COUNCIL Votes TO.
STOP GAMBLING

Heber Scowcroft appeared before
the city council last night to talk for
the petition OF the city Betterment
League asking the council In instruct
Chief OF Police Thomas e. Browning
TO enforce the city ordinances against
gambling In the city.
Mr.. Scowcroft stated that IL was a
shame that gambling should be per
mitted In the city and he said It was
bringing untold odium upon the city
OF Ogden In oil directions. He had
heard adverse criticism on the prac-
ticc in Idaho and Nevada and he was
satisfied that It had spread TO other
sections OF the western country.
The gentleman stated that the spec
tncular raid OF the Betterment Lea
que on the gambling houses of the
city u short time ago was done at the
Instance and suggestion OF the MayT'
and that they, the members OF up
league. were not altogether In sy@-
pathy with the movement. He also
said that It did not help matters at
NIL. for the gambling continued just
the same He thought the city OIL
GERS should be forced TO do their duty
In this respect and stop gambling, tho
same as they strive to stop other
forms of vice aud crime.
President Browning allowed that II
"was burning shame" that gambling
should he permitted in the city and
felt that the Chief should be notified
that the council Will be back OF him
I'm the suppression OF the crime. He
said that Mayor Brewer stopped
gambling and that Chief Browning had
enforced Brewers order To stop IT.
The gamblers, he said. left the city
under the Brewer order TO close the
gaming houses.
"Yes," said Councilman Dana, FOR
about two months Immediately prior
To election time. The houses were

THREE PEACHES
TO THE POUND

l. Stokes, farmer of Roy. Is in
Ogden proudly exhibiting samples of
the kind of peaches he grows on his
farm. The fruit. which is the Elbelta
variety, yielded this season 203 bush
els to the acre, and measure from IL
to II Inches in circumference and 1t
takes but three OF them TO tip the
scales at the pound mark.
Mr. Stokes has reason to be proud
of his crop. Such beautiful specI-
mems are worthy of an honest fruit
growers pride
In the last two Four State fairs,
Mr., Stokes has taken two stake
prizes. and has sold these peaches
for as high as 81 80 per bushel.

gambling ought TO stop In ogden and
10 this end he made a motion that

ing this matter.
Mr.. Humphris said he could not

council TO pass such resolution for

OF the Chief and the Mayor. He did
not think the council had any power

Councilman Austin wondered wheth

police to- stop the gambling game and
he had to break down the doors TO
get TO the gamblers and he should be
killed In the act the city would be
liable for damages. Barker thought
that would make no difference with
the city and that the fathers of the
municipality would not have the
blood of the officers upon their hands
In such an emergency. Some mem
Der of the council suggested that per
haps the Chief would not he killed.
The vote on the question was un-
anlmous that the thing be tried out

The Legislative Program.
The program mapped out BY the
leaders, who favor Oklahoma City as
the capital of the state of Oklahoma,
is that the Cornell bill shall first be-
come a law before any act fixing the
seat Of government will be passed BY
the legislature. After the Cornell bill
has been approved by the governor the
capital location bill will then Be pre-
scented in the house and the senate for
passage
The capital bills are being discussed,
dissected and threshed out in the DEM
ocratic caucuses and the capital loca-
tion committee. When all the differ
ences that exist if any do exist,
among the democrats. have been adj
justed in the caucus, the bill will be
presented for adoption. II any speeches
of opposition to the measure are TO
be made in the house, they will be BY
republican members. From the re-
marks dropped here and there by
members Of the legislature the senii-
ment is very strong for locating the
capital at Oklahoma City. The only
question that is dividing the majority
of the members is the exact spot upon
which shall be placed the capitol
buildings and the method Of selecting
site
II IS predicted that the special ses-
sion will end next Tuesday or Wednes-
DAY. Should there be any hitch in tas
senate over the capital bill, or the
house, for that matter, there is liable
to be a delay Of several days.

Thirteenth Census rs
Considered Honest One

ded census Of the previous decade.
Director Durand's determination TO
make every city come to time with An
honest count has resulted not only in
uncoverIng and foiling every attempt
at deceit in the 1910 census, but ir
showing Up some Or the fiagrant De-
ceptions that were successfully per
peirated ten years ago.
Verifying Counts; Making Recounte.
There has been another reason, be-
sides the large amount Of time and la
Dor which has been put on verifying
counts and making recounts Of padded
returns, why many large cities and
even states have had to wait longer
than usual for the announcement Of
their population. This reason is that
the census bureau this year, to
greater extent than ever before. has
undertaken to comply with special re-
quests for returns where such Ie-
quets were based on good public pol
Icy. In many states. for instance, the
law provides for the automatic crea-
tion of certain county or city offices,
dependent upon the returns Of the Ted
eral census. BY giving this informa-
tion in time for the last general elec-
tion, many hundred special elections
throughout the country were obviated.
In Texas alone the population OF
fifty-eight counties was announced far
in advance of the time when they
should nave been announced in the or
dinary course OF events. Every such
individual case has delayed the gen
eral census work somewhat, bmt III.
each instance a public service was
rendered to the community concerned
in the matter Of its goyernmtnt and
many thousands of dollars was saved
to the taxpayer.
Yet the delays have been more an
noying than important, as the law
does not require that the population.
of the country shall BIT published be-
fore the conyening Of the congress
which fixes the oasis Of representa-
tion The bureau expects to be able
10 comply with this requiremtnt, as
well as to close out the entire census
work in published form within two
years, in accordance with the census
act.
With one or, possibly, two excep-
tions al lof the cities that viii show
more than 100000 population are out
Of the way, and nearly all Of the cities
ranging between $4,000 and 100000
have been published. One-half Of the
population Of the County,, by states,
has betn published and the other half
is being rushed for completion by the
time congress convenes, all other work
being side-traeked for The accomplish
ment of this fact.
When that has been accomplished
there will have been completed a Unit
ed States census that, it Is believed
will stand ont conspicuous for accu-
racy and honesty, two qualities which
Director Durand feels fully warrant
the care and the time that has heen
devoted to the searching inquiry that
has bee cnonducted into every detail
of the enumerators work.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The thirteenth
census, otherwise known as the cen-
sus Of 1910, is expected to go down
into history a. THE honest census"
The greatest trouble that has been en-
countered In an the completely Of CEN
sus faking and census making has
arisen out Of the determination OF
Census Director Durand that this shall
be an honest census. The census
bureau would have had much smoother
sailing and would have been much
further advanced in its work If It were
not for the fact that every effort is
being made to make this the most
accurate as well as the fairest census
that has been taken In recent de-
cades,
There have been other drawbacks,
such as too many restrictions govern
ing appropriations that have lost to
the census bureau the services Of
many skilled men an experts, ipcom-
pesence among enumerators employed
BY supervisors in the field, too often
al the behest Of partisan congressman
to whom the supervisors We're under
obligations But all these drawbacks
have been as nothing compared to the
desperate war which Director Durand
has been forced to urge against an
tempts to pad, in order to get an hon
est count.
Attempted Padding Exposed.
The great thing about the thirteenth
census is that the census bureau has
discovered and exposed the attempted
census padding itself, and has been
the prosecutor of the men guilty Of
the deceptions. In this work Director
Durand would have been seriously
handicapped were It not for the firm
suppora which he has received from
Secretary Nagel of the department OF
commerce and labor. Without such
backing no director of census could
hope to stand out successfully against
the formidable political and business
influence that the cities which were
ito profit by The attempted census de,
ception were able to enlist in their
behalf. The length to which men, high
in the commercial world and high in
political honors, have gone in an ef-
fort to bulldoze the census bureau I'M
Ito eonniving at the attempted popula-
sion frauds has been one Of the as
founding revelations in the unwritten
history Of the present Genus.
Rivalry Between Cities.
Census padding sometimes results
from the keen rivalry between certain
cities Of a state or in a given terri
tory; sometimes It is perpetrated to
aid unscrupulous promoters by max
ing it appear that city is enjoying
boom, and sometimes merely to in
crease the pay Of an enumerator on a
per cent basis. Where this fake has
I been committed on a wholesale scale,
sometimes with the aid and conniv-
ance of the citizens themselves, it has
proven a terribly shortsighted policy,
as certain cities have discovered to
Atheir sorrow this time, for an hon
est census in one year generally shows
decrease in population from a pad
