APPLIEs To CAIRO.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
has the following concerning sub
ject Of vital Importance.
Next Friday the census will close.
Enumerators have only a few days
more remaining in which to collect
the names and information required
by the federal law. Memphis people
should not for a minute misconstrue
the Importance Of this work. They
should do all in their power to facil-
{ itate it. Many people make mistakes
. through ignorance. Others withhold
their names wantonly and purpcsely.
There is no excuse for them. There
/. are none 20 ignorant that they can hes
excrsed In attempting subterfuge
when called upon to answer a few
simple questions.
''Is should be remembered that each
enumeration is a sworn deputy of the
government. He Is protected by the
government. He represents the gov
eminent. He is responsible to the
government, and has authority to Sc
cure the indictment of all who de-
cline to fill ort the blanks as required
by the census bureau.
There is no logical reason for
objecting to answer these questions.
People of all classes should be CAD
of the opportunity and should assist
in every pos ible way in order that
the work may be rendered easier.
The man who lives in Memphis,
works In Memphis, makes his morev
here and fattens off OF the local pub
lie. should be ashamed to make any
effort to evade the responsibility
which belongs to citizenship. Some
make this an excuse for declining to
submit their names The man or
woman who willfully refuses to CO.
operate by answering the questions
asked should be dealt with severely.
There is no sensible reason for such
stubbornness. Only a few days more
remain and tho VINO have not been
recorded or who are overlooked for
some reason should notify Supervisor
John Farley at once"

STORY OF MARK TWAIN"

The story Of the manner In which
Samuel Langhornc Clemens got his
~spens name Is wei known, but it may
not be inappropriate at this time to
give it as the famous humorist tells
1t himself In his narrative of Life on
the Mississippi" AS boy at Han
nibal, Mo-, he developed longing e
be steamboatman, and In fulhllment
OF this ambition he secured a posi-
ton as "cub-pilot" on small and
somewhat rickety boat that bore the
name Of Paul Jones. After briei
apprenticeship on the Paul Jone:
young Clemens found berth on 1
larger boat and began his real worl
as pilot. His first experience al

into the great river, he describes as

Graduates and Simple Life.

The young ladies' of the high school
graduating class are entitled to much
credit for their resolution to give
Cairo people uesful example of the
simple life, return to which in a
general way would contribute much
to the prosperity, moral improvement
and solid happiness of the country.
They propose to make their own
gowns that will be worn at their grad.

the young ladies'. as they leave school

Labor and Wages.
The great employers OF labor gem
orally would have this country flood
ed. with the most ignorant European
and Asiatic laborers, to hold down
wages and prevent strikes if the law
permitted. As it is, they manage 10
evade the law to large extent. The

supply CT labor large, so they can
hire at the lowest possible wages
This should now be apparent to all
What the intelligent laboring class
should seek is more stringent Law To
prevent the importation of labor
They should procure a prohibitory
tariff on foreign labor
This does not quite jibe with the
Socialistic doctrine, which declares
brotherhood of man, regardless a
boundary line, dividing countries
and the application OF which doctrine
would bring the living level OF
American workers down to that OF
the same class In countries where
wages are lowest, Socialstic talk al

latter has been tried often and a,

The Sabbath.

The change from the seventh to the
first day OF the week as a day of wor-
ship came with the change from
Judaism to Christianity and comment
crates the resurrection Of Christ. For
time Jewish converts observed the
Jewish Sabbath, but before the end
of the apostolic period Sunday had
thoroughly established itself as day
to be sanctihed by rest from secular
labor and public worship.

faulty design of the vessel or the put
ing in of too much weight, but AT the
same time il is said that there was
some fault To be found with the
launching ways.
IN the building of small craft the
builders have hut little difficulty IN
putting them overheard and it has
been customary i'm the Maine ship
yards 10 launch 1000 and 1000 ton
sehooners fully equipped and ready 10

Nor are all ships launched stern
first. AT some places the waterway Is
too narrow 10 permit this, and The yes
sells are launched sideUise. The steam
er Great Eastern, a ship that for years
ranked as the largest vessel ever built
was sent overheard sideways. and to-
day on the great lakes the shipyards
launch 5OJ-foot cargo carriers in that
manner and think nothing of il. These
vessels. for all their size and immense
cargo capacity. are scarcely 10 be COM
pared TO one OF the big lighting ships
like the Delaware or the North DakO-
IA. for they not only weigh SO much
more, but the weight is so much more
concentrated.
Before such a monster ship is even
begun the builder considers how the
vessel is To be launched. The very
ground over which the ship is TO be
built receives a course of special treat
ment 10 prepare it for the vast weight
il must support.
Rigidity is the keynote and the
foundation is usually prepared by
driving hundreds of long piles into the
earth, hling in between with concrete
until the area is perfectly unyielding
Then the ground is gently sloped and
everything is then ready for the build
ing of the ship.
When the hull is well advanced on
