In an address to the economic section
of the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science at Cornell univer-
sity Monday, II. L. Newcomb, the railroad
statistician, challenged the prevalent opin-
ion that the government is the best en-
pioyer. To prove this he quoted statistics
showing that while the cost of living adj
vanced IL per cent from 1896 to 1904,
and while the average wages in private
employ had advanced 1916 per cent, there
was not the slightest advance in wages in
public employment. He referred also to
the restrictions placed on federal Office
holders. in the curtailment of their polit-
ical privileges. and reminded his hearers
that all except government employees are
free to petition Congress. Furthermore,
Mr.. Newcomb points out that when the
government becomes an employer it has
the power to compel the service of its
employees upon terms of its own choosing,
and experience has shown that it will
exercise this power.

will assume the social position in; the

rage of her elder sister. The young
woman will not be introduced formally
to society for a year to come, but the
rigid convention that governs the av-

When President Roosevelt and his

Ethel will occupy the suite formerly
reserved to Miss Alice. This apart
ment consists Of bedroom, boudoir
and bath: overlooking Pennsylvania

refurnished turnout to suit the tastes
Of the young woman. The walls are
hcing done in blue, several shades
lighter than that which became known

heavy mahogany furniture used by the
! elder girl is being replaced with light
maple, which gives the rooms bright
er appearance. Most of the furnish
ings come from New York, where they
were bought short time ago by Miss
Ethel herself. A large bookcase is
being made after her own design.

rooms will be filed with books, as,
