IN a public statement in Kansas
lasa week Governor Cox declared that
he would have voted dry on pro-
hibition had he been acting under the
same circumstances as Senator Hard
ing. He had made the assertion that
in the Senate Senator Harding had
voted wet thirty-tUo times and dry but
twice. A man in the audience asked
him this question: "Under the same
circumstances, would you vote dry ?"
81 would" replied the Governor.
Subsequently Governor Cox stated
emphatically that he would oppose any
change in the Volstead act looking to
legalizing the sale of beer and wine.
ana that he pledged himself 10 the en-
forccment OF the existing prohibition
laws.

MOST folks will agree with Dr.
Howard A. Kelly that there is need OF
the reform in which ne has Just en-
barked-that OF trying 10 repress NOV
ing pictures Of a certain sort. DR..
Kelly believes that not only should all
pictures that suggest immortality or in
which profanity abounos be forbidden,
but that the foolish and senseless bust
ness Of throwing custard pies in the
faces OF the actors and deluging them
with dirty water or dumping them into
horse troughs, might also be cut out
without damage to any useful end.
There are so many sweet and lovely
thing, that can be portrayed IN the
movies that it is absolutely sinful to
cater to perverted tastes.

Br0ugh Fails to
 Revoke License
 Issued to Shaw

Little Rock, Jan. 1.-Governol Brough's effort to secure the re- vocation of Thomas H. Shaw's certificate of authority as mine in spector was blocked today when John Wilkinson, district president of the United Mine Workers, de- clared that the two miners repre- sentatives on the state board of mining examiners were disquali- fled. Wilkinson said that one has become an international organiz- CT for the miners union and the other has withdrawn from the union. Consequently the meeting of the board to have been held at Fort Smith today, which was to have heard charges against Shaw was not held.
 Shaw, who contends that he still is state mine inspector despite the governors attempt to remove him, today closed three more mines of the Central Coal and Coke com pany at Hartford, Ark When he was refused admittance to the mines, Shaw posted notices declar- ing the mines closed and the union miners refused to go to work. All seven Arkansas mines of the Gen. tral company now have been clos ed by Shaw.

President Signs the McNary Sugar
 Control Measure

Washington, Jan. 1.-President Wilson has signed the McNary bill continuing the United States sugar equalization board through 1920. It was announced today at the White House that his sigma. ture had been attached before midnight last night.
 Secretary Humility in making the announcement issued this statement:
 "The president has signed the sugar control bill. The bill con- fers discretion on the president in the matter of purchasing sugar from Cuba. It is doubtful wheth- CT it will be practicable or wise for the president to exercise the power conferred so far the pur. chase and distribution of sugar are concerned"

CENSUS TAKING
 BEGINS TODAY
 IN ALI. STATES
107 ,O00, ,OU0 10 Il2,00O. .OOO People in United States,
 is Estimate S22, 900, ,O00 WILL BE
 PAID FOR THE WORK Tabulatore, Fourteenth in History, to Include Data on C0untry'S Resources as We'll as
 People

Washington, Jan. An army of S5,000 enumeratorS will begin tomorrow morning the work of count ing the men, women and chil- dren of the United States and of collecting certain information about the resources of the coun- try.
 The taking of this census, the forteenth in the history of the na- tion, is expected to require only about two weeks, but figures show ing the total population probably will not be available until the end of April.
 Workers will sally forth with an especially prepared portfolio ano a commission signed by Sam l. Rogers, chief of the bureau. The count is expected to show popu- laticn of from 107,000,000 to 112,- 000,000, as compared with 93,- 000,000 in 1910. The estimated population on July 1, 1919, was l06,S71,2S4.
 Cards will be collected by 37z supervisors and forwarded tt headquarters here, where 4,00C clerks will be engaged in the tabu- laticn work. Totals for each of the items on the cards will be com. puted by specially designed ma. chimes. Officials expect to be able to make a preliminary esti mate of the population of the larger cities by the middle oi March, but returns for the country districts will not be completed un. itl later.
 The census includes the collec. tion of data on farms, forests and oil production. in addition to the enumeration of persons. The forteenth decennial census is the first to be taken during the winter months. While severe weather may be a handicap in some sec tions, the change was made in or der that the enumeration might be completed before the election pri- maries of the summer season. For the first time also, women have been employed as supervisors. Maximum pay allotted by law is four cents per person. with a high CT rate for farm hands.
 Congress appropriated $22,000,- 900 for the work.
 The first census, taken in 1790 during the administration of Ge- orge Washington. showed the population to be three million.

MAY 60 ON STRIKE
 HERE AT ONCE
S8 Per Day is Demanded; S7 Per Day Has Been
 Offered
Memhers of the Pine Bluff plum-

Members of the Pine Bluff plum bers union, No. 516, may be on strike today following the refusal of employing plumbers to accede to their requests for a daily wage of $S. They are now receiving $6 and their original demands were fol $9. These demands, put before the employers last week, were turned down and compromise offer of $7 per day was made. This the plumbers refused, but proposed g scale providing $S per day. This offer met with refusal on the part of the employers.
 One union man stated last night that the strike twas already on, , while employers said it probably will be averted at conferences to- day. There are less than 20 mem bers of the local.
 The president of the local union with the secretary, will today con- fer further with officials of shops employing union men, in an effort to reach an agreement. The sev- eral previous conferences between this committee and heads of union shops have been unavailing.
 Heads of plumbing and heating establishments maintain that there is no strike, and that a set clement will be reached, while one union plumber stated last night that "a strike is already on."

TON 0F NEWS PRINT
 PAPER HIGHER
No Reduction Felt Despite the Increase in
 Prices

Washington, Jan. 1.-Consump- ticn of news print paper in the United States during the last three months reached a record breaking point, along with prices, the fed eral trade commission reported in summary today. The average cost of news print at mills at the beginning of December was S3.9O a hundred, the commission re- ported, as against $3.75 a year ago. In 1916 the price was S1.8S the lowest in several years.
 High prices failed to cut down consumption, however, and the commission estimated that in 1919 IA per cent more news print was used than in 1918. During the fourth quarter of 1919, particular ly, news print consumption was running up, and the commission said that the increase then over a similar period in 1918 would be between 25 and % per cent.

SAYS RAILWAYS MUST EXTEND
 THREE BILLION
That Amount Needed for First-Class Service, FL
 liOtt Declares

St. Paul. Minn., Jan. 1.-Three billion dollars must be spent by the railroads of the United States within the next few years" to provide first class passenger and freight facilities, according to Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific railroad, who came from New York for con- ference with prominent railroad officials today,
 Difficult and serious as in the plight of the railroads and of the owners of $2O,000, ,000,O00 of rail road property, is not more ser ious than the condition facing the country" Mir. Elliott said today.
 Transportation facilities must be made available, not only for the present volume of business, but for the increase that pro- gressive nation like the United States needs each year.
 "Since the government took control only 100000 new freight cars have been bought, so that at the end of 1919, there probably are not more than 3.400,000 freight cars in the country-slightly more than in 1915. It is not too much to say that probably $3,- 000, ,000,000 should be spent for cars, engines and shop facilities by American railroads within the next few years, if the country's transportation needs are to be met"
 Mr. Elliott left for Chicago to- night. He did not make any an- nouncement regarding reports in railroad quarters here, that the leading roads of the country were planning to make broadened passenger services when private ownership is restored. There have been reports that to the Pacific Coast via various routes are to be shortened, and that trains de luxe and extra fare trains will be put in service.
