 Whereas, by the Act of Congress approved March 3, 1919, the Four teenth DecenniaI Census of the United States is to be taken beginning on the second day of January. 1920; and
 Whereas, 8 correct enumeration of the population every ten years is re- quired by the Constitution of the United States for the purpose of de- ternlintng the representation of the several States in the House of Rep resentatves; and
 Whereas, 1t is Of the utmost i'm portance to the interests of all the people of the United States that this Census should be a complete and ac- cuTate report of the population and resources of the Nation;
 Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Will son, President of the United States of America, do hereby declare and make known that, under the law aforesaid it Is the duty of every person to an swer all questions on the census schedules applying to him and the family to which he belongs, and to the farm occupied by him or his family. and that any person refusing to dc so Is subject to penalty
 The sole purpose of the Census Is to secure general statistical infcrma- ton regarding the population and re- sources Of the country and replies are required from individuals only to per. nit the compilation of such genera. statistics No person can be harmed in any way by furnishing the informa. ton req qnired- The Census has notf. ing to do with taxation, with military

How to Shed @ Rough,
 Chapped or Blotchy Skin

This is what you should do to shed a bad complexion: Spread evenly over the face, covering every inch of skin, thin layer of ordinary mer- colized wax. Let this stay on over night, washing it off next morning. Repeat daily until your complexion is as clear, soft and beautiful as a young girls This result is inevita bIe, no matter how soiled or withered the complexion. The wax literally absorbs the thin film of surface skin, exposing the lovely young skin be- meath. The process is entirely harm less, the old skin coming off so gently and gradually.
 Mercolized wax is a veritable won der-worker for rough, chapped, red dened, pimpIed, freckIed or sallow skin. It is obtainabIe of course at any drug store, and one ounce usu- ally suff1ces.-Adv.

TIME President rightly considers the
treaty "leak" in the same spirit as
would any honorable party to solemn
contract of which violation had been
made. This is apart from the question
as to whether his entry into such an
agreement in the first place was justi-
fable or wise. With the other Entente
governments, however, he did pledge
himself not to communicate the text Of
the document at this time. Action to the
contrary wor'i have been palpable case
of faith breaking.
The investigation which he has in
dorsed in his cable to Senator Hitchcock
rs equally logical. The treaty is out.
One draft of it, alleged to be authentic.
is ordered printed in the Congressional
Record 1t is not surprising that this
revelation occurred, since copies of the
document were easily procurabe in Ger
many. The "leak" may have been sprung
in neutral countries, and perhaps through
tortuous channels in England, France,
Italy or America.
In any case, the congressional inves-
tigation, whatever Interests" financial
or political, it may unmask, is the proper
way to handle most unsavory affair.
The text disclosure is especially harm
full from the fact that it does not exhibit
the treaty upon which the Senate will be
asked to pass judgment. That document
in definite form is, even today, nom
existent. 1t is likely that significant
changes will be made as result of the
negotiations with Germany this week.
Even to those senators whose hatred
Of what has been accomplished in Paris
is most intense, it ought to be apparent
that criticism Of treaty which is not
s the real thing is work of futility.

THE "SPROUL IDEA"

GOVERNOR SPROUTS evident dis
taste for commencement generalties
paipably moved him to be both specific
and lucid in his address made to the
Swarthmore College graduates yester
day. While the guiding principle of his
recipe for good citizenship is admittedly
difficult to realize, the practical instru-
ment for expressing it is Immediately at
hand.
This agency is the ballot, and the Gov
ernor's rebuke to so-called "independ-
ents" or "reformers" who fret over
abuses without taking the trouble to rec
tsfy them at the polls is logically unim-
peaehable. Its timeliness is especially
Significant just now, when the expected
national enfranchisement of women fore
casts such vast new opportunities for
rendering government a truly co-opera-
tive enterprise.

conduct which the Governor sets up is,

from all parts of the country deal very fully,

TINE nation will watch the proceedings
Of the annual convention of the Amerl-
can Federation Of Labor at Atlantic City
during the next two weeks with as much
concern as they followed the deliberations
of the annual convention in Buffalo in
1917.
The pacifiSts and the pro-Germans
made a desperate attempt two years ago
to commit the federation to policy OF
opposition to the war and to transform
it into Class-Conscious organization
which should take advantage of every OPP
portunity to gain some advantage for its
members, regardless Of any other inter-
eStS.
Samuel Gumprrs and his associates
fought the pro-Grrmans and pacitists to
a staudStilI and succeeded in pCrsuadng
the delegates that they were American
citizens with duty to their country first,
and that thcr,. cuud be no worse form of
treason than deliberately setting out to
secure advantages for themselves at the
expense of the government by holding up
all war activities until their demands
were granted.
Mr Gompers then established his right
to he regarded as broad-rllndcd and
patriotic. with firm grasp on funda-
mental principles. And t must he said
to the everlasting credit Of the Fedora
ton of Labor that it has conducted itself
in the main during the intervening yeas
in a way to justify the confidence of al
fair-minded men in the integrity Of its
purposes and in the unfaltering lo-any
Of its mem bershp.
