CHICAGO, June 22.-Woman has al
ways played big part i'll the worlds
affairs biologically. socially, dramati-
cally, theologically, politically.
She has never been, however. in
charge Of the electric controlled steam
roller, or it's predecessor, the royal jug
gernaut. At the most and best the flat
iron and the hatpin are hers.
Some years ago. in Saskatchewan, /
saw the peculiar sight of a hundred
women hitched TO a breaking plow. At
the handles there was a valiant Duka-
bohr, of the male persuasion, who is
sued his orders in clear steady bar
itone in words I did not understand,
but the omport of which was unmistak-
able-"Steady now! all together! One,
two, three, and away you go!"
| And so they numbered straight off
across the prairie, pulling and tug
ging, turning the virgin soil that the
earth might laugh a harvest
And l said to myself: This is a
curious sight but it is not nearly as
curious as It would be If hundred
men were hold of that rope and a
woman at the handles of the plow."
Men Do Bidding Of Women.
Men do the bidding of woman but
it is always a bit of make belief and
the man is playing to the gallery and
his own self esteem, first hypnotizing
himself into the fond belief that he is
the slave of the fair, frail thing
Yesterday a woman was in charge Of
the Republican national convention
For 80 minutes the invincible, cold
chilled steel composition of Elihu Root
was powerless.
Root is big enough always to give
other people their own way-and at the
last have his.
When the convention steed takes the
bit in his teeth Senator Root does not
struggle with him. He simply let's him
go.
And when the psychological moment
comes he gives that bloomin' bronze =
yank. first TO the right and then to
the left. And the animal is under his
control
The convention got going on gray

iusted his badge and examined his
mail
This Joan OF Arc business is no new
proposition to the Silver Gray Fox He
saw all this in a former incarnation,
when he was Cardinal Richelieu, and
before. but the lady who led the forces
yesterday was not the pale. worn,
shriven sexless Maid of Orleans Meth

gorgeous with emotion, Intoxicating
with the glamor of the limelight.
Not Too Spontaneous.
II will hardly do to swear an alibi
for this fair lady and declare that the
whole thing was spontaneous
1t was about as spontaneous as we're
the speeches Of the politicians, ali OF
whom had their manuscripts right with

All we Teddy people liked to see it.
A cry from the depths Of the
crowd started; I'VE want Teddy
A score of steam roller stock
holders rushed to MI Root and
every one tried to whisper to him
at the same time. He sat down
suddenly, fearfully.
He's afraid to go, lest Teddy
comes and steals the convention"

everybody else: He's afraid to

It was doleful--no one seemed to
be courageous enough to swell the

create much sensation. But no one
went away. The order was made
to clear the hall.
A threatening gentleman in q

It was going to happen. 1t was
something impossible to define. 1t
was in the air. 1t was thrilling. 1t
was sensational. 1t had never oc-
CURED before. 1t may have been
bloodshed or only a surprise. No
body knows what it was. Nobody
asked. Still everybody went about
whispering warningly to everybody
else. Just wait till tomorrow"
Christmas morning never found
earlier risers or more interroga-
tion-laden minds. Everybody want
ed to get to the Coliseum first, with
the result that crowds packed the
streets for hours before the doors
opened
There was no late arrivals, and
when the doors opened the people
began to gush in just as waters
gush out of'opening canal gates,
and in the brlefest time this flood
of people filed every inch of space,
sitting and standing, In that vast
hall.
It was q friendly crowd-it did
not matter whether you knew any
one or not, you just talked to them
when the occasion arose. 1t was
neither f1irtatious nor bold-just
natural as one would converse with
ones intimates.

you went away" said one man who
sat somewhere in our section. I'VE

But I am ready to root all day

Good; we'll talk to you through

way. They protested it was not

That's the first intimation | ever

Even the white-haired woman

FINISHING TOUCHES
ON TRAFFIC RULES
In Kansas Regulations, Gen. John
ston Finds One Relative to
Political Chauffeurs.

Commissioner Johnston now is putting
the finishing touches on the new traffic
regulations he has been preparing. The
work has been arranged in loose Leaf
form in order that the sequence OF the
regulations may be arranged more easily
to the combined Judgment of the Board
OF Commissioners, to whom It will be
formally presented by Gen. Johnston
within few days. 1t Is understood.
In preparing the new rules, Gen. John
ston has looked carefully into the laws
Of States and other cities, and In run
ming through the automobile law of
Kansas the other day. he came upon
the following unique clause. indicating
that Bleeding Kansas deIved more
deeply than usual into the automobile
traffic problem and its collateral ques-
tons:
Nothing in this section shall be con-
strued as in any way preventing. OBJ
structing. impeding. embarrassing or in
any manner or form infringing upon the
perogative of any political chauffeur to

any rate he sees fit, compatible with the
safeta Of the occupants thereof; provided.
however, that not less than ten nor
more than twenty ropes be allowed to
trail at all times behind this vehicle
when in motion. in order to permit those
who have been fortunate enough TO es-
cape with their political lives an oppor-
tunity to be dragged to death: and. pro-

was called of by the Postmaster Cen
eral yesterday after the bids were in.
Complain to Committee.
Last spring, as direct result Of these
transactions, manufacturing firms COM
planned to the committee on expenditures
IN the Postoffice Department. declaring
that they were not receiving Just treat
ment from the department In the matter
of competitive awards. The committee
determined to investigate the charges and
asked the Postmaster General to refuse
further awards for canceling machinery
pending the result Of the investigation.
This request the Postmaster General
agreed to comply with. Subsequently
the request was modified to permit the
awarding of contracts for work under
that division in case OF emergency.
This month, however, the committee
learned that awards were about to be
made in the canceling machine affair.
The Postmaster General was asked
about the previous agreement and replied
that he was under the impression that the
committee had completed its investiga-
ton He promptly withdrew the notice
of award. This was earlier IN the pres
ent month.
Tie subcommittee has been at work
now for several weeks and expects to
complete its investigation next month
In the meantime no attempt will be
made by the Postoff1ce Department to
place contracts for canceling machinery.

More Than $500 Has Been Subscribed to Oppor

More than $500 have been subscribed for

wishes to show it's thorough sympathy
with the movement and has offered TO
give the proceeds of its matinee on Tues
day from l to $50 o'clock to the Associ-
Rted Charities to divide among the OPP

Many people are showing their interest.

Quite a number of persons are stopping
at the Office of the Associated Charities
to ask for the names and addresses of
those for whom they are appealing in
the fourteen opportunities. The interest
and sympathy is greatly appreciated, but
it is absolutely impossible for the society
to give the names and addresses of the
families to strangers. The relation OF
the society to its family is as strictly
confidential as that OF a physician to
his patient. Families who apply to the
Associated Charities for aid are guaran-
teed this privacy. If this were not so.
families would cease to come to the So
Ciety and frankly ask for aid when they
need 1t. In each case under continuous
care an effort is made to secure what the
Associated Charities calls a friendly
visitor. Any persons who are interested
in doing this kind Of personal service
are asked to call at the society's office
and volunteer. Most OF the families in
Cluded in the fourteen opportunities have
already been assigned to such visitors,
but the society has many other families
on it's list for whom it desires good
Eeighbors and friends.
