AT the most important meeting o.
Catholic representatives of charity anc
reform work ever held in the United
States at Washington last week, which
included among its attendants Cardinal
Gibbons and Mr.. Falconio the question
of how 10 protect girls against the
cheap. dance halls connected with sa.
looms was held to be one of highest i'm
portance. The saloon as an enticement
TO vice and more especially as danger
'ous allurement TO young men and
young girls was very convincingly por-
trayed TO the Catholic conference. In
response thereto it was decided TO or
ganize local city committee through
out the United States for the especial
purpose of working against the saloon
evil. This action by the leading Catho-
lie church workers of the United States
practically defined the outlaw status
OF the saloon from the Catholic church's
point of view. AT the meeting held
with Mrs Moon last Friday, the follow
ing delegates TO the Ionia County Con-
vention were elected: Mrs. Fred l..
Spencer, Mrs Harton Soules, Mrs. A.

FRIEDRICH L. SPENCER.

Friedrich l.. Spencer, Democratic
candidate for he Office of Register OF
Deeds in lonia county, has been a resi-.
dent of Michigan all his life, and fol-
eighteen years resident of Bedding.
He has held the office of supervisor In
the city of Greenvil lille and in Montcalm
township, and was also elected mayor
of Greenville. While a resident of
Bedding he has been supervisor four
times, being twice nominated and
elected on the Republican ticket and at
the same time nominated by the Dem
ocrats. He has never had his assess
ments raised or lowered by the Board of
Supervisors, which fact proves that he
has been careful, accurate, and just in
his judgment, and an efficient officer.
He is certainly competent and qualified
to fill the Office of Register of Deeds
for 1onia county and his election will
be followed by no regrets.
Although Mr.. Spencer has classed
himself as Democrat all his life, he
has never been dyed-in- the-wool parti-
san. and for this reason he has always
numbered among his warm personal
friends a host of Republicans who

Telephones tor Train Dispatching

/
The Pere Marquette is soon to join
the already long list of railroads using
the telephone TO dispatch trains, sup
planting the telegraph, which was con-
sidered the standard for handling train
movements for great many years.
The Pere Marquette has ordered in
struments, solicitors and line material
TO equip line from Saginaw, Michigan,
TO Toledo, Ohio, approximately 135
miles in length, with the telephone for
train dispatching. This is understood
TO be the beginning of the adoption of
the telephone system over the entire
road, extensions TO follow the compile
ton of the first circuits. Between Sagi-
nav and Toledo there will be thirty
telephone stations. The chief dispatcher
will be located at Saginaw. The entire
equipment is being furnished by the
Western Electric Company.
Because of the great ease and facility
of transmission, the telephone has in
the past couple Of years been making
rapid strides into favor among railroad
managers. Itperforms the work former
ly done by the telegraph i'm a more rap
id and efficient manner and the adop-
ton of the telephone standard by a
great many of the largest railroads i'm
the country has caused a complete
change in dispatching methods.
