DEMOCRATS AND THE FOURTEENTH CENSUS

NJ UGH opposition has been developing in the House
Ii over the bin providing for The taking the Four
teenth Deeennla Census required by the Constitution.
To the such piece Of legislation ap-
pears Innocent enough and to bring Il IN this early
date almost two years before the census Will actually
taken looks the surface like commendablc foresight
the part Of those urging the measure But Repre-
sentative Ira G. Hersey, Of Maine leading Republican
the Census Committee OF tho Bouse. has taken the
trouble TO examine into the question and the that
he has disclosed startling indeed
Mr. Herssy has registered his emphatic dlsapproval
Of the legislation at this time although Of course he
realizes the necessity Of giving effect to the pro-
vision Of the Constitution In normal times conservative
action looking to that end would be quite In order,
at this early date. II appears however that many Of
the bureaus OF the Government such the Shipping
Board the Food Administration the enlarged activities
OF various departments ETC., have been making detailed
special estimates and have compiled statistics regarding
many industries ordinarily covered by the To
require that the Census Bureau should 80 that
ground again. Mr. Hersey contends. would be a gross
waste OF time labor and money
Again. the Industrial situation In the country today Is
entirely abnormal All activity Is being concentrated

rapidly discontinued An Industrial census at this time
or even in 1920 two years from would be utterly
worthless after the delay incident to its publication and
the country had adjusted itself to the work Of
struction.
Mr.. Hersey's opposition to the is intensified
by the evident attempt the party control provide
through the census bill means Of taking Of their
political friends
The measure carries increases IN the clerical force Of
the Census Bureau that Congressman Hrsey declares
out OF all proportion TO the needs Of the service For
instance supervisors OF the increased
$50 to AGO. 100000 enumeraors are be appointed
by the supervisors, and IN the Washington once fifteen
additional Statistical experts at 5000 each are to be
placed.
Mr.. Hersey describes a statistical expert as simply
clerk who knows how to adding machine" and
the term merely name under which It sought to
apponees at high salaries and take care Of
the political drfwood who seek at this time an oflce
Of some kind in Washington"
The cost Of the entire census program would amount
under the terms Of the bin TO almost s2OOOOOOO
that Mr. Hersey believes ought to be put useful
purpose especially in view Of the frequent declarations
of economy that come from the administration.
Furthermore the statement that politics is ad-
journed" be put to better proof than by cural-
ing the amount Of patronage contemplated by
the measure.
ITO turn this army Of political appointees loose

Editorial Opinion
CONFUSION IN WASHINGTON.

The Protectionist.
Testifgying before the Senate investi-
eating committee, C. C. McCord, OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission, de-
clared that the priority system had IN
creased instead Of relieved railway
congestion and had been a great detrl-
ment TO business. Priority orders, as
they have been issued" he said, nave
tended to disorganize the whole trans
portstion system. The priority system
has been greatly misused," more than
half of oil the shipments being under
priority orders. I'VE had" he also
said, THE Priority Board, the War and
Navy Departments. the Fuel Admin
lstration and the Food Administration
and the Interstate Commerce Gommis-
sion issuing priority orders. Only con-
fusion and serious hindrance to trans
portation could result"
From the above 1t should be clear
that there are so many committees IN
Washington whose duties overlap thai
they are literally In the way Of eacn
other and are a hindrance, instead OF
help, to the prompt and efficient
transaction Of the public business.
The situation Is so crucial that many,
very many who may still believe IN
Mr.. Wilson's ability have lost conil-
dence in the men with whom he has
surrounded himself and to whom he
has delegated the vast powers which
Congress has placed in his hands.

In branch of the creek which
flowed down through the basin, Bill
had found plentiful colors as soon as
the first big run-olf of water had fallen.
He had followed upstream painstak-
ingly, pannlng colors always, and now
and then few grains of coarse gold
to encourage him in the quest. The
loss Of their horses precluded ranging
far afield TO that other glacial stream

Lewis when he was a free lance in the
North. He was close to his base of

That night they trudged down to the
cabin in high spirits. Bill had washed
out enough during the afternoon to
make respectable showing on Hazel's
outspread handkerchief. And Hazel
was in a gleeful mood over the fact
that she had unearthed a big nugget
by herself. Beginners luck, Bill said
teasingly, but that did not diminish

Bill fabricated his rocker, a primitive,

was, and 1t caught all but the finer

A queer twist of luck put the cap

a splinter Cf wood into her hand, thus
putting stop to her activities with

lost its soreness she was forced to be

one afternoon, armed with hook and

CHAPTER XIII.
The Stress of the Trail.

Roaring Bill dumped his second pack
on the summit Of the Klappan, and
looked away to where the valley that
opened out of the basin showed its
blurred hollow in the distance. But
he uttered no useless regrets. With
horses they could have ridden south
through a rolling country, where every
stretch Of timber gave on a grass
grown level. Instead they were forced
back over the rugged route by which
they had crossed the range the sum-
mer before. Grub, bedding, furs and
gold totaled two hundred pounds. On
his sturdy shoulders Bill could pack
half that weight. For his wife the
thing was physical impossibility,
even had he permitted her to try.
Hence every mile advanced meant that
he doubled the distance, relaying from
one camp to the next. They cut their
bedding to blanket apiece, and that
was Hazel's load-all he would allow
her to carry.
you're no pack mule, little person.
he would say. "It don't hurt me. I've
done this for years."
But even with abnormal strength
and endurance, it was killing work to
buck those ragged slopes with heavy
load. Only by terrible, unremitting eff
fort could he advance any appreciable
distance. They were footsore, and
their bodies ached with WEAKNESS that
verged on pain when they gained the
pass that cut the summit Of the Klap-
pan ranae.

They made better time on the west
ern slope, but the journey became a
matter of sheer endurance. Food was
scanty-flour and salt and tea; with
meat and fish got by the way. And
the black flies and mosquitoes
swarmed about them maddeningly day
and night.
So they came at last to the Skeena,
and Hazel's heart misgave her when
she took note Of its swirling reaches,
the slnuous eddles-a deep, swift,
treacherous stream. But Bill rested

She sat on the edge Of the bed, re-

with extreme dlsfavor. Bill fingered
his thick stubble of beard for a
thoughtful minute. Then he sat down
beside her.

ANIMALS ARE GOOD SWIMMERS
Polar Bear, Who Passes His Time in

Nearly all animals are better SWIM

potamus are wonderful swimmers and
divers, while the Indian elephant
crosses great rivers with heavy loads.
London Tlt-Blts states.
The elk and the reindeer are first
class swimmers. The elk keeps his
head above water and crosses directly
from bank to bank to avoid turning.
The reindeer, on the other hand turns
as often as he likes, keeping his head
only little above the surface. But Of
all swimmers of all climes the best,
though not the swiftest, is the polar
bear, who passes half his time in the
water swimming and diving. His
swimming power is nothing short Of
miraculous if 1t be remembered that
the water In the regions he frequents
Is invariably cold and that cold is nor.

There are bears that can swim from
twenty-five to thirty miles without
great effort.
