The sole purpose of the census is to
secure general statistical information
regarding the population and resources
Of the country, and replies are requir-
ed from individuals only in order to
permit the compilation of such gen
eral statistics. The census has moth
ing to do with taxation, with army or
jury service, with the compulsion of
school attendance, with the regulation
of immigration, or with the enforce
ment 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 disclosure will be
made, regarding any individual person
or his affairs. For the due protection
of the rights and interests of the per-
sons furnishing information every en-
ployee Of the census bureau is pro-
hibited, under heavy penalty, from dis
closing any information which may
thus come to his knowledge.
L therefore earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly, complete
ly, and accurately all inquiries adj
dressed to them by the enumerators or
other employees of the census bureau,
and thereby to contribute their share
toward making this great and neces-
sary public undertaking success. v
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

ELKs ENJOY POOL MEET
j. G.. Hood and Peter Schmitt Furnish
Interesting Amusement for Elks

One of the most successful informal
social entertainments of the year was
given by the Kenosha Lodge of Elks
on Monday evening when more than
hundred OF the Elks and their friends
witnessed a pool match at the club
rooms. j. G. Hood, the world s cham
pion fancy pool player was the feature
Of the evening and he gave the big
crowd a full hour Of fancy pool play
ing after which he met Peter Schmitt,
the Wisconsin state champion, in a
fifty ball match. The men played only
for fifty balls and Schmitt never had
a chance to get started as Hood twice
ran the fifteen balls and then left
Schmitt such difficult shots that there
was no chance for him to make any
showing. In addition to this was the
fact that the Kenosha player had not
had any practice for several weeks.
After the pool matches were over the
Elks and their guests had an Informal
smoker.

loon were confined to the city or vii
lage in which it is located, it would
not be matter for the county to de-
eide.
But the influence of the saloon ex-
tends from the city out into the coun-
try for radius of several miles.
Whatever the influence Of that sa-
loon is it is felt in the country sur
rounding the city as well as in the
city.
All the people living within the
phere of influence of a saloon have a
right to a voice in the final decision
as to whether that saloon shall exist.
Anything short of this is an in
fringement upon personal liberty.
For personal liberty is not one
sided.
The rights of every individual are
defined by the majority and are limit
ed by the comfort, peace and safety of
the many. There can be no organic
ed society which does not recognize
this principle.
Not to abide by the will of the ma
jority would be anarchy.
1t is confession of the weakness of
their cause for the liquor interests to
oppose this plan for regulation.
They cannot fight this principle
without admitting that they fear to
submit their cause to the people who
live within the sphere of influence of
the saloon.

locating the guilty party. In his
strong Italian dialect he declared
that a man came to his office the first
part of the week and represented to
HIM that he had been a member of the
jury which had tried Hasten and that
1t had been his warm support of Kas-
ten that had turned the tide of the
jury and caused them to bring in a
verdict giving Hasten his freedom.
He represented further that he was in
trouble and ended up with securing a
hundred dollars from Lenzi on the
strength of the friendship for Hasten.
Lenzi counted out the cash and he
was assured by the alleged juror that
it would be returned in few days.

seriously over the matter he reached
the conclusion that he had been duped

office. AS yet he has not found him
and while talking with the officials to-
day he declared that he did not believe
that the man was member of the jury
at all. The mayor of Gary is frugal
mayor and what he is looking for is
to recover his money. At first his
story caused big sensation among the
officials of the county, but later when
the list of jurors had been canvassed
the officials reached the conclusion that
it was simply case of swindle.

Following the crusades the knights
of the Cross, one of the monkish mill
tary orders that took part in the lat
er crusades, established an independent
kingdom in that section of Poland,
part of which is now German territory
and part Russian. Many fruitless at
tempts were made to wrest from them
their possessions, not only by the Pc
hsh and Slavish people, but by tie
German princes.
Over 200 delegates attended the
meeting which was held at the resi-
dence of S. M. Lempicki, 454 Mitchell

WANTS ALLEGED JUROR CAUGHT
Mayor of Gary, Illinois, Proves to be
Easy Picking for Man Who Knew
His Love for Man Tried on Murder
Charge in Kenosha-

Modesto Lenzi, mayor of Gary, Ill
inols has been stung and he is spending
a lot of time in Kenosha finding out
who stung him. Lenzi was very pic
turssque Italian character who seems
to be the main owner of Gary, but who
first became known in Kenosha when
he came to this city to testify as a
character witness for Herman Hasten,
recently tried for murder and acquit-
ted in the circuit court for Kenosha
county. Lenzi was the most vigorous
character witness that the attorney for
hasten produced and he seemed to
take the greatest interest in the out
come of the trial.
Lenzi left Kenosha with Hasten on
the day of the trial and he was not
seen in the city again until last Sat
urday when he came under the cloak
of secrecy to discover the identity of
one Of the members of the jury in the
HASTEN case who he claimed managed
to "touch" him for hundred dollars.
Lenzi has not as yet made the selec-
ton and he has come to the awful
conclusion that it is just possible that
he has been the victim of swindler
who managed to work on his tender
sensibilities hard enough to get him
to give up his money. Lenzi told the
story Of the incident to the sheriff and
his aids and asked for their aid in

With the Aid of Reinforcements They Are Finally Landed in
 City Jail.

When Officer Bradley went into a ] restaurant conducted in the rear of a Washington street saloon early yes terday morning for the purpose of quieting a disturbance in which half dozen drunken MeXicans were Inn plicated. the seNtet promptly buried their differences and turned upon the officer. One particularly aggressive member of the party came in for nee essary protective measures upon the part of the officer.
 Tn the melee the MeXicans managed to reach Central avenue just about the time endorsements arrived to assist the officer. Five or the fight CTS were promptly taken to the police station and later a search revealed the absence Of the man who had rc- ceived the most severe attention from Officer Bradley. He was apprehended a few minutes later and like his com panicns was taken to the police sta ton.

CHANUKA SERVICE
 IN MELCzER HALL
First Public Service of Rev. R. Hos. tadter of Congregational
 Emanuel.

The Chanuka service of Congrega . tion Emanuel in Melczer's hall last night was attended by goodly con gregation representative of the en- tire Jewish community of the city. IL was the first public service. at least the first including a sermon in En- glish. of the newly organized congre- gation and it indicated an earnest desire on the part of the people of that faith to make their organiza- ton a lasting one.
 The Chanuka service is commem- ora tive of the victory of Judas Mac cabeus over the Syrlans and that page from Jewish history gave the minis ter. Rev. R Hostadtcr. most timely foundation for the subject of his s,r- mon which was "The Jew as d Sol dier.' The sermon was not long one and was preceded and followed by ritualistic services peculiar to that people, in both Hebrew and English but the sermon was spoken in En- glish.
 Mir. IIostadter in dealing with the subject given began with the most ancient history of the race dating back approximately 5000 years and touched on the more important wars in which the Jews as a nation were q factor. until they became no longer a nation. The central idea of his discourse was that the Jew faithful to the commandment Thou Shalt Not Kill" had been q warrior in sell defense. and never had the Jewish people as q race, waged war for the purpose of aggression or conquest They, do not regard killing for such purposes as different from any other form of murder. But doing battle in self defense the speaker contendcd that no race of people had fought more valiantly or suffered more se- Verely oT more herOically.
 Passing down from the beginning mention was made of David the poet warrior who offered himself as the shepherd fighter and subsequent
