 Holding that all but work is vain. Too busy to share in the joys of earth, What is the sense of it anyhow? Putting off everything here of worth, Instead of living full life now. What is a dollar more or less.
 A step behind or a step ahead? Live as you go, for the thing success Means nothing the moment that you are

A FARCE

The senate has appointed special committee which is to investigate the cost of living.
 Those who anticipate that it will produce any real facts or any theories of value at liberty to do so but they shouldn't build too much upon the anticipation. Above all, they shouldn't bet on it.
 It isn't even certain that the committee will report that the cost of living is high. It is nor ally certain that it won't report any reasons for conditions that will go anywhere near the heart of the problem.
 It isn't likely to find that the tariff has any thing to do with it, though the tariff costs the American people more than three billions of dollars every year, only 10 per cent of which goes into the public treasury. The rest goes to specially privileged interests.
 It isn't likely to find that trusts have any thing to do with it, though through watered stock, control of distribution and monopoly of service the trusts are able to buy commodities from the producer for less than they are worth and to sell them to the consumer for more than they are worth.
 It isn't likely to find that economic tyranny has anything to do with it, though the worker is dependent for the right to labor upon the will of few and though these few get without earn ing the greater part of what he earns without
 
 getting.
 It isn't likely to find that the republican party has anything to do with it, though the conditions that created this high cost of living have been perperated and perpetuated by that party.
 It ism t likely to find that Wall street has any thing to do with it, though Wall street makes the sources of the peoples wages, dividends and livelihood mere pawns in a great gambling game with huge profits which the people pay.
 It isn t likely to find that any of these things have anything to do with the high cost of liv- ing It will be interesting, then, to hear its reasons.
 In the meantime, its hearings are not open to the public. While the departments of govern ment have been called upon for figures and facts, American consuls abroad have been called upon for figures as to the cost of living in their locations. Which reminds us that at the be- ginning of the tariff struggle in congress Amer ican consuls sent in a large quantity of in- formation of this character which Senator Aid rich hustled to his committee pi pigeon-holes with a promise to make it public in few days. He never made it public, and if it hasn't been de- stroyed it is in those pigeon-holes yet.
 In point of fact, it is being made rather plain that the purpose of the inquiry will not be to find real causes for the peoples hardships and to suggest remedies, but to compile material for the defense of the republican party in the com ing congressional campaign That means that the inquiry will be farce,. and its product worthless.

WRONG VIEWS OF THE CENSUS

When the enumeratorS began the work 0t talk ing the federal census they will have the usual experience of running upon a lot of people who are not quite sure what census is, and who suspect that it conceals some possibility of harm to them.
 This apprehension is based on ignorance, of course, and the census bureau is taking steps to remove it by throwing light into the ignorance. It is asking clergymen, physicians, school teach CTS, employers and others who come in contact with large numbers of people to cooperate with the bureau by telling the people the real facts and urging them to give full replies to the ques- tions asked by the enumerators. Teachers are particularly requested to explain it to their pu- pills, so that they may make it clear to their par ents
 To this end, the bureau has prepared state ment which should be of help in removing un- necessary apprehensions about the census It explains that the Constitution requires census of the population to be taken every ten years in order to reapporton state representation in the national house of representatives It is the means also to ascertain the increase in the pop ulation, agriculture, industries and the re- sources of the nation since the last census.
 It is emphatically declared that the informa- tion sought from the people of the United States is used solely for general statistical purposes Though questions are asked of John Jones about himself, his family, his work, his business, his earnings, etc, John Jones will not appear in the census at all in any way that could be recog- nized by himself or anybody else He will be part of mass of figures covering the whole nation. Individual facts will not be published nor used in any way to disclose facts regarding any individual or enterprise. "The census is not" says the statement, "never has been and cannot be employed to obtain information that can be used in any way in the assessment of property for taxation, or for deportation pro- ceedings, extradition measures, army or navy conscription, internal revenue investigations, compulsory school attendance child-labor law prosecutions, quarantine regulations, or in any way to affect the life, liberty or property of any persona
 That ought to.make it clear enough If you have been telling the assessor that your proper ty is worth only $1, ,000 when in point of fact it Is worth $l ,O00O0O, you needn't be afraid to tell the census enumerator the truth. The assessor won't hear about it, and the only effect it can have upon him is to puzzle him about why his totals of wealth are so ridiculously small com pared with the census totals.
 To clinch it, it is explained that all the census officials are sworn to secrecy and that if they violate that oath they are liable to fine of $l 900 or imprisonment for two years or both
 So you needn t be afraid to tell the census man all about it.

h The Halls of Congress
BY TAV. - Special Washington Correspondence
BY TAV,

Largely owing to the enormous number of new positions created for republican politicians, the present session of congress promises to ap- propriate a sum equal or in excess of $1,103,- 3S7 ,508, which was the amount appropriated for the expenses of the government for one year at the last session. This was the largest sum eX- pended in the history of the government.
 The excess of disbursements over receipts so far in this fiscal year amounts to more than $45,- 000,O00 The total balance in the general fund is now $81 ,995 ,S0523, which is the lowest figure that has been reached in several years. At the close of the fiscal year 1907 the balance in the general fund amounted to $272,0 ,445.47. In other words since the beginning of the fiscal year 1908 the government has spent $190,065- 64024 more than it took in. This situation is astounding, yet the big press associations pay but little attention to the subject. As a result, the mass of the people are but little enlightened on the subject of government finances and re publican extravaganza.
 The increase in expenditure has been going on since the day Grover Cleveland turned the rens of government over to the republican par ty. The increase is much faster than the in crease of population or wealth.
 In 1890 the total annual appropriations for the expenses of the government were $340,OOO,- OOO or $6 for every man, woman and child. In 1900, our expenses had increased to $600,000,- OOO or $8 for every man, woman and child. The last congress appropriated for the expenses of the government for single year the colossal sum of $1, ,103, ,387 50S.01, or $1240 per capita!
 This was an increase of 50 per cent over the expenditures for 1900, and an increase of more than 100 per cent over 1890. AS result a deficit in the finances has become an annual af- fair.
 Where does the money go? large part of it goes to build up tn erepublican machine. There are nearly half million persons in the employ of the federal government, and congress never loses an opportunity to create new offices. Dur ing the first session of the Sixtieth congress there were created 10,692 new offices, and the raise of salaries together with the pay of the new officers, amounted to $21 193,250. During the second session of the Sixtieth congress there were created 3,977 new offices, and salaries were again raised, totaling an additional ex- pense of $7, 7,S07,039.50
 In the last eight years, $7000,000 of incre9 a in expense was due to the addition of 99 225 fed eral office holders The present standing army of the United States numbers only 65,000 men, The increase in office holders partly explains why per capita expense is more than $12 an nually instead of $8, as in 1900
