even though the same persons were given the
care of the offices connected herewith they found
themselves at sea within few days. Now, how
ever. the permanent census bureau makes the
counting of the population business for all time
with Uncle Sam and this gigantic job will be
given the attention Of his weather eye from day
to day, though the fruits of the work will be
thrust into the public gaze only once in ten years
Men who experts on taking the census of
countries declare that the system by which the
government will take the count in 1910 is admit
tedly model which the whole world should fol-
low, if it would be up-to-date this corner.
Another project is foot to-day which will great
ly facilitate this census program. That is the
erection of permanent home for the population
counters. If congress allows Director North to
such edfce, it will be specially con-
structed statistics manufacturing plant. In
communication to congress Director North sets
forth his plans. He plans to expend the sum of
$675,000 for the purchase of site and for the six
story freproof building upon which he is laying
his program. This he says will provide ample
accommodations for the 5000 persons who
engaged in this work from year to year.

She Was a Real Orator.

Senator Beveridge during a recent
visit to Portland talked about oratory.
The campaign he said, has given
US oratory more remarkable for guam
tity than quality. True oratory is that
which brings results, is that which
converts an audience OF supporters.
Such oratory is rare.

speeches from the platform are won

Cultivate the Open Mind.

President Eliot says the open mind is fruit OF
culture. And it is likewise, Christian virtue. The
man with open mind is agreeable person. He
is just and kindly. One can talk with him with
pleasure. for can be quite sure, if the mind is
open there is no prejudice, envy iIl-wil there.
The open mind is where the truth is welcomed. and
where it is not tainted with meanness of any kind.
AS general thing, the more ignorant person
is the Tighter is his mind closed. He thus becomes
exceedingly absurd. aad consequently pitiful. He
loses influence and in time, respect He likes to say
his mind is made up, which means that the doors
and windows OF his soul are shut and more light
will be let in.
That is bad situation for person to get in

the old style counting devices in use when the
Job started nine years ago.
There are two styles of machines-one is the

chimes essential and each is dependent upon
the other for success.
The new card punching machine, which is a
great improvement upon the old system, is an
electrical contrivance. Hitherto the operator was
compelled to play upon it like typist, but to-day
all that is necessary is TO touch the key desired
press lever and the machine keeps on punching
cards as long the power is kept on. The OLD
hand puncher was capable of sending out Soo
cards each day while the new automaton attalns
a speed of $500 and saves the operators nerves
Another feature of these new machines is that

have been turned in by the great army of statis'
