ι ΤΗ Κ ΝΚΧΤ CENHV8.
I
In view of the approaching decen
; niai year, the house committee on
' the census Is one of the most impor
I tant Of those made up by the speak
I er. TJie present, congress will make
I provision for the census of 1910,
; upon .which will be based a new ap
| portionment among the states of rep
presentation In congress and of votes
in the election of president and vice
president of the United States.
Jt was no mean ambition, there
fore. which prompted Mr. Booher, of
the fourth Missouri district, to seek
a place on the census committee. It
is a position In which an earnest and
competent Mlesourlan will have' op
portunity to serve his state and his
section well. Mr. Hamlin, of the sev
enth district, the Missourlan appoin
ted to the committee, has an import
ant trust to execute.
The persistent complaints that
democratic states were cheated out
of representatives in congress and
electoral votes by the census of 1900
should not be repeated after the
enumeration of 1910. Every demo
cratic member of the committee
should be vigilant and Insistent that
the act providing for the census be
so framed that there shall be no
ground lor complaint, says the St.
Louis Republic.
It should be made mandatory that
sufficient numbers of enumerators
be employed in every state to find
and count all the people In it. It is
charged in Texas that this was not
done in this state in 1900, or at
east that very many more enumera
tors were sent Into republican states
known to have a much smaller pop
ulation. This should not be permis
sible in the coming census.
Insufficient numbers of enumera
tors being I rcrly responsible for an
•naccurate count, there should be
some certain rule for their appoint
i.ient in the several Siate». Tn Mis
souri and til ? southwest the growth
of population has been so great since
1900 that th? tf.sk of counting the
! population will îequire a larger force

I The south find the southwest
I should in the next census make the
I most magnificent showing of growth
j in population and industry they have
! ever liade. They will certainly do
ι so if the census is fairly made. Ev
ery mfemher of congress from these
Uii^i+WtJs should constitute himself a
committee of one to see that there
! are no errors of omission in his dis
! trict in the next count of heads.
The total annual production of pe
troleum In the United States runs
from three billion to five and three
quarters billion gallons for the years
last reported by the department of
commerce and labor. An increase of
a cent a gallon on a billion gallons
of refined petroleum would mean
1,000,000.000 cents, which are re-!
ducible by short division to $10,000,
000. A report just issued by the de
partment of commerce and labor
shows that the price of refined pe
troleum in barrels was 7.60 cents a
gallon on August 17. 1906. and 8.75
cents a gallon on October 26, 1907
So the infant class in arithmetic is
now prepared to stand up and tell
the country at large just how much
real suffering there is behind the
scenes when the big stick is swing
ing and the brass band playing be
fore the footlights, says the St. Louis
Republic.
Snap Shots in the Dallas News is
responsible for this bit of truth: "As
soon as a couple marry these days
Satan begins to whisper "Snared!"
"Caught!" or something like that in
their ears." And Satan has plenty of
long-tongued agents who are always
ready and anxious to aid in the de
struction of a peaceful, happy home
that might be. Nothing better is to
be expected of Satan but this "man's
inhumanity to man" is enough to
make the angels weep.

CATARRH YIKLOS.
To Healing Air of Hyomei. Sold Un
der Guarantee by Hood & Cnrlln
Catarrh is the most prevalent dis
ease known to humanity. Probably
ninety per cent of the people in this
country suffer at one time or anoth
er with this common disease.
It is a germ disease and hence can
be cured only by some method that
will reach and destroy the germs.
This in best found in Hyomei,
which may be called the direct meth
od of treating catarrh, as its medica
tion, taken in with the air you
breathe, goes directly to every air
cell in the nose, throat and lungs;
kills all catarrhal germs; heals the
irritated mucous membrane and vi
talizes the tissues so as to render ca
tarrh no longer possible.
Hood & Curlln give their absolute
guarantee to refund the price to any
catarrh sufferer that Hyomei fails
to benefit. 233
