MEANING OF WILLOW PATTERN

The willow pattern is a Chinese de.

as far back as the thirteenth century;

Gated design containing many figures
in small space. In the foreground is
palatial building, around which
cluster impossible trees laden with
flowers and fruit.
Close by is lake, an inlet from
which hang the dropping limbs of a
willow tree, and far out in the lake is
a houseboat. Three figures are pass
ing over the bridge, while high up in
the air a pair of billing and cooling
doves are suspended. The imaginary
legend of the willow pattern design is
said to be as follows:
A nobleman living in the palace
had fair daughter who had fallen in
love with youth of low degree. One
night, with the help of ladder, the
youth abducted the willing maiden
ana the somewhat shapeless figures
on the bridge are supposed to repre-.

bundle of finery, the daring lover,
bearing the ladder, and the irate ia.

THE AGONY Is OVER.

The Legislature has adjourned. To
say the people at large are thankful is
putting it mildly. There was really
nothing important to do but cut ex-
penses. This was not attempted save
in the line of education, where tapping
OF should come last. Salaries were
raised, taxes were increased and the
State alarmed il so many instances
that if one pick I'd up the newspapers
and found nothing dangerous done
that day q deep sigh of relief was heard
as it was certain the end was one day
nearer. Only few persons manage
affairs down in Richmond. A new
member has about as much chance to
make himself felt as pig to jump a
picket fence. All he can do is to sit in
his set and look wise, answer roll calls,
and write a few disultory letters home
ON stationary bearing the Arms of the
Common wealth.
The public cannot understand why
our expenses have so enormously in
creased, that taxes have to be put on
new subjects every year. They could
understand it better if they could see a
few things which take place in the
State, if they could look in on head
quarters and hear the planning and
scheming going on in the ''holy of the
holies" when the high ''muck-a-
nucks," the ''grand Lamas" of the
party meet and arrange their plans.
Then they would know why, when we
had three millions income taxes were
raised; when we had five millions in
come taxes were again raised; when
we have six millions income taxes are
being again raised. The State is no
larger than years ago. 1t may be some
what weather., but the increase in
general wealth has not given demand
for an expenditure OF six millions as
against three millions few years ago.
Every movement of statecraft seems
to be in the direction of increased tax
alton. The nation has set the pace and
the states are following in that lead.
We have additional expenses of course;
many indeed that are not necessary.
We have new officers which are Gre
ated for henchmen and which bench
men are now occupying. We have
other needless holes into which to pour
money. and every year our established
institutions need something additional.
But these last are usually worthy, the
others are in many cases not worthy.
We got of easier than we expected.
We should offer up thanks that the
agony is now over.

A Proclamation.
BY the President of the United States
of America.

BY the President of the United States
of America.
Whereas by the Act of Congress ap-
proved July 2, 1909, the Thirteenth
Decennial Census of the United States
is to be taken, beginning on the fif-
teenth day of April, nineteenth hun
dred and ten; and
Whereas correct enumeration of
the population every ten years is re-
quired by the Constitution Of the Uni
ted States for the purpose of determin-
ing the representation of the several
States in the House of Representatives;
and
Whereas it is of the utmost import
ance to the interests of all the people of
the United States that this census
should be coMplete and accurate re-
port of the population and resources of
the country:
Now, therefore, 1, William Howard
Taft, President of the United States Of
America, do hereby declare 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 oc-
cupied 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 information
regarding the population and resources
of the country, and replies are required
from individuals only in order to per-
NIT the compilation of such general
statistics. The census has nothing to
do with taxation, with army or jury
service, with the compulsion of school
attendance, with the regulation of inn
migration, or with the enforcement Of
any national, state or local law or ordi-
nance, nor can any person be harmed
in any way by furnishing the informa
ton required. There need be no feal
that any disclosure will be made re
garding any individual person or his
affairs. For the due protection of the
rights and interests of the persons
furnishing information every employed
of the Census Bureau is prohibited
under heavy penalty, from disclosing
any information which may thus conn
to his knowledge.
l therefore earnestly urge upon al
persons to answer promptly, complete
| ly, and accurately all inquiries address
ed to them by the enumerators or othe
employees Of the Census Bureau, ant
thereby to contribute their shar
toward making this great and neces
sary public undertaking success.
In witness whereof, have hereunt
set my hand and caused the seal of tn
United States to be affixed.
