ARE BEMIDJI PEOPLE
Indifferent TO CENSUS?
Citizens Should make Good" Bemidii's
Claim to Being Hub OF Northern
Minnesota"

Pertinent to the present taking of
the census, A. G.. Rutledge. the
enumerator for the fourth ward,
has written the following letter to
the the Pioneer:
To the Bemidji Pioneer:
Are the good people of Bemidji,
who are intensely loyal to their home
town in everything pertaining to
matters of public nature, becoming
lethargic to most vital matter, and
through apparent Indifference, per-
haps, allowing the opportunity pass
to prove to the world the truth of the
oft-repeated assertion that the Hub
City of Northern Minnesota" is
beyond question the leader in popu.
lation and commercial Importance?
1t appears to the writer that
this is just what is happening, in
the indifference shown with regard
to taking the federal census-and
when the enumerators have CON-
pleted their labors, there is going to
be some deep mutterings as to the
actual results found, both as to
population and commercial statistics
unless there is decided change
in the sentiment exhibited by the
public and more patriotism is ex-
hibited.
w. B. Webster, census supervisor
of Ramsey, Chicago and Washing.
ton counties, says of the taking of
the census in St. Paul, and his re-
marks are applicable, in a large
measure, to Bemidji:
The commercial standing of St.
Paul, in large measure, its CONNER
cial welfare during the next ten
years, will depend to considerable
extent on the thoroughness with
which the present census is taken.
This city will be sized up in other
parts Of the country according to
the federal census. It behooves all
of US to lend hand in making the
count thorough one.
I especially request the heads
of all the business houses of the city
to see that all their employees have
been enumerated. The work must be
completed by next Saturday night,
and we have no time to waste.
If anybody knows of any one
who has not been enumerated, and
who is likely to be overlooked, infor-
nation to that effect will be highly
appreciated. A letter addressed to
the census Office in the Federal
building will be sure to reach me.
1t is difficult to understand
how any one can refuse to fill out
one of the individual sensus slips,
which is left under the door if no
one is home. With the slip also
goes franked envelope, addressed
to this Office, so that the return can
be made without expense. Yet
many people neglect utterly to give
the enumerator this little bit of aid.'
Business firms in the downtown
district can assist greatly by furnish
ing the enumerator with lists bearing
the necessary information as to the
actual residence of their employees.

Enumeration, Fourth Ward. !"

MAYOR GAYNOR ASKS WHY CONVERT JEWS
 TO CHRISTIANITY

New York April 22.-Mayor Gaynor, replying to a. letter sent to him by the Rev. Thomas M. Chalmers of the Jew ish Esvangelization Society asking for a license to preach in the streets of the city for the purpose of conv verting the Jews to Christianity. wrote this:
 Reverend and Dear Sir-It seems to me that this work Of proselytfzing from other religions and sects is very often carried too far. Do you not think the Jews have a good religion? {? Have not the Christians appropriated the entire Jewish Sacred Scriptures? . Was not the New Testament also written en- tireIy by Jews? Was not Jesus also born of the Jewish race. if may speak of it with due reverence2 Did rot we Christians get much, or the most, of what we have from the Jews? Why should any one work so hard to rroselytize the Jew? His pure belief is the one true living God comes down to use even frcm the twilight of fable and is one of the unbroken lineages and traditions of the world.
 '.I Go not think I should give you a license to preach. for the conversion of the Jews in the streets in the thickly settled Jewish neighborhoods which you designate Would you not annoy them and do more harm than good? How many Jews have you converted so fa-2
