A COMMUNICATION
CONTINUED from 1st page)

friends will not be ashamed of you.
But I wish to say, that Charles J..
Peters is not as bad a man us you
have painted him in the affidavit
which you drew up for him.
l do not believe he was drinking
all of the time. When he was Of
ficiating at the Sacramento table
offering prayer over the body, and
blood of Christ. But you had him
swear he was.
You represent him while acting as
Superintendent Of the Sunday School
trying to exert an influence over
little children, and you have him
swear that all Of this time he was
buying all Of the liquor he wanted,
sinking. lower and lower all Of the
time.
This Ii the most monstrous doc
ument I ever saw, he is bad enough
but but there Is limit to even hu-
man dspravity.
You would lead him in to depths
that even be would not dream Of.
His weak character has allowed you
to use him a. . tool, to carry out
your selfish ends.
Now NJ Editors you talk about
Sacrificing honor and principlt,"
Do not sacrifice that which you do
not possess, II any citizen should
own n Newspaper should he be at
tached in such . vulgar and uncalled
way as you have done, disregardina
truth and even reasonable stories.
I believe that every owner and ed
tor Of a newspaper has to swear al
stated periods all who are interest
ed in a financial way in their paper,
do not think all Of them Willie,
II this attack Of yours were moi
so villinnous and criminal In its ma.
ture, I should not have replied and
so far as I nm concerned this mat.

cannot stoop to your level.

LARGE FORCE EMPLOYED.

With tho announcement today Of the
country's total population. the Bureau
of the Census. under Director Sam H..
Rogers, has accomplished only portion
If It's tremendous task which will con
tinue to occupy large force Of atatisticians
and clerks for the better part Of number
of years But tho primary object, for
which the fathers of the country provided
IN the constitution that u counting Of
the people should be made every ten years
has been achieved That object was To
obtain the total population IA order that
apport,onsnent of the members of the
House OF Representatives may be made
by Congress.
That apporfionmcnt. as soon as Dircc-
tor Rogers certifs~s 70 Congress the exact
number II people IN each State will be
taken UP by the House of Representatives,
NJ its coming ~~s-isn and during the rom
ing usar the body.wIl by law hx the nuIn-
Der of Gongressrncn from each state.
There has been discussion as tn whether
tho membership of the House Of Repre-
scntatives, now fixed at 435, should not
be reduced as that number Is considered
by some parliamentarians as too large
and unwirldy a body. People Of some
States are fearful that their representation
in the House might be cut down and OPP
pose any reduction.
In 1890 the number of Representatives
