There was q time in the country's
history when military enumerators,
becked by bayonets, went out among
the people to take a compulsory serv-
ice census. Today. under the principle
of universal liability to service, the ex-
ecution of the law is put into the
hands of the people.
The approval Of the new national
army bill and the presidents proclama-
ton Hereunder have been cOincident.
All persons within the age limits pre-
scribed are required to present them
selves for registration at the customary
voting places in the voting precincts
In which they have their permanent
homes, on a day which the president
will announce.
The governor Of each state is the
chief of registration therein. The ma
chinery of registration in each county
is in charge Of the sheriff, the county
clerk, and the county physician, act
ing ex officio, unless a different board
shall be announced by the governor. In
cities containing populations of more
than 10000, the registration will be
under the control of the mayor and Sc
lected boards of registration. In order
that the designated county and city
officials. and the Eeople generally. can
get a clear understanding of the CEN
sus methods the following brief out
line Is given:
The sheriffs, or other designated Off
Gals, Immediately uponcreceiving no.
tice from the governor, shall appoint
registrars for each voting precinct.
Apportionment Of Registrars.
The proportion Of registrars shall be
one for each ITO persons to be regis
tered. Each age to be registered will
comprise about per cent of the popu-
lation.
If, for instance, all men between
nineteen and twenty-five years OF age,
inclusive, are to be registered, the reg
istrar would have to enroll about Z
per cent Of the precinct population.
It Is desirable to accept the services
of competent volunteer registrars to
serve without compensation. All reg
istrars must be sworn.
The voting place In each precinct
must be prepared for registration. Full
printed instructions covering every de-
tail Of registration will be in the hands
Of sheriffs and mayors on the fifth day
after the presidents proclamation.
Cities Of Over 10000 Population.
The mayor of city containing more
than 10000 inhabitants, or the officials
designated by the governor therein,
shall, with approval Of the governor,
appoint for each ward or convenient
minor subdivision containing about 3d.
600 people one registration board, and
shall designate one officer Of each
board to perform duties similar to
those imposed on the sheriff, as here
tofOre outlined. If the mayor desires.
he may appoint central board to CO.

Audit OF

The Democratic administra- I
ton bill to provide for a thor

the state land department from
the time of the admission of the
state into the union TO Jan. 1,
1917, under the supervision and
jurisdiction of the state auditor,
was forced through the senate at
Tuesdays session after a spirited
debate. Senator Rockwell tried
to amend the bill by incOrporat-
ing an amendment to have the
auditing done by non-partisan
party. He was voted down on
straight party vote and the bill
was then passed by a vote of 81
to 4.
The majority machine was in
working order during the entire
session and ponderously passed
over the Republican minority on
several occasions. One of
them was in the defeat of SEN
ate bill No. by Rockwell and
Grant which sought to consoli-
date number of state depart
ments and bring into being the
department of agriculture. 1t
was definitely postponed.
The house bill No. 14t, by the
committee on agriculture and
horticulture, the so-called farm

Business Houses Decorated. DR.. Terry Addresses
Meeting In Interests OF Peace

Washington's Birthday was
celebrated in the usual quiet
manner. Through the day the
banks, county offices and some
of the business houses remained
closed. In the city many homes
we're tastefully decorated with
the national colors, showing to
the observer that the homes of
st. Maries are still loyal to "Old
Glory"
The Government buildings all
remembered the father of our
country and did him due honor.
Windows of the different mer-
chants were trimmed with the
red, white adm blue and flags were
displayed in abundance. The
public schools we're closed, the
day being a legal holiday in this
state.
In the theatres the entrances
we're nicely decorated with the
national colors and other holiday
attire and both theatres remem-
bered Washington on their pro-
grams.
The Redmen lodge remembered
the day by entertaining the dance
loving people with their annual
ball in the Eagle hall. The dec
orations were in the colors OF
the order and with natures green.
The Hagen orchestra furnished
the music and the Redmen cere-
mony of corn and venison was
indulged in at midnight. All
enjoyed themselves immensely.
A Washington Birthday dance
will be held tonight by the band
BOYS at the Grand Theatre. The
hall is decorated with large
flags and an abundance of ma
tional colors. The entire banC
