WHITE NOW CHIEF JUSTICE

Edward Douglas White, whom Presf-
dent Taft has appointed chief justice
of the United States Supreme court.
is native of Louisiana
He was born in the parish Of La
fourche, La, in November. 1845. In
his early youth he attended the school
at Mount st. Marys, near Emmits-
burg, Nd; later he entered the Jesuit
college in New Orleans, and finally he
went to Georgetown college of Wash
ington, D. C. Justice White served In
the Confederate army during the civil
war and practised law among the
people of Louisiana.
In 1891 Mr.. White became a national
figure. A senatorial contest was waged
in Louisiana and Mr.. White entered
the race. He had managed the cam
paign of Governor Nichols for re-elec-
tion and had been prominent in the
reform element of his state. He had
fought in favor of the anti-lottery
movement. The legislature finally
chose him to succeed Senator Eustis.

opportunity. She may select her pro
fession or occupation and find abun'
dant chances to perfect herself In the
chosen work. The woman who does
something great In art or literature or
who makes a reputation for herself In
any line stirs the feminine imagina-
ton and soon acquires many follow
ers.
There seems to be a great tendency
of the college woman to turn to so
cial work. This calling numbers quite
high in the rank of women's activi-
ties. There are numerous women
physicians, and many private secre-
tarfes are numbered In the ranks OF
the woman worker.
IL, Women In Many Professions.
The census of 1900 showed among
women workers fifty astronomers, 100
architects, forty civil engineers and
thirty mechanical and electrical engi-
neers. There are 5000 women clergy
men. OF course all these cannot be
traced as to their respective colleges,
but doubtless the great majority OF
them have college degrees.
This is a varied list, but those occu-
pations are calling more and more
college graduates. The chances are
that teaching will always call large
proportion, not only because It is a
natural profession for a woman OF
scholarly tastes, but because Of the
long vacations which are denied to
women in other professional walks of
| life.
So 1t would seem that the college
woman, whether she decides to enter
the state of matrfmony or not, gets q
good deal out of life. Married, she
has her husband and her home; un-
married. she has an interesting pro.
fession. But verify, the world has
changed considerably since the days
OF Romeo and Juliet.

GOVERNOR WAS ONCE A WAIT

Politics aside, the case Of the new
governor of Tennessee goes to prove
that the day Of equal opportunity has
not entirely passed in this country.
The new governor signs himself Ben
jamin w. Hooper," but what his real
name is, no one knows. He does not
know himself, and although now near.
ly forty years of age he does not know
who his parents were.
He was found on the streets of
Knoxville and committed to the care
of an orphan asylum, whence he was
taken ten years later by Captain Hoop
er of Newport, Tenn. who gave him
his name and educated him. From
orphan asylum to the executive man
sion! From nameless waif to COVER
nor Of a sovereign state! The way
would seem always open in this coun-
try to those who work and strive.

reasons as those operative last week and
the week before, although this week the
money loet by the banks has been much
less. This loss has not been wholly due
to the large payments made to the gov.
eminent on account OF the recent Pa
mama Canal issue, but because of the
usual semi-annual outflow of money
from this city in dividend and intere
payments. A good deal Of the money
distributed in this last-named way is
row pointing back to this city. and it e.
probable. therefore, that the loss Of the
