A PROCLAMATION.
Issued by the President of the United
States of America.

Whereas by the Act of Congress
approved July 2, 1909, the Thirteenth
Decennial Census of the United
States is to be taken, beginning on
the fifteenth day of April, nineteen
hundred and ten; and
Whereas a correct enumeration of
the population every ten years is
required by the Constitution of the
United States for the purpose of de-
termining the representation of the
several States in the House of Rep
resentatives; and
Whereas it is of the utmost i'm
portance to the interests of all the
people Of the United States that this
census should be a complete and ac-
curate report of the population and
resources of the country
Now, therefore, l, William How
ard Taft, President of the United
States of America, do hereby declare
and make known that, under the
act aforesaid, it is the duty of every
person to answer all questions on
the census schedules applying to
him and his family to which he be-
longs, and to the farm occupied by
him or his family, and that any
adult refusing to do so is subject to
penalty.
The sole purpose of the census is
to secure general statistical infor-
nation regarding the population and
resources of the country, and replies
are required from individuals only
in order to permit the compilation of
such general statistics. The census
has nothing to do with taxation.
with army or jury service, with the
compulsion of school attendance,
with the regulation of immigration,
or with the enforcement of any ma
tional, state, or local law or ordin-
ance, nor can any person be harmed
in any way by furnishing the infor-
nation required. There need be no
fear that any disclosure will be made
regarding any individual person or
his affairs. For the due protection
of the rights and interests of the
persons furnishing information every
employee of the Census Bureau is
uuutI HtdNy ptudlJy, ,
from disclosing any information
which may thus come to his know
ledge.
| therefor earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly, complete
ty, and accurately all inquiries ad-
dressed to them by the enumerators
or other employees of the Census
Bureau, and thereby to contribute
their share toward making this great
and necessary public undertaking
a success.
In Witness Whereof, | have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington,
this fifteenth day of March, A. ID. one
thousand nine hundred and ten, and
of the Independence of the United
States of America the one hundred
and thirty-fourth.

JAPAN'S SCHEME IN THE
PACIFIC.

That the Japanese Government is
reaching out for the domination of
the Pacific Ocean by an arrange
ment which will double the number
of warships and merchantmen to be
built or acquired by the United
States during given period is the
information that reached Washing
ton a few days ago. Diplomats say
that there is no belligerence evident
in these plans, although they are
deemed strategically advantageous
in the event of a struggle or diff
Guilty between the two countries.
1t is not denied that speeches re-
Gently made by former officials of
the United States now prominent in
private life have led Japan to feel
that this progressive naval pro-
gramme was the best thing in
sight.
Diplomatically this Japanese plan
is considered evidence of dissertation
from the theoretical group of unity
that existed between the powers pre-
vious to the rejection of the Ameri-
of the Manchurian railways.
Semi-official figures in the posses
sion of foreign naval attaches sta
toned in Washington show that
Japan already has options upon
three first-class battleships, nine
cruisers and five torpedo-boat de-
stroyers at present flying the flags of
smaller nations whose navies are
considered unnecessary. Fourteen
convertible passenger ships for Pa
cific service, built on the style of the
German merchantmen. which makes
them auxiliary warships, have also
been spoken for by Japan. Diplo-
mats and other experts Say that there
is every reason to believe that
Japan's options are for about sixty
vessels, to be bought at a cost of
$35, 100000

WEDNESDAY, MAR. 10, 1910.

An editor works 365 days in a
year to get out 104 issues of a pa
per, that's labor Once in a while
a subscriber pays a year in advance
for his paper, that's capital And
once in a while some son-of-a-sea-
cook of dead beat takes the paper
for two or three years then skips out
without paying for it, that's anarchy.

The poor editor was dying; but
when the doctor placed his ear to
the patients heart and muttered sad
ly, Poor fellow circulation almost
gone" the editor raised himself and
gasped "Tis false, we have the larg-
est circulation of any paper in the
county," then sank back upon his
pillow with a triumphant smile upon
his face. He was consistent to the
end-lying about his circulation.

Is it because teachers fall into me-
chanical, monotonous ruts of teach
ing and perform their work in a
manner so school-like and so little
school-like that it never occurs to
the pupil that what he learns from
his books has any connection with
or application to the things that oc-
cur in everyday life? Here we think
is the trouble, and in this we should
reform. Let each teacher make his
work more and more practical; let
him strive to lift his pupils from
their unthinking, impractical meth
DDS of study; let him give them mat
ter for thought upon the simple,
common things around them; let
him endeavor to create an interest
in their minds upon the subjects
discussed by the older people of the
community, and soon we shall have
a race of children in our schools who
will know more at the age of -
of what is practical and useful than
our children know when they leave
the common schools at an older age
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-03-16

The civilization that is just ahead
of us will find better ways for ad-
justing differences between capital
and labor than wrecking property
and smashing heads The easiest
way in the world to get man to see
as you see and think as you think
is to appeal to his better nature.
IT is unnecessary to say that you
cannot do this by jumping upon
him with hob-nailed shoes and stamp
ing the gizzard out of him. Such
methods to gain point are the most
illogical that can be devised. They
are certain TO destroy every atom of
sympathy that may exist and arouse
anger to its highest pitch. 1t is evil
dent that that is a poor beginning
for deal in which concessions are
expected. The automatic adjustment
of wages to correspond with the cost
Of living by means of a sliding scale
is one OF the means of avoiding
trouble; the conciliation, board is
another, but even these are not per-
feet. The only perfect method of
establishing right relations between
capital and labor is by the application
of the golden rule, which, simple and
easy as 1t is, seems hardest TO get
into the code of the world.

in the general discussion of the
claims of Cook and Peary to having
reached the north pole, one essential
point seems to have been OVERLOOKED.
Neither claimant has made public
any evidence on the subject except of
the Tittlebat Titmouse order. In
Warrens novel, Ten Thousand a
Year" its hero, Titmouse, is describ-
ed as writing to his attorney respect
ing some points in his pedigree, and
clinching his statement by adding,
Which | can prove by telling you
the same truly" Thus far, the only
proof offered by either Cook or Peary
has consisted in telling the same
truly" without further evidence that
anything has been told truly

Early to bed. early to rise, makes
men healthy, wealthy and wise.
Thus runs the old saw. and there's
more in it, probably, than many of
us are willing to admit. Rushing
things is all right if not carried too
far. But some people in their mad
desire to bag everything in sight,
overdo it. To this class belongs the
old lady who went to the stairway
and yelled upstairs to a grown-up
daughter: Sally Sally! Git up!
Git up! Here it is four o'clock Mon
day morning, to-morrow's Tuesday,
next days Wednesday, half the
weeks gone and nothing done yet. ="

TALK OVER OLD TIMES.
Spanish War Veterans Cheered When
Band Played.

Kansas City, June 21.-When the
thirteenth infantry band from Fort
LeaVenworth struck up "There'U Re a
hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" at
the smoker given by the United Span
1sh War Veterans at the Third reri-
ment armory last hight, the veterans
stood up and cheered a whole minute
1t was the song they had sung when
they took forts away from Filipinos
and Spanlards. The band accompanied
by ITO Of the Spanish War Veterans
who came from the post yesterday
afternoon for last nights entertain
ment. 1t was impossible for the men
from Fort Leavenworth to remain long
away from their duties, and they re-
turned last night.
Two boxing bouts and a wrestling
match added to the entertainment, but
the men talked most of the late war.
Many old intimacies were renewed.
Good Word for Funston
Many members of the Twentieth
Kansas were present, and all praised
Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston, then a
colonel, who led them. c. P. Barshfeld
who was the coIonels trumpter in the
Philippines, tells of a time when Fun
ston exhibited nerve.
One night, when Funston and Barsh-
field were endeavoring to sleep a Fill
Pine bullet crashed into the tent. Fun
ston rolled over and said to his bed
fellow: Those niggers haven't any
more respect for a colonel than they
have for a private, have they, Percy?'
Women Will Have Motor Ride.
This afternoon the eighteen women
who accompanied their husbands to the
encampment will be given a motor car
ride over the city. Last night they
visited Electric park.
At the armory tonight the Rev. J. C..
Schindel will be publicly installed as
Grand Gu Gu Grandississino of the
Military Order of the Serpent, Missouri
Lair. He succeeds DR.. Archie Johnson.
Not all of the United Spanish War
Veterans are members of the Order of
the Serpent. The latter is made up of
those more particularly interested in
military affairs.
Everyone is invited to attend the
public installation. 1t will be the first
one ever held, and a good many people
who attend will be surprised, according
to those in charge,
Kansas Veterans Will Meet Today.
The Kansas veterans, who are to hold
a session in Kansas City, Kan, today,
will spend the afternoon in Fort Ieav-
enworth The business session will be
held this morning and tomorrow night

at the Hotel Grund. Among those who
are in the city to attend the reunion
are H C. Colgrove of Great Bend, Fred
Barrett of Marshall county, A. J. Brice
of Blue Rapids, E. r. Kincaid of Kin
caid, Kan, and Clyde Miller.
