An Iowa editor has been called to
Washington because his subscription list
is not as well paid up as the law requires.
He will have to explain to the govern
ment officials why he has not compelled
his subscribers to pay up according to
postal rules. An inspector had visited
him two months previously and his list
was said to be pretty thoroughly paid up,
but evidently it was not sufficiently so.
1t seems a little tough that country edi-
tors have to be hauled up before the gov
eminent under the charge of violating the
federal laws just because they do not
eterrally keep dunning their subscribers
for the small sum they owe on subscrip-
ton, but it is like the end of the world,
no man knoweth when it cometh, and no
editor knows what day an inspector may
pop in and ask to see his list.

FIRST B APP T|ST
TO TAKE CENSUS
Members Will Get List Of
Church People in Madison
and Monroe Wards.
WORK TO BEGIN ON SUNDAY
Dr.. Mcdaniel Explains Object
of Enumeration, Which Will
Help All Churches.

a religious census of Monroe ana
Madison Wards will be taken to-mor-
row afternoon, between $50 and $3.50
o'clock. under the auspices of the First
Baptist Church. Fifty of the members
of the church have been assigned to
the work and Will go about, two and
two, VISITING every house and tabulat-
ing the returns.
Rev. George w. Mcdaniel, d. D.,
pastor of the church, said last night
that 1t was the desire of the church
to render more definite service to the
section Of the city surrounding 1t, and
iii order to adjust itself to the needs
OF the community, it was proposed tc
secure definite and accurate inforra-
ton. At each house the enumerators
will find out the church utilization OF
the family. those who are members
those who are attendants. and those
who have no connection with any ra-
ligious sect.
1T is not the Intention" explained
Dir. Mcdaniel, Ito attempt to influence
those from whom this information Is
secured in the interest of the First
Baptist Church. or to proselyte NOM
bers Of other churches who are EN-
braced in the area covered by the
to furnish to other churches such in
formation concerning their members
as the canvass may discover"
TO Group Newcomers.
1t is believed, according to a mem
Der of the congregation. that large
number of people from the country and
from other cities move to Richmond
annually, and drift about from church
At re ho n
church attendance. No public or OBJ
jectionable use will be made of the in
formation secured. 1t will be tabulat-
ed by blocks, so as to show the num-
Z Der on each block, affiliated with each
denomination, and those of no church
aff1liaton, and in making up its an
nuaI report the committee will show
the number of churches of each de-
nomination in the area embraced, and
their seating capacity
The plan of taking religious cen-
sus has been adopted In many large
cities With great success, such an
enumeration having been taken In Chi
cago within the past week or two, the
results of which have not yet been
announced. The plan of the First
Baptist Church in making the entire
enumeration within two hours and on
Sunday afternoon. when most people
will be at home, is regarded as uni
que. If It proves the success that is
anticipated. it Is probable that
churches IN other sections of the city
will by grouping their efforts continue
the work from Sunday to Sunday un-
til the city has been covered, and
complete figures can be given of the
nu:,ber OF people affiliated with each
of the churches.
According to DR.. Mcdaniel the min
listers and church officers will then be
| in position to shape their work to-
ward definite end, avoid overlapping
! in certain neighborhoods and carry or
| their labors in more scientific ant
we'll informed manner.
