ROAD ROLLER MOVES; FLINN TO THE RESCUE

"Strongarm Bill" Very Confident Over the Result of Big Pow Wow at the Chicago Convention.

(Continue! from Page One.) was asked, to which Senator Dixon answered, "It fs an open confession that Taft cannot win." Call Conference. The Roosevelt call for a hurry conference was made today. George W. Perkins, Walter Brown, state chairman of Ohio, William Flinn of Pennsylvania, Governor Stubbs of Kansas, and Givernor Hadley of Missouri, are some of those to whom cards were issued. Talk of Bolting. Talk of a bolt is still maintaining a prominent part in the convention gossip. The Tai't-men are seeing to it that it does not die down. Almost every -statement issued contains some reference to it, and the Taft men have begun a quiet canvas to find out how many delegates the colonel would take with him if he called his men out of the hall. The confident Taft men are confident a bolt will occur. They want to keep a big majority of the delegates however, at the Coliseum, and they are just a trifle frightened about a stampede should the bolt occur. Detectives Guard. A squad of plain clothes officers appeared at the Coliseum today to guard the national committee rooms. They were asked for when Captain New

heard a rumor that Bill Flinn had the orders of the colonel himself to come prepared for a fight.

WOMEN NOT FIGHTING MEN

Merely Urging the Appointment of Miss Hill to the School Board. Look Up Your Councilman, but First Find Out What Ward You Live In.

MORE FOR TAFT. (Bulletin.) Chicago, June 8. In the third district of Arkansas the contest was between R. F. Granger and J. F. Meyers for Taft, and Tom Williams and C. F. McAllister for Roosevelt. The Roosevelt side was presented by J. A. Comer. After the two sides had been presented, Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota, Roosevelt man, moved that Granger and Meyers be seated. The vote was unanimous. Still More Taft. In the fifth Arkansas district the first attempt of the Roosevelt men to secure a compromise was made. A motion that delegates from both sides be seated with the votes divided between them was made, and was voted down 10 to 41, The Taft men were then seated.

HOLLAND'S "LONG JOHN."

A Church Tower Capped With a Climax of Forty-one Belle. The 2S0 foot tower of the Nieue Kerk lu Middleburg, "Long John," or 'Lang Jan" if the sobriquet be translated Into Dutch, Is practically the Washington monument of Walcneren. It is capped with a climax of fortyone bells that chime a quaint fragment of some familiar popular melody every seven and one-half minutes. On the hour "Long John" literally vibrates from foundation to weather vane in a frenzied endeavor to pour forth In toto the accumulation of more or less music administered In small doses during the previous sixty minutes.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Here is a question for the women of the town. "Where are you at?" This is the elegant phrase of a congressional statesman. Perhaps more people than ever heretofore in the history of Richmond are inquiring in what ward they live and who their Councilman may be. This is on account of the propaganda on the part of the women of Richmond for representation on the school board. The writer has been asked, for the benefit of those who have no telephones or city directories at hand to define the limitations of the wards and name the councilman who is supposed to represent it. " There are eight wards in the city of Richmond. The first ward is that portion South of Main and east of the river which extends to and includes the west side of Seventh street. Councilman, Mr. Alphonse Weishaupt. The second ward all that portion North of Main and West of the river, extending to and including the west side of Eighth street to the Pennsylvania railroad. Councilman, Mr. Jesse J. Evans. Third ward, from East side of Eighth to west of Twelfth, north following the corporation line. Councilman, Mr. II. H. Englebert. Fourth ward, from East side of Seventh to west side of Twelfth, south

of Main.

Councilman, Mr. W. H. Bartel. Fifth ward, North of Main west side

of Twelfth east.

Councilman, Mr. Elmer King. Sixth ward, South of Main from

west side of Twelfth, east. Councilman, Henry C. Kauffman. Seventh ward, west of the river and

south of Pennsylvania railroad. Councilman, Frank L. Waidele. Eighth ward, west side of river and north of Pennsylvania railroad. Councilman, John T. Burdsall. The four councilmen at large are Mr. Matthew Von Pein, who lives in the First ward. Mr. Oscar Williams, in the Fifth. Mr. Harry Wessel, in the Sixth. Mr. J. E. Thatcher, in the Fourth. The recommendation of the women of the town who met on Thursday afternoon in the lecture-room of the Morri3Son-Reeves library was that every councilman be interviewed by the residents of his ward and asked for a definite statement of his "intentions." As stated here several times, in connection with this matter, councilmen are supposed to represent the sentiment in their respective wards and not exploit their own personal interests, predilections or prejudices. Several of the councilmen are unqualifiedly in favor of Miss Hill for the school board. One is quoted as stating that "this is not the time," that women have no place on school boards, nor any place

else save in the kitchen cooking and scrubbing for the men, while still others who agree that Miss Hill would be an ideal appointment and would have no objection to a woman on the Board state that they are pledged for other candidates. Why are they pledged? This is what the women and the

men in their wards want to find out of them. If, In instance, the councilman from the Sixth ward, say, is avowedly In favor of any one candidate, he should be asked if the prevailing sentiment in his ward has caused him to openly announce himself for that candidate. The time is rapidly approaching in every form of democratic government from the ward to the national when those sent as representatives will have to represent. It might be explained to those councilmen who are evidently unaware of the trend of the times that a great number of states give the women of the commonwealths the privilege of voting on school questions. That in the borderin? states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky women vote on school questions and many women are members of school boards. That in these instances women cast their votes direst, school boards being elected like other city officials. That, in addition, the state of Michigan has within the past six months given the women equal suffrage with men. And that Ohio is about to submit a similar proposition to the voters of the state when the new constitution is passed upon in the coming electtions. Also that six states in the Union Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado,

Washington and California have given the women full suffrage with the men. That in those states, during a period of years since the suffrage has been in the feminine possession, very few women have run for office. That women's votes have produced neither a revolution nor an evolution. The time is rapidly approaching when a great body of the educated and intelligent citizenship shall not have to sue for what are termed "privileges" which are really their native rights. And beg them of a few ignorant and inferior men who hold office by virtue of indifference and negligence on the part of the intelligent element of their own sex. Let the city of Richmond rub its eyes, prop itself on its elbows and take a panoramic view of what is going on in the world and no farther away than New Paris. It has been reiterated time and again that the women of Richmond are not opposing the candidacy of any man on the school board. Both Mr. Nusbaum and Mr. Jordan are highly regarded and considered fully adequate for service on the school board. Mr. Nusbaum's long service and pub- j lie spirit fit him for a position which

he has held acceptably for a number oi years. Not a woman in town is fighting either Mr. Nusbaum or Mr. Jordan. ;They are opposing no one. But they are urging the appointment of Miss Hill as eminently qualified for the position without regard to sex. The women of the city are practically unanimous for this. The school teachers of the town, the majority of whom are women, who are in charge of many of the buildings and do the herculean work of educating the youth of the town, are a unit for the appointment of Miss Hill. Since this body is chiefly affected by the operations of this board, certainly its maker should be considered. Attention has been pointed frequ

ently of late in this paper to the city

of Chicago, one of the great metropolises of the world, which has put its entire Bchool system in charge of a woman, Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, the superintendent , of the public schools of that city, who has also been the president of the National Educational Association. The appointment of Miss Hill would, therefore, cause no excitement in the outside world as a revolutionary proceeding which imperils the constitution and foundations of this country. It would only be putting this city on a level with the social progress of the times and cause her to be recognized as a sane and normal community. The women want Miss Hill on the School Board. A great many men want her there. All the school teachers want her. The question to put to your councilman therefore is "Sir, what Is your objection?"

Tasted the Sam. Five-year-old Gracie had been given a lecture by her father, who warned ber not to take gum that another had been chewing. She had been to the store that morning and had bought some gum. Her five-year-old playmate, Oscar, asked her for some while she was chewing it. She said, "No, my papa said that it is not right to take anything that has been in the mouth of another person." An hour later Oscar was given a penny by his mother. He bought some candy. While eating it Gracie sidled up to him and, being very fond of candy, asked in a playful tone.

"Oscar, how does your candy taste?'

Like a flash Oscar replied in a victor! ous tone, "The same as your gam did." Boston Record.

SickMMd mf tha Scalp!. An extraordinary event led Lassone. rhysieian to Ixuis XVI. of France, to abandon his anatomical studies. While selecting from among some dead bodies a suitable subject for dissection be imagined that one of them showed doubtful signs of death and sought to revive a life which was perhaps not extinguished. His efforts were crowded with success. lie cured the man and as be was poor nourished and supported him. but the idea of hawing been on the point of committing a crime so affected Lassone that he felt himself unable to pursue his acvustomed labors, and from that time forward he studied natural history and chemistry in place of anatomy.

Jwat a Ramiftdar. A little boy who had reached the age when boys feel that a watch is the one thing that makes life worth living was told that for the present a watch could not be given him. Bat Edward continued to tease for one until tha whole family was wearied. Then his father, after explaining that ha should certainly have a watch when he was older, forbade him to mention the subject again. The next Sunday the children, as was their custom, repeated Bible Terses at the breakfast table. When it was Edward's turn he astonished them all by saying: M "What I say unto you, I say onto all: Watchr' Youth's Companion.

Mothers-in-law In Djeksns' Tims. Nowadays it is regarded as utterly incorrect to speak of a stepmother as a "mother-in-law." But anybody who does can plead plenty of literary authority. "Mother-in-law" was good English in this sense as well as the other in 1510, and both Fielding and Thackeray have it. "Father-in-law" Is used by Shakespeare both for a wife's father and for a stepfather, and in this sense it can be quoted from Dickens and George Eliot But the general agreement in modern times to stick to "stepmother" is a wise avoidance of confusion.

Unwilling Police. Civilian policemen were the only ones possessed by Glasgow at one time. In the eighteenth century, according to H. G. Graham, "the whole safety and order of Glasgow were intrusted to the unpaid and reluctant burghers. Every citizen who was between the years of eighteen and sixty and paid a yearly rent amounting to 3 had to take his turn at guarding the city. On touch of drum the gentleman was at his post by 10 at night and strolled with weary tread and yawning gait along the Trongate and High street and up the pitch dark lanes of winter nights till 4 in the morning. After that hour the city was without a police." London Chronicle.

From "Long John" one can see plainly. the towns on the north and west j coasts of Walcheren. and often even l

the spires of Antwerp are visible, while directly below a mass of red roofs, punctured here and there with patches of trees, stretches Middleburg. To the left is the market place, bounded on the north by the handsome town hall, begun in the sixteenth century, the embellishment of whose facade by twenty-five ancient statues of the counts and countesses of Holland, helps It to hold its place as one of the finest and most interesting late Gothic edifices in the Netherlands. The tower of the town hall has a chime, too, and each time after "Long John" so Insistently proclaims the hour of the day or night for "Long John" takes the credit of giving standard time to Middleburg it must get a bit on his nerves to have "Foolish Betsy". ("Gekke Betje"). up In the town hall tower, rattle off her cacophonous contradiction a minute or two earlier or later, as the ease may be. Travel Magazine.

Queer Bread. Along the Columbia river bread is made from a kind of moss that grows on a species of flr trees. After being dried it is sprinkled with water, allowed to ferment, rolled into balls as big as a man's head and baked in pits, with the help of hot stones. Travelers who have tasted It say that it is by no means unpalatable. The Californian Indians collect the pollen of cattails in largo quantities by beating it off the plants and catching it on blankets. They make bread of It. But as a delicacy they prefer bread of grasshopper flour.
