Washington, Sept. 24. — Appoint­
ment C l«rk Pindell, o f the U. S. Cen­
sus bureau, states on tbs subject o f
the census examination, October 28d,
that the distinction between to# perm­
anent census fores and the additional
temporary employes provided by the
Thirteenth Centos act is quits import*
ant and should be remembered.
As
vacancies occur on the permanent cqw-
sus they w ill be filled, ns heretofore,
hy transfers from elsewhere In the
service, or by selections from tbs ex­
isting registers o f the civil service
commission.
Parsons now on tbs registers o f tbs
commission are, therefore, eligib le for
appointment to vacancies on too perm­
anent census roll, bat there is no great*
er opportunity during the decennial pe­
riod for such appointments than there
has been heretofore.
The additional
temporary positions, authorised by the
Thirteenth Census set, except those
above $ 1 . 2 <ft) per annum which w ill ba
filled largely by transfer* from tha
permanent census roll, w ill be given to
those persons who paw tha test • x un­
ination on October 28rd. Those now
on the registers o f the civil servios
commission, who desire appointment to
teas additional census places, should
taka the test examination aa their pres­
ent elig ib ility avails them nothing in
respect to appointments to these posi­
tions. The fact that a person is on
the civil service register doss not pre­
vent him from taking this test exam­
ination.
Blank application forms sod too cir­
cular o f instructions wara ready far

soon ss the applicant completes his ap­
plication in every respect, it should be

IS GOVERNMENT NECESSARY TO RANT
B y Count Luo Tototol.
— 1 _
The governmental order o f 'things is a torn-
K j porary and certainly not a perpetual form
FI
of life. And just ss the life of an Individual
Is not stationary but continually changes,
moves on and perfects Itrelf, so the life of
all mankind is unceasingly changing, mov-
JL
Ing on and perfecting itself. As each lndl-
vldual once played with toys, learned the
lessons, worked, got married, brought up
children, gained wisdom with age, so the life of na­
tions also changes and perfects Itself, only not like an
individual, in a few years, but in the course of cen­
turies and ages. And as for man the chief changes oc­
cur in the invisible, spiritual sphere of his religions
consciousness.
People who, owing to the existence o f government
organizations, have advantageous positions, picture to
themselves the Ufa o f people deprived of governmental
authority as a wild disorder, a struggle of all against
ail. Just as If we were speaking, not of the life of ani­
mals, for animals live peacefully, without governmental
violence, but of some terrible creatures prompted In
their activity solely by hatred and madness. But they
imagine men to be such merely because they attribute
to them qualities contrary to human nature, but which
have been perverted by that same government organisa­
tion under which they themselves have grown np, and
which in spits o f the tact that It is evidently unneces­
sary and merely harmful they oontlnue to uphold.
And. therefore, to the question, What would life be
without government? there would be but One answer—
namely: that there would certainly not be all the evil
which Is created by government. There wonld not be
property in land, there would be no taxes spent on
things unnecessary for the people; there wonld not be
the Mpsrat|on of tha nation#, the enslavement of some
by others; there wonld not be the waste of the people’s
best powers in preparations for wars; there wonld not
be the fear o f bomb* on the one side and of gallows on
the other; there would not be the insane luxury of
some and the still more Insane destitution of others

W H AT IS THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS T
By Sidney Dark.
The wise man discovers exactly what he
needs to be happy and endeavors persistently
to acquire the essentials.
The unhappy man Is s dull man, and ths
dull man Is the man without a soul. That
Is the truth, and the whole truth. The dull
man eata and drlnka and- works and sleeps
and grumbles and sniggers snd is just a rate­
payer. Most of na have to do all these things.
W# have to be ratepayers. Tbe horror comes when we
are jnst ratepayers— and nothing more.
The dull man never laughs at himself, never plsys
the fool, never loses his head— never dreams A street
Is s street to him, not the scene of daily and Innumer­
able dramas. A child la a child, not a bewildering
conundrum. He believes the evidence of his eyes (h#
actually boasts of it ), snd fhnetes that things really
are as he sees them. There is no conceivable error so
utterly false, no heresy so mischievous
Dullness means a lack of imagination, and without
imagination life and happiness are both lmposslbls
Religion and art, from one point of view, share ths
same mission. They bring to men the sense of amaze­
ment. They teach us that ths world is s wonderful

discover that we ourselves are most amazing creatures
The dull man la not Interested la himself, has no self-
love. I am certain that no man can love his neighbor
unless he has learned to love himself. From ourselves
we discover humanity.
I know a nun who la happy dreaming of the glorias
of a wonderful gray wonder-world. I know a Salva­
tionist who Is happy because he Is a son o f God. I
know a cheeerful. roystoring, often penniless writer
who Is happy because to him all men are good fellows
and all women adorable. The happy Socialist dreams
of the brotherhood of men; tbe cantankerous Social lit
yearns to interfere with his fellows
It often happens that the men who stimulate imag­
ination and encourage our dreams themselves tall to
attain happiness. They stand oa tha mountain sad

the land o f delight They are. however, the great men,
and yon and I are the common wayfarers Their way la
not our way. and it may be that their sorrow is mors
precious than our joy.
ENGLAND DESTINED TO L0B8 OF INDIA.
B y Salat N M U Singh.

It is net hard to understand the reason
Why the Britisher is destined to lose India.
P j no matter what cones—Ions he may make ts
g j
th« Indian. The minute the Englishman fan­
cy
trod need the Indian to the literature of tbe
¥
Occident a grave began to be automatically
JL
dug for him. This grave digging has been go-
Ing on fob at least fifty years Each suc-
I S L l seeding year has given a new impetus to the
educated Indiana, accelerating the process
The day has arrived In the history o f Hladoostaa
when the aspirations of ths most intelligent of its na-
tlves have reached a point where they are utterly intol­
erant of foreign dependence and guidance. To a— a
phrase o f tbe times, th* Indian wants to be "the whole
show.” This attitude Is fast becoming volcanic in tend­
ency, and this bod— no good to the Englishman in
India.
Tbe example and th* Inspiration of America baa been
of the greatest help to tha Hindoo. On account of Its
old-time isolation India, notwithstanding Its al— and
undoubted strength, waa practically helpless But to
tha klowledg# of Occidents! literature has been added
the knowledge of Occidental literature baa been added
the Occident There are many Hindoos In the United
States at present and they have learned something of
W —tern resourcefulness not only in education but ia
polities They have taken or sent some of this knowl­
edge horns When ths awakening is complete England’s
grasp w ill be loosened.
Two hundred thousand Englishmen domineer over
321,000.000 natives, and the day will not dawn to-mor­
row when England lets the Indiana have complete
charge of their foreign and military affairs Recently
Lord Rtpon, a former Viceroy of India, —Id: “ It la
impossible to place the military affairs of India under
the control of the people of India. We, and we alone,
must decide how many troops It ia necessary to main­
tain there and what money ia needed to k—p that force
in efficiency.”
\
England’s Interests In India clash with tbo— of the
natives of ths land. When the teeming millions o f
India awaks to realise what is best for them the Eng­
lishman w ill become abeolntely incapable of holding
India.

Constantly dealing with th* public, a

day an Individual dashed into a bank
and laid hands (o r rather a stick) on

and disappeared into the tog. Hla raid
