From the Loudou Daily News.
At cost of only G13500O, and by
means, of staff numbering about
2,0Ou,000 persons, a general census of
India was taken on the night of
March 10, 1911, the results of which
are embodied in a large volume issued
by the India Office as a Blue Book.
The difficulties Of taking census OF
n population numbering about 100000

miles wero enormous. They were cs-
pecially great owing, as the report
puts it. TO the long lines Of railway,
the big rivers on which boats travel
sometimes for days without coming to
the bank, the forests to which wood
cutters resort often for weeks at a
time and the numerous sacred places,
which, on occasion, attract many
thousands of pilgrims. People mad
10 be enumerated wherever they were
caught. In the case of railways, for
instance, all persons travelling by rail
who took tickets after o'clock on the
night of the census were enumerated
either ON the platforms or in the
trains Tho latter were all stopped at
q o'clock on the following morning, in
order to include any travellers who
up till then had escaped notice.
In spite Of this, and owing to the
vast work done preliminary, the re-
suits for the whole Of India were re-
ceiyed complete on March 10, and
were issued in print the next day.

with justifable pride. is not APP

It is confined heard, among those who would profit by the con yenton system. But the primary system will never be abandoned. The people will never surrender any right that has been reserved to them whether or not they exercise that right wisely and advantage ously themselves That would be a confession of the majority that the majority is not fit rule, and that would be admission that democratic form of government is failure
 The primary system is faulty and We will con- cede that as it is applied the best men are not selected for office Conventions might and usually have made wiser selections for office: not because the conventions really wanted better candidates, but because the politicians who control conventions realize that the best men are the likely be elected and contribute party success.
 But defective primary system will be im proved. There is yet too much party machinery connected with it. It must be divested of that. The people yet to learn that officers are elected 60 serve party, but to the people. and that who is the best for democrats, progressives and republicans alike When the people have learned this, they will make of the primary system the thing it ought be- and then it will be all right When the people have learned to use the powers that have been reserved to them, there will be no talk in Orgon elsewhere of going backward.

WAR BIRDS AND GAME

The feathered tribe of Belgium and Northern France has been dispersed by the din of war, says Paris correspondence of the Associated Press In all the districts of the Marne it noticed after the battle that the birds had disappeared. The Ar gonne forests also have been nearly depopulated Of all kinds of game by the continual turmoil in those regions Driven to detached woods and thickets where their dangers would have been increased in time of peace, they find security Apart from their enforced exile birds the least fortu- of being in these times, gome shooting being prohibited in France
 The markets furnished evidence that poaching going on however, and the Minister War issued a warning that the sale of other than imported refrigerator game would be tolerated Early in the soldiers supplemented their ratiors by taking hare pheasant here and there, but this stopped by order.
 Scarcity of game in the market is hardship for it is small part of the amentation of Paris The arrivals amount annually to only 1000 tons of native and 450 tons of imported game. while the tons.
 Belgium sends 50,0O0 arks Paris each season. while the mportations from countries Austria, 2500 deer, S0000 cartridges 50,000 hares: Italy 25oOO quail; Australia 100000 rabbits 20O0C hares and 50, larks; England 10000 pheasants and 10000 cartridges. An effort is being made to sub sttute the Russian reindeer for Austrian deer.

The Chain Cana

A correspondent who has been outrase by the complains of it as a mediaeval institution. But his chief grievance is that it is standing violation of the laws of the state against the employment of aliens public works. That leads inquiry to what constitutes employment. If the spondent's seeming construction of the prohbitory employment law carried out, half the convicts who employed in road building could work the public highways.
 The law against employment of aliens public works had reference, we believe, only remunera- tive employment and not to punitive employment. But if our correspondent any other citizen who believes that America made for Americans, believes that the chain gang is taking bread out of his mouth he has his remedy, swift and easy. All he has do is commit misdemeanor which will land him in the city jail, and he will be entitled employment and all the emoluments appertaining to service the chain gang. It is foolish complain publicly about thing which he fix himself.
 The chain gang such the correspondent has lively recent institution. It has relation to the chained slaves or serfs of the middle ages, under the control Of a petty lord. who compelled to repair the roads within his feudal domain. At much later period prisoners. whether prisoners for debt or for petty crimes and misdemeanors, were not compelled to work for the public. They were allowed to rot in idleness in the jails.

BRITISH ARMY HAD TROUBLE
 WITH FOREIGN FARM HORSE

A young officer, just nome from the front. relates some amusing stories of his experiences, which were printed in the London Tele- graph. He says:
 At the commencement of the re- tiremert from Mons our party had several motor cars and a taxi for the baggage. We, however, lost the main body and retired on our own, and then the taxi broke down. The Germans were not far behind. so we loaded up Ihe car with all the bag gage and mounted our cycles, con irving to outdistance the Germans The motor, however, began to suffer under the tremendous load, so at Trosville we bought d farm horse and cart. This animal was a big Normandy mare, whose highest rate Of progression was about three miles an hour. She was named Susan na. She had a high collar, with musical attachment. and single length of string for navigating pur- poses.
 Unfortunately, the curriculum Of an English public school does not in cluGe foreign farm horse and cart driving, so we spent a good twenty four hours in endeavoring to discover some means whereby we could con trol Susanna. Our labors were not very successful. for the beast charged in turn several attachments of infantry a battery of heavy ar tillery, ripped off the mudguard of a staff motor car, and earned th" blessings of all and sundry of the eXpeditionary force, until at length We discovered that two tugs of the string meant right turn" and three tugs left wheel
 We never learned how to stop Su- sanna, so that when an obstacle pre- sented itself. such as battery or body of troops, we had to jump down, rush to the horses head, lean against her. and push in the opposite direction to which she was going until she was prevailed upon flo pull up.
