Root Accepts Challenge.

pared speech by saying:
M Hartman. ] believe. in his speech
tonight would have US give more power
to the railroads. The experience I gain
cd from a knowledge Of railroad business
in the State of Missouri at a time when
the railroads were competing for business
led me TO believe that the best means
OF regulating traffic and railway affairs
is through the railways themselves

law would be one that would force the
railroads to combine in keeping the law

from breaking the law. ! repeat that

should be supplemented by governmental
control. such that would prevent them
from doing wrong.
1T is doubtless the case that a rail-
way by special compensation or special
rates can hope 20 build UP bigger and
better business. Nevertheless. science Of
government always gives a chance The

him.
No one questions the competency OF the
clerk. who Is also one OF the most es-

shown that the court must be maintained

ELECTRICAL WORK FOR WOMEN

They Can Make Lamps, Handle Tres

The electrical industry Is one that
Is usually associated with mel work
crs unless trouble Is taken to inVrsti-
gate a large manufacturing establish
ment In which electrical apparatus and
equipment are constructed. and then 1t
is surprising to find that numbers Of
women are engaged In this work, says
the Baltimore American. There seems
to be no special reason why his branch
of industry should always be consider
ed essentially mems work. and yet most
people would as readily associate wom-
en- with boiler-plate factories as with
electrical works,
On the contrary, In some departments
of this industry, the making of lamps,
for instance, a large part Of the actual
work is lone Ivy women employees. One
reason for this is that SO long as 1t is
possible for women to do this work,
and as they will do II for much less
than the men. II Is a foregone conclu-
| sIen that they will be employed in large
numbers Another and probably quite
as good q reason is that much of the
work consists In handling and adjust
