THE NATION’S BREADWINNERS.
At the Thirteenth census (1910)
there were 38,756,223 persons ten
years of -age and over engaged in
gainful occupations in the United
States, including Alaska, Hawaii,
Porto Rico, and the military and na
val stations abroad. The gainful
workers thus formed 41.5 per cent,
of the total population (93,402,151)
enumerated at that census. These
figures are contained in a report on
occupations which has just been pub
lished by Director William J. Harris,
of the Bureau of the Census, Depart
ment of Commerce.
In the total population of the Unit
ed States, over two-fifths of all per
sons, considerably over three-fifths of
all males, but considerably less than
one-fifth of all 'emales, were engaged
in gainful occupations in 1910; and
in the population ten years of age
and over, more than one-half of all
persons, over four-fifths of the males,
but less than one-fourth of the fe
males, were gainfully occupied. In
other words, of all persons ten years
of age and over, in 1910, more than
every other one had a gainful occu
pation; of the males, over four out
of five were gainful workers, and of
the females, almost one out of four
was a gainful worker.
Practically one-third (33.2 per cent.)
of all gainful workers in the United
Stales in 1910 were engaged in ag
riculture, forestry, and animal hus
bandry, and considerably more than
one-fourth (27.9 per cent.) were en
gaged in manufacturing and mechan
ical industries. Thus over three
iifths of all gainful workers were oc
cupied in these two general divisions
of occupations. The remaining two
lifths of the workers were distribut
ed among the other seven large class
es of occupations, namely, extraction
of minerals, transportation, trade,
public service, and clerical occupa
tions no class furnishing employment

to as many as ten per cent, of all
gainful workers.
,The figures show that in 1910 do
mestic and personal service was the
only general d'vision of occupations
in which the women outnumbered the
men, there being in this general di
vision more than two women em
ployed to each man. In professional
service there were four women em
ployed for every five men, a large
proportion of the women being teach
ers. In clerical occupations one-third
of the persons were women; in
manufacturing and mechanical in
dustries women constituted one in
six; in agriculture, forestry, and
animal husbandry, one in seven; and
in trade one in eight of the gainful
workers. Women constituted only
four per cent, of the persons engag
ed in transportation, three per cent,
of those engaged in public service,
and !one-tenth off one per cent. of.
those engaged in the extraction of
minerals. '
THE^SUPREME COURT VACANCY
The death of Mr. Justice Lurton
of the Supreme Court of the United
States places a heavy responsibility
upon President Wilson in the selec
tion of a successor, at a time when
important problems, growing out of
the new legislation of the present
congress, will be pressing for early
and wise consideration and decision.
The present court has established
a record for industry and high ser
vice. For the first time in a gener
ation the court has its' docket well
cleaned up and is in position to give
prompt consideration to cases be
fore it. The court has worked in
perfect harmony and its more im
portant decisions have been practi
cally unanimous.
Authoritative announcement is
made from Washington that Presi
dent Wilson will not consider form
er President Taft for a pos'tion on
the bench. It is stated that Attor
ney General McReynolds, Secretary
of War Garrison, Solicitor General
Davis, former Solicitor General Fred
erick W. Lehman and Secretary Lane
are among those being considered by
the president for the high office.
Strenuous opposition would be of
fered to the elevation of Attorney
General McReynolds to the position,
as his attitude on some of the im
portant issues before the people, par
ticularly in the method of dealing
with the trus*s, has not met with pop
ular indorsement. So far as develop
ed, there is no such opposition, nor
opposition of any kind, to the other
names suggested. It is intimated
that the president will not make an
appointment for several months, as
the court will not be in session again
until October. This will give the
president opportunity to make a full
Investigation, of tbe qualifications of
the various men under consideration,
to the end that the appointmen*,
when made, will be of a jurist who
will contribute to the present high
standard of *he court.—Ex.
Alba B. Johnson, president of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, in tes
tifying before the United States Com
mission on Industrial Relations, said:
“Large industries are hard pressed
to find men capable of faking re
sponsible positions. X know of half
a dozen businesses that would be glad
to pay $10,000 a year to capable
men.” The complaint is becoming
a common one. It raises a question
whether American men are decid
ing in executive ability or whether
modern business ambitions, by ex
tending operations over wider field.?
and adopting more complex methods,
have not become too cumbersome in
some respects and too confusing in
others for any class of men to con
duct successfully.
Former Senator Paynter, of Ken
tucky, who was on the committee
that gave -William Lorimer a cout
of whitewash in his first investiga
tion, had explained how his notes
for $40,000 came to be in the Loti
mer bank when the smash came.
Practically everything in connection
with Lorimerts political and business
activities seems to need explanation.
