Too Much Politics

New York State republicans are
baving trouble over the Aids inves-

that the organization rather than
yield is willing to ieopardise pros.

Taft have both attempted to advise
but their suggestions, and orders as
we'll, have been disregarded. In
Philadelphia the Rapid transit com.
pany refuses to arbitrate with its
striking employees and the end Of

ers, considerable saving of the
working time of the farm enumera.
tors, and the removal of much OF
VII ltever misapprehensions and pre-
judices may exist among farmers
with regard to the census are the
important results expected by the
United States Census Bureau to fol-
low the use of the Advance Farm
Schedule, which has been adopted
and will be circulated, through the
rural postmasters, among the farm
ers a short time before the actual
census taking.
The employment of this advance
schedule is a distinct innovation in
census methods. 1t is the logical
and practical outcome of the Census
Bureaus persistent effort for some
time past to give the farmers a clear
and comprehensive preliminary
knowledge Of the Farm Census ques
tions and to induce them TO keep
written records of their farm opera
tions and equipment in readiness for
the call of the enumerstors, begin

Four million copies of the schedule
will be printed, and the distribution
of them among farm owners and ten
ants will be intrusted to the farm
enumerators soon after they are
commissioned. about April /.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
promised the assistance Of his depart.

the schedules. and he will issue in.
structions relative thereto TO the
rural postmasters. They will be re-
quired to address and forward to the
farmers receiving mail at their Off

In note to farmers on the front

BY TIE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.

WHEREAS by the Act Of Con.
gress apl roved July 2, 1909, the
Thirteenth Decennial Census Of the
United States is to be taken, begin
ming ON the fifteenth day of April,
nineteen hundred and ten; and
WHEREAS a correct enumeration
Of the population every ten years is
requiI ed by the Constitution Of the
United States for the purposa of de.
termining the representation Of the
several States in the house of Repre-.
sentatives; and
WHEREAS it is of the utmost i'm
portance to the interests Of all the
people of the United States that this

order to permit the compilation of
such general statistics. The census
has nothing to do with taxation, with
army or jury service, with the com

the regulation of immigration, or
with the enforcement of any nation
al, 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 re-
garding any individual person or hi
affairs. For the due protection of
the rights and interests of the per
son furnishing information every
employee of the Census Bureau is
prohibited, under heavy penalty,
from disclosing any information
which may thus come TO his know
ledge.
Therefore earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly, com
pletely, aud accurately all inquiries
addressed to them by the enumera-
tors or other employees of the Censu>
Bureau, and thereby to contribute
their share toward making this great
and necessary public undertaking q

said:

I think Mont Alto more than holds

"What impressed me? think it
was the restfullness of the pleac-
that and the hope on the faces of
some new arrivals who climbed the
mountain just behind Us, and the
radiant happiness Of those who were
going home cured. There were
plenty of other things-the air which
must have been a surprise to my
Piftsburg lungs-the order and clean
illness Of the place-its size for iti
looks and is a trim village-the cheer
