The I4th decennial census was taken
on the regular periodic occasion set
aside since 1890 for taking the national
census Tia 1920 that proved for the first
time TO be an unfortunate and not pro-
pitious occasion. OF course it was the
war that was 10 blame. For the six
years previous TO 1920 immigration had
not only been restricted because of the
war i'm Europe, but an unusual number
Of our recent immigrants returned to
their native homes and armies to take
part in the war.
Added to this. indue'-'o1 conditions
early became upset in this country. Our
munitions and Industrial plants took on
gigantic and actually grotesque capaei-
ties and thev We're flooded abnormallv
with labor. Even the per capita wealth
of the country swung well over toward
the golden era during this period.

Politics vs.. Ability.

The national capital is expecting an ap-
nOintment of a commissioner of internal
revenue in a few days. If Secretary of the
Treasury has his way, the country will
get an able administrator. If the politi-
clans are supreme. the job will become
part of the spoilS of the campaign and the
personnel of the internal revenue officers
throughout the nation will be political.
Just as was very largely the case under
the Democratic administration.

TO TAKE UP OFFER
special ossl. to tn. w.shinstou Hsr.ld.)

Especial Gable to The washington Hsr.ld.)
TOKYO, Oct. 17.-Japan's reply to
China's note regarding Shantung
urges the Chinese to reconsider
their refusal to negotiate III view OF
the urgency of the matter and the
necessity for not permitting the
question to drag indefinitely. The
Japanese note was sent to Pekin
last Saturday. The Chinese are
asked to forget the recent wrangles
and to consider the question In the
light Of Japan's desire to renew the
old Friendships
Few persons here believe that
ChinaIs willing to accept any offer
involving the" recognition OF the
Versailles award OF the former
rights, to Japan.
China has two objections to en-
tering negotiations. The first Is
the governments necessity to save
its face before the people in Wow
OF its tottering condition. and the
second is. due to the belief enter
tanned that America eventually will
intervene for China's benefit.
