Office Etiquette That
Should Be Observed

Ha.inc peen asked what rs correct con-
duet in an offica between women and
men, il can be said in any piace-Iae
house of a friend, Office Or d public
ouildiEg-a man must wait Until ,he
woman speaks to him. THIS is one oI
the NOS, rigid avs OF etiquette, ard is
based upon common sense. as well as
consideration in effort TO protect Lac
woman. Ii Is always her privilege TO
Speah or not as sEe chooses, and man
of innate courtesy, even If he has not
been trained in such matters, recognizes
this ana waits for her to make the first
advance.
Therefore. in an office il is expected
that t5e strange woman Will be the
first 20 recognize her fellow workers,
and a mau who seeks 20 bring himself
10 ner notice is committing rudeness.
There is this, however, to be taken into
cons.deration--if the man Is much older
than the woman and is actuated by
sincere desire 10 help her in her new
position. lie may do So, and of course
would :hus make advances. 1t would be

Old Employees Should Help Strangers
Truth to tell old employees can do
much TO make the work of a stranger
easier and il is only a kindly act that
should be exercised. Every Office has
its routine to which all must be accus-
toned and one who is helped to grasp
them more quickly falls into the line of
work than if left alone to discover them.
Each employer has certain eccentricties
that stranger may be shown how TO
avoid; she may be made familiar with
the peculiarities of the work and be
saved many weary and discouraging
hour If she happens to be the only
woman in the office. obviously a man
must be the one to do this kindness for
her. and if he shoGs this wish in gen
tlemanly way she should meet his friend

not able to get ready for the spring
cleanup. While 1t was cold weather
the street railway postponed the work,
saying that the frost would be a detri-
ment to the completion and they were
allowed few more weeks. Now it is
warm weather and the city has been
unable to get them at the work. The
paving along this street is new and is
in danger as long as the street railway
allows it to be left unprotected from
the elements and the traffic-the in
side edges are only held solid with a
common plank and this condition has
existed for some time. Street Com
missioner Frank Snyder and City En-
gineer John Rogers said this morning
that they had received from ten to fif-
teen calls every day regarding this
matter and they were unable to do
anything at the present time. 1t is
rumored that the people will throw the
brick into the middle of the street I'M

ness for the spring freshets and the

does this little district will have their
water and fire protection in a very
short time. There are a few blocks
of houses thickly settled over in North
Topeka just west of the big Forbes
elevator west of the Rock Island
tracks where not a drop of water is
to be found. 1t is a mean place to
reach during a fire and is dangerous
as well. Not long ago while fighting
a little fire in this district a Rock
Island train cut the hose in two and
disabled the service for considerable
length of time. 1t takes practically
all of the hose in the No. 1 station to
reach the houses-they are across the
yards of the Rock Island and between
these tracks is large amount of
dead" land that should be taken up
by the city-in this manner making it
necessary for the city 10 pay for the
water mains under this territory. A
sharp wind from the right direction
with a good fire start would clean out
this four square blocks with ease.
There is a storm of complaints COM

East Sixth avenue because the Topeka
street railway does not relay the paw

Portland. Ore, April 3.-Although
Oregon turned down woman suffrage
at a popular election, and although
pulpit and press of the state are even
bitter in their denunciation of its prin-
ciples, yet Oregon was for time ruled
by woman, during the interregnum
between Governors Chamberlain and
Benson.
When Ex-Governor Chamberlain went
to Washington to be sworn in as
United States senator, the. executive Of
flee of Oregon was administered by a
woman, Mrs. c. B. Shelton, who was
the governors private secretary, and in
whom the governor says he has implicit
confidence.
Mrs. Shelton has been in Governor
Chamberlain's employ since 1895, when
she became stenographer in the Of
flee of the law firm Of which he was
member. Said the governor:
I'm the law office she was as useful
as a young lawyer would have been in
preparing papers and looking after Of

fee business. Since she has been with
me in Salem she has ably assisted my
private secretary in his work as well
as doing the stenographic duties. She
has been not only faithful in her work,
but tactful to a degree in meeting the
various sorts of people who have bust
ness with the executive"
Mrs. Shelton herself says in regard
to her new honors:
1T is my policy to treat everyone
with the same courtesy that has been
accorded visitors in the governors Of
flee heretofore. 1 do not intend to is
sue any pardOns. I should like, how
ever. to be instrumental in creating a
fund to aid discharged prisoners when
they are turned out of the penitentiary
after serving their terms. 1 shall try to
show that a woman can conduct the
affairs of Governors office as well as
a man can
Mrs. Shelton is short, dark, quick in
her moves, and with sparkling black
eyes. She has the esteem of all the
employees of the capitol.

According to City Treasurer NJ. M.
Hale, the school board costs for the
month of March amounted to $31,-
922.33. This is an immense amount of
money for the monthly output of
school funds. Not only this but there
were over $4,000 worth of old war
rants paid out during this month. The
roll of figures sent out by the adding
machine which was used for this
course measured 25 feet. This will
ures used for the purpose of figuring
out the monthly bills for the public
school system in Topeka.
Here is another astonishing thing
which very few people in the city
realize in connection with the hand
ling of the school board funds. The
city treasurer is made school board
treasurer and the only salary he re-
ceives for this mammoth task is $50
per Year-in addition to his regular
salary Fifty dollars year would
not pay for the headache tablets used
after a siege of school board affairs.
1t is a puzzle to the city officials what
the school board does with two or
three clerks and a stenographer at a
good fat salary and then kill an over
worked city treasurer with fifty dol
lars a year.
On being asked about the immense
amount of work on account of the
school funds Treasurer Hale said this
morning:
Yes. I will gladly admit that the
school funds create an immense
amount of extra work in the office. In
fact it is on account of this heavy ex-
ira work that I have been forced by
my health to refuse to run for re-
election. The school work is grad
ually growing every month-and the
handling of the city office is also be-
coming more difficult"
And still there was big fight for
the office of city treasurer.
Sidewalk petitions are continually
pouring into the office of the city
clerk and as fast as possible they are
brought before the council, referred to
the streets and walks committee,
recommended for final passage in

blocks of sidewalks petitioned for in

City Clerk Burge has received a COM
munication from the Topeka Independ-
ent Telephone company asking for a
final order from the city council on the
proposition of patching paving after
they have made excavations. 1t seems
that on Jackson street not long ago the
telephone company laid conduits and
after they finished the work they COW
cred up the hole and laid back the as
phalt blocks. Street Commissioner Sny-
der took exception to this. telling them
that it was necessary to patch with new
paving because when the blocks re-
ceive a little travel after having been
broken then shove forward with the
traffic and soon become dislodged or
make an ugly crevice in the pavement.
The telephone company objects to this
new paving idea very strenuously I'M
less there is an agreement of some for
NAL nature between the city and the
company making it necessary for the
company to relay the new paving. The
street commissioner said this morning
that he has told them in writing of the
plan they should follow after an exca-
walton and he could see nothing else
for them to do. The telephone compan-
les and the city will have to have a
long extended seance some of these
times for the purpose of settling a
number of differences which have been
coming up between them the last few
weeks. City officials with carriages and
autom obiles keep a pretty close watch
on the affairs of the city and>it is hard
to creep up on them without a know
ledge of some kind.

Telephone Company Falls Out
With the City.
Treasurer Hale and His School
Board Accounts.

The city's resolution to award the
asphaltic concrete paving to the Kaw
Paving company, local concern. is out
in the open sea now and without very
much protection. AS a result a severe
trade wind has blown up from Boston,
Mass. in the form of a threatening tel
egram from the Warren Brothers con-
Germ which reads as follows:
understand your city has awarded
contract for asphalt macadam under
specifications which infringe our pat
ents. We hereby warn you not to per-
nit such infringement and that We will
hold the city of Topeka liable therefor
if infringement is permitted"
This telegram was received by Mayor
Green late Friday afternoon. 1t means
that the city is going to have a hard
fight after all over the asphaltic ma
cadam proposition on College avenue
and Mulvane street-at least this warn
ing from the Warren Brothers of Boston
seems to point toward the city instead
of the paving company which solicited
the contract.
Mayor Green stated that he rather
feared the outcome of this matter from
it's present outlook. E. S. Quinton has
original concern which claims to hold
the patent and he is working on the
case night and day. The mayor does
not fear the outcome of the case
against the city because with the bond
presented by the paving company the
city cannot lose any money on the pro-
position-but there is a strong chance
of a big delay in the laying of the pave
ment-in fact it is practically assured
that nothing can be done until some sort
of a compromise is made.
From the situation today the asphalt
tic patent right matter is coming into
the Topeka port with war paint and
trained guns.
