Women Want to Make Money.
From the Queen.

About every third Independent woman
at the present day has scheme for max
ing money 1t has become almost a
painful fact that women no longer talk
scandal, but finance or trade. There was
a time when women indulged in hobbies
for the sake of possible amusement; now
it is nearly always with the hope of Sc
curing profit.
1t must be confessed that they display
extraordinary acumen and courage as
amateur tradesmen and non-professional
dealers. They have discovered what no
man would go out to seek. and thst is a
real "home market" Nearly all the wom-
en- who pursue something, no matter
whether it is the cultivation of eggs or
art, recognize that 1t is far wiser to sell
to friends than to compete for public pa
tronage.

pressure was brought to bear up
on the members Of the committee

interests, either to smother the

Few men who have been elect
ed to congress have commanded
so high respect among their col
.legues as has Senator Kittredge.
When he entered the senate he
was not an unknown quantity.
He had the eputation of being q
lawyer of great ability and he
had an extensive acquaintance
with public saen and men Of aff-
fairs. His habits of industry ac-
Qured in rie4d New England
were not affected when he came
to Washington. During all his
service he has set an example fol-
hard work that few are ambitious
to emulate. Ithas been his habit
to be at his committee room in
the Capitol not later than seven
O'Clock every morning, and his
correspondence for the day has
been disposed of long before the
average Congressman has had his
breakfast. At one O'Clock he
was ready for committee work,
and on roll call in the senate, A..
B. Kittredge was rarely absent.
Inall his services he never dodged
a vote on any proposition. He
was always willing to stand up
and be counted. He never was
forgetful of his duty to his CON
stituents. No power, however
great, has been able to swerve
him from the path Of duty as he
conceived it.
1t is predicted that the time is
not far distant when men of the
character and ability Of Senate,
Kittredge will again be in de,
mand in public life. He has
gone back to South Dakota, 6
private citizen, to re-engage il
the practice of law, butit will be
we'll for those who think he has
permanently joined the down
and out club to keep an eye OF
him.

The New Cabinet

L 2kC LNSh 1tttlttSLs
rhe Cabinet which has been
selected by President Taft is
comprised of men who COM
pletely and without exception
measure fully up 10 cabinet size
There are not more than two or
three of them who vii! escape
serious financial sacrifices in tax
ing positions at the council
boar. and, OH the other hand,
these men who will make sacri-
fees can afford them. Three
have been members of the cab
met Of Mr.. Roosevelt Messrs.
Knox, Meyer and Wilson. Mr..
Knox as PRIMER needs no intro
duction because of his work as
the chief law officer of the gov
ernlnent, VIZ ich is everywhere
admitted to have demonstrated
his especial fitness for the posi-
ton to which he is now called,
Mr.. Meyer has been highly sue
cessful in the nostoffice depart
ment, from which he will go to
the navy; and Mr.. Wilson is ap-
poinJed in response to a Vjgor
and unanimity of popular de
mand which could not be over
looked. He has made the agri-
cultural department what it is
and the people interested in it
demanded that he remain at that
post.
Judge Dickinson, who will be
secretary of war, is one of the
acknowledged great lawyers in
the country. Mr.. Wickersham is
perhaps the least known man in
the groupe. His appointment is
largely a personal one. He is of
the metropolitan type of office
lawyers, skilled careful and re-
puted to be able and effective.
Mr. Ballinger, who will be secre-
tary Of the interior, has served
with eminent satisfaction as COM
missioner of the general land Of
fee at a time when that office
was muck in the public eye on
account of charges of vast cor
ruption in the public domain.
He adopted new and improved
methods, knows the work of the
interior department thoroughly,
and should be an excellent man
in the place.
Mr.. Hitchcock as postmaster
general likewise goes to a SER
vice with which he is completely
familiar because of previous ser
vice in the postoffice department.
Mr.. Nagel, of Missouri. will be
secretary of the interior. He is
one of the best lawyers in his
state. Franklin MacVeagh as
secretary Of the treasury will
bring to bear the fund of vast
experience gathered as a man OF
extensive business, a banker and
a student Of affairs. On the
whole it is a cabinet which de-
serves confidence and respect.

the human stomach are right, although
1T is no surprise to. me. for I proved
the same thing to thousands of other

Cent Levy On Undistribnted
Net Earnings

WASHINGTON, June 15.-President
Taft will send to congress tomorrow a
message urging the passage OF an
amendment to the tariff bill imposing
tax of per cent upon the undis-
tributed net earnings of corporations,
and the adoption of a resolution sub
hitting to the several states an
amendment to the constitution giving
congress the power to impose tax on
incomes.
This understanding was reached at a
session of the cabinet today and was
approved by republican senate leaders
who conferred with the president
The president is said to be con-
WINGED that, if properly drawn, the
suggested amendment would give gov
eminent officials access to the books of
all corporations.

Working for Telegraph Hill

Vote for Telegraph hillr' was the
message taken to the Potrero district
yesterday morning by an enthusiastic
body Of women from the Outdoor Art
league, led by Mrs. Lowell White, who
distributed little dodgers and smaller
pastors and larger posters to more than
1000 men, each bit of literature urging
an affirmative vote for proposition
No. 4.
Most of the members of the league
were present at the launching of the
fire boat Dennis T. Sullivan, but Mrs.
White, Mrs. Whelan and Miss Crowley
failed to arrive in time for the cere-
mony because they became so inter-
ested in spreading their literature that
they fingered without the gates until
past the hour of launching.
On every side the women were re-
ceived with enthusiasm and promises
that the men would not only vote but
work among their fellow voters for the
preservation of the hill.
After the ceremony of the launching
was concluded the members of the
league remained and continued the dis
tribution of the literature. When the
throng of workmen from the Union and
Risdon iron works poured forth at the
noon hour Mrs. White and her band of
workers stationed themselves at the
gates and practically every man of the
hundreds who came out received the
little printed request for his aid.
The women were delighted with the
courtesy and interest of the men and
feel that much was accomplished by
their visit.
Those who electioreered yesterday
were: Mrs. Lowell White. Mrs. r. I.
Whelan, Miss Josephine Crowley, Mrs
North -Whitcomb, Miss Josephine Cohn,
Mrs. Henry Hip, Mrs. o. Bozeo, Mrs.

Shea, who said she had employed a

thieves.
