NOTES ABOUT WOMEN.

Colorado and Wyoming have women
filling the Office of state superintendent
Of public instruction.
In Boston, where women vote on
school questions, there is seat for every
child and full time instruction.
Colorado has elected ten women to
her state legislature since 1895. Idaho
has had three women in the house of rep
resentatives, and Utah one woman in
the senate and three in the house.
When member of the Colorado legis-
lature, Miss Evangeline Hearth secured
the passage of the Frog Blocking Bill''
for the protection of railroad employees.
For this she was rewarded with card
engrossed with 1.-THE Thanks of 5000
Railroad Men"
Miss Ella Meredith, of Colorado, in re-
ply to the question whether women in
her state neglected their homes to seek
for political offices, said: They do not
any more than they neglect: their homes
to seek Office in club or church societies.
Sometimes they take Office to earn bread
for those dependent upon them. More
women neglect their homes and children
to play cards and attend social tunc-
tions than to do political work. !"

Letter Made Public

Washington, Oct. 29.-By direction of
the president, Secretary Loeb Friday
sent to James N. Tyner, the former as
sistant attorney general for the post
office department, a letter in reply to
Mr.. Tyner's letter dated October 8, and
made public Thursday night The let
ter says that as the question of Mr..
Tyner's guilt on the criminal charge on
which he was tried has been passed upon
by jury, the president acquiesces in
the jury's finding, but the evidence
seems to him overwhelming that you
(Mr. Tyner) were guilty, either of moral
obliquity in performance of duty, or of
the grossest ineficiency."

1t is obvious that the Sunday school,
with its definite moral purpose and it's
grip upon practically the entire juye
nile population, is mighty factor in
the building of the national character
and SO worthy of the serious attention
of all thoughtful persons. Within its
walls are fixed ideals, which later are
wrought out in the events of com
merce, politics, science and the fin
arts. Therefore the development OF
the Sunday school is a matter which
concerns not merely the thousands
who are actively engaged in it's serv-
ice, but also the wide public. ". ~

American life and business organiza-

ment AS a general thing there is a
disposition among the more affiuent
to restrain artificial tendencies and
morbid excuses in business and do
nestle affairs that is natural and will

latter, in order to soothe their dissatis-
fed stomachs, go off and fill up on
beer and whiskey. Now Chicago leci
