The center of the popt l4tton' of the United States has moved westward from Ohio, cleared Indiana and landed in Illinois unlenss the can sus bureau experts are mistaken. Be tween 1890 and 1900 the population center, then down in Ohio, changed less than during the 100 years preced lq1g. The change landed it at a point In Ohio in a hickory grove six miles noutheast of ('olumbun, Ind.

The German business man brings to the solution 'of the everyday 'ptoblems of his affairs an equipment of~ tedh nicai education, disciplinary orderll ness, ;dogged determination and un flan lpg industry not poshessed by either his British or American rival He rises at 6 o'clock, has his simple breakfast of coffee and rollS, ihd is at work as soon as he cai reach the office or factory, never later than S o'clock. He has his second breakfast, a sdndwich, in his pocket, and he eats it sometime between 10 and 11, whdiFr ever hesmuy happen to be. At I o'clock he goes home, it he is a family man, not for his, lhieh,, but for his dinner, the lasrest meal of-the day. He eats this with his.family'leisurely, and aft erwards lies down for' a short esp. When he awakes he bib a cup of cof fee and a, cigar, and then gooe back to tet office and is at his deslt by, S o'clouk.; And there hp wilt slaty Until his work. Is finished (having coffee At 61 even If It is 9 or 10 o'clock. Then ie ree home, has his supper and goes ;Th' long midday rest seemA odd to Americhns with' the quick lunch habit, hbit it enables' 4he German to get In four to five 'hours' work itn the morn Ing,eaad five to seven hous after diO ner, a total of nine to twelve holrrl each day. Thlis is the daily program of at least' three-fourths of the lermnan men of affairs. lls clerks follow the name ; rotlion, except tlat they miy not go home for dinner, although they will have an holmr and a half or two hosurs off for that important meal. They, too, qqe expected to stay at their work until 't Is finished, without ro caitl' to the coming of night. lAborers. skilled or unskilled, do not work'so long. It ¥o a theory of the German state that the labor of its peopld is its principal asset, and It prpteeta its working men by ausystem of -strictly enforced laws, designed to crpsSrtie their strength andi to prevent the iitptllrleant of the usefulness by o$'pywrro r.qr unsanitpry environment. Sn if ,thpe, factory worker should be w iog to stay overtinle, the ever wdehful police will' attepd? to It that thi afootry' 1s closed down and that th9 woirkssp are all qn their-. Jway Sole at the hour appointed by law. ie law prescribes Just .how much I4ght a factory must htve; Jusit how bhy cubic feet of air slust be al bdled tq each workman, juist what ar ngfinments for ventilqtton, and sant tatiton atre deemed necessary, and so oh. The enforcement of these rdgula tions Is not left to a factory inspector With an inadequate staff, but is a charge upon the regular police force. Insieectiop is not annual, nor semi-an n0al, but daily. Every factory fend workshop lt constantly uAder the vig illgt survetillnce of the police officers, and the plightest infraction of the strict lpd minute details of the regu lations w'lhIibe reported. And, further mo!~e, the, employer must each week pay. into the public` treasury a certain raoiety of each employe's wages to guarantee that employe's old age pen sion. In return for this the business maIn expects to receive, land does recelve, the entire loyalty of every mans in his employ. He cannot discharge a man except for good cause, as the slightest disagreement between employer and eniploye goes into the. 'industrial coprts, trot by the agreement. of the parties but because the, state does not pe'mit 'the privatei settlemeht of such differancbs. On the other 'hand the state is quick to punish an employe who is disloyal in any fashion. SThis. system strikes an American as being unbearably paternalistic, bpt the German workman says It protects him from oppression, and the German em ployer says tlhat it insures immunity from' labor troubles and . strikes fo mented by Irresponsible agitators. The constant Interference by the apthorl ties Ip not regardaled as obnoxious by either employer or employs, but is looked upon as the natural and lu evitable business of the police. It must not be forgotten that every busi neas man In Glermany, great or samll, and every laboring man, skilled or un skilled, has served his termn In the army wearing the kinlg's coat, and that there he learned habits of discl pline, btder andl uniquestioning obe. dience, and to subordina.te his own will to that of aulthority. The military training and its effect upon the Glerlman mind is responsible both for the strength and the weak-) ness of the German commercial canm paign. The great mlanufacturer or the great merclhanlt first of all received a technical edfeatlon,, and tihen got his military training. lie rose to his po sltion its a g(eneral in tihet colnmmerUial army by proimotion front tlhe ranks. lie pilans his work withl thie samse care und slieety wllcels ihe would use in working out a problemn -f war. Upon the basis of that plan hie evolves a tlheory and gives orders accordingly. 'He known that his orders will be obeyed, literal ly and exactly. Tise resslt is, that iI the plans have been good, the resllts lslh will he good. lilt if there was a defect hi thile pins, and if every stb. ordinate ill tile organil#1tin recog niles It as a dtrfect, tlhe orders will be carried -out nevertihessln, and the campaign will result in disaesterl: It mslst be said that the greeter utlstmber of Gearman commercial gen erals Isave been unerring In their fore. silgt as was Von Moiltke and his gen era fatt las planning for 8badowa nd Sedan. Tliat is why Germnan' Industrips have forged ahead more rapidly than those of asy otiher coustry, tlhat is why ,Germany's foreign trade has in creased at an unprecedented rate, and that is wvily landstrliai Germany is about to capture the sasprenmacy of thie connmerelal world. itit tle (lernmalns oftetn make fall urtr in hsinlsless, and the greater wun her of thlese Inay be traced to tlhe7ct that the military discipline and highly organzsied rules for the. regulatlonriof every detail, hiave choked alnd stifled the initiative of the men is the ranks. Over-oripnizatlon and super-rystema. .tli5stlion are thle chiief faqits, Q. the Ger man commercial world, It has made comPnetent and efficient subordinates afraid to take action in case of emer gqnc.y. It isas made even the heads of busJness uoacerns pay~ sypre fii.tas.inl to petty detail than to hroad prin clples, S-or instance, a Oerftha 1 usi)nessl holUsecpaying a hill by check will de4. duct from the check the amount of the postage necessary to send thq let ter. A German business man will re fuse to receive a letter if It in marked "pontage due," regurdless ,pt the fact thiat the letter may (con.5lI. an ordefa or a, payment. He demandas'that his. olerk furlly prepayevery place or mall seat out of hsl orfflce, and he expects his correspondents to exerclne lmtnllar diligence. ' No amount of argument will Induce him to change this prac tice. or even to admit the possibility of his being wrong. Sven In the retail Kt6res orinary shopping is hamperedt by miles and miles of red tape, and the ednverlince o tile customer and tle time of.. the lp4)stnan both are sacrlified orn the tltar of system. Once the system Is iltabllshed, nothing can alter its proc eases, and no exception to a rule of conduct will be made uhder any clr eapmatances, however great tie emer geIey. The whole German business system Is corlstructed along military llste, and Germah commerce is always under nlartial law. .tut this dlOes nht mean that (r'r mail buslness men Intc adaptahlllt'. They have iNstituted ni German. sys teSt for lise In domestic commerce; bitit they have cnrefully avoided tie orlor of their, BrLtlsh and Amerlahn cousins who have insisted upon en forcing the camie business system at hlo'me and abroad. When the German business man reaches Into a foreign copntry to get business, he formulates a systematlc campaign 'based upon the commercial prnctices of that country. England had a monopoly or the In di4p and Chinese' trade for decades, but always It Insisted upon doing buIl .ess In the English language, accord. lLg to E nglish practices. (lernmn trade emissanres always are equlpped with a knowledge of the Inlglltsi language, so that they can mebt their chief competitors on their own ground, and they also learn Chl npke In China, Spanish In South A irlcra, Arabhl In Arabla, and In every land the tongue of that country. ethe rapid growth of German foreign tr'ade Is sufflclenit proof that the Ger man way of doing business according th aI system has Its advantages over the. Anglo-Saxon fashion of doing hbuiness according to a custom. "Germany Is no longer the land of thinkers and poets-It Is a nation of business and battleships." So says an agent German writer in commenting upon the transition Of his country from the day of the Ibethes, the Schll IrFp, the Schopenhauerk and the Nlet aches to the age of the Ballins, whose ships epglrdle the globe; the Krupps who arm the nations: the wlinners who are bankers for 'the yorld; the otrsigs, Whose locomotives rattle over the graves of Israel and lshmael: and' the 81emens, whose electrical devices hAve made alive the Jnrgles of Africa a4d India.

Report of Committee. The report of the committee .was algned by C, M. Bat.h and M. M.

In Its report the committee said: "We, your committee, appointed at the last meeting to investigate and re port on the question of home pLtron age, beg leave to subnlit the following report: "After a good deal of investigation we have come to thy conclutsion that the people of Heleona stnd out of., the dlity annually the tremelidous. stm of $00:000 to $700,000, all of which could be left at home if the business .men, the professional t en and the bankers and all who have the good of the city an heart, wouldl get,in line and boost forl home patr.oage. Your com mittee found that some of the -business and professional men,' as well as. aqule of the bankers, practice this very bad habit of buying a gpeat deal of ther. goods in the east.
