The "occupation" question in the United States Motoi population schedule to be carried by tbe enumerators during the Thirteenth Decennial Census, be ginning April IB next, applies to ev erybody 11 ring In tbe United States "Census Day." and gll tbe population schedule questions relate to it only. in Ha printed instructions to enumerators the Census Bureau holds that the occupation followed by a child or a woman fa Just as lmpors tanU^or census purposes, as tbe oc cupation^ a man. Therefore the enumerators are told never to take It granted without Inquiry that a wom an or child old enough to work has no gainful oecupatlon. It la pointed out. however, that only gainful occupations are to be Re ported. By this Is meant any <?? ployment, vyork. profession, or voca tion by which the person working regularly earns money or Its equival ent. The fact that a person has no gainful occupation (a to be noted on the schedule. If a person Is only housework In her own'lfcfcne, without employment, the entry Is to be that she has no occupation. But a wom an working ftta housework for wages should be returned as "housekeep er," "servant." "cook." or "chamber maid." as tbe case may be, and the entry should state the place where she works, as "private family," "ho tel," or "boarding house." Or 1{ a woman. In addition to doing house work in her own 'home, regularly earns money by some other occupa tion, whether pursued in her own home or outside, that occupation should be returned. For Instance, a woman who regularly takes in wash ing should be reported as "laun dress" or "washerwoman." Women Doing Farm Work. A woman working regularly Lnd outdoor farm work, even though she works on the home farm for her hus band, son, or other relative and does not receive money wages, should be returned as a "farm laborer." The enumerators are to distinguish, how ever,, the women who work on the home farm from those who work away from home by writing either ""^home farm" or "working out," as the case may require. A woman who, herself, operates or runs a farm should be reported as a "farmer," and not as a/'farm laborer." If any child, of whatever age, is regularly earning, money, the em ployment .which he*;or she follows should be returned as an occupation. This applies also to a child, working for his board away from home. Children, or even adhlts, attending schooi or college or any educational Institution, and following no other employment, should be returned as having no occupation. But If any person Is attending school or college and at the same time Is regularly earning money at some gainful occu pation, the enumerators are to return that occupation. In either case they must indicate the fact of school or eoUege attendance Children who work for their par ents at home merely on general household work or at odd "times on other work are to be reported as hav ing no occupation. Bnt children who materially assist their parents In the performance of work other than household work should be reported as having the occupation In which Ihey are no employed, even though they receive no wages. In the caM of children who work for their own parents on a farpi, that fact la to b? entered as *'bome farm.*' But foi The school niter will 1m Mr Steph en C. BrifUr, tbe two leaders "Hr. A. M.

Our sermons, speeches gnd lectures Jiave touched on the subjects of law enforcement, the need of national legislation to stop the Jug trade from other States, the evil of tbp. near-beer saloon and total ab '..^>e* that the Antl-8aloon forces are making good progress over the entire State. Our people today appreciate more fully than 1 2 months ago the fact that this law must be executed, aad are not expecting It to 'enforce Itself. The old complaint that "prohibition la a farce because It Is not enforced" has now changed, and the complaint is "the officer is a farce because he does not enforce the prohibition law." The people hare learned to lay the blame where the responsibility vests, snd all appre ciate ^the fact t?jit the work olftthe executive branch of government, from the Governor of our State down, is to execute all laws with Impartial ity and without favor to any violator. Moreover, we And that moral support is being given the officer, who dis charges his duty, and many words of praise and commendation reach our ??ra and our office regarding these officers, who are true to their Official trust. There are still, however, some communities where officers and cltl tens alike are negligent and conse quently the vlolstors are plv ng their trade. I believe that the prohibition law*U p?orc and more growing lo fa Vor5"> * ? ^ -m-v w The only complaints that we hear now regfrdlng prohibition Is that the Jug trade Is flooding our State with liquor, thus making Virginia rich, while North Carolina is not re ceiving sny revenue, but these objec tions have been and are being so thoroughly answered by the condi tion of prosperity prevailing over our State, the unprecedented increase in j the bank deposits this year over last ! and the universal Judgment of depot I agent, that the Jug trade is smaller , by far than the barrel trade, that the i objectors have almost hushed their' mouths. Passing up and down the State, with an eye and ear always open to learn any truth touching our cause, we are persuaded that in some locali ties at least, the liquor forces are even now at work to secure, through the primaries and conventions, men to represent them in the legislature, who' will do their bidding. are not afraid thatjthelr efforts will avail anything. If the forces of temperance and righteousness are truly vigilant, but I desire to sound a word of warn ing. and (o urge our men, who love their State and humanity, to give somo time and attention to this sub ject and see to it that those men are nominated, who will protect the pres ent prohibition law. if we. sit idly by and allow the no-license force* of the State to name the members of legislature agji, tllnt these members go to Raleigh and In any sense amend or tamper with the State pro hibition law, we can blame nobody bot ourselves. Therefore, cltlsens of North Carolina, I desire to put you tfn your guard. If I were asked to state the. great est need of prohibition in North Car olina, i should answer In a sentence, j Executive officers of nerve and char acter, who know the responsibility of official trust and appreciate the solemnity of an official oath." I am glad to say that In some parts of the 8tate, we find these, but that fn oth ers, they are conspicuous by their absence^-s^fherever we do not And, auch offers, the blame rests more with the cltlsens than with the offi cers. for the reaaon that the cltlsens have the power to dlaplace one officer mnd to elect another, aad if any one lis official trust, it ?m. oommon sense BvtlMR^s la the part of wladoi and religious duty to elect |*t the next election, who will ' respect for bis official oath and man hood to do his d?ty.

SB Yor gambling. This deplorable Inf. dent suggests a few reflections on card playing and 'its tendencies. Where did these young fellows learn to play? We wonder If their sisters, wives, or mothers play bridge at home? When the women meet from house to house and spend hours at bridge, or euchre. Is It strange that th6 men should meet down town and have a little game of their own? Besides, what is the essential differ ence between playing for a few dimes (or dollars) and for a prize that costs money? Money is only a com modity. and to play for anything of value Is gambling. It la to be hoped this recent raid will serve as at^ eye opener to our society women, and show them whither their example leads. We do beseech our women in the name of God. conscience and coun try, and for the sake of our boys, to abstain from cards, because card playlag by wivea and mothers will naturally lead to gambling among the men.

Jr.. bagged three large wild turkeys this morning. They created no little ex citement when exhibited by the huntsmen. ever evidence can be secured. I might add further that I mean by a| true officer, one who will Hean-h for evidence that will copvlct any vlo-l lator. After having had much ex perience In the last twelve monthsi with the work of detectives to secure evidence to enforce the prohibition law. l have concluded that this Is not the ideal way to enforce law. There may be conditions and circumstances which necessitate the use of a secret service man. but generally speaking. I feel that we must throw the entire responsibility on our executive offi cers and give them full, moral sup port. and all other possible aid to assist them in doing the things that I hey are elected and paid to do, namely, "to catch up with these vio lators." *f I have learne'd as regards the work of detpctlves, that jurors are averse to accepting their testimony, that even the courts do not Invite It, and that wherever used, the regular of ?flcers are too'anxious to shift, the re sponsibility thai the law places on them on the detective. I*have learn ed further that the occasional use of the detective causes the violator to be shy of the stranger, but In" no way retards them from selling to his reg ular customer. Again. tHey know that a detective Is on the field possi bly one week In the year, whereap the vigilant officer is there flfty-two weeks, and under these circumstan ces. are much more afraJd of arrest and punishment. If city and'eounty authorities will appropriate money from their treasuries to pay for secret service work, then the detec tive becomes a representative^ the government add his evidence means much mor? to courts and Jurors. I believe that detectives employed lr> this way will accomplish good. I desire to report regarding the American- Issue, a sixteen page monthly paper, which we are editing, that Jt Is being well received by the friends of temperance and- prohibi tion over tfae State, and our subscrip tion list shows substantial snd satis factory growth.

The an nouncement ^rom the White House that President Taft had by hi* own motion cut down to ?eur the number of administration measures he would demand at the present session of Congress 1b received by Republican leaders with unmixed feeling of re lief.

Including only the bills . to amend the interstate commerce 'laws, provide for the regulation of | the Issuance of injunctions, start Arizona and New Mexico on the road | to 8tatehood, and to validate th^ 'withdrawals of public lands for con servation purposes, is regarded as quite possible of attainment. Most of these measures, it is -believed, car; be put through the Senate while the House Is still wrestling with appro priation bills. The Faithful Get Busy. When It was reported at the capi tal yesterday that the President would be satisfied with the enact ment of the four measures named, steps were taken to bring all these matters out of committees at the ear liest possible dste. The postal sav ings bank bill already Is before the Senate and an agreement between the supporters of conflicting amend ments Is assured. It Is regarded an practically certain that the bill can be passed during the coming week. The one conservation bill that President Taft 1b determined shall be passed Is that which gives to the President the unrestricted power to withdraw public lands from settle ment and place them In reserves that will continue In force until restored by him or by Congress to the portion of the public domain that shall be open to settlement. In the mean time an effort will be made by a.spe clal committee of Western Senators to perfect other conservation meas ures so that they will be ready for consideration at the next session. Hearings are now in progress on the Statehood bill, not it Is unlikely that the measure will be brought out of the Senate committee on Terri tories until the postal savings bank an.-l railroad bills are out of the way.
