Points Regarding the Census

The census begins April Is and
must be completed in two weeks in
cities and in thirty days in all other
areas. The enumerators will wear
q badge inscribed United States
Census. 1910"
The law requires every adult
person to furnish the prescribed in
formation. but also provides that it
shall be treated confidentially, so
that no injury can come to any per-
son from answering the questions.
The President has issued pro-
clamation, calling on all citizens to
CO. operate with the census and as
surfing them that it has nothing to
do with taxation, army or jury SER
vice, compulsory school attendance,
regulation of immigration, or enforce
ment of any law, and that no one
can be injured by answering the in
quires.
1t is of the utmost importance that
the census of population and agri-
culture in this State be complete and
correct.
Therefore every person should
promptly, accurately, and complete
ly answer the census questions
asked by the enumerators.

SLIGO PER YEAR
THINKS TROLLEY IN
VALLEY WOULD PAY
Line Advocated Through Valley o.
Virginia

An article recently appeared in
the Baltimore Sun favoring the es-
Establishments of a trolley line
through the Valley OF Virginia as
far south as Stauntop. This ques-
ton has been considered by bust
ness men as a good business PROPOSE
ton, and for extension even farther
south than Staunton.
Following is the article from the
Sun:
Every traveller has been enamored
with the trip over the Cumberland
Valley Railroad from Harrisonburg,
Pa, TO Martinsburg. W. Va, and
Winchester Va, and the towns of
fredericksburg, Carlisle, Shippens-
burg and Chambersburg, Pa, Hag-
erstown and Williamsporr, Nd. with
their thrift and enterprise in manu-
factories and the rich and highly
improved farms.
Steam railroads and trolley lines
enter and depart f. ON some OF these
cities and towns, while the rich
lands and thriving towns OF West
Virginia and Virginia from Will
Transport through to Martinsburg,
Winchester, Woodstock, Mt. Jackson
and Staunton are without modern
facilities for rapid transit, although
their rich land and fne farms
and towns are in great need OF
them.
A substantial bridge over the Po-
tomac river at Wiliamsport, situated
near the great center of valleys
and the State, opens up great posi-
bilities for these advantages and a
golden opportunity for trolley line
to extend from Williamspori through
to Martinsburg, and on to Staunton
through the intermediate towns OF
Winchester, Woodstock, Mt. Jack
! son aud Harrisonburg, a distance
from the Potomac river OF about 100
miles, with an equal distance from
Harrisonburg.
1t would seem good paying in
vestment and would give this ter
ritory new life and enterprise. As a
criterion, all the territory traversed
by electric lines and railroads has
developed wonderfully
1t seems wonder and surprise
that capitalists have not seen this
open and greatly desired enterprise
and have taken advantage of it in
the past.

ROOSEVELT DECLINED
AUDIENCE WITH POPE
Would Not Accede to Presenta-
ton Under Restrictions
ALL ROME GREATLY STIRRED
Warm Welcome Extended by King
Victor Emmanuel


The audience which it was be-
lieved former President Roosevelt
would have with the Pope on his
visit to Rome last week, did not
take place, owing to conditions
which the Vatican imposed and
which Colonel Roosevelt refused to
accept.
The history of negotiations is
about as follows:
While in Cairo Mr.. Roosevelt re-
ceived the following telegram from
Ambassador Leishman, dated
March %:
Mgr. Kennedy, rector of the
American Catholic College, in re-
ply to an inquiry which 1 caused to
be made, requests that the follow
ing communication be transmitted
to you;
The holy father will be delight
ed to grant an audience to Mr.
Roosevelt April 5, and hopes that
nothing will arise to prevent it.,
such as the much-regretted Incl
dent which made the reception of
Mr.. Fairbanks impossible.
Replying by cable to Ambassador
Leishman, on March IS, Mr.. Roose-
welt said:
Please present the following to
Mgr. Kennedy: 1t would be real
pleasure to me to be presented TO
the holy father, for whom l enter
tain high respect, both personally
and as the head of a great Church.
! fully recognize his entire right to
receive wnomsoever he chooses, for
any reason that seems good to him,
and if he does not receive me, /
shall not for moment question the
propriety of his action. On the
other hand, l, in my turn, must de-
cline to make any stipulation or sub
NIT to any conditions, which in any
way would limit m, freedom of con-
duct. / trust that April 8, he will
find it convenient TO receive me-"
March %, Mr.. Roosevelt in Cairo,
received cablegram from Ambas-
sador Leishmap giving q message
from Mgr. Kennedy, which con-
cluded by saying: The audience
cannot take place except on the un-
Outstanding expressed in the form
er message.
The following day, Mr.. Roosevelt
sent another message to the Ameri
can ambassador saying: The pro
posed presentation is, of course,
now impossible.
The Vatican incident aroused {
great commotion in Rome and or
his a, rival in the Eternal City Col
onel Roosevelt was the centre of at
traction. Twice in one day he was
entertained by the King-in tn,
morning he was received at tn,
Quirinal and rendered a dinner a
the Palace in the evening.

itat1ons upon the power of the inter.
state railroads to issue stocks and
bonds. as I hope we may.
For the protection of our own
people and the preservation of our
credit in foreign trade, I urge upon
congress the immediate enactment Of
a law under which one who, in good
faith, advances money or credit upon
a bill Of lading issued by a common
carrier upon an interstate or foreign
shipment a hold the carrier liable
for the value of the goods described
in the bill at the valuation specified
in the bill, at least to the extent of the
advances made in reliance upon 1t.
II further recommend that a punish.
ment of fine and Imprisonment be i'm.
posed upon railroad agents and ship
pers for fraud or Misrepresentation in
connection. with the issue of bills Of
lading issued upon interstate and for.
eign shipments.
Except as above, l do not recon.
mend any amendment to the interstate
commerce law as 1t stands. I do not
now recommend any amendment to
the antitrust law. In other words, Il
seems to me that the existing legisla-
ton with reference to the regulation
of corporations and the restraint Of
their business has reached a point
where we can stop for a while and wit
ness the effect of the vigorous execu.
ton Of the laws Of the statute books
in restraining the abuses which Ger.
tainly did exist and which reused the
public to demand reform"
