Roo.evelt.s Railroad Policy.

Paul Leroy -Beaulieu, the distinguish
ed French economist, is reported to
have expressed the opinion recently
that Mr.. Roosevelt has gone too far in
his interference with state and COM
mercial enterprise. While in his opin-
ion the president is right in his en-
deavor to curb the trusts, everything
tending toward state ownership of rail-
ways should be antagoniZed. The con-
clusion must be, under this expression,
that the French economist believes
that such ownership is the aim and
the end of the agitation promoted by
the president.

WOMEN IN STENOGRAPHIC WORK

An interesting feature of the re-
Gently published census figures relat-
ing to women workers in the United
States is the enormous increase In
the number of stenographers as
compared with those in other lines OF
work. In the decade from 1880 y
1900 there was an increase OF only
80 per cent in the total number OF
women earning wages or salaries,
but among the stenographers alone
the increase was 800 per. cent. the
dgures for 1900 being S5,0S6 and
Tor 1890 only 1924. From this can
be seen how great has been the
growth in the use of typewriters In
modern commercial and professional
life.
Another fact brought out in the
census returns Is that the girl or
woman engaged in stenography is,
more than any other class OF woman
who works, earning money not only
for herself but for someone depend
ent upon her. She is the real bread
winner, dividing her money with
brother, sister or mother, and pos
sibly with a father who can not or
will not work. There are of course,
hundreds of stenographers who spend
or save the money they earn entirely
for themselves, but as class they
are found to be helpers of others,
and a larger percentage of them live
at home than of other wage-earning
women.
When the question Of matrimony
is considered it would seem that the
stenographer has peculiar advant-
ages or attractiveness, since very few
stay in the business beyond the age
of 32 years and not many up to that
age. Before that time, the figures
show. most stenOgraphers abandon
their business and become married.
Few marry and remain at work, the
census figures showing that nearly
95 per cent of all the stenographers
in the country are single. Less than
3 per cent are married and about 2
per cent are widows. Only a small
fraction of divorced women are
found in this branch OF work.

The world has a wholly erroneous
impression Of Bill Nye's personal ap-
pearance. This Is due chiefly to Walt
McDougall, the comic artist who H.
Illustrated Mr.. Nye's weekly output for
several years. 1t is true that during
the latter period of his life the humor-
list was bald on top of his head, but he
had quite fringe Of hair at the sides
and rear. There is a photograph Of
him taken in 1879. when he was editor
Of the Laramie Boomerang, which
shows him with full set of whiskers,
though a fur cap serves to leave the
matter Of his upper badness at that
period an open question.
Those McDougall pictures, though
they enhanced the humor of Nye's
writings, were not pleasing to Nye him
self. 1t is related that Nye requested
the managing editor Of the American
Press Association, which syndicated

McDougall, he said, made him look

service forthwith emitted such roar
that it was deemed necessary to return
to Mr.. McDougall. Mr. Bush's pictures
were good, but they had too much hair

AN APPRECIATION.

It is with no small amount OF
pleasure that the World today chron-
icles the news of the appointment or
Frank M. Dallam, Jr., to the position
of private secretary of Governor A.
E.. Mead
That the appointment will meet
with the most general approval, and
the governor himself. We have reason
to believe, may have cause to consid-
er himself fortunate in securing a
young man with not only the ability,
but with the character and standing
as has his newly appointed secretary
Frank NJ. Dallam, Jr., is not only
one of the best known, but he is, as
well. one of the most favorably
known of any of the young men o.
this section of the state.
There are reasons why this is 50.
Integrity, sincerity Of purpose, hon
esty and nobility of character has
given him the standing that he has
today. With high ideals of life and
as a man who lives above the clouds,
there are few who command great
er respect.
Frank Dallam will be missed in
the Daily World office, but his reslg-
nation is, accepted in the belief that
in his new work he will find great
err fields of opportunity and useful
ness.

ONE, but not forgotten, is BIZ
Nye, most famous Of newspa-
per humorists. He died eleven
years ago. Now there is going
to be Bill Nye monument. The an
nouncement comes from the American
Press Humorists, an organization of
"poets, photographers and philosophers"
who do their poetizing, paragraphing
and philosophlzing in the daily and
weekly papers. This association Is
raising a fund to build monument to
the memory Of Bill Nye-Bill Nye Of
the Boomerang.
The Boomerang was twins. 1t was
q mule and newspaper, both owned
by Bill Nye. Both Inhabited Laramie,
Wyo. The boomerang newspaper was
named after the mule. The monu-
ment is to be erected at Laramie,
we are told, because it was in that
far western town that Bill Nye first
discovered that he was a humorist
Prior to that discovery he had made
the mistake OF imagining that he was
a lawyer. The mistake was well nigh
fatal, as he confessed himself.

THE MAN WITH THE GOODS.

OF four-flushing fellows it's had
quite enough;
The world wants the men that are
there every time
When the clock strikes the hour, the
bell rings the chime;
The men who are faithful and true
and sincere,
With O heart that is willing to work
with good cheer;
Not men who go whistling with fear
thro' the woods
The world wants the men that can
come with the goods!
The men with the good are the men
for the hour,

their power!

ridiculous to have his hair on the
wrong end of his head. He wore
clothes, be confessed. to cover his body,

not waste his time in studying the
Partisan fashions. But he dressed
pretty much as the average man dress

Nye was. in fact, measurably hand
some man. Walt McDougalrs idea
seems to have been that he must make
Nye's personal appearance as exag-
geratedly funny as We're his writings,
which accounts for the fact that those
who did not know Mr.. Nye by sight
continue to think of him as cadavcr-
Gus scarecrow with a benevolent grin
on it's face.
AS youth Nye put in six sorrowful
months trying to read Blackstone,
Coke. Chitty and other favorite au-
thors in Wisconsin law office He
always maintained that he could read
those authors over and over again and
find them just as fresh and novel as
at the first reading. Nevertheless ne
managed to be admitted to the bar at
Laramie. Wyo.. in 1876, where he set
tied down and made Il feint at prac-
ticing law. For pastime and income
he sent a weekly letter of correspond
ence to the Cheyenne Sun, for which
he received 81 per column. In one Of
his numerous photographed confes-

This, he said, was SO much more than
he made at the law that he determined
to sink deeper into Journalism. So
he secured regular job on the Lar
