How People Get Into Debt.

Efforts are being made in good
many places TO observe National Pay

not affect the many people whose
good CHI er is not dampened by the
storm of duns coming in the first Of
each month. But there are many
other dlatory persons who should
have sense enough to see the folly of
running behind-hand. Such may be
induced by agitation of the subject to
strive for better business habits.
1t is surprising how comforta lie
some people are in the presence of
a heavy burden of debt. They take
the easy going view that some favor
able turn Of fortune will appear from
unexpected sources. They let the
creditors do all the worrying. But
to people with normal minds, debt
brings a sense OF oppression and Of

PAST VIEWS ON LABOR

In the days when Wilson wanted
when he was not dreaming of get
ting into politics or Office, he held
entirely different views even about
labor In those days he was quite
Cutspoken autocrat, as he is an auto
crat on the other side now. Wilson is
playing the game the same as other
politicians and he has been able to
make many forget the views that he
held when he was political "vir-
gin
In contrast with some of his
modern professions they have
brought forth some of his past ut
terances on labor and Labor Leaders
and on foreigners. In his His
tory of the American People, which
is still a good seller. he wrote. con-
corning the opposition to Chinese la
Dor. "The Chinese were more to be
desired as workmen if not as citi-
zeng than most Of the coarse crew
that came crowding in every,year at
the eastern ports, ;aa> n
THE coarse crew" were the i'm
migrants who were then coming
from Europe.
AS recently as 1903, on the third
of June in an address. to the gradual
ing class of Princeton, of which he
was then president, he said
You know what the usual stan

The Lack of Male StenOgraphers.

| The government seems TO have
difficulty in securing male steno-
graphers \ recent circular states
that nearly POO aspointments are
soon to be made. To get them, ex
aminations will have To be held all
over the country Sept. u and 20.
But while applicants for other civil
service appointments are sleeping on
the doorsteps of their congressman,
no rush of candidates for this posi-
ton is expected. What has become .,
the male stenographer?
Newspaper reporters are asked al
most every day il they are familiar
with ahorthand This is because the
public conceives OF reporter as.
spending much OF his time in taking
down long reports of speeches. In
actual practice the reporter soon
finds that. he can get down in long
hand four times as much as his paper
will print Few men in this business
ever find IL worth their while to ac-
quire stenogcaphy.
Probably the government, like
private enterprises, will have to de-
pend more and more on women for
stenography. The limitations that
custom still throws about women's
work makes this field peculiarly
popular. There are many capable
girls who would like to plunge into
the heart of business in overalls
and jumpers like their brothers. But
society would be shocked. They are
not yet ready TO defy Society.
So the girls will undoubtedly mon
opolize this field or nearly so. They
will crowd it too full, thus keeping
down the rates Of payment. This
drives out of the business the men
who ever expect to support a family.
No wonder that Uncle Sam must ran
sack the country to find his 200 ex-
pert shorthand men.
