Briefly told, the history of census taking In the United States Is that twelve times we have made Inquiry Into our state a a nation, tt a total outlay of mora than $r.7,000.000. The thirteenth census will bring the total expenditure to upwards of $79,- 000.000. Starting out In 1790 with but four questions about a single subject of inquiry population tho work expanded In 100 years to such a remarkable extent that In 1S90 there were thirty-one separate sub jects of Inquiry, carrying 13.161 questions. The most remarkable expansion of the work of census taking took place at the tenth census in 180. At the preceding cen sus there had been but twelve subjects of Inquiry, embracing only 156 details or ques tions. In 1SS) the number of subjects of In quiry was Increased from twelve to twenty six, and the number of questions from 156 to 13,010. The lesson of the top-heaviness of the tenth and eleventh censuses did not fail to Impress Itself on congress, and that body limited the scope of th Investi gations of the twelfth census to four sub jectspopulation, agriculture, manufac tures, and vital statistics, leaving all other Inquiries to special Investigation. The thirteenth census will follow the lines of the twelfth in the limitation of the cope of Inquiry, except that vital statistics will be omitted and mines and quarries substituted. About half of the United States la now Included in what is known as "registration area," where births and deaths and the cause of death are regis tered by local authorities. The permanent census now prepares an annual report on mortality statistics, so that the occasion for vital statistics Inquiries by the thir teenth census has been removed. It Is Indeed a far cry from the seventeen marshals and 200 assistants, with their quill pens and saddlebags, who took and prepared the returns of tne first census In 1790, to the director and his force of "0,000 assistants, with their electrical tabulating machinery, who will take the forthcoming census of 1310. Likewise, it Is a long Jour ney from the $44,0tO that was kpent In tak ing the first census to the $14,000,000 that will be spent In the taking of the thir teenth. The first census was taken wholly as a mean of determining the number of peo ple In each state, so that representation In congress might be fixed according to the constitution. It was Intended also to determine the apportionment of direct taxes, the Imposition of which the con stitution makes dependent upon population. The act providing for the first census does not mention the fact that It was to be a census. It may be said that there is not the slightest evidence that the fathers of the nation ever thought It would amount to more than a counting of noses. The other matters of Inquiry have all come as Incidentals of the main constitutional Inquiry as to population a sort of by product of these ten-yoar counts of popu lation. The framer of the constitution put a wise check upon the early census authori ties. They understood full well that there would be a constant tendency to exaggerate population, by every state. In the hope of Increasing Its representation In congress. To overcome this was one of the purposes of making the direct taxes distributable In the same way as representation In con gress. The state which was tempted to exaggerate Its population in order to get Increased representation In congress would find Itself In danger of having a larger direct tax than was its share. By playing the desire for a smaller showing of popu lation against the desire for the higher showing, they were able to secure a true report. In late censuses the direct tax provision has lost Its terrors, but such a careful watch Is kept upon the work of the enumerators that although there are many Interests which would exaggerate population, the chances for doing so are growing fewer with each recurring de cennial. ' There was disappointment over the show ing of the first census. Many thought It made the population too small, on the ground that it has supposed to be for purpose of taxation. Thomas Jefferson unhesitatingly expressed his belief that It was erroneous, and as secretary of state notified the representatives of th United Slates abroad that the returns were far short of the truth, and he was careful to supply many ommlssions in red ink. Subsequent events indicate that the first census was, as a matter of fact, a very accurate one, and that the trouble was In the previously made over-estimate of colonial population. The second census differed from the first in that it had an official head th secre tary of state. When the legislation author izing the census was pending, congreas was memorialized to extend Its inquiries to many subjects, but the petitions were burled in a senate pigeon hole. The third cei. bus was the first to Include any sort of inquiry outside of population data. As an afterthought $2,000 was appropriated for collecting the names of the manufac turers of the United States. Population Commons Heads for Capital City Street Car Strike Having Been Beaten Here, He Will Consider Situa tion in Lincoln. Ben Commons, who came to Omaha as the leader of the striking street car men, will leave within the next three days for Lincoln, where th union street car men are making demands on the company. Tl e Lincoln situation la said to be somewha uncertain. Mr. Commons declines to dls cuss the probability of a strike there. After a sojourn In Lincoln Mr. Commons will return to Omaha and will remain here until a date about three weeks hence, when he will depart for his home In New Or leans. The affairs of the Omaha union will be left in the hands of a committee. It is admitted by the leaders of the re cent strike that the men would all go back If they could get even the terms against which they struck. Nothing better than th "extra list" Is now open.

Th fourth census mad a number of inquires beyond those preceding, among them be- lng questions showing the number of un- naturalised foreigners, and th number of persons engaged In agriculture, commerce and manufactures. Later a special act caused some Investigations to be made with reference to manufactures. The fifth census returned largely to In quires limited to population, and a pro- vision was made for a revision of all the previous census reports. This report was hastily and heedlessly made, and General Walker, who had charge of the ninth and tenth censuses, says It was filled with errors to such an extent as to b valueless. He observed that "many pages of the republication would, by merely not ing the necessary corrections, be almost as much disfigured as the wrst proof of statistical matter ever seen In a printing house." The next decennial census, taken In 1S40, Is regarded as a lamentable failure. So glaring were Its errors that the American Statistical association memorialized con gress, declaring that such documents ought not to be sanctioned by congress, and that If the statistics could not be corrected they ought to be disowned. The Inaccuracy of the 1S40 census Is attributed to the vast expansion of the census Inquiries without adequate machinery to support the work. It was really the first census at which the modern scope of Inquiry was adopted. From It dates the larger meaning of cen sus taking, and Its failure Is attributed more to defective machinery than to Its plan and purpose. The law providing for the tnktng of the seventh census, passed In the early part of 10 served for the taking of three decen nial censuses. The seventh census wit nesses the first centralization of the census taking business under one office In Wash ington and the conditions under wl.lch It was taken makes It the first comparable with the present methols. The alghth census In I860 was taken under the same law. In 1S70 is was argued that the law of 1S60 has outlived its usefulness and that the census of that year ought to be taken un der entirely changed conditions. A stren uous effort was made to secure a new census law. A bill enbodylng the Idea of the advanced statisticians was passed by the house, but was defeated In the senate. The result was that the census had to be taken under a wholly Inadequate law, one that had been completely outgrown. Yet by reason of tho excellent work of those In charge of the undertaking the results were such as to compare favorably with anything that had gone before. It was at this census that the first attempt at me chanical tabulation was made. It was In the shape of a talking machine, which was used "with good results. A strong effort to obtain a quinquen nial census was made In 1876. General Grant lent the prestige of the presiden tial office to the movement by recom mending it in two annual messages. It was contended that such a census would be especially fitting s showing the prog ress of the nation in the first hundred years of Independence. But the proposition fell through and the Inquiry was delayed until the regular ten-year period. James A. Garfield introduced a bill providing for the taking of the tenth census, but It was not able to run the gamut or me committees of the senate and house. The history of the succeeding censuses and of the creation of the permanent cen sus bureau is fresh In the public mind. One of the Interesting pieces of work per formed at the eleventh census was the enumeration of the names and service of the survivors of the civil war. No provi sion was made for the publication of this data, which would have filled eight large quarto volumes of 1.000 pages each. The returns were deposited In the pension bu reau and never have been printed. Ths publication of the last volume of the elev enth census did not take place until 1837. seven years after the gathering of the data. However, bulletins were extensively used and the essential results were all given to the public by 1805. A famous' French statistician, Moreau do Jonnes, declared during his life that the United States presents a phenomenon without a parallel , In history "that of a people who Instituted the statistics of their country on the very day they founded their government, and who regu lated by the same instrument th census of their Inhabitants, their civil and po litical rights and the destinies of th na tion." From the time that the great king of Israel offended his God by taking a count of his people down to the present day there have been thousands of reck onings of population, but nowhere else In the world has th art of census taking reached the high state of perfection exist ing today In the United States.

BUSINESS MAN TEACHES HIS EMPLOYES HOW TO WRITE George II. lee Organises Classes to Do What School Failed to Accomplish. George II. Lee of Omaha is one business man who believes in working up raw ma terial to lta highest capacity. Finding that he ha'd In his employ a good many young men and women who could not write a plain, legible business hand, he has organ ised two writing classes. One class is made up of young women, about fifteen of them, who study writing lessens, practicing from examples set by Mr. Lee, during the noon hour two days a week. The other class Is made up of about twenty young men, who study an hour two evenings a week. "It 1 surprising," said Mr. I.ee, "that girls and boys who have been through the public schools, some of them through the high school, cannot write a presentable business hand. One girl In particular in my office, who is a graduate of the Omaha High school, wrete a rough sort of vertical hand when she came here. Now look at this," and Mr. Lee showed a bunch if lesson sheets. They were a complete his tory of the young woman's progress, and the last sheet Indicated that stM had got ten entirely away from the uncertain, characterless style she brought with her from school. "This Is but a sample of what all of my students are doing," the Incubator man continued, "and I find that there Is a spirit of emulation established which helps even the most backward among the em ployes.

THE OVERCOATS are seen in both three-quarter and full length styles and are really notable for their splendid quality They are shown in black, green, gray, and other correct fall shades; and patterns of unusual distinctiveness. They are handsomer, better fitting and more service able garments than were ever displayed at this pric any where.
