A Few Comments by the Old Veteran.

Now our Street Committee proposes
to look over the surveying plans be-
fore issuing a grade permit. Well,
well, why not let them do the survey
ing, it seems to be in line with other
details OF less importance.
The Harrisburg grafters have been
pretty we'll roasted. But howabout-
howabout, etc?
No law in this State can compel q
man to pay for that which he does not
get. How about your less than a dol
lar electric light bill? A test case
would settle it.
The price of ice to consumers is $18
per ton, while the price of coal is
$3.50. This looks most unreasonable.
Ice can be manufactured for less tina n
Sc per ton. Here is chance for our
Citizens Business League to show
a hand. It would be better for them
to induce some ice manufacturing
company to locate here than trying
to arrange with a feather foundry.

GROUND BROKEN FOR PARISH HOUSE

On Sunday last, after the morning
services, the congregation Of st. An
drew's Church broke ground for the
erection of the Elvin X. Smith Men,
orial Hall, interesting services being
held by the rector. Rev. John H. Carr.
Afterward the following persons took
part in breaking ground, using the
same spade that was used in breaking
ground for the present church build
ing: Rev. John H. Carr, as rector of
the church; David Sibborn, senior
warden; Mrs. Harry Barber. of the
Woman's Guild; Mrs. Emma Snow
den, of st. Agnes Band; Lewis
Young, representing the choir; Miss
Beryl Vannata, representing the Sun
day school and Masters Elvin Young
and Edmori Van Horn. Jr., repre-
senting the rising generation of the
church, after which the benediction
was pronounced by the rector. Work
will be started Immediately by Con-
tTuCtoE TCu ". dTh6r.
The rector, the Rev. John A. Carr,
spoke as follows:
1--WE are here assembled in the name
and presence of the most holy and
adorable Trinity to devoutly and in
faith enter upon the more immediate
beginning of the erection of our new
parish house which will bear the name
of that godly and venerable priest, FL
vim X. Smith, for long years the pas
tor of this congregation. We purpose
to erect this building to the glory of
God and also for the good of our fell
low men. In this church house will
be provided a place and home for
praise and thanksgiving and other di-
vine offices of our church. In it, too,
will be fitting places for the instruc
ton of young and old in moral and re-
ligious truth, also for women's work
in our diocese and town. Mindful, too,
of the fact that man is social being,
provision will be made for divers
healthy and moral recreation, and i'm
provement both of body and mind, of
all sorts and conditions of human
beings, irrespective of age and sex, in
proper measure and time. All who in
the past or present have put their hand
to this enterprise, have desired that
this prospective church house might
fulfill mission not only to the people
of st. Andrews, but also to the people
of Lambertville as whole and not on
any narrow or sectarian basis.

through political influence or over
sight, may happen to choose. At
the last census the enumerators rec
commended by the supervisors were
all subjected to a test examination,
and the same policy will be pur-
sued this time, About one-sixth, or
5000, of the candidates selected by
the supervisors were rejected as a
result of this test in 1900. 1t may
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 cannot write plainly and who
are clearly lacking in an under
standing of their duties. 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
main reliance for securing enumer-
ators who possess these fundamen-
tai qualifications"

ENUMFRATORS TO
TAKE CENSUS Will
TOTAL $1,000

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-United
States Census Director E. Dana Du-
rand stated today that the primary
responsibility for securing efficient
enumerators must rest with the SUI
pervisors of the census.
1T has been suggested to me
from time to time said the direc-
tor, that more efficient enumera-
tors might be secured by compet-
tive examination open to every
body. There is no doubt that if
the expense and time required were
not prohibitive, it would be advan-
tageous to hold such an examina-
ton, although it would be neces-
sary. instead of merely selecting
those whose ranking in the exam
nation was the highest, to refer all
candidates who passed to the super
visor, and allow him to select those
whose personal characteristics, such
as cannot be tested by any written
examination. were most suitable.
The difficulty with such an eXamin-
alton is the expense and delay in
volved. II is probable that for the
$4,000 places there would be sew
eral hundred thousand candidates,
and the grading OF their papers
would require a large force for a
long time. AZ some future census
this plan might he worth a trial,
but Il can scarcely be attempted at
the present census within the lin

by law.

course, undertake TO protect itself

enumerators as the supervisors
