Hot Stuffin New York,

Not only in this Indiana town, hut
in larger centers, the women We're ac-
tive in the campaigns. In New York
their earnest work on behalf of Je-
rome, reform candidate for reelection
as District Attorney, has called out
the admiration of even that opponent
of womun's activity in municipal af-
fairs, the Boston Herald, which says
editorially:
Bless the women! How they are work
ing for Jerome and against the bosses,
with their automobiles following M pub-
lie meetings and street paradeS distribut-
ing bushels of Jerome litcrature their
armies Of picked ncwsboys dealing out
hot stur at the subway and elevated sta
tions during the rush hours; their night
professions Of autos with stcreopticons
throwing upon big sheets the split ticket
to teach the masses how to use it; their
volunteer bands of watchers upon lodging
houses and tencmcnts to prevent the col
onizatioU Of nuutcrs. Bless the women
municipal lcaguerS and clubbers and sweet
Rainy Daisies, They are givin" the men
folks very practical lessons in election
ccring. and demonstrating their capacity
and genius for systematic and effective
political work which must rejoice Justice

The National anthem.

Army regulations have been amend
ed so as to prescribe honor for the
United States colors as follows:
whenever The Star Spangled
Banner is played by the band on
formal occasion at military station,
or at any place where persons belong
ing to the military service are present
in their official capacity, all officers
and enlisted men present will stand
at attention, and if not in ranks will
render the prescribed salute, the posi-
ton of the salute being con-
tinued until the last note of The Star
Spangled Banner The same respect
will be observed toward the national
air of any other country when it is
played as a compliment to official rep
resentatives of such country. When
ever The Star Spangled Banner is
played as contemplated by this para
once without the repetition of any
part, except such repetition as is
called for by the musical score.
AT every military post or station
the flag will be hoisted at the sound
ing of the first note of the reveille, or
of the first note Of the march, If a
march be played before the reveille.
The flag will be lowered at the sound
ing of the last note of the retreat, and
while the flag is being lowered the
band will play The Star Spangled
Banner or. if there be no band pres
ent, the field music will sound To
the Color When TO the Color is
sounded by the field music while the
flag is being lowered the same respect
will be observed as when The Star
| Spangled Banner is played by the
band The national flag shall be dis
lplayed at sea coast or lake fort at the
commencement of an action and dur
| ing a battle in which the fort may be
engaged, whether by day or at night.

we are bound hand and foot. but for

SAID Mrs. g, A. knollenberg, of Rich
mond, Indiana. A bitter fight was on
for the election of Mayor of that city.
The present incumbent, whose private
and pubic life is obnoxious to the
better element of the town, was up for
recollection, For eight years the poll
tical machine had backed the Mayor,
mere tool in the hands of unscrupu-
lous leaders. The forces of good gov
ernmeht seemed on the very verge of
deIeat, when the women arose in their
might, Twelve hundred strong, demand
ing that their little city be controlled
by men OF clean character-that good
instead of evil, honesty instead of
graft. decency instead Of indecency
be the watchwords.
1hey held great mass meeting and
made stirring speeches. 1t was not a
question Of politics; it was the moral
sentiment of the community speaking
through its wives and mothers. And
it was effective. The Mayor went
down to defeat. Said leading paper
"Ihe women of Richmond made the
result possible. The tide began tc

FOR JOINT STATEHOOD
Oklahoma and Indian Territory Con-
vention Passes Strong Resolution.

Oklahoma City, July f5.-After the
evening recess. of the joint statehood
convention the committee on resolutions
announced that its report was ready,
signed by every member of the commit
tee. The reading of the report was fire.
quently interrupted by applause, partic-
ularly the reference in the preamble to
the desire that Oklahoma and Indian
Territory be disconnected from any con-
greSSional action relating to New Mexi-
CO and Arizona, which was a. demon
stration of disapproval of this feature
of the bill in the last congress known
as the Hamilton bill.
The resolution follows:
I'VE, the one thousand delegates rep
reSenting the million and a half Aneri-
can citizens who reside in Oklahoma.
and Indian Territory, do hereby declare
tories are entitled to and of right ought
to be admitted into the American union
as one free and important state, on
terms of equality as between them
selves, and on an equal footing with
the other states We have but one petit
ton and one request to present to the
American congress and that is in1med-
late joint sta tehood be granted to Ok
lahoma and Indian territories, on their
own merits, and without reference to
any right or claim of other territories
seeking admission to the American
union.'
The resolution was adopted without
a dissenting vote amid great enthusiasm
and almost Immediately motion was
made and carried to adjourn.

Chicago as a summer Resort.

Chicago, July ia new depar-
ture has been taken by the passenger
department of the Rock Island road
Instead of bending its efforts to divert
summer excursionists away from Chi
cago to various resorts throughout the
west, it has entered upon a campaign
west and northwest to come to Chi
cago and spend their summer vacation
here. AS a means of attaining this
end, it has prepared a special folder
exploiting Chicago as an ideal sum-
mer resort. This folder sets forth
fully and attractively the merits of
the great western metropolis, viewed
from the standpoint of the summer
excursionist. Should it prove effective
in accomplishing the purpose for
which it was issued, the number of
months will be largely increased.

no cool Passenger Cars.

Las Vegas, July 13.-Soon 1t will be
more comfortable to travel than to
stay at home. The demand for lux
uries on the modern through trains
has taxed the ingenuity of train build
ers, while the fierce competition for
passenger business between rival roads
has compelled managers to install
every accessory to the comfort of the
travellers as rapidly as it is perfected.
An engineer of the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern has perfected a
novel apparatus, with which the road
is now making practical tests. 1t is
intended to cool the air in the train
and at the same time to rid it of dust
and other impurities. The application
of the steam heating device has al
ready guaranteed warm temperature
in winter. The new cooling apparatus
consists of a sort of huge atomizer, so
constructed that at stated intervals
gusts of moist air, coming directly
from a freezing plant, will be blown
through the cars. The method is con-
sidered superior to the electric fan,
which merely stirs the dust laden and
vitiated air.

have had difficulty in gaining admission
to this country because of the many
fraudulent certificates issued to them
and to coolies who are not entitled to
the entire matter thoroughly, the con-
ference being perfectly satisfactory to
US.
1.-THE president suggested that in the
course of five or six months we again
bring the matter to his attention in the
light of the experience of that length of
time in working under the order.
I" He added: Any officer of the United
States who issued a false certificate
would lose his head the instant his mis-
conduct was discovered.
I'VE also considered with the presi-
dent the eight hour law and the diff
culties which we had encountered in Sc
curing it's enforcement on government
works We instanced violation of law
and requested him to consider them. He
asked us to present the facts in for
NAL document, he refusing to take up
the subject at once. Meantime he ex-
pressed himself as being in entire SYM
patIly with the law and insisted that it
must be observed. We pointed out to
him that officers of the war department
work is done, were not inclined to insist
,Inon an observance of the law and
many of them had declined to regard it
as their duty to bring suit to compel it's
enforcement. The president agreed with
us that the government officers ought
to see to it that the eight hour law was
"Our talk with the president was most
satisfactory. We discussed generally
the condition and interest of labor, con-
sidered the subject OF more rigid regu-
lations for the exclusion of the coolies
and vicious immigrants and talked of
some legislation along these lines which
we regarded as desirable
