Young Men Stenographers.


Mr.. RoGsevelt's private secretary,
DIR. Loeb. is naturally brought into
prominence these days, and it is
worth while for boys looking out for a
career to remember that he began
life as stenographer aod made his
way gradually to his present position.
Boys are somewhat disposed to give
stenography the go-by, now that girls
have entered into the business 50 ex-
tensiyely, but there is always a de-
mand for male experts in shorthand,
and places for them that for various
reasons cannot well be filled 6y
women. In fact, skill in the art
seems to afford good stepping-stone
for the intelligent, wideawake young
man. Mr.. Cortelyou and Mr.. La
mont both served apprenticeship as
stenographers, and many men OF
prominence, in the business world
started in a similar way.-Indianapo-

important Supreme Court Decision.

The Supreme Court of Massachusetts,
in full bench, has decided that the
state law authorizing the requirement
by local boards of health of the vacci-
nation or revaccination of all inhabi-
tants of city or town, and subject
ing persons over twenty-one years to
a penalty for refusal, is constitutions
al. The defendants in the lower court
claimed that the law was unconstitu-
tional because it violated personal lib
erty and because vaccination had in
furious effects on the human system.
The court held that it was within the
power of the legislature to enact such
a law; that its object, the prevention
of smallpox, is worthy of the fntelli-
gent thought and earnest endeavor of
legislators, and for the common good:
that 1t comes within the police power
of the legislature, and that it is nc
objection to a good law that it may
work hardship in an exceptional case.

An Old Indian Claim,

The remnants of Indian tribes
known as the Six Nations will soon re-
receive from the United States gov
eminent the sum of 81. 99s, 7a4, in set
Element of an old land claim. There
are about 5000 of these Indians, and
they own 55, 600 acres in the richest
part of New York State. The land
claim on which they are about to real
lie has curious history. 1t grows out
of the many efforts, many of them
successful, to diSpossess the indians
of valuable lands by removing them to
Western reservations. The original
title OF the Six Nations to an extern
sive tract of land in New York was
recognized by treaty made with them
in 1893. In 1888 the Indians were
persuaded that they had better move
West, and they purchased 500, 900
acres Of land in the wilds of Wiscon-
sin, For some reason they did not
move, but traded the Wisconsin land
for 1924. 900 acres in the still wilder
territory of Kansas. But they re-
manned In New York, and in 1850,
when the portion of Kansas where
their land lay was opened to settle
ment, it was taken up by the whites.
and in 1873 congress passed an act con-
firming the entries. In other words,
the whites simply ''gobbled" the In
dian lands. In 1880 Andrew John, a
chief of the Senecas, one of, the Six
Nations, came to Washington to pre-
sent their claim for the Kansas lands,
bringing with him documentary evil
dence of the whole transaction and of
their title. He has spent most of the
time for twenty years past in pressing
the claim, and little over two years
ago congress passed law authorizing
the payment to the Six Nations of
the claim. These Indians are indus
trious, thrifty and rich. In addition
to their valuable land in New York
they have large sum of money in the
United States treasury.
