NEW YORK, April 13.-Deciar-
ing that Taft degraded not only
the chief Of the maeistracy, but the
American republic" by replying
to a cabIegram from signor Caretti,
mayor of Porto Maurizio, who well
coined Roosevelt and then teIe-
qraphed Taft and told him about il,
the New York World, which has
consistently supported the Taft ad-
ADMINISTRATION, bitterly assaiIs Taft
in it's leading editorial today for
his action,
In reply to Caretti's cablegram
Taft wired the following reply,
Monday, April II:
Received your courteous tele-
gram announcing that Roosevelt
has arrived and was received en-
Enthusiastically by the whole popu-
lation and that the city was proud
to welcome him. In reply / beg
to assure you and all your country
men that the American people are
very grateful for and greatly APP
preciate the reception the Italians,
from the sovereign to the hum
blest subject, accorded our most
distinguished citizen"
In commenting on the Taft mes
sage, the Worlds editorial says:
When Taft was nominated as
the republican candidate for presi-
dent the World asked the plain
question, whether, if he was elect
ed, he was to be president or mere
ly a proxy. Since then various
opinions have been expressed on
many phases of Taft's official ca
reer. But concerning the message,
there can be, probably, but one
conclusion.
1T was an amazing, humiliating
expression. 1t degraded not only
the chief magistracy, but the
American republic. 1t was weak,
but sycophantish, false.
Theodore Roosevelt is not
president Roosevelt" and man

cial session Thursday night, April
81, to hear the request of Police
Chief Sullivan for the revocation of
the saloon license of Krause &
Struble, proprietors of the Airing
ton bar, 80 Sprague avenue.
The charge against the house is
that murder was committed there
recently at 4:30 in the afternoon
and that it was not reported to the
police station until $50 p. m. When
two officers were sent to the place
Edward Krause disclaimed all
knowledge of it, saying that man
had fallen down and that he stopped
and picked him up.

(By United Press Leased Wire)
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April a.
That the body Of Colonel Thomas
n. Swope, the Kansas City million
aire, was removed from it's casket
and filled with poison will be the
principal defense of DR.. 3. c. Hyde,
charged with the murder Of Colonel
Swope. Attorneys for DR.. Hyde
said today that they had discovered
evidence tending to destroy three
OF the states strongest links in the
chain Of circumstances that result
ed in the charge against the
physician.
The body of Colonel Swope lay
in a vault at Forest Hill cemetery
for several months during the
winter and was not guarded.
The attorneys declared that
they have discovered that the body
of Colonel Swope was tempered
with after it had been placed in
the vault. They assert that there
is unmstakable evidence that the
body was removed from the casket
for some purpose, presumably to
inject poison into the veins.
The attorneys said that Harry
Cooke, superintendent at the Gene
terry, told them that the key to the
vault was accessible to a number
of men; that a number OF persons
he did not know were seen about
the body and remained at the vault
for as long as an hour at a time.
The casket, according to the at
torneys, had been unfastened and
loosely refastened. Air had en-
tered the coffin and the body was
frozen. They said that the re-
fastening Of the casket was appar-
emily done by inexperienced hands.

Bureau of the Census.
WASHINGTON, D. c.,
March Is, 1910.
A great increase in the accuracy
of the census returns from the farm
ers, a considerable saving of the
working time of the farm enumera-
tors, and the removal of much of
whatever misapprehensions an d
preiudices may exist m o n 6
farmers with regard to the census
are the important results expected
by the United States Census Bureau
to follow the use of the Advance
Farm Schedule, which has been
adopted and will be circulated;
through the rural postm ster S,
among the farmers a short time be-
fore the actual census taking.
The employment of this advance
schedule is distinct innovation in
census methods. 1t is the logical
and practical outcome of the Cen
sus Bureaus persistent effort for
some time past to give the farmers
a clear and comprehensive prelim-
mary knowledge of the Farm Cen
sus questions and to induce them to
keep written records of their farm
operations and equipment in read1-
ness for the call Of the enumerators
beginning April Is next.
Four million copies of the SEIZED
ule will be printed, and the distr1-
button of them among farm owners
and tenants will be intrusted to the
farm enumerators soon after they
are commissioned, about April |.
Postmaster-G General Hitchcock has
promised the assistance of his de-
partment in the effective distribu-
ton of the schedules, and he will
issue instructions relative thereto
to the rural postmasters. They
will be required to address and for
ward to the. farmers receiving mail
at their offices the advance farm
schedules supplied them by the
enum orators.
In note to farmers on the front
page of the schedule, Census Direct
or Durand states:
Gin accordance with the act OF
Congress, the census of the popula
ton and farms of the United States
will begin on April Is, 1910. On OF
soon after that date an enumerato1

pose of obtaining the required in
formation concerning your farm.
MANY of the questions which viii

ment and operations of your farm
can not be accurately answered BY
you without considerable thought
and the making Of careful calcu
lations or estimates. Therefore
this form has been sent to you If

questions at your convenience anc
have the answers written down be

you are earnestly requested tc
read this form and instructions care

you can save yourself much time
and contribute greatly to the sue

A PROCLAMATION

Whereas by the Act of Congress
approved July 2, 1909, the Thir-
teenth Decennial Census of the
United States is to be taken, begin
ming on the fifteenth day of April,
nineteen hundred and ten; and
Whereas a correct enumeration
of the population every ten years
is required by the Constitution of
the United States for the purpose
of determining the representation
of the several States in the House
of Representatives; and
Whereas it is of the utmost i'm
portarce to the interests of all the
people of the United States that
this census should be complete
and accurate report of the popula-
ton and resources of the country:
Now, therefore, I, William How
ard Taft, President of the United
States of America, do hereby de-
clare and make known that, under
the act aforesaid, it is the duty of
every person to answer all questions
on the census schedules applying to
him and the family to which he
belongs, and to the farm occupied
by him or his family, and that any
adult refusing to do so is subject to
penalty.
The sole purpose of the census is
to secure general statistical infor-
nation regarding the population
and resources of the country, and
replies are required from individ-
uals only in order to permit the
compilation of such general Stats
tics. The census has nothing to do
with taxation, with army or jury
service, with the compulsion of
school attendance, with the regula-
tion of immigration, or with the en-
forcement of any national, state, or
local law or ordinance, nor can any
person be harmed in any way by
furnishing the information required.
There need be no fear that any dis
closure will be made regarding any
individual person or his affairs.
For the due protection Of the rights
and interests of the persons furnish
ing information every employee OF
the Census Bureau is prohibited,
under heavy penalty, from disclos-
ing any information which may thus
come to his knowledge.
l therefore earnestly urge upon
all persons to answer promptly
completely, and accurately all inqui-
ries addressed to them by the emu.
merators or other employees of the
Census Bureau, and thereby to con
tribute their share toward making
this great and necessary public
undertaking success.

MISREPRESENTATION.

Misrepresentation is the long and
short OF the Democratic platform as
developed by party speakers on the
stump.
McCandless 10 disappearing his
position toward the Hawaiians, and
he knows 1t.
Others are disappearing the po-
sition of the Territory in its relation
to European immigration; some of
them know 1t and others are, unfor-
tunately, not properly informed and
are like the blind leading the blind.
Misrepresentation is the position
of more than one candidate. on the
Democratic ticket. who is nominally
running on an anti-immigration
platform and privately repudiating
it,
Misrepresentation is what the peo-
pie will certainly obtain by voting
the Democratic ticket.
Is that what you think will serve
Hawaii's best interests
