"ageltatie Washington, Dec. 29th.—Secre tary' NegeT of the Department of Commerce and Labor, under whose supervision is the work of the Bu reau of the Census, at the conference of eastern state supervisors here, gave a vigorous talk on the subject of their duty, in which he emphasiz ed and added to what had been said by the Presideat to the Census field chiefs previously at the White Houst. The Secretary said: “I wanted a chance to meet you —not to speak to you, bat to shake hands and possibly exchauge a word here and there as occasion' might of fer. There is a futlu i' reason why it will be difficult for me to say any thing at this time. We hSvea rule that af^er the President has spoken his Secretaries have nothing to say. [Laughter.] I happened to be in the White House when you were there, and heard what the President said. To now repeat would not give emphasis; to add is barely par donable. “I am very glad that you did have an opportunity, however, to meet the President himself and to hear from him just what the attitude of the Exective on this matter of the taking of the census is; and 1. am glad that he had an opportunity to say to you how thoroughly he is in earnest about wbat he has heretofore said. ‘‘It is unnecessary for me to dwell upon the itnportance of a correct census. Of course we want to take a better census than has ever before been taken—and that is no dispara gement of the work of predecessors. We ought to ipmrove; for reasons which are selt-evident;: we ought to improve because the need for a correct and adequate census now is greater than it has ever been before. It i?. so on account of the growth of our owacountry, and because we are coming into relations with other countries, so that a correct report and a reli able statement, to be used not only at home b'lt for comprison with what other countries are doing, i the one essential foundation of all calculations. ‘‘Now, we have done, as we think what we can to accomplish that re sult. So far as we could, we have placed in charge here at the head men who are experienced, competent and enthusiastic. Of course, the office here might be perfect in its machinery and its administration, aud yet ttie entire work would be a failure unless you did what the President indicated this morning. After all, granting a false premise anything can be proved. No mat ter how fine the superstructure may be, if the foundation is not right the building is not worth anything. It is for you t:> furnish the foundation tor what is going to be done. You ire responsible to the Director, to ms, and to ihe President. That is ilie importance of your position. ‘‘Now, there is a lot of human tature in this thing, as was indicat ed to yon this morning. You will have to judge of a good jnany things, Hud you will have to show some discretion. And there is a lot ot human nature beyond you when it comes to the activities of the enumerators themselves. A man might, for illnstijation be a g(H)d man aud yotnot be a good enumera tor, because he might not have the contiden(!6 of the people with whom he has to deal. It is not always easy to get men of the right quali fications. It is easy enough to make examinations, but it must be left for you to decide, according to Such ex aminations as you make, aud accor ding to such judgement as you may be able to apply to the cases, who are the proper men to be recommen ded to the Director for the work which is to furnish the foundation of the census that is ultimately to be completed. “Now, I trust that you are show ing a lot of human nature in takiog these places. When people say that the Government should run on busi ness principles, I always reply: ‘Yes, so far as bookkeeping is con cerned, that is true; but so far as employment of human energy is concerned, it can not be true, be cause the Government does not pay enough to make it worth while for competent men to do what is expect ed.’ That is the truth of it. If we did not have enthusiasm and sentiment and love of country and desire to appear right among our fellow men, the Government would never succeed on business principles alone. It takes something more. It takes willingness for men to 8erve their country in the places to ^hich j they are called. Your places are important. I know we can not pay you, but I hope you may find your conipensation in somethitig better. When the census has been cf>mplet- isd and Director Durand has succeed ed in making it the best one thai has ever been taken, you may be glad to feel that your part in it was ivorth while.” Uley-Tickle.
