ness to fill the position of private Sec
retary to William j. Bryan.
Secretary Bryan picked Mr.. Wyvell
on the ground, primarily. of his per-
sonal fidelity Mr.. Wyvell is a Bryan
devotee. Nearly 13 years ago. when
Mr.. Bryan was making his second
campaign for the presidency, he dis
covered Mr.. Wyvell. then a student at
Cornell, and president of the Cornell
Bryan club, an organization of vast
activity and limited membership.
Now Cornell is one Of the most pro-
life of the American universities in
the production of Republican gradu-
ates. The principles enunciated from
the chair long held by Andrew D..
White, were distinctly anti-Bryan, and
it occurred to the anti-imperialist lead
er of 1900 that man who could de-
velop Organism in the atmosphere of
Ithaca, must have the real spirit
There and then he picked upon Wy
veil as his disciple, and such Wy
veil has remained until on March he
reaped his reward by being called to
serve his leader in the confidential ca
pacity of private secretary.
Mr.. Wyvell is still young, hardly
thirty-five. but he has been in politics
ever SINCE he left college. Last fall
he ran for congress, but was defeat
ed. His new position is his first fed

premier of the corps of private sec
retaries. This honor came not through
seniority. There are other private
secretaries who have been in serv-
ice many years, while Manton M Wy
veil was appointed only recently. But
he is rapidly acquiring experience. for
regardless of the fact that the ap-
pointing powers of the secretary of
state are the most limited of any of
the ten cabinet members, the principal
attack of the ofiiceseekers has cen

PRESIDENT WILSON'S BUSINESS MANAGER

ing exceptionally eloquently.
Two years ago Mr.. Redfield came to
the house of representatives. 1t is a
principle in business that nothing over
takes the sensitive man who looks and
stands back. The firing line of com
merce has its own methods and point
of view. Likewise its own casualties,
which is an essay in itself. Mr.. Red
field. besides, was filled with prln-
ciples battling for utterance. He talk
ed in congress right off. Better still,
he was heard. He was manufactur-
er. Money came at his beck and call.
Maybe he would reveal the secret.
Moreover, he was precise. Once he
was a bookkeeper and cent even
could unbalance his accounts. By habit
and by instinct he abominated errors
of fact as he saw the truth. So he
took the floor when he thought he
heard them and slew them on the
spot Wherefore he was also re-
spected and privately feared.
The secretary of commerce investi-
gates the organization and manage
ment of corporations. He has no au-
thority, however, over railroads. Fur
thermore, he is directed to scrutinize
and foster commerce. He is the busi-
ness man, it might be said. at the
solemn table of the presidents coun-
selors. His eye, in way, is supposed
to be on iron, steel, oil, sugar, tobac-
CO, and other products more or less
monopolized. The detection of cor
porative lawbreakers. because he must
know their management, is one of the
duties he is required to perform. Their
prosecution is the employment of the
attorney general.

Pointing to the number of deaths
from typhoid fever for the year 1911
as being the low
Typhoid Death est on record,
Toll Reduced. statement of the
bureau of the cen
sus declares, however. that this is far
in excess of the mortality from this
cause in progressive European coun-
try This reduction, it says, ''indi-
Gates that the public health officials
of the country and the people who
support their efforts are awakening
to the necessity of wiping out this
filth disease"
The statement declares that in 1911
there were 12,451 deaths from this
cause in the registration area. This
is death rate of 81 per 1000 COM
pared with 235 the year previous.
Lower death rates are also noted in
tuberculosis. measles. scarlet fever,
cancer. infantile paralysis and organic
diseases of the heart.
Increases were shown in the deaths
from pellagra, suicide and violent
deaths excluding suicide.
The increase in the mortality from
pellagra was large, according to the
statement. During the early part OF
the decade, 1900 to 1909, the reported
mortality from this disease was in
significant, two deaths being returned
for 1900, two for 1908 and one for
1904. For 1908, % deaths we're re-
turned, all of which occurred in south
ern cities. A large increase was
shown in 1909, during which 116
deaths were reported, and still larg-
er increase for 1910. when 36S deaths
were reported as due to this disease.
The mortality OF $50 for 1911, as com
pared with 36S for 1910. indicates an
increase of 70 per cent.
An important statement In the cen
sus bureaus paper is that organic
diseases of the heart in 1911 caused
more deaths, S3.525, than any other
disease or group of diseases shown
in the abridged international list. al
though the number of deaths from
tuberculosis of all FORMS 94.205. was
considerably greater. However, the
death rate from organic heart trouble
In 1911 was slightly lower than that
for the preceding year, but the rate
for these two years is declared to be
much higher than that OF previous
years.

States for the month of March and
the nine months ended March, said:
The figures are striking, both in
their magnitude and in their details.
The aggregate business, inward and
outward, of the United States with
foreign countries for the nine months
was little in excess of $4,000 900
an impressive total, which If main
tanned at the same rate would bring
the business for the entire fiscal year
well in excess of S4,1O0,000,000.
Great Britain is our largest Gus

fourth comes France, to whom we
sold s12O,O0O,O00 and from whom we
bought s112,000,00O.
The figures for the entire nine
months are such as to give just pride
to every thoughtful American to
whose notice they come. Out of the
total transactions of s3,300,000, 900
there is a balance In our favor of a
little over s50O,000,0O0. Doing pretty
well. that. But a few comparisons
with 1912 make it look even better.
For example, our sales of manufac-
lures for further use In manufacturing
increased over s56.0O0,0OO and our
sales of manufactures ready for use
increased over the same period last
year $SS.50O,O00, an increase in these
