LET Us HAVE AN ACCURATE
CENSUS.

There has never been any concerted
effort On the part Of the citizenship Of
Wheeling to make certain that the
National census was taken accurately.
In 1910. the census takers could only
lind. or at least only reported. ASA
persons in Wheeling. and yet at tho
Same time, or soon thereafter. We had
le,s9s4 registered voters in the city
limits. II il not at all probable that
Wheeling is more prolific Of voters than
the average community. and the rule OF
i've persons for every one voter is the
average over the United States. II
that rule is accurate. or even approx
mately accurate. the population Of
Wheeling in 1910 vas a good deal more
than ASA.
As far back ss 1906. in a city election
in this city. 10000 votes were cast. and
the statement. therefore. OF 1894 regis
tered voters in 1912 is not excessive.
Greater Wheeling will DC fact next
year and our citizenship should see to
1t that the census does justice TO Wheel
ing. 1t might be we'll for the Chamber
Of Commerce. the Rotary club. the
kiwanis club and other public spirited
organizations 10 give some attention to
the census. Wheeling has = population
very much greater than We have here
toforc been credited with. and if all the
people in Greater Wheeling and in the
city proper are counted. it wilt be found
that we are close to the $1,000 mark, il
not more.
Let US sec That wheeling gets credit
for what it is. or at lcas', fair par;
OF what it Is.

THE WAR WASTE.

Tho House Of Representatives is be-
ginning to take up the report Of the
special committee estisatins cxpen-
Gitures Of the War Department. This
report has been under dcsultory dis
cussion and the debate reveals some
very interesting facts. Congressman
Campbell quoted from the report charg-
ing R H. Long. Democratic candidate
for governor in Massachusetts had re.
ceived millions OF dollars in contracts
simply because he was a Democratic
politician favorable to the War Depart
ment.
Congressman JefIries Of Nebraska de-
clared the War Department bought 54a.-
900 saddles and 10000 sets Of harness
for an army which had only $4,000
horses and mules.
These are choice bits Of information
parallelins in character the notorious
facts concerning tthe building o. Nitro.
Camp Sherman and various other war
camps. The probabilities are that the
full history Of the graft. waste and ex-
travasanee Of the War Department new
er can. and never will be written. Hun
drsds Of millions Of dollars were stolen
snd wasted. Most of this money will
neyer BE- traced. and little, if any Of il.

THE PAYROLL ARMY.

In the good old days before the war.
there were about 5000 government
clerks employed at Washington. \ few
months ago. there were 1900 employees
in the bureau on war risk insurance
alone. which bureau was created about
six months after the war started TO
take care Of the problems Of war. This
is only sample of the methods prac-
ticed by the war administration. A
year after the war ended. Washington
is still crowded to overlooking with
