wide range. It covers all the great
industries and activities of the coun-
try, and also gathers facts which are
useful to sociologists as well as to
economists and statesmen.
After a decade of rapid growth in
population and the industries it is ex.
pected that the census will tell story
which will crafty the country. II
will probably show that the popula-
tion OF the contiguous part of the
United States in the middle OF 1910
will be close to 90,O00,0OO. Just be-
fore the setback in October, 1907, i'm
migration had reached the highest
figures ever touched There was a
steep drop in the Incoming wave in
the closing weeks of 1907 and
through the whole of 1908. But for
the past two or three months the tide
has been rising again. II is now close
to the mark of 1906. From present in
dications the incoming flood before
the middle of 1910 will be as high
as it was at the topmost point two
years ago. Thus the census takers
will have large task on their
hands. And population counting is
only one of the fields which they
must work.
The census Of 1880 showed that we
had passed Great Britain ut that time
thus had taken the first place among
the nations. BY the census of 1850
we were shown to have heightened
our lead sufficiently to place us ahead
of Great Britain and France togeth-
er in amount of manufactures. The
count of 1910 is likely to give us a
lead over those two countries and
Germany. During 1908 there was a
heavy falling off in the volume of our
industries, but as the stagnation was
worldwide it affected our European
rivals also. Accuracy and reason
able amount of speed are the require
ments in census taking. On the fig
ures which will be published some
time in the fall or early winter of
1910 will depend the representation of
each state in the House of Represen-
tatives and in the electoral college for
the ensuing ten years. On these fig
ures will depend the relative stand
ing of the cities of the country during
that time. Director Durand has a
decidedly important task before him,
and he should be given the facilities
and the freedom from hampering in
reference which will allow him to
do the work to the satisfaction of the
people.

Down in conservative Vermont,
Governor Prouty, like others who
have not known CT the appalling
traffic revealed by federal and state
authorities during the last year, was
unwilling to believe conditions could
be as bad as described. He wrote
the committee: "lf the people of
this state were cony;nced that such
traffic rs you speaR of was being

ly no question as to what they would

regarding the magnitude OF the traf-

lows:
Responses received within the

which girls are bought and sold in

regarding this traffic have been told
tby federal and state prosecutors in
Chicago, and also hy the federal inn

than $4,000 girls per annum are the

Cooper, colored. convicted last week
of burglarizing an inhabited dwelling

penitentiary is a bad actor but for all
that his attitude in criminal court Is
calculated to bring him " few boquets
from those who believe in the eternal
constancy OF true love. ,,ov,
Cooper is tall and wiry. witha head
that looks as IL his, neck had just
grown up and haired out, and his dis
position is inclined to doggedness. But
he had been lover to Luella Collins
for many months. Together they had
planned for the future. Slim stole for
her support. He wasn't overscrupulous
at any time save when 1t came to
questions affecting Luella. Luella
wanted 1t, and Slim never hesitated
to go anu get 1t II he could.
He was arrested several months
ago for burglarizing the home OF
Ellen Barry, an aged white woman
living in Vine street. Money and jew
elry valued at $500 were taken. Mrs
Barry, who resisted as best she could
was badly beaten. Llella was arrested
also and charged with having assisted
slim in this job. They were fellow
prisoners, though widely separated, in
the county Jail.
The prosecution had counted on
convicting her easily. "Slim's" testi-
mony would do the trick, but yester-
day Slim" fatty refused to testify.
He is put away for life, but the OLD
flame still burns down deep in his
hopeless heart. He sat in the witness
stand and started at Luella's nut
brown face with set jaws. Not
word would he utter.
The case went over in consequence
until today. Slim slept last night in
the county jail. Perhaps, II the prose-
cution can persuade him to open his
dubious lips, the trial will go on.
Otherwise Luella may go free. They
were working hard with "Slim" last
night.

PRIMARY LAW
KNOCKED OUT
Illinois Supreme Court De-
clares the Law Recently
Passed will not Stand.

Chicago, June 1.-THE Illinois prim-
airy law was declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court. This Is ths
third state primary law which has
been declared invalid by the highes;
tribunal In the state.
In the workings OF the law objection
was made to the cumbrous machinery
which 1t occasioned and to the rsstric-
tions which were placed on voters be-
fore they were eligible 10 participate
In the primary. Criticism was also
raised on the powers granted to yari-
Gus committees OF the different po-
itical parties. One or the principal
points made in the argument against
the validity of the law in the appeal
TO the supreme court was the section
OF the act which provides that no per-
son may vote at primary election
unless legally qualified as voter, the
qualification including registration
The act permitted a voter who had
moved into precinct aTier the last
registration TO vote on the affidavit OF
a householder, but no provision was
made for casting the vote of a legal
voter who had not changed his resi-
dence but had not registered
In political circles IL Is considered
that the decision of the supreme court
throwing out the primary act will ne
cessitate the calling of a special ses-
sion this fall. Unless new primary
act is placed on the statute books by
the present general assembly the next
election of representatives, state SEN
ators and state officers will be under
the convention system. There is a
strong feeling in Illinois in favor of a
direct primary act. and those who are
close to Governor Deneen believe that
he will undoubtedly issue call for a
special session.
The Independent voters OF the state
objected to the present primary law.
