SHELTER TRUST MAeNATEs VERY MUCH
AFRAID ROOSEVELT WILL BECOME KING

The consequences of so great a de-
parture from American and repub-
lican traditions are too great and
far reaching to be estimated.
This may seem a revolutionary
sort of tale for business man, but
look at the changes in the ordinary
customs of life at the White House
within the past years. They show
a very great and pronounced ten
dency to form our morals on the
style which prevails in European
courts.
"At the White House there seems
to be rapidly growing tendency to
make the social life more and more
like royal court. The White
House, as they are now running 1t,
is a kind Of halfway house to the
real swim of London society.
President Roosevelt has a large
following who hold royalist social
tendencies and views. l do not
mean that the president ever thinks
for a moment Of aiming at royalty
for himself or of establishing a sys-
tenn of monarchy in the United
States. Still I do ascribe to him q
desire for the state of monarchical
dignity; for surroundings like those
of royal court"

AGED
BUT ABLE +

CONCORD, N. H., Aug. 22.-The
Christian Scientists have given out
a statement by DR.. Hamilton, of
New York, an alienist who appear
ed in the Thaw trial, declaring that
Mrs. Eddy is an "aged woman, of
delicate constitution, but with no
visible symptoms of insanity or
nervous disease.
MRS. Eddy was fully competent
to answer my questions and sus-
tanned bright conversation for a
long period. Slight deafness is her
only trouble"
Hamilton is known as an ener-
getic opponent of Christian Science.
Counsel for the compliments in
the Eddy suit announced that there
were many reasons for withdrawing
the case, but the principal one was
the appropriateness OF any imme-
diate result of a decision in our
favor upon the exact issue as now
framed, compored with the burdens
and disadvantages to be entered by
us before and after such decisions"

Heinickle, can easily and rapidly be
transported from place to place.
The transmitting apparatus and
the receiving apparatus are both
contained in 1 small case, which

A complete wireless telegraphy

Four or men are able to erect

total cost of station is 81 800. The
radius of communication of a sta
ton of this size is about 25 miles.
The German military authorities
are keenly interest in Herr
Heinicke's invention. The port

now in use in the German army is
so much larger and heavier that
IL men are required to carry its
complete parts, while its cost ex-
ceeds $4,000.

LOOK OUT FOR These
MONEY ORDERS

SEATTLE, Aug. 22.-The public
is warned to beware of a clever
swindler who is forging postoffice
money orders. Any postoffice order
between the numbers 35,033 and
1920 is valueless.
A few days ago blank orders were
stolen from station A, Seattle. The
aim Of the thief is to fill out the
blanks, using the names of prom
inen.t persons, and have them cash.
ed at stores and other public places
Several have been cashed in this
city, but the thieves will no doubt
operate in other Sound cities.
1t is suggested that should any
order be offered for sale bearing a
number between 33,033 and 35,200
the postmaster, sheriff or chief OF
police at once be notified.

FOR
AUTO OWNERS

The spectacular police depart
ment campaign against auto scorch-
ing came to an inglorious end this
morning after month of activity.
Justice Hinkle dismissed the
capitalists and professional men
who were arrested for exceeding
the speed limits in automobiles on
the grounds that there was no evil
dence to show that the owners were
driving them when it is alleged the
machines Travelled too fast Fol-
lowing are those who were ar
rested:
P. Welsh, DR.. E. d. Olmsted, NJ.
Oppenheimer, DR., E. Richter, Fred
Flint, A. Stilson, Dr. {. P. Thomas,
Arthur d. Jones.
Whether it was their hired
drivers or somebody that borrowed
the machines that violated-and
are therefore responsible - the
speed laws is left unsettled.

Press on the hard life of the
telegrapher.
all this? At the branch Offices in
our company operators are usually
started in at $25 a month.
The highest salary paid to any
woman in the main Office is little
more than $40. But very, very few
get that much.
to exceed that salary is to work a
bonus wire. On such wire each
message over 300 is worth l cent
to the operator, but it is killing
work.
The ordinary operator handles
from 200 to $50 messages a day.
/ know a woman who worked for
the Western Union for 10 years.
She commenced at a salary of $25
a month, doing both telegraphing
and soliciting. Finally, through the
intercession of customers who liked
her, she was raised to $40 month,
but that was as much as she ever
received.
| have seen women who were
handling the same amount of work
as men paid $50 to $50 month,
while the men received from $50
to 500.
Is it any wonder that we are
standing by the men in this strike
in their demand for better wages
and improved working conditions

TACOMA BANDIT R0BS
IN DAYLIGHT

TACOMA, Aug. Recovering his
victims with revolver and hiding
his face behind a mask of white
cloth, lone highwayman about 5
o'clock yesterday morning held up
p. S. Peterson, Northern Pacific
passenger brakeman, but secured
nothing from him.
A few minutes later Gus Czahi,
vegetable peddler, was halted and
to the command of throw up your

tended to use for the purchase of
his days CARLOAD of vegetables and

move, never daring to turn your
head away, with your weary eyes
fixed constantly on the tiny blue
sparks in front of you.
Hour after hour goes by, yet you
sit, well nigh motionless, for to
lose track of those little sparks
means mistake in a message
and if there is a mistake in a mes
sage, although the public may not
know 1t, the operator who is re-
sponsible for it must pay for it if
there is any complaint from the
patron.
This is the tension under which
the men, as well as the women,
work hour by hour, day by day.
There are exceptions, but as a
general rule, when once an opera
tor sits down to the desk in the
morning he or she cannot leave it
for any excuse whatever without
calling for relief.
She must eat her cold lunch with
hand and drink her COTE while
she clicks away at the key with
the other.
There. all day long, no matter
how hard the strain may be, no
matter what the state of her health
may be, no matter how Earring the
sounds may be at any time-there,
almost as immovable as a craven
image, she sits and tolls away.
Operators must buy their own
typewriters, keep them in repair
and pay for all errors.

FOR SWIPlNG ERMELONS

Special Endershot, of the North
ern Pacific railroad, late yesterday
arrested Floyd Cole and c. A.
Sutherland, helpers at the round
house, on a charge of stealing
watermelons. The prisoners claim
that others were taking them from
a car which had 2 boards broken
off. They were caught in the act.
The car was sealed, but as the 2
had nothing to do with breaking
in, the charge is merely petit lar
ceny instead of burglary.
