James Boyd marked his seventieth birthday and fortieth anniversary as a broker on the New York Stock Exchange last week. He helped originate the term Satan tail for currency and was a major dealer in gold and paper money during the war. His Chicago bank James Boyd & Brothers at 34 Clark Street served as a financial news hub, supplying telegrams to local papers that lacked a New York market service. He later focused on the NYSE, becoming a leading figure before practically retiring around age 70. Boyd also facilitated Jay Gould’s early stock purchases on the Exchange.

The piece discusses language policy in the Philippines under Taft’s code. It notes initial aims to make Spanish the court language for five years, but amendments allow both Spanish and English in proceedings with records kept in both. It argues government language should appear in records, while forecasting a gradual shift influenced by gender and time. It observes many dialects existed, with Spanish not universal among natives, yet in government districts it became the language of the people and a strong candidate for official communication.
