HAVE YOU BEEN COUNTED YET?
4 Full Enrolment Desired, and Time
for Completion OF Work Closes
Saturday, MAY IL.

The census enumerators have ev-
identity found Virginia bigger job
than the supervisor of census had
figured upon, as evidenced by the
fact that some of those detailed to
count noses will have run against
time to finish their work in the dis
tricts assigned them the coming
week.
As result of the fact they were
not counted prior to April 3Oth,
which by many was understood to
be the limit of time for the compile
tion of the count, many have taken
up the matter of the seeming over
sight with President Arnold, of the
Commercial Club, who is taking a
proper interest in seeing that inso-
far as possible the work shall be
done with rigorous accuracy.
1t is highly important to Virginia
and to every citizen of Virginia that
the count shall be complete, and to
that end it is urged that any over
sight on the part of enumerators be
reported to N. B. Arnold, president
of the Commercial Club, that the
matter may be Immediately called
to the attention of enumerators. No
padding is desired, but full and
complete count is wanted; and rec.
ognizing the liability of oversight
the Commercial Club has arranged
for the publication of the following
list of census questions, requesting
that any mot counted fill in same
and send to Mr.. Arnold, Hawkinson
Block:

of it. One morning he walked up to
the table which stood near the bed on

his fingers, and. while Paul 1. was

EVEN COURTS CAN LEARN.

Recognition ss The Humane Idea In
";;resdosn" Of Contract.
"What we know as men we cannot
profess to lie ignorant Of as judges"
When the supreme court of Illinois
acted on that idea 1t made long jump
from the musty past TO the up to date
present. In this particular case the
court was acting in the matter Of the
law limiting to Fen hours the working
day Of women in factories. BY its
action ii overruled the decision Of the
supreme court Of the same state Of fir
teen years ago. BY the old idea citi-
zells, whether men or women, were to
2 be free" to contract for 4 days work
of any length whatever By the new
idea women are TO be protected from
such Freedom" since with their health
rests the future of the race.
As the Oregon restriction law on the
same subject has been held constitu.
tional by the United States supreme
court, the factory owners in the other
states may as well bow TO the inevita-
bic. when their legislatures pass SINH
lar laws And that principle that
what judges know as men they ought
also to know ms Judges might be ex.
tended to other matters affecting la.
Dor. Every man in the United States
whether Judge or layman, knows that
mans purchasing power Is his owl
and that he cannot be deprived Of II
by any rightful decree. Every man III
the United States knows that the righl
of free speech and free press is essen
tial TO free country; no man, wheth
er layman or judge, Is good enough OF
wise enough TO forbid another mar
to speak his thought. Just as the II
linois supreme court has reversed it
self in the case referred to abov,
other courts may be reversed which
have assumed to say that free speed
shall not be free speech and that {
free press shall be muzzled- Same
