CENSUS TAKING BEGINS TO-DAY

The census enumerators will begin their
house-to- house canvas throughout the
country today. Anything thai is said to
the census enumerators is not TO be COM
municated by him to any one else, under
penalty OF a fine OF $1,000, and people who
refuse to answer the enumerator's ques-
tions may also be penalized by a heavy
fine The questions asked will seem ir-
relevant in some cases. but the statls-
tics which are being gathered will as
sumo significance and Importance when
assembled with similar data from all parts
OF the country by enabling deducations
general conclusions to be made. one OBJ
ject OF the census is to determine the ap-
portionment by which the number Of rep
resentatives from each state in Congress
is determined. In the early part OF the
18th century Vermont had six represen-
tatives in Congress, Vermont lost a rep
resentative and was changed from three
to two Congressional districts under the
census OF 1850 At the present time the
apportionment is one representative for
l94,1s2 persons or the major fraction
thereof Vermont is expected to show a
handsome increase this year over the
figures for 1900. when our population was
given as 1854. There is very little
danger that under the next apportionment
Vermont Will have only one Congress
sional district although at the present
time We get two districts by virtue OF the
major fraction rather than by having
our full quota.
It is the duty Of every good citizen TO
help to the extent of his ability to make
the official statistical record OF the United
States in 1910 as complete and as accu-
rate as possible. An exhaustive census is
| an index to high degree OF civilization,
| and the most backward countries are
those in which the population is vaguely
estimated in round numbers or not count
ed at all.

Interest in school gardens is being
stimulated by John NJ. Whittier, the new
| superintendent of the union school dis
| trict. Mr.. Whittier's plan is similar to
the one which has proved so successful
in Massachusetts schools An arrange
ment will be made whereby any child in
any Of the schools in the district can
| receive a packet of assorted seeds, either
| vegetable or flower seeds, at a very low
price. The pupil may pick any group
OF vegetables or flowers which he or she
cares to specialize on and win compete
with other pupils who choose similar
| groups for a prize in the fall. Aside from
| the first preparation of the garden plot
| the pupil will be required to do all the
work of raising the flowers or vegetables.
1t is probable that the products Of these
gardens will be exhibited at the Valley
fair, and some interesting rivalries may
arise. Among the pupils Of all the schools
in the union school district there should
be enough to make the competition strong,

"RRILLIANT ~

Morrill, was a man Of great good sense
and sound judgment, but never man Of
brilliant parts. He kept pegging away
was generally at his post Of duty, he
made a conscientious study OF public
questions, kept his fingers on the public
pulse, and voted right. He Insisted on
living to a good old age, and his constit-
uents insisted on keeping him in Con-
gress. Any man Of good judgment and
ability, even though not brilliant, who is
kept in Congress for 40 years is sure to
get pretty near the top. Morrill, was
good man for Vermont and the country,
and the remembrance Of his birthday is
commendable.- -tBellows Falls Times.
1t is rather humiliating TO see a Yer
mont newspaper hetray such a lack OF
appreciation Of a career with which it
should be conversant. Perhaps the con-
temporary will define brilliant, and give
US the real meaning OF a much abused
word We regard Mr.. Morrill's career
as not only unique in its length Of
service, honorable in every way, but as
positively brilliant and marked by great
accomplishments. Mr.. Morrill, amassed
fortune so that he retired from bust
ness at 3s. He never held political office
until he was elected to Congress, taking
his seat when 40 years old. We have
heard a great deal about a Vermont
representative in Congress today who
after 10 years has been recognized with
the craftsmanship Of the committee on
foreign relations, but Mr.. Morrill,, when
he had been in Congress about as long
as Foster had served, did not simply
hold first class craftsmanship, but the
chairmanship Of the first class, being at
the head Of the ways ana means COM
mittee OF the House. He was the father
OF the tariff act Of 1861 and the internal
revenue tax OF 1862 under which immense
sums were raised for carrying on the
Civil war For many years he was
chairman OF the finance committee Of
the Senate, the position now filled by
Senator Aldrich, the most powerful
United States senator today. Mr. Nor
RIMS foresight resulted in establishing
the agricultural colleges all over the
country, and he more than any ether
man was instrumental in securing the
erection Of the war, state and navy
building and the beautiful Congressional
/ library in Washington. As a construc-
tive statesman Senator Morrill, was one
OF our great American characters. Per-
| haps the contemporary meant that Nor
/ rill was not brilliant, in the sense that
some men are not considered brilliant
who do not make a display that dazzles
| the public eye But as a public speaker
/ Mr.. Morrill, could turn his points In
vigorous and felctous English, adorned
with epigrams and flashes OF wit II
( would take a pretty brilliant man today
to make a speech which would challenge
/ comparison with Mr.. Morrills effort
when on the floor Of Congress he op.
posed the admission OF Kansas as q
state with a pro-slavery constitution.
Mr.. Morrill, never a man of brilliant
parts" just a plodder OF good judgment
who kept peggng away and "votet
right?" o, no. Young man, go read
the history OF your country.

The scale pest in Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, is so serious that almost every
tree is infested, and it is necessary for
the authorities to take drastic measures
to protect all shade trees on public or
private property. The owner is served
with notice by the county horticultu-
raj commission to have his trees cleaned
within 10 days. AS the commission has
no authority to prescribe what method
shall be used by the owner, no further
action is taken until the 10 days notice
has expired, Then the inspectors are
followed by the spraying outfits, and any
trees found infested are sprayed under
the direction of the commission and the
cost charged against the owner of the
propert If he refuses to pay the county
settles the bill and the amount becomes
lien against the property
