brought out. The conclusion Oh the
part Of the speaker seemed to be that
TIE women should be given the bal

opinion. Mr.. W. 4. Sanborn led the
discussion, and expressed himself as
believing that if the women had the
right to vote, very few would exer-
else that right. He traced the present
great agitation to England, where the
effort to secure woman suffrage" was
being pressed SO hard. He quoted in

vote on school matters, refused to take
the time, last year. to vote on the

from the collection plates OF the ST.

the authorities lay in wait for the

placed behind the altar with the
money on them, and the young man
entered in a short time and took
some OF the cash. He was grabbed
by the officer and finally subdued

If Asher G. Kinds, clerk at
Speaker Cannon's desk, and king
pin of parliamentarians, is chosen
as Cannon's successor, the house
of representatives will follow more
closely the English house of COM
mons idea of what a speaker
should be. Over there the speaker
is a presiding officer pure and
simple. He is not supposed to tell
the members what they should or
should not do.
1t is not generally known that
the speaker need not necessarily
be a member of the house, but that
is the fact. If a majority of the
members want to make speaker
out of Kinds, a mere clerk sta
toned at Cannon's elbow to solve
for the speaker the knotty points
of precedents, they can do so.
Kinds has been the right hand man
for every speaker since Tom Reeds
first term. 1t was Reed who
brought him down to Washington
and placed him at the little desk
just below the speakers chair.
He has been uniformly fair to
both parties, and to insurgents and
Cannonites alike. Congress pub
lished eight volumes of his prece-
dents last year, work which has
established for the speakers clerk
a greater reputation as a parlia-
mentarian than any partisan
speaker has ever enjoyed.

MORE GAR LINES
FOR L|OGERW00D
NEW LINES BEING BUILT BY
w. W. P.-MORE WATER
AND STREET LIGHTS.

The old familiar name of "Lidger-
wood line" will disappear from the
city car service of the Washington
Water Power Co. when the new
lines now being built in Lidgerwood
are completed. These lines, to be
known as the Division street and
Addison street lines, will take the
place of the Lidserwood line. Boil
lines will run from the center
the city north on Division to Lii
erty avenue, at which point the Ad-
olson street line will turn to the
east as far as Addison street and
run thence north to Rowan avenue.
The Division line will continue
straight north to Rowan.
The completion of these lines will
give Division street three car lines
to Boone avenue. two car lines to
Liberty avenue and one line almost
to the north city limits. Where a
very poor schedule of car service
has existed in the past in compar-
ison with the Importance of Divis-
ion street. much improved service
will be given in the future.
The grading on the Addison
street line is completed and a
single rail has been laid to Prince
ton avenue, to which point double
track will run. When a single track
is completed on Addison work will
begin on Division, and as soon as
the single track is laid there car
service will begin on both lines
and be discontinued on the old
Lidgerwood line. the good rails of
which will be used in laying the
double track on one of the other
lines.
With the completion of the new
Lidgerwood lines but a small por-
ton of the old Glass line is left. 1t
was known as the City Rapid Tran
sit Co. This was the original line
to Lidgerwood, that made the cir
cult of the loop and entered the city
over Sprague avenue. Its franchise
has 10 years more to run. 1t was
sold to the Washington Water
Power Co. some eight or 10 years
ago, and now but a small portion of
the narrow rail used on the Glass
line remains. All the new lines are
being laid with heavier steel.
The completion of the Addison
and Division lines will give Lidger-
wood three car lines from Howard
and Riverside to Rowan avenue,
one-half mile from the north city
limits These are the Division, the
Addison and the Astor lines, each
three long blocks apart With i'm
provement in the water service in
sight through the building of the
standpipe and the laying of more
mains, and the placing of many ad-
ditional street lights. that section
of the city has taken on quite a
boom.

the charges for the work already
done stood.
-Four dollars" he was told.
Gravel. So per load; two loads, 49,"
Gravel, eh?' muttered Rehberg.

Say, I'll just haul my own gravel.
What is the charge for hauling

oh, tin cans, not much of any.
thing, and ashes $50 a load" the
man in the wagon responded, with
a knowing wink
Ashes only $3.50; so you classed
this as gravel in order to charge
81 load for it, eh?" Rehberg con
tinued.
Yep" assented the man from
the city's sure thing" department.
We'll, what are you going to do
with that dead hen over there?'
Rehberg asked.
Nothing, till somebody comes
through with four bits for cartine
it away the fellow answered, and
with that he drove off smiling com
placently.
Now Rehberg declares he is go
ing to hire a team and haul away
his own rubbish. He is confident
of his ability to save some money
even at that, as the city does allow
common citizens to haul gravel
through the streets. But rubbish
never! And should the city's
health or crematory sleuths catch
a common citizen depositing rub
bish on some vacant lot within the
city limits it would be "all day
with that unfortunate creature
right off. 1t would be the Gala
boose for him and fine in court
would be the next step he would
take toward getting wise to the
city's huge crematory bonanza.
Nevertheless, Rehberg declares
the two loads of stuff removed
from his back yard was hauled tc
a vacant lot a block up the street
and dumped, though for sanitar,
reasons, it should have been burn
ed at the crematory. At any rate
Rehberg says, the man from the
crematory loaded up what he die
haul away with a fork and a gooc
sized scoop shovel.
Might as well try to eat sour
with fork as to use that nipple
ment in loading real gravel, and ne
man with a snap is going to use g
big scoop shovel in loading the
real thing, either. He will take q
child's size shovel.
Rehbefg went to the office of the
crematory department in the city
hall, but there he was laughed al
for his remonstrance at the 81
charges, and was told. why, you
ought to be tickled to death, fol
you got off lucky"
