fold. and too much space would be con-
sumed In enumerating them.
The amendment proposing salary OF
$4,000 for the secretary is a good one. The
secretary should be well paid as he has
an important and large duty to perform,
and travelling men should not ask him to
work for less than Is paid those who oc-

The amendment to section 3 OF article 3
does not appear good one. Why should
riding bicycle be more hazardous than
riding on train? In States where good
roads obtain many travelling men make
overland trips on the wheel. They find 1t
pleasant, they get good exercise and the
hazard is not at all great This appears
to be foolish.
AS to admitting women, the question
| needs consideration. Accident insurance
companies do not ACCEPT risks on women
readily, as 1t is not always the case that
woman is bread Garner. There are
| however. those of the female sex on the
| road. One objection. however. is that COM
plications which present themselves in
pretended injuries. which can not be set
aside as womans sex protects her to
certain extent from rigid investigation
OF claims for injuries. The railroads find
this hard to overcome In suits for damages
on account of personal injuries. and
should an INSCRIPTIONS woman happen in
an accident. she could collect an indem-

apt to bruise and abrasion. where the

and jars In passing upon this the Ma
tional convention should take into consid-
GRAFTON the hazard. Remember that in ad-
uniting women to the association there Is
something also beside extending tho mem
bership of tho order: there is an indem-
nifty to pay should the member be injured
or killed. and the interests of the order de-
