are wonderful pieces of mechanism that have been developed in the cen sus bureau. To E. M. LaBoiteaux and Edward Nelson, who have been at the bureau F and 20 years respectively, belongs the credit for developing them.
 It is through these machines that persons who divulge personal informa- tion lose their identity after the census sheets reach the figure factory" Rec ords of individuals, factories, farms, mines, quaries and the like are first taken on census blanks, called sheets. When one of these sheets is fed into the figure factory, it becomes a card, nameless, with a bunch of holes punched in it. These cards constitute the raw material in it's second stage. They are fed into the sorters and tabulating machines and the finished product there turned out is called statistics.
 But the census is not all machine work. The averages turned out by the machines have to be polished and interpreted. Dr. Joseph A. Hill, chief statistician of revision and results, is fascinated with figures. That is why he has stayed in the department 20 years. His job is to take these fig ures and dress them up so the ordi- nary man can make heads and tails of them.
 Some people say that statistics are as dry as dust, but Dr. Hill hasn't found them so.
 Another thing the bureau will de- termine is: If platform was built over the United States. and if the peo- pie would all stand still in their homes, and the platform was raised up few feet, where would a pivot have to be placed to balance the plat form. The last pivot was placed in Bloomington, Indiana. The next one will move south and west, but remain in Indiana. This is the center of population.

endeayor Legislatures will help perceptibly in this work and so will business associations.
 This is suggested by the announcement that there will be held at Houston Texas beginning today 'readjustment conference called by the Associated Industries of Texas The purpose of the conference is to discuss matters which will be subjects legs- ative consideration both in Washington and the state legislature. Doubtless it is intended to make mendations both to congress and the legislature with respect the treatment of those matters which most immediately affect commercial and industrial ill- terests of the state.
 One of these readjustment matters, though it may not have been recognized as such or thought of as such, up in Phoenix the other day in which representatives of the merchants of this city and for that matter of the whole country appeared before the meeting of the asking for relief in the busi ness of assessing their stocks of goods It shown that it would be manetly unfair assess them under the system that has been in in this state when in the nature of things within the ensuing year there will he a great decline of values We mention this only incident of rcadiustment.

 For the purpose of furnishing free in- formation about opportunities to those who wish to engage in rarming, stock raising. dairying and kindred pursuits, the Snited States Railroad Administra- ton has established a homeseekers' bureau.

The 0istilIers' Proposed Offensive.

It appears from the dispatches that the dstilling interests preparing to attack not only the time prohibition law but the federal prohibition amend ment in case of adoption principal grounds We do not see how a constitutional amendment may be successfully attacked on constitutional grounds It is possible that such attack might be launched against the time prohibition measure. It may be said of it that proposes great destruction of prop erty and nterferes with the constitutional rights of states That may be true This law may be in the category of war measures, it is believed by eminent lawyeI. which would not stand test in the supreme court.
 But q constitutional amendment is different mat ter hardly be complained that it proposes to impose the will of the people thirty-six upon the people of the remaining twelve states, since the clares that in that way constitutional amendments may be effected. We do not know that any amend mont has been adopted with the consent of all the states. If it is wrong to impose the will of three fourths the upon the other fourth is equally wrong to impose the will of forty states upon the forty eighth.
 the matter of the destruction of enterprise in which so many millions of dollars have been in- vested have witnessed the destruction of the in stitution of slavery in which considerable part of the wealth of great section of the country in people cannot accomplish whether just and wise or not if majority of them in each of three fourths of the states say that it should be done.
