MAY USE
MAIL CARRIERS
In CENSUS WORK

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. is
City and rural mail carriers from the
Wilmington postOfice may be called
upon to help largely in taking the
next census OF population if the
plans of Director E. Dana Durand
materialize Mr. Durand believes
that this great army of Federal en-
ployes can be used to advantage
when the next census is taken
The Senate committee on apprq-
priationS has been looking for an opA
portunity to reduce the cost OF taRe
ing the census every ten years. and
when Mr. Durand suggested his plan
Senator Overman. a member OF the
census committee looked upon 1t with
favor The cost Of the taking Of the
census in this country. as compared
with the taking OF tho census in
other countries, shows that in 1910
it cost Uncle Sam about S140O0.O0O. In
Great Britain, Mr.. Dnrand said, the
cost is about s25O.OO0, although this
docs not include the census Of Rgri-
cultural and manufactures as that OF
this country does. In Germany IL
costs less than S1,OOO.OOO to take a
census
Il think we ought to take our
.censuses more cheaply" declares Mr..
Durand, but we cannot do so If Con-
gress requires us to ask as many
questions as we do and requires us
to use the methods we used this time
i'm collecting figures. | think we
could save great deal by using the
city and rural mail carriers.
1t is entirely feasible to use this
class of Federal employees" contin-
ued Mr. Durand They know the
people and they are going through
the country, anyway. The great adj
vantage is that you would have in
them people who have some moral
and legal responsibility to do their
work properly When YOU hire an
enumerator for fifteen days. and he
does not do his work property. what
control have you over him? think
that is an important consideration" "
So Wilmington mail carriers. and,
in fact, all of those in Delaware, have
the prospect of being used at the
next census as enumerators along
with their other duties.

DOVER Del. Jan lS.--Whcn tho

fight had resolved itself down to a
question OF whether or not there

HOTELS IN BAD BUSINESS

Testimony as to the part played by certain downtown hotels in father1ng the downfall of young girls, was given at the session of the Illinois leg islative white slavery commission which is attempting to determine why girls drift into immoral lives.
 George Tollen, an employee of a hotel few doors from detective head quarters, told how girls as young as fifteen were brought to that place. there in taxicabs in state of intoxi- cation, Tollen declared. He said he often heard the girls sobbing and pleading in the rooms Sixteen rooms in the place were rented nightly to an average of a hundred couples, he said. The proprietor of one of the dance halls was brought into court after his name was given to the Juvenile Protective Association. He said he always called his patrons man and wife, not boys and girls.

or Florida during the spring training season.
 It has been the object of MT. McGil- licuddy and other great baseball man. agers to take their teams where they could have games with other teams. Now they have given up that notion and get the men in shape by playing games between squads of their teams
 This could be done in Yuma as we'll as any other place and, at the same time, the men would Timber up" quicker in the warm sunshine here than in the cold countries where they have been in the habit of train. ing. The conditions for spring train ing here are ideal and the day isn' far distant when the baseball men will begin to realize thiss
 If Yuma could persuade one mag nate to try our climate one season the result would be so pleasing to the baseball men that all the teams would come here and Yuma would be the baseball Mecca in the spring.
 Think of an entire spring training season spent without one single day missed because of bad weather. An( the season could be started here earli CT than in any other party or tn country. In fact, the magnate could nave his men remain here all winter and they could keep themselves in perfect shape by outdoor exercise ot all kinds
 The life-giving climate here W put the men in good condition even they didn't practice much, and when he baseball season opened the team that had been practicing in Yuma would walk away from the others just IS the New York Giants walked away in the National League last year.
 MT. Connie Mack should be told of these things so that he would not go to Florida where they have to drain the land and where the, alligators are likely to disturb the practice games.

I celebrate myself; And what I assume you shall assume; i; For every atom belonging to me, as
 good belongs to you.-Walt Whitman.
 Who can read Walt Whitman with out pain-the pain of longing to be free?
 Therefore, read Walt Whitman, says the Kansas City Star.
 Not that he will make you free. The great mass of men and women may not celebrate themselves" But the longing to be free is the great for ward urge of the race. But no other way can advancement come. Per haps the longing to be so helps make the soul immortal"
 The great elemental good that is in men and in the universe shines through Walt Whitman. Democracy, comradeship, the egotism that means individuality, elf-reliance-these are the strength of Walt Whitman's verse
 ''The high-towering love op com radesi" Where is there finer phrase?
 Hear this voice of progress: q say discuss all and expose all
 I am for every topic openly; I say there can be no salvation for
 these states without innovators-
 without free tongues, and ears will
 ing to, hear the tongues; And I announce as a glory of these
 states that they respectfully listen
 to propositions, reforms, fresh views
 and doctrines, from successions of
 men and women, Each age with it's own growth"

MORE ADVANTAGES OF YUMA's
 CLIMATE

Connie Mack, who has been taking his baseball team to Texas for train ing in the spring, is disgusted with the climate of that state and IS talk ing of going to Florida or some other nlace where the weather can be de nended upon. This spring his team enent one-half the time keeping out of the cold rains or sitting py the fire thawing out their fingers.
 Connie Mack and all other baseball noaerates should learn of the wonder tul climate of Yuma, where the sun is always shining and the weather ever fine" Their baseball players could come here as early as they wanted to, in the winter, and they could play baseball in much warmer climate than they will find in Texas
