CENSUS LAW NO joke.
[Omaha Bee.l

Persons who think they may fail or
refuse to answer any question pro-
pounded by the census enumerator
should read the bill ito provide for
the thirteenth and subsequent decen-
NAL censuses'' This act makes 1t a
not only to fail or re-
fuse to answer. but also to answer any
question falsely and imposes a penalty
not less than 800.
The government is earnest in this
effort to obtain an accurate census and
will have spent more than $40 ,O00, 900
to that end. The president and con-
gress, therefore, have taken every pre-
caution by the people. This is shown
in the rigid rules for their protection
with which 1t has surrounded the cen
sus employees. Any supervisor, clerk,
enumerator, Interpreter or agent who
refuses to perform the duties enjoined
on him will be guilty of misde-
meanor and subject to fine OF $500;
for disclosing information he shall be
subject to a fine Of $1,000 or imprison-
nent for two years or both; deliberate
false swearing means perjury with five
years in prison and $4,000 as the max
imum fine, and the gamut of offenses
runs up TO a final penalty of Ave years

A FLYING SWITCH.

Some newspapers are seriously sug-
gesting that Warden Sanders be trans
ferred from the Fl. Madison peniten-
tiary to the Mftchellville reform school.
Some of these argue that the methods
which have made Fl. Madison model
prison are precisely what is needed at
Minchellville tho 10 be condemned al
Ft. Madison. Warden Sanders. Il is
thus suggested, could send out the I'M
fortunate from Mitchellyille better and
stronger. dnferentiany the other IN
fortunates at Fl. Madison should be
removed from the refining and REFORM
atory influences of the same methods.
In short the kindly frmness needed at
GIitchellvine is all wrong at Fl. Madi-
son.
A considerable number of excellent
people retain the idea that q peniten-
tiary should be an annex to hell and
that punishment is vengeful instead Of
reformatory. Some like TO imagine a
prison as an inferno Of despa If without
smile or hope. But we are slowly out
growing that medieval spirit, Sanders
has assisted very much TO the change
OF sentiment and opinion. Perhaps We
had better find another Sanders for
Mitchellville, but we had best keep
Sanders at Fl Madison.
However, .f CAROLS advisers can
prevail Sanders will move perforce
whether or not to Mitchellville at least
out of his Office at Fl. Madison. An
ex-warden, whose complaisant serrility
has made him friend of Carrots
friends wants the place. II 1t can be
accomplished by hook or crook he viii
be taken care Of Other considerations
fail when one of the old guard needs
a job.
How would It do to turn Sanders
out incontinently, I'll his place with
Miss Garrison and put Jones in al
Mitchellvilleo The Garrison methods
should silence the voices raised in
criticism Of the Sanders plan at the
penitentary and Jones couldn't be a
change for the worse at Mitcfellville.

business. could arrange il.
Sanders? O, Sanders could get q
better job any day. He is actually do
ing something besides drawing a salary
from the state.

INDIANA AND STANDPATTERS.

The Indiana republicans want to have
the tariff revised again after data can
be gathered exhibiting the real differ
entail in cost of production here and
abroad. That is also the desire OF the
president and of the great majority of
the party, it being understood that the
examination into the cost of production
shall be conceded by an impartial gov
eminent commission and that the data
obtained shall show the need of re-
adjustment Of duties. A new law could
not well be passed in the near future,
but in urging further revision and in
recognizing the necessity of providing
instrumentalities thru which it can
nationally be brought about the Indiana
republicans appear to be more in har-
mony with the administrators policy
than are those members of the house
of Representatives and the senate who
have sought to block the way to more
action by denying to the
presidents board any power to report
on the cost differential.

A short time ago, a case in which

disgraceful offense was arraigned
before Judge Mann. Martin Burns
testified that she had admitted I'M

preston of unfeigned establishment

plainly that cog was slipping in

Mann did not overlook it, and when
the defendant was placed on the
stand he asked her regarding her
alleged confession,
