Entered at the Covington postofice as Second-Claw Matter.
THE COME-BACK OF J Y..
There are two things that appeal strongly to the American: Courage
and the square deal. The man whom you know you can trust; the man
whos., promise you may depend upon; the man who has the courage to
fight his wattles unflinchingly to the end is well fortified in public esteem.
When J. Y. Sanders announced for the Senate, we endorsed him, ce
lieving h" would bring credit to Louisiana and believing he would be
able to accomplish as much for Louisiana as any man we could send to
Washington. We have watched his course since then, and our convi:
tions are even stronger than ever, on the eve of election, that we dil
not make a mistake.
Mr. Sanders' loyalty to our interests, while in Congress, the strength
and ability with which he fought for them, is the very best ,proof of what
may be expected of him in the Senate; and we believe a large majority
of the voters of St. Tammany parish will vote for him next Tuesday, and
that there is no reasonable doubt of his election.
THE CENSUS YFOR THE PAST TEN YEARS.
The public has been taught to believe that the figures given out by the
United States Government were about as correct as ,possible, but the howl
that has gone up in every direction against the census for 1920 is rather
discouraging. No section will cheerfully receive unsatisfactory informa
tion as to the increase of its population during the past ten years. It is
human to protest. But when the reasons for that ,protest are good and
sufficient, it creates a lack of consideration for all figures and becomes
a menace to a system that has awon world-wide confidence for its accuracy.
Of course, the war upset everything. Census enumerators were difficult
to get ant competent supervisors were scarce. The government, also,
in its efforts for economical management, failed to ,put paid advertise
ments in the country press, but depended upon free service in their ad
vertisement for enumerators. The country .press bore mgore than its
share of free advertising during the war. It got to a point where its
life was threatened. Paper rose to enormous prices, its postage was in
creased and all its operating expenses were increased. It could not af
ford to continue after the war the service it had given free during the
war, and which the government tried in every way to continue with un
warranted waste of paper in bushels of "released" matter of all descri;'
tions and requests of all kinds.
It is too late now to remedy matters, but the Covington census is a joke.
It is believed here that Covington has much nearer 4000 than 300.),
while the census given 2942. There are numerous persons who say they
were not visited, and a recount would no doubt bring more to ltgr t.
But leaving this aside there are many indications of growth much in
excess of the census returns.
In 1910 anybody could find an office to rent. To-day, notwithstand'n.
the new buildings that have gone up, you cannot rent an office, a store a.
residence. Automobiles throng the streets, there are more merchants
in business, there are hundreds of thousands more money in the ,ban, s
(there being $481,000 in 1910 arid $1,486,000 for year ending 1920.)
and the postoffice receipts have gone from $8154,85 to $15,178,24
in last year, and with still greater receipts coming for the year ,1920.
About $1500 may be deducted from the receipts with reference tj
their value as showing increased basiness because of the increasing c:
postage to 3 cents during part of the ten years.
While the census gives Slidell 16 above Covington, Covington has 53t
registered voters, which according to the census returns would make
about one voter in each family of live, and Slidell has 486 registered voters
which according to the census would make about one voter for every
family of six, and all this in two towns about thirty miles apart. Want
peculiar conditions would make such an alarming distinction. What
town has more girls than Covington? And we add with pride, what
town has more pretty girls than Covington? And they'll soon be voters.
Then the average of registered voters to the family will be increas3d,
because they say they will register. And by the way, we notice that
Clerk of Court Blossman has addressed his schedule of appointments for
registration to "The Ladies."
However, we congratulate Slldell on the good work of its census taker
and will take our medicine pleasantly. We do not believe that Slidell
has less, but that Covington has more. But oh! boy, what a difference
in 1930.
The difference in the third ward between 1910 and 1920 is due to the
fact tnat then Abita Springs was in the third ward. It is now in the
10th, With the old lines there would be an increase instead of a de
crease in the third ward.
