The announcement of Curry's in

They had admitted that the indorse-

FIRST PITCHED BATTLE
The fight for the Endorsement of An
derson is the first pitched political
battle ever fought out by the railroad
employees and the railroad political ma
chine. War on the machine was de-
clared after the adjournment of the
legislature of 1909. The trainmen had
fought Jere Burke and his lieutenants
step by step through both houses of
the legislature and succeeded In pass
ing their full crew" bill. They insist
that if their bill had become law it
would have meant the employment of
less than an additional score of men
by the Southern Pacific company and
that Burke did not make the fight
against them for his own company but
for another. In any event their bill was
not among those that were signed and
became laws.
The conductors and brakemen were
the men directly affected by the full
crew. legislation. Indeed, their organ :
cations had never received the active
cooperation of thea other railroad
brotherhoods in the work for favor

legislation. The engineers only recent
ly came into the joint Legislative board
and the firemen have not yet affiliated
with the board.
1t was from the engineers on the
board that the railroad political bureau
was enabled to pull votes for Ander-

fewer political difficulties with the pol

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 4.-Governor
James N. Gillett. in reply to a state
ment given out by Clifford Coggins.
president of the board of trustees of
the state normal school at Chico, in
San Francisco today, declared that
Coggins attempted to make a deal
whereby DR.. c. C. Van LEW, president
Of the Chico normal school, was to be
"whitewashed" of the charges made by
Miss Ada Clark. The deal said the
governor, failed because State Super
intendent of Public instruction Edward
Hyatt and Florence O'Brien, secre-
tary of the board, refused to enter into
the compact. When asked concerning
Coggins statement, Governor Gillett
said:
II am not surprised at Coggins' let
ter notice from the public press
that Doctor Van LEW was in San
Francisco at the time 1t was written.
When Doctor Van Lew left my of
flee, after having an interview with
Mr.. Hyatt and myself, in which he adj
mitted that his reputation was bad he
told Professor Hyatt that the governor
was right and he ought to have re-
signed six months ago.
He went to San Francisco. saw Cog
gins and then made ready for a fight
Coggins, am informed, tried to per-
suade Hyatt and OBrien to vote with
them so as to make the vote unanimous
in clearing Van Lew of the charges
preferred against him, promising that
he would guarantee that Van LEW
would tender his resignation. The
proposition was refused. There is no
reason for any controversy between
Mr.. CogginS and myself, because we
both have plain duty to discharge to
the state under our Official oath, and if
we keep that In mind WEI will do that

school of which we are. both officials"

bers declare that no such decision
would be rendered If the board of
school trustees were composed of
women instead of men. The resolu-
lions were announced yesterday in a
bulletin published by the clubs secre-
tary. May c.. Wilbur. In part the de-
cision reads as follows:
To the Women of California:
our club has strong opinion
in regard to the case of the princi-
pal of the Chico normal school.
The clubs opinion is not the opin-
ion of the hour, but one that has

school trustees should be made up

ers can speak freely to women, but
not to men. The votes of men elect
their sex representatives of school
boards and not women.
Women vote on all questions in

IN the Palace hotel took on the atmos-
phere of morgue enlivened only by
threats of dire punishment for the
railroadmen who had dared assert
their political independence.
SEEK TO BECLoUD RESULT
Every effort was made to minimize
the effect Of their defeat on the pub
lie and yesterday, after a final failure
to pull down the men, it was decided
that the Anderson press bureau should
undertake to inform the public that
the action of the legislative board was
not in fact representative of the feel
ing of the railroadmen of the state.
Some of the Anderson papers were in
structed to, announce that the indorse-
ment of Curry was voted by suffers
who were not bona fide members of
the joint board. Unhappily for that
contention the railroadmen of the
state know the instructions given
their representatives before the boa I'd
convened, and they also know that the

GREAT WOMAN PAGEANT

Following perhaps in the steps of
the English suffragists who recently
held a great parade in the city of
London, the New York women are ar
ranging a pageant in that city fer
October 20, which will represent the
changed position of woman in the last
hundred years. 1t will begin with
the woman in the Sedan chair, then
there will be the woman of the eight
eenth century, with her spindle and
handloom. Then the women of the
present day, the great army of ply
sicians, teachers, lawyers, in caps and
gowns; the nurses and the business
woman, the golf girl, the tennis girl,
all will be represented in the long,
magnificent pageant. There is no
question that the American women
are taking on the up-to-date, energetic
methods of the English women, not
only in having this monster pageant,
but in the methods of advertising their
meetings. On Labor day the Boston
suffragists held a series of six great
meetings., carrying speakers in auto
mobiles from one meeting to another.

MORE ADVICE FROM FLETCHER

Horace Fletcher is working out a
new theory. 1t is the psychology OF
hunger and appetite. Horace Fletcher
is a millionaire He Is a multi
millionaire says the New York World.
Yet here he was actually enjoying a
feast of fasting all for the sake of sci
ence to prove the psychology of hun
ger and appetite. While the hue and
cry of the high cost of living rever-
berates through the land this man,
from statistics, is already saving the
country a half million dollars a day in
endeaVoring to work out a system
whereby less and less food will be re-
quired for the welfare of the people
and to produce actual results of health
giving.
1--WE eat too much" said Mr..
Fletcher. 1--WE steer in the wrong way.
The human is but a machine-a cor
pomobile If you please. We need to
learn how to turn on the electric spark,
and, mark yoo the steering gear is
above the guillotine line.
SIT is absolutely wrong to take food
until YOU are hungry, and the hungry
better not to eat. If you have but two
minutes to eat, eat carefully in those
two minutes.
Hunger is never expressed by any
sensation below the guillotine line.
You are the chauffeur of your eorpo-
mobile. If there is watering of the
mouth for a potato or anything as
substantial-that is hunger. Nature

A FLINTY REBUKE

Long before the congressional inves-
tigation of the Ballinger-Pinchot row
came to an end, it's dullness and dry
ness impressed everybody. Even the
senators and representatives on the
committees began to be excessively
bored by the protracted methods of
the various lawyers engaged in the
case.
"Now," said John J. Vertrees, coun-
sci for Ballinger, one afternoon toward
the close of the investigation, "refer-
ring to letter number 48, which the
members of the committee will find on
page 377-"
Does that number" asked Senator
Flint of California wearily, refer to
the page in the record or to the num-
ber of times the letter has already
been read to this committee?"

terest in the document.-The Popular

MRS. RoosEvELT's TACT

People who followed the stories of
the Roosevelt familys travels in Africa
and Europe will have taken note of
the modesty, the uniform excellent
taste and good sense which marked
Mrs. Roosevelts part in the ceremon-
les of which her famous husband was
the center Mrs. Roosevelt's name ap-
peared little in the newspapers; she
attracted just as little attention as
possible to herself, and she succeeded
in enlisting the sympathetic co-opera-
tion of the American correspondents
in keeping her in the background. Mrs.
RooseVelts social skill never showed
to better advantage than during this
tour She managed always to avoid
either the extreme of self effacement
or any undue assumption that the dis
tinctions showered upon Col. Roosevelt
were intended for anybody else than

THEY WERE CLEAN MISSES

There are always two ways of tell
ing the truth. The man who told the
king that he would outlive all his

derstood human nature far more than
the man who was put to death Tor
declaring to the same monarch that al
his subjects would die before him.

change. Get the taste out of anything
and it will swallow itself.
I'm other words, taste the food at
the time of eating and you will not
need to taste 1t afterward. Do you no.
tice that when we eat we hold the
head down? This goes to show that
once we took our food on all fours.
Further, we do not generally make
the most out of foods If we should all
eat bread first until the appetite was
satisfied with that, then other things
we would need only one-half what we
are now eating. The mind, too, must
be in an agreeable state"
