MINISTERIAL SKILL
At. a recent banquet given at the
house of the Prime Minister of one of
the Balkan states a distinguished dip-
lomat complained to his host that the
minister of justice next to whom he
was sitting had taken his watch.
The Prime Minister said “Ah, he
shouldn’ t have done that. I will get it
back for you."
Sure enough toward the end of the
evening the watch was returned to its
owner. “And what did he say. 9' ask-

‘Sh- h! He does not know i have got

PREPARING FOR ANOTHER OEN‘
8U8.
It Will Employ 70,000 People and Cost
About $14,000,000
it will require an army of 70.000
people to lake the thirteenth census
in 1910. The task of making the
enumeration of the 90,000,000 people
in the United States. Alaska. Hawaii
and Porto Rico and in Guam. Sa-
rnou and the Panama Canal Zone will
be one of enormous proportions. It
will he the most gigantic work of enn-
mcrntion that has ever been attempt-
ed in this or any other country. and
it is intended to reach the acme of
correctness and thoroughness. Not
merely a count and compilation con
cerning the. population alone, it will
include a census of agriculture, man-
ufactures. mines and cilarrles.
Director S. N. I). North of the cen-
sus bureau. is already getting ready
for the thirteenth census. He has
been planning on it for a year or
it was hoped by Mr. North
that the Crumpaclrer bill to provide
for the thirteenth and subsequent de-
cennial censuses would be passed the
But it failed
of enactment along with numerous
other measures of importance by rea
son of the rush at the close of the
session and the anxiety of the con-
gross leaders to hurry the session to
and end.
The Crumpackcr bill. however. will
doubtless be passed early the next ses-
sion. It is the first bill of high privi-
lege on the house calendar, and it is
expected it will be taken up the first
or second day of the session and dis-
posed of' by the house. It. hasnot
yet been acted on by the senate com-
mittee on census, that committee hav-
ing held back until the house had op.
portunity to pass the measure. No
delay in the senate, either in commit-
tee or on the floor. is anticipated
it will cost about $14. 000, 000 to
take the .hirteenth census, but this is
not carried in the Crumpacker bill as
it is on the house calendar. It was in
the bill at: first. but the speaker and
Chairman Tawney of the house com-
mittee on appropriations thought it
unwise to make so large an authoriza-
tion a year before it would be used
and there was also a feeling that the
appropriation should be put in one of
the regular appropriation bills. as the
legislative. executive and judicial bill.
The coming session of congress will no
doubt appropriate liberally for census
purposes
A census of the Philippines will not
be included in the coming decennial
census for the reason that one was
taken in 1903 and it is doubtful
whether' the Philippines government
would care to bear the cost of an-
other enumeration so soon.
Important changes in the taking and
compilation of the census and in the
method of publication of the returns
will be made. For one thing, the re
turns will be greatly condensed The
twelfth census required ten volumes
It is the expectation of Director North
that the thirteenth census will be pub
dished in six volumes or seven at the
outside. The mortality statistics of the
last census will be dropped. They
were found unsatisfactory as collect
ed at the last decenniel census The
reduced number of volumes will con—
siderably lower the cost of the thin.
teenth census.
A change that is believed to be in
the interest of accuracy and complete-
population to be made as of April 15

heretofore. The reason for this is fn-n

more a tendency to go to the seashore
and the mountains and the lakes to.
avoid the hot weather‘ and it is going
much earlier than formerly. The re-
sult is that ehumérators who are set
to work June 1 are certain to find
many houses deserted and their occu-
pants gone away for the summer. it
is thought April 1 will be a much
more satisfactory date for this reason.
At that. time of year the exodus to the
resorts will not” be begun.
Provision will be made for 330 dis-
trict supervisors and there will be
several thousand in the clerical forces
in the census bureau establishment in
Washington. The number of enumer-
ators will be 6.000. As already men-
iloned the total force needed to do
the work will a proximate 70, 000 The
clerical force ll be under civil ser-
vice, but. it is thought to be imprac-
ticable'to attempt to make the enor
nrous force of enumerators subject to
the civil service requarements. Mr.
North considers. it out of the question
to try to select the enrrmerators by
civil service methods, though objec-
tions have been raised by the friends
of the civil service to the proposition
that its workings should not be ex-
tended to census enumerators. It is
apparent that those politicians who
are hostile to the civil service see ex-
cellent opportunities in the selection
of a vast body of enumerators in the
old fashioned way, through political
preferment, but there is unquestlon
ably room for doubt whether a work-
able civil servloe scheme could be
devised to meet the situation.
A five year census of agriculture is
a feature of the Crumpacker bill. No
don t. congress will make provision
for such a census. Secretary Wilson
believes such a census should be
had. Such is the progress being made
by the United States in an “flout
turai way that he finds his department
loses its reckonings badly if the cen-
sus is taken for agriculture but once
in ten years. And in this connection
it may be said that a five year cen-
sus of population is something that
the country is likely to come to be-
fore many years. Director North con-
fidently expects it. Now a census of
manufactures is taken every five
years. The same reasoning that
prompted this will hold good, Mr
North believes, for the taking of a
general census every five years, in-
stead of every ten years. The coun-
try ls growing by leaps and bounds,
and long before the decennial census
is taken and the results made kno‘m
the preceding decenniel census is ut-
terly out of date and its figures of lit-
tle use except in way of comparison.

Prince Philip Has Been Growing
Worse, and is in Half Dying
Condition.
BERLIN. July 17.——The trial of
Prince Philip zu Eulenbprg‘on charg-
es of perjury in connection with the
court scandals of last year, was sud-
denly interrupted today, and it has
been indefinitely suspended because
the prince is in a half-dying condition.
He has been steadily growing weaker
during the eighteen days of the trial.
Towards the close the court wag
transferred to a. room in the charity
hospital, wher the prince is confined.
The court probably would have post-
poned the trial before today, had not
the German newspapers insisted that
no consideration be shown to the fall-
en favorite of the emperor-that an
aristocrat should not be permitted to
defer the verdict of the court by what
they intimated was a pretense nt iii-
nebs.
The prince is described as having
broken down and sobbed on his cot
when the Judges refused to continue
the trial. In a week voice he urged
them to go on and put an end to his
long agony.
When the trial was resumed, the
prince was lying on a cot in front of
‘ the row of chairs placed at one end
of the mom for the five judges. Fol-
lowing an announcement of his condi-
tion, the prosecuting attorney said
that the case should be indefinitely
suspended. Whatever his duty aka
