MORE MEN ARE NOW GOING
INTO PROFESSIONAL LIFE
Lawyers Increasing cteadiIy, but Pro-
portion O. Doctors the Same.

The drift toward the professions
which has long been obvious comes in
for exact measurement in the report of
the president of the Carnegie founda
ton. who furnishes compilation
showing population ratio of physicians,
clergymen aud lawyers in this country
by decades.
The total number of persons in these
professional classes has grown from
214,5OG in 1880 to 414,103 in 1910, but
still not much faster than the total
number of Inhabitants. If reduced TO
a ratio the Increase is only from AS
to each 100000 population in 1880 up
to 45O to each 100000 population In
1910.
For the physicians the proportion has
remained virtually uniform for thirty
years, and during the last two dec
AIDES the number of ministers has also
exhibited small variation. The num-
ber Of lawyers. on the other hand,
grew more RAPIDLY than the population
between 1850 ind 1900, yet during the
last decade increased only one-third as
fast. being ! per cent increase in the
number of lawyers against u per cent
of the entire population.
But these figures interesting and
suggestive aS they are, do not measure
the professional drift accurately be-
cause we have added many new pro-
fessions. such. for example, rs elec-
trical, sanitary and concrete construc-
ton engineers. charity workers and
survey experts. instructors in new lines

Women's Influence Good.

William Spry, governor of Utah, was
equally emphatic in stating that Votes
for Women was a success. Women
have voted in Utah since Statehood
was granted in 1896, and have always
red an influence for safeguarding
both the home and the State" he
said
Governor Hunt of Arizona said that
even the antis in his State were now
willing to admit that none of the
evils predicted by opponents of suf-
frage have appeared.
Governor Arthur Capper of Kansas
said:
Kansas gave her women school
suffrage and liked it. After which
she gave them municipal suffrage
and liked 1t better In 1912 she gave
them full suffrage and liked it best
Suffrage in Kansas has broadened
woman's views of social life. 1t has
centered her thoughts on home and
its needs and has given a new and
beneficial influence in the life of the
State. 1t has in no way detracted
from her womanliness or her charac-
ter, but has strengthened both. Kan
sas will never go back to a rule Of
all the people by a part of them"
The question as to whether women
really used the ballot after it was
granted them, won a laugh from Gov
ernor Dunno of Illinois. Look at the
way they voted in Chicago" he said.
more than a quarter of million of
them turned out at the last mayoralty
election there"
Suffrage States Wealthy.
The high per capita wealth of the
suffrage State was Governor Moses
Alexander's answer to the suggestion
that suffrage might have a bad effect
on public finances.
"The per capita wealth of all the
suffrage States,' he said, lis above
the average of those in which the
women do not vote"
Woman suffrage is a distinct as,
set to the State of Washington" said
Governor Earnest Lister. mo one,
except perhaps someone disgruntled
on account of its having interfered
with some pet scheme, has ever even
suggested that Washington was not
better for it,"
All of the governors from the suf-
frage States agreed that the men of
Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey
and Massachusetts would make no
mistake if they approved the suffrage
amendments at the polls or election
day.

You will often find very fussy men
