WORK THAT WOMEN PREFER

Census figures relating to womens occupations in New York City
throw a interesting light on the drift of female labor in the last ten
years.
Thus, while the number OF factors in the greater city declined FROM
4733 to 427 between 1000 and 1910, the number OF actresses rose from
2629 to $3.50. The number of women BARRIERS, hairdressers and mani
increased FROM S2 to 1904; the number OF bookkeepers, cashiers
and accountants from 1921 to 216l3; telegraph and telephone operators
from 24O6 to 1862; milners from 1851 to 1900; laundresses from
l6102 to 1898, and cigar and tobacco factory operatives from o437 20
$751;. The number OF women musicians and music-teachers rose FROM
1921 to $50, and women stenographers and typewriters show the r-
markabe increase from 10S6S to 33769.
Meantime, the number OF servants and mattresses increased troTl
l03963 to but l223o7, Notwithstanding the great growth of population.
The number OF taloresses and the number OF seamstresses and dress
telegraphed from Washington and the agreement OF the classification CT
the former with the last census. The number OF saleswomen "a 2276l
in 1910 as against 22705 in 1900 and there a a decline in some forms o.
factory labor, such as paper-box making. inv
For a conclusive showing OF womans changing preferences in the
choice OF an occupation, an analysis of the full census report will be
necessary. But enough is contained in the summary to Indicate a mark, i
tendency away from hborious pursuits and a drift toward those OF a
potter nature which provide independence along with congenial surround
ings.

WOULD BE UNDER CONTROL

One OF the salient points made by Senator Newlands in his Tuesday
nights speech when he said, to quote IRON memory, through the
powers OF the Interstate Commerce commission the railroads are o
willing to at u Of the hands OF the people" He then added that if an
Interstate Trade commission had been in existence a few years ago,
the same condition would now obtain with the trusts as with the raj
roads They would be under complete subsection. The Trade commits
sion bill is of President Wilson's pet measures and is having the
finishing touches put upon it. 1t must pass by Democratic votes. But
send a Republican o the senate or house OF representatives at the coming
election and you are tying the presidents hands just to the extent uf
that members vote. For the Republican party, toadying to the preta-
tory classes just as much now a it did when in power, will defeat the

PREDICTS DEFEAT

Because OF facional differences the collapse of the movement for
woman suffrage is predicted by Mrs. Arthur Nj. Dodge of Washington,
president of the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage.
"On the one hand" says Mrs. Dodge, I'VE e the Congressional
Union, headed by Miss Alice Paul, declaring indiscriminate var against
all Democrats because a Democratic congress has refused Ito amend the
constitutions. On the other hand we see DR.. Anna Shaw, president of the
National American Suffrage association, repudiating all connection WITH
the Congressional Union. The truth of the matter Gems to be that the
country is confronted with the spectacle Of several bands or groups u
women quarreHng among themselves" t H#. I+

THE MAN ON THE JOB"

One OF the chief glones OF the Taft administration a that it went
on wheels. During the four years that he filled the office of chief execu
tive, Mr.. Taft travelled over $4,000 miles, understanding ven his rest
less predecessor. By way of consolation for being second to Mr.. Taft d
a Punman-car tourist, Mr.. Roosevelt could boast that as president he
uttered more words spoken and written, than any other ten presidents.
To neither distinction "a Woodrow Wilson lay claim. In the eigh-
teen months that he has been president he has travelled little and talked
little. He is the man on the job-a distinction that is emphasized by
his brief visit to Princeton to perform the duties of citizenship in the
New Jersey primaries.

The Irish HOME Rule bill, having been accorded the formalty Ct
royal assent, is now a law, although it will n OF go into effect for a
year. and then probably not until it has been amended in a manner 20
conciiate the Ulster minority. The law as it stands provides for the
establishment OF IN Irish parliament at Dublin and a ministry resp =
sile to the same. The functions OF the Irish parliament are strrrtl,
limited, however, and its power will be considerably less than that O. the
legislature of me of the United States. 1t is significant OF the extreme
moderation of the Irish peoples demands that the measure of home rule
granted by this law is acceptable to the Irish leaders.

as wide awake al anybody. But il it occurs to him that he would like
