregation bill a violation of the spirit of the note, in asmuch as it discriminated against the Japanese school attendants, really placing a stigma of undesirability upon them. He therefore asked the legis lature to squelch the bill, and it did He asked the legislature to do this be- cause the two nations are friendly and both are striving to lessen Japanese immigration. He did right, and the re. suit Is widely approved.
 Treaties are declared by the federal constitution a paK of the supreme law of the land. Apart from this it is plain that a city or a state should do nothing to create friction between this country as a whole and friendly na-

tion. San Francisco does not like
 Asiatics. but this is no reason why it
 should do anything to injure another
 state or the states as a whole. Japan is entitled to all the rights of the most favored nation. This is a treaty right, and California should not violate it. :
 In discussing the Japanese question the Portland Oregonian says: "It Is not probable that there will ever be any considerable immigration of Japan ese into the United States, for it is the policy of Japan to check the migration of it's people, and our country holds out no Inducements for their coming. But the few who are here are very use ful workers, and there is room for greater number. But it would not be good policy to invite them or to admit them in great numbers, because of the collisions that would take place be- tween them and the sort of people among us who hate them because of their willingness, skill and fidelity in labor Men and women who can't or won't cook, or wash, or cultivate the gardens, or do other work in a steady and proper manner, hate the Japanese because they can and will"

THE BRITISH "PEERAGE."

From the New York World.
 The recent death of Michael Arthur Bass, Baron Burton. may revive the sar- casms current few years ago as to the British ''beerage Baron Burton's title was granted in 1886, Viscount Iveaghs in 1905, following Baron Ardilauns in 1880 and Baron Hindlip's. in 1888. By these creations the makers of Bass ale' of Guinness Dublin stout and of Allsopp's s ale were with their descendants added to the titled aristocracy. Lord Blyth also represented Gilbey's wines and spirits in the House of Lords since 1907.
 A remarkable number of additions to the peerage have been made from the banking business; many lawyers and a smaller number of ship builders and great manufacturers have received titles. The pugilistic art Is represented by Viscount Selby, who as William Court Guly ex- speaker, is the son of Gully, the profess sional prize fighter. One writer fellow,' even, crept in of late years-Baron Tenny- son. Why should not such a big British fact as Beer be represented in the so- called upper house?

CHARLES WARNER DEAD.
Actor Who Won Fame in Zola's Tragic
 Farce, Drink"

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati En-
 quirer.
 New York-Charles Warner, the English actor, who won fame in Europe and America through his production of Zola' s tragic drama, Drink" committed sui eide today in his apartments at the Hotel Seymour by hanging himself to the door of his bedroom with a trunk strap. When the hotel clerks burst into his room at 5:3O this evening they found his body lying across an escritoire In the room was a piece of paper on which the suicide had written:
 ''I am bounded to my death by thieves, blackmailers and liars. Fisher Hansen, the criminal lawyer, principal rogue, who proffered to save me from ruin-they fooled me out of thousands and thou sands
 Now he is in prison.
 .'God bless you all.
 God bless you at length.
 70 dear one, o my beloved. Good-by!"
 Coroner Acrtelli was unable to get any explanation of this rambling message from the dead. As soon as Coroner's s Physician Schultz had pronounced the actor dead his son, Harry B. Warner, was summoned from the theatre in the clothes he was donning for his appear ance in '"The Battle" From him and from his wife the authorities tried to get some light upon the strange letter the suicide had left behind, but the young man was too shocked to tell.
 Warner was 66 years old. He played Drink 5000 times in London; then brought it to an overwhelming success in this country, and never went back to his native land. Between the Zola play and his vaudeville engagements he was sup posed to have amassed a competence. He was a member of the Lambs club and several other prominent organizations in New York and London.

A Macon Editor Talks.

John Burke, editor of the Macon (Ga.) Evening News, came to Birmingham yes terday, and was prominent among those who greeted President-elect Taft at the Terminal station last night.
 Business conditions in Macon are quite satisfactory" said MT. Burke, when con- yersing with an old friend here. While cotton is still an important interest in Macon 1t is no longer our mainstay as in former years. We have diversified in dustries and also great commercial as set in the fact that Macon is the big fruit center of Georgia.
 Macon does not grow rapidly, but 1t in- creases in population from year to year. If the census were taken tomorrow the city's population would be about 35,Ooo. We are now seeking to annex South Macon, and if that scheme is successful Ma cons population in 1910 will not fall short of 50000."
 In reference to prohibition enforcement MT. Burke said: we can get a drink when we want it, although our mayor is doing his best to carry out the law. On the outskirts of Macon a man provided with 40 revenue licenses is reaping great profit. He sends his drinks to customers by hackmen, and to save them from ar rests, provides them with licenses.
 "I have found. also, that 1t Is an easy matter to get drink in Birmingham.
 "In Macon, as elsewhere in Georgia, the sale of beer, containing no more than per cent alcohol, is permissible. As the standard beers contain no more than per cent, the beer drinkers are not af- fected at all by the prohibition laws"

HIS EASIEST WAY.
.om the London Standard.

From the London Standard
 A Hungarian peasant named Jan Hirsch travelled to Budapest on business and availed himself of the opportunity to or der 100 visiting cards which would aston ish his native village. When he returned home he found that the cards bore the name of Mavisch instead of Hirsch. This meant clear loss of 3s cents unless he could make use of the cards. He ac- cordingly wrote a petition on stamped paper, which cost him "A cents, asking permission to alter his name. The re- quest was granted and now he is Jan Mavisch, with 12 cents saved.
