A4cERMAN CENSUS SHOWING.

"some striking and highly informa-
five statistical tables have been pub
1ished in a Vienna newspaper showing
the steady tendency toward larger eco.
nomic units in Germany. The tables
show a decided retrogression OF the
agricultural population and cores
nonding growth Of the Industrial popu-
Iation. Some recently published
United States census tables reveal the
same phenomenon in this country, but
It is in an analysis Of the industrial
figures that the most significant facts
are shown" says the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal. "In 1882, out of each 1000
of German population 4O5 made their
living farming; in 1895 the number
was 35S and in 1907 only 2S6. This
means that only little more than a
quarter Of the population are engaged
in agriculture, while the rest are in
Industrial pursuits.

Postmaster General Hitchcock is

Postmaster General Hitchcock Is a
young man who has done some strik-
ing things. For one thing he en-
gineered the nomination. of President
Taft and did his work so well that he
was able to forecast almost accurately
the total Taft vote in the Chicago con-
vention.. He has been called the poll
tician of the Taft administration, but
Mr.. Hitchcock has proved that he can
do other things besides playing poll
tics. Just now hehas every reason to
point with pride to the wiping out Of
the postal deficit of $17,600,000, which
has been carried down from former
administrations, and he sees every
hope of showing a postal surplus at the
close Of the present fiscal year. This
has been done by rigid business man
Iagement. AS the postmaster. general
puts it, "the wiping out in less than
two years of the largest deficit in the
history of the department, was &C
complished not by curtailing postal
facilities, but by extending the service
along profitable lines"

Ottumwa friends of 0. L. Dickson
were pleased today to hear of his pro-
motion to the vice presidency of the
White Pass & Yukon railroad, posi-
ton which gives him jurisdiction over
all departments, both freight and pas
senger, of that road. Mr.. Dickson,
though but "a years Of age, has risen
high In the railroad world. For some
time past he has held the position of
special inspector of transportation on
the Burlington, but this position
meant more than it's name implies. He
has been recognized as the direct rep
resentative and spokesman OF the
presidents of the western railroads,
and was an important witness for the
railroads in the recent hearings before
the interstate commerce commission.
Mr. Dickson is essentially self-made
man. He went to Chicago at the age
OF Is to begin work as stenographer
in the Burlington's transportation de-
partment. His executive abilities
brought him from this position to a
place where he became the personal
representative of President Darius
Miller of the Burlington. Mr.. Dicke-
sons friends believe that this new po-
sition is but the stepping stone to high
er places in the railroad world.
