but had done little damage. The fact
that telegraphic communication with
the capital had been interrupted was
PUT down as due to the earth tremor.
There were no fears for the safety of

the details reached San Jose, every

were dispatched to the scene Police

He appeared the other day before
the House Committee on Interstate

as the private locker room for visit

The second floor is taken up by
the large gallery running track and
the mems club rooms. The cork

way. The evangelist himself, car

ton, invoked them to continue, and
at the end Of the service was accom-

enthusiastic converts, where there
was another demonstration.
It is estimated that over 5000
people, anxious to see and hear the
evangelist, were turned away from

At the conclusion it was announ-

NEW CARLETON
GYMNASIUM.
One of the Largest and Most
Complete College Gyms
Dedicated Lately.

On Wednesday, Jan. 18th, 1910,
there occurred at Carleton College
the dedication of the new Sayles-
Hill Gymnasium. This day will go
down as red letter day in the ath-
letic annals of Carleton. There has
long been need for better training
facilities for Carleton athletic teams
and when it was announced last
year that thru the generosity of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred B. Hill the long de-
sired new gymnasium was to become
a reality the joy of the student body
knew no bounds.
The Sayles-Hill gymnasium is one
of the largest and best equipped
gyms in the Northwest today. Ger
tainly none Of the smaller colleges
can boast of one that compares with
it either in size or eqipment. The
cost of the building has been about
S57, 100. To this is added some
$500 for equipment and about
ST. 900 more apparatus is to be added
in the near future. This makes a
total cost of 500, 700. 1t is practic-
ally freproof building built of red
sand mould brick and trimmed
with Bedford limestone. 1t is 173
feet long and So feet in width. It's
two stories high with a light airy
basement underneath the whole
building. It faces the campus and
is entered from a portico of high,
massive Corinthian columns. Altho
utility has in no way been sacrificed
to beauty the building would be a
big addition to any campus.
The first floor is taken up largely
BY the big gym floor, 6Ox125 feet.
Around the walls of this big room is
arranged complete equipment Of
all kinds of apparatus for gymna-
SUM work. The floor is marked off
into a large court for inter-collegi-

ate basket ball, two smaller courts
for practicing the game, and full
size indoor baseball diamond. On
the first floor there are also smaller
rooms: cloak room, suite Of
rooms and an office for the physical
director and the janitor's room.
In the basement we find every
convenience that could be wished for
in thoroly up-to-date gymnasium.
There is a big airy locker-room con-
tanning $50 steel lockers. 1t is not
often that so much room is devoted
to lockers, in fact generally the Gus
tom is to crowd the lockers as close
together as possible, but this room
could easily contain twice as many
lockers and still not be crowded as
the locker-room of the average gym
nasium. Opening off the locker
room is the shower room containing
the best needle point shower baths
with an abundance of hot and cold
water. From the showers one en-
tiers the swimming pool. one Of the
finest features of the building. 1t is
25x60 feet, lined with white enamel
brick and varys in depth from four
feet to over nine in the deepest part.
The pool room is so connected that
the fellows can run from under a
steaming shower and dive off the
end Of the spring board into the
cool depths of the pool. Needless to
say this is one Of the most popular
rooms in the entire building and is
generally filled with a splashing, roll
licking crowd. Separated from the
swimming pool by a passage-Way

Miss Elsie Williams. Minneapolis
lawyer lady, is at the head of a
movement for asking both the Re-
publican and Democratic state con-
ventions to favor the submission of
an amendment to the constitution
covering the question of allowing
women the unlimited right to vote
in this state. Few men deny the
right of Womankind to vote if they
so desire, but unless she exercises
her right more generally than she
does in school elections, it will not
be evident that women generally
want to exercise the right to vote
any more than the right to military
or jury service. What this
paper would like to see. as a step
forward. would be the granting Of
municipal suffrage to womankind,
giving her an equal chance in cleo
tions affecting home life and condi-
tions. Women will vote in school
elections if convinced that things are
not going as they should without
their votes, as has been repeatedly
demonstrated, and the same would
apply in our municipal elections,
where moral and social problems are
frequently raised for solution.
Whenever the home was threatened
our women folks would vote if they
had the chance. and always vote
right.

CRANE TO OPEN THE CAMPAIGN.
His Trip West to Unite Party fol
Taft.

Washington, Aug. President Taft's
decision to send Senator Crane on the
western political trip is regarded by pol
iticians as the most important political
movement Of the season, or, in fact,
made by Che Taft administration.
Whether rightly or not, Washington is
inclined to believe that the Crane jour
lney marks definite step toward the re-
nomination Of President Taft
The Ohio Republican convention has
declared expressly for Mt. Taft's re-
nomination, and the leaders recognize
that unless harmonious program is
marked out now and arrangements are
made IN advance to head of more radical
candidates and issues, the party will be
confronted two years from now with a
split which will promise badly for its
success at the polls
The notion that President Taft has
deliberately set in motion machinery for
his own denomination IS inconsistent
with his record 50 far. The president
has brayed the dangers Of defeat. rather
than yield his position on many legis-
latiye measures He has said repeat
edly that the problems Of 1912 must
take care Of themselves at that time,
and he SO replied to senators who have
suggested to him regarding some special
situation that might endanger his
chances Of denomination Washington
has become convinced Of the presidents
sincerity, ana the suggestion that SEN
ator Cranes western trip has reference
to it must be explained with the further
suggestion that Senator Crane i prac-
teal politician Of the most consummate
skill, if President Taft is not.
No one knowing Senator Crane well
could conceive Of his roaming over the
country, interviewing the strongest pol
iticians on all sides in every state, with
cut realizing that he would throw up
to them graphic picture Of what POI
Ilitical results might be if certain lines Of
policy were not pursued. These sug-
gestions could not DO otherwise than
take the form Of mere or less definite
political program.
As for President Taft, it win be con
coded that his chief interest for the
next two years win be in completing
his circle Of legislative reforms. His
ambition is legislative, not political and
already mis- list Of important bills
passed is a record breaker. Mr.. Taft,
while for the moment apparently aligned
politically with the conservative wing
81 the party, is at heart progressive, #
not radical
Crane is essentially a conservative,
but above all d Republican and, owing
to his peculiar position in the Senate,
ardently DESTROYS Of keeping peace IN
the party. This can be done, he be-
lityes. only by Congress working har-
monieusly with the White House He
is, therefore, partly because Of his 10y
