Wrong Views Of the Census.

Letters from the census supervi-
sors to the United States Census
Bureau show the erroneous appre.
hension OF considerable element of
the population that their answers to
the enumerators' questions in the
next census, beginning April Is,
this year. will cause increased taxa
ton. legal entanglements. or injuri-
Gus consequences to their persons
and property.
In order TO quiet such unfounded
fears. which would. unless removed
materially affect the accuracy of the
census. the bureau has prepared an
oacial statement relative to the de-.
Genial census. it's origin, purpose.
and uses.
This statement should furnish
complete assurance to those con-
cerned that information given the
enumerstors is held by the Census
Bureau in the strictest confidence
With reference TO the identity of the
intormants. as required by the policy
OF the bureau and commanded by
the law OF the United States.
The bureau earnestly hopes that
ciergymen, priests, physicians.
school teachers, employers, and
other public spirited citizens who
come in contact with large numbers
OF people. will cooperate with the
bureau by telling persons who are
believed to entertain erroneous
opinions Of the census the real facts
and urging them to give full replies
to the enumerators. Teachers are
particularly requested TO speak OF
the census to the school children
and ask them to tell their parents
about 10.
The statement issued by the bu-
reau explains that the Constitution
requires a census OF the population
to be taken every ten years in order
to reapportion state representation
in the National House of Represen-
tatives. 1t is the means also 10 as.
certain the increase in the popula.
ton, agriculture. industries, and re-
sources OF the nation since the last
census.
L. is emphatically declared, by
the statement, that the information
''S~s go az III,
ted States is used Solely fo,r ' general I
statistical purposes. 1t will neither |
be published nor used in any other
way to disclose facts regarding
any individual or enterprise.
The census, it goes on to say, is
not, never has been, and can not be |
employed to obtain information that
can be used in any way in the as
sessment of property for purposes
OF taxation or the collection OF faxes,
either national, state, or local; or
for deportation proceedings, extradi-
ton measures, army or navy con-
internal-revenue investi- |
cations, compulsory school attend
ance, child-lsbor law prosecutions,
quarantine regulations, or in any
way TO affect the life, liberty, or
OF any person.
1t points out that replies to the
are and must be held
by the Census Bureau in strict and
absolute confidence. Allthe bureau
supervisors, supervisors
clerks, enumerstors, and interpre-
ters, before entering upon their du-
ties, are obliged to take a solemn
oath not to disclose any Information
they may obtain, except to the Cen
sus Bureau. and a violation OF the
United States law in regard to this
oath means q 81. 900 fine or impri-
sonment 'or two years. or both, in
the discretion OF the court.

Sometimes persons who advertise

he who expects TO get benefit from

An odd Decision.

In Paris the question has been
raised: Should mature ladies be
barred from bringing breach of prom
Use actions?" This question is sug-
gested by a decision Of the French
courts
A lady OF thirty-nine brought an
action for breach OF promise of mar
riage against widower of seventy
nine, who had family of grown-up
children. The court dismissed her
case on the following grounds:
Whereas, owing to her age, plain
tiff had sufficient experience Of the
world to know that there is an eIe-
ment or uncertainty III every matr''
monial scheme, and that up to tho
wedding day each party is still free
to withdraw, especially in the present
case, when the future bridegroom was
a man already OF advanced age, with
a family which might-and, as mat
ter Of fact. did--bring pressure to bear
TO break off the match.

SETTLER" FOR THE ORATOR
Boys Question Ended the speechma-

Daniel Fl Grady, the brilliant young

permitted him to make a speech. The
colonel responded to the toast, THE
Emerald Isle" at big St. Patrick's
day banquet some years ago, and he
made good his ancient reputation as a
long distance taiker. After recalling
the history Of ireland during all the
distressful centuries with close atten-
tion to details. the speaker paused for
breath The audience was glad Of the
respite.

BETTER THAN GOLDEN EGGS
Figures Prove That Product Of Prize
Hen Was Far Greater Than That
from Fabled Goose.

Recently a hen was exhibited at
Wilkesbarre, Pa, and took all the
prizes as the best of her kind SO inn
portant did she grow in the estima-
ton OF the holders that her owner
was offered $4,000 for her but re-
fused it. At about this time the hen
laid an egg and, that 1t might be evil
dent that she was producer as well
as a show bird, her owner allowed the
product OF her labor to remain in the
pen with her. This was a tactical
blunder, for the egg was purloined
shortly and has not been seen since.
Now there is well-known story to
the effect that goose Of the dim and
distant past once laid a golden egg.
Taking 1t that the historian was sure
OF his facts, this goose Of fame has no
such claim upon renown as has the
Wilkesbarre hen. Here Is bag Of
gold containing $4,000 in the treas
ury at Washington which visitors are
allowed to lift to get the idea Of just
how heavy that much money Is It
weighs something like thirty pounds.
Now II the egg Of this hen, with the
prospect of being hatched into a
creature as valuable as the parent, is
estimated as being worth one-tenth as
much as she is, the stolen egg would
be worth 81 1,000-whlch amount OF
money would weigh three pounds or
as much as two dozen eggs. So the
egg Of the Pennsylvania hen is worth
"a times as much as the greatly.
touted goose egg and deserves fame
