K.fPKullllliSlUI OF CENSUS
IS THE ORDER ISSUED DY PRESI-
DENT TAFT.
Any Person Engaged in the Work Who
Takes Any Part in Politics
Will Be Discharged.
Beverly, Mass.—III a letter ad-
dressed to Secretary Nagel of the
department of commerce and labor,
President Taft served notice that any
man engaged in the taking of the thir-
teenth census of the United States
who engages in politics In any way
will Immediately be dismissed from
tho service. Outside of casting their
votes the president believes that cen-
sus supervisors and enumerators
should keep clear of anything that sa-
vors of politics, national, state or lo-
cal.
The president orders that the secre-
tary of commerce and labor and the
director of the census embody in the
regulations governing the taking of
the census the rule so forcibly laid
down in his letter.
Mr. Taft says that in appointing
census supervisors it has been found
necessary io select men recommended
by senators and congressmen in their
districts. He says he realizes that
this method of selection might easily
be perverted to political purposes and
it is to lake the census out of pontics,
so far as the actual work Is con-
cerned, and be has explicitly ex-
pressed his desires as to the regula-
tions. .

Brussels.—The Chinese board of for-

date 1 August 11, in which the govern-

tion of the Antung-Mukdon railroad.
After tracing the history of this
question and pointing out that China
made many concessions to Japan, who
still tried to throw upon China's
shoulders the responsibility for the de-
lay in beginning the work, the note
declares Japan's interest in the line
to be entirely strategic and in no sense
economic.
"Japan has "ought unjustified ag-
gression" the note declares. "Already

she ha3 outlined on several occasions

is trying to secure little by little new
