From cow puncher in southwestern
Kansas to the position of secretary of
the interior is far cry. but that is the
F.; range of the career Of Richard A. Bal
linger Of the state of Washington, for
mer commissioner of the general land
Office, ex-mayOr Of Seattle and unt})
recently vice president of the Alaska
Yukon Pacific exposition. A remarka-
BILE coincidence is that he succeeds
James r. Garfield, his classmate in
Williams college, who afterward made
him general land commissioner.
The interesting phases of Mr.. Balm
gers frontier career are being told IN
his own words. He said:
We were living at vertlin. ILL.,, and in
1878, when was fifteen years OF age. my
father. who had served through the civil
war, being mustered out as colonel in the
Third Illionis regiment. took up SOL
6ier's homestead near Larned. Kan. and,
Al that was then In the heart of the cat
tic country. I soon became a cowboy.
On one occasion it was necessary to
take q ride of seventy-five miles alone
across the plains to Larned, and I was
compelled to pass the night on the Rat
tlesnake creek, which was properly named.
Before could go to sleep I had killed
three rat4lers.
My most memorable experience as rider
on the plains came when a wild horse
got the better Of me. That was at Spring
creek. I got the thong rope over the AMI
mails head all right and managed to set
him up to the snubbinE post. where the
horses are branded. Gradually worked
up to the unframed animal until i was
within ten feet Of 1t. With a motion as
quick as lightninK-so 1t seemed to me
the horse raised itself on its hind legs
and struck me to the earth. When I
came to the horse Was gone and I needed
medical attention. ny.
While I Xas on the range I rode sew
ei,ty miles every Sunday to recite Latin
to the steward at Fort Larned. where
several companies Of soldiers were sta
toned. My ambition was to so to college
al soon as I could, and I spent three
years at the State University Of Kansas
and at Washburn college at Topeka.
MI. Ballinger was deputy clerk and
afterward deputy treasurer Of Pawnee
county, Kan, for two years.
While at Washburn, Mr.. Ballinger
met Senator John J.. ingalls,, who ad-
vised him to take course at Williams
college, in Massachusetts. He did this
and was graduated with the class Of
1884, Of which James r. Garfield was
q member.

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 are experts taking the census of
countries declare that the system by which the
government will take the count in 1910 is admit
teddy model which the whole world should fol-
low, If 1t would be as upto-date as 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
erect such edifice, 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
$675OOO for the purchase of site and for the six
story fireproof 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.
To-day if you were to visit Washington, and
wished to see the bureau, you would be
led to a onestory brick structure which was
erected for the tabuaton of statistics in 1900.
One great space problem which the government
faces Is the storing of census reports and this
took up just about all the room of the old struc-
lure, 50 that InOSC OF the CLERKS ana OLner nelp

The great army Of houseto-house canvassers
who will count you and your family in 1910 are

it is recorded that one man counts only about
10000 persons, many of them counting less in the

Cultivate the Open Mind.

President Eliot says the open mind is fruit OF
culture And it is likewise, a Christian virtue The
man with open mind is an agreeable person. He
is just and kindly. One can talk with him with
pleasure, for one can be quite sure, if the mind is
open, there is prejudice, envy or illwill 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 and consequently pitifu 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 no more light
will be let in.

complete satisfactory of all the souls In the
country, no adequate plans were made when the
republic was planted on this side of the Atlantic.
For that reason every decade saw hurry ana
scurry to count the population, great confusion,
distress in some sections and general prevalence OF
conditions bordering chaos. So, for more than
century it continued thus each year, for the pre-
cedng administration, it is stated did not care
about giving the next successful party anything up
on which the caption of "spoils'' might be hung,
it is declared
So nobody went after real census system very
strongly.
But modern ideas have been injected into the
counting process and the gigantic move for per-
manent bureau having succeeded, now to
have census which will enumerate speedily, &C.
curately and give results to the people in the
shortest possible time The establishment of per.
manent bureau will also bring about the perfection
of more accurate faster and far better ideas at
later dates. Each decade will changes for the

census bureau and these do far greater work than
the old style counting devices in use when the
job was started nine years ago.
There are two styles of machines-one is the
card punching device and the other, the tabulator
The first punches the holes in the census cards,
which are arranged much as in the conventional
card index. The wonderful tabulating machine
then takes the pasteboards and solely by mechan.
zeal means adds, cassif1es and makes up totals
from the cards, which pass through the device
faster than the eye follow them. Both ma
chimes essential and each is dependent upon
the other for success
The new card punching machine, which is
great improvement upon the old system, is
electrical continuance. Hitherto the operator was
compelled to play upon it like typst, but to-day
all that is necessary is to touch the key desired,
press lever and the machine keeps on punching
cards long as the power is kept on. The old
hand puncher capable of sending out 900
cards each day while the new automaton attans
a speed of $500 and saves the operators nerves.
Another feature of these new machines Is that
the United States will know after the cards
have been turned in by the great army of stats-
tics-gatherers Just where it stands on population.
Classification is also great feature, divisions
being made of whites, blacks, and other races,
along with females, males, natives, foreigners,
married and single persons.
One hundred and City of these new machines
are in the process of construction for the census
taking of 1910 Three thousand persons will do
the clerical work in the government offices at
Washington. So you see there is something to
this census taking business.
Director North of the census declares that as
soon as the incoming cards are punched he will
be able to give to the country the total. The
tabulating machines are now a closely guarded
secret in a little machine shop at the census
bureau offices in Washington and at last accounts
the experts at work upon it were perfectng the
details of it's construction. 1t is government
invention and one person gets the credit for 1t,
