Americas Three Woman "Inseparables"

" CST before the princess of the
 house of Morgan sailed for Flu rope the other day she an Su@ nounced that she was coming back full of work" This princess is Miss Anne Tracy Morgan only unmar- ried daughter of the money king. If she chose she could regard work as a thing existing only to minister to her personal convenience but she chose rather to spend a summer abroad, as simflating all that is being done on the other side for the betterment of the workingman and his laboring sis ter.
 That however is typical of Miss Morgan She is the leading example in America of the rich woman who feels her sisterhOOd with the rest of mankind. She works, too-works hard in her efforts to raise the standard of living for the tOilers. She gives not only her money. but her time and her self While her father discusses in his Wall street office the details of some monster business deal very likely Miss Morgan is in an east side day nursery listening to the woes of an Italian mother compelled to leave her baby while sine goes out to work.
 In the latest interview with Miss Morgan in America she said that on her return from Europe she is going to fight especially hard for the mini mum wage scale now being discussed and advocated by sociological workers and students as the proper legislative remedy for the evils of insufficient pay for women and girls. law establish ing standard is absolutely necessary, Miss Morgan believes She spoke earnestly of the hard conditions under which women and girls labor in many factories and workshops and of the need for regula ting these conditions so that health and mortality may be con served.
 Sailing with Miss Morgan for Flu rope were two women who form with her one of the most interesting triOs in America Proba bly nowhere else in America or in any other country may be found three women insepara- bles such as Miss Morgan, Miss Elsie De Wolfe and Miss Elizabeth Mar bury. They are a living refutation of the assertion sometimes made that friendship, real, true, lasting friend ship. is impossible among women. Ir their devotion to one another, their in terest in the pursuit and aims of one another they remind one curiously Ot the four guardsmen' of Dumas. They have brains in common. brains to ar extent unusual among women as wei as among men.

The Place of Convention.


 The Chicago coliseum. in which the Republican show is staged is one of the greatest convention halls ,n the world. II is the successor of the coli scum in which the Democratic conYen- ton of 1896 was held and which was famous as the place in which William Jennings Bryan made the 'cross of gold" speech which helped so material ly in bringing the nomination to him. That edifice was destroyed by fire in 1896. and the present coliseum was built in 1900 on the site of the Libby prison exhibit in the Chicago worlds eXposi- tion. It is on Wabash avenue near Fifteenth street. a few squares south of the hotel center. and is reached easily by street car lines.
 The coliseum is 300 feet long and 150 feet wide. IL has a self supported roof, eirdered with immense steel arches. giving the interior full sweep from wall 10 wall without a post. There is one great balcony arranged around the four walls. There are. 9f course. plenty of exits. and NIT. Stone has seen to it that the lighting and ventilation are as nearly perfect as they can be made. There has been some criticism of the acoustics of the great hall. but such difficulties are probably inse9aTa6le from the size of the building. (
 One of the principal places of as semblage in Chicago for delegates and their friends is the Congress hotel. which was formerly known as the Au- ditorium Annex. The gold room" of the hotel is shown in the llustra- tion. It has been and will be a fa- vorite gathering place for many of the big men a the convention.

 The "Resi Thing" Is Stone.
 But they are all wrong. TIa real thing in the matter of power to make or mar the national convention is the sergeant-at-arms. to whom the chair man of the committee on arrange ments delegates most of his powers. reserVing q large share of the glory for himself if things go right and if he be of a mean disposition, lay ing on the sergeant-at-arms most of the blame if things are ill arranged. Hap oily for the G. Q. P. it's sergeant-at- arms William r. Stone collector of customs in Baltimore is man well fitted by experience and ability for his onerous task. He was sergeant-at- arms of the conventions of 1904 and 1908. and what lie does not know about running a convention is not worth putting into a manual on how gigan- tic assemblages should be conducted.

Bradford. England The description of the vehicles and method of operation given in the report mentioned may be taken as descriptive of all the systems;
 "The vehicles correspond in general appearance to the single deck motor omnibus, plus the means of collecting current. A double trolley method is necessary to complete the circuit from the wire through the motors and back to the generating plant On one of the lines in Vienna two pairs of cables are used, so that passing ears do not have to stop and exchange connections. as on other lines and as was done by some of the earlier electric railway trolley systems in the United States
 The Austrian vehicles. which, empty. weigh two and a half tons apiece, each carry twelve passengers seated, with standing room for twelve more. The electric motors. each of twenty horse power. form the hubs of the rear wheels. and current is led to them by a flexible cable attached to a pair of wheels which run on top of the wire, q similar pair making the return circuit A weighted pendulum slung from
 frame presses the wheels down upon
 the wires.
 It is stated that all the systems ex- amined operated smoothly, with few hitches and that owing to the compar- ative Iightness of the vehicles the road suffers less than in the case of cars carrying gasoline or other engines. The committee reports itself as much impressed with the practicability of all the systems for transportation feeder purposes in sparsely settled districts and a a means of avoiding the heavy expense required for the installation
 of ordinary street railways"
 In addition it may be said that the tracEless trolley system lends itself very well to the purpose of those who desire to avoid the laying of tracks in restricted roads along which regular means of transportation of passengers or freight are needed. The wires may 1 be hidden in trees at the sides of roads. In some cases the cars have been | eolipped with storage batteries so that 1 Inc wires may be left if desired and the l ears then may be run independently i until such time as it is found advisable l 10 hitch them again to the central l sources of power. But the objection to | this form of utilization of the cars lies in the expense of the batteries, in the
 opinion of MT. Martin, and the Euro pean trackless trolleys have not been fitted generally with batteries
 The flexible cable and the absence of tracks enable the car to run on any
 part of road. overtake other car ] riages or to turn anywhere, accommo- dating itself therefore, to all sorts of
 traffic The cost of running the sys-
 tens has been found in Europe to be ] very reasonable.

friends. but months ago he expressed the opinion that a man on the highest bench of the United States should not seek political prefermeut even for the highest office in the nation.
 The delegates represent all shades of Republicanism from the conserva- tism of Taft to the "progressiveness" of Roosevelt Cummins and La Toilette. In spite of the great numbers of dele gates won before the convention by the present president and his predecessor, the Iowa man and his Wisconsin col league both asserted weeks ago their determination to remain in the fight to the finish.
 Much Work Is Necessary.
 Let no man think that attending to the details of a convention of 1.07S delegates. the same number of alter mates and several times that number of spectators, is an easy task. Take the matter of seating them alone.

States is ten years be- hind in d field of electrical progress it should be time for Americans to wake up. Such is their standing in the mat ter of the adoption of the trackless trolley, In successful operation in Eu rope for several years and only now attracting general attention in Amer ica. Europe has at least twelve or if teen trolley trackless systems, says Thomas CommerfOrd Martin, the cleo trical expert, authority for the state ment made above. In his Report of the Committee on Progress" prepared for reading before the convention of the National Electrical Light associa- tion in Seattle, June 10-14, this year, MT. Martin says:
 An entirely new department of busi- ness for central stations is the track less trolley, operating on suburban roads or in rural districts where it is undesirable or improbable to install tracks, so that the opportunity ignored by trolley systems falls as naturally to the central stations as does the charg- ing of electric automobiles, some of which might. of course, do the same work
 "The trackless trolley, with contact wires overhead. has already been adopted at numerous places in Europe and there are hundreds of communi- ties in America that could be benefited

moral training of children. The en-
forcement of. the curfew ordinance

SUNDAY CONCERTS
On THE GR|DDLE
First Day Observance up for
T. Discussion at Meeting
of Ministers.

One minister according to reports
declared that Sunday concerts were
right in line with the true observance
Of the day and that he favored them
highly. This preacher it is said even
asserted that he would be pleased to
have h Y: M. c. A. wide open on
Sunday so that boys and men Of the
enjoy themselves that would take
them away from the streets and
in the 'Y" on Sunday would be iust
the thing for boys and men who have
to work all week.
Another minister 1t is said declared
that If the Y: M. G. A. ever ran wide
open on n first day Of the week he
would hav the swimming pool moved
e to his pulpit, whereupon the
preacher who had advocated an ath.
!etic Sabbath suggested that it might
help his brother minister If he did
nave a swimming pool in his church.
Some OF the ministers 1t is said
have stated that they propose to con
tinue their attack upon Sunday con-
eerts until the musical events are
ISOLATION say they will defend the
concerts to the limit.
Sunday concerts in Grand Forks
were. placed upon a hot griddle at
the last meeting Of the Ministerial
association, according to reports which
leaked out today. Aside from a
rather warm discussion. no definite
action was taken in the matter, It is
said.
Sunday concerts either by band or
orchestra are frowned upon by some

COLLEGE MEN BACK
FROM GRAIN FIELDS
North Dakota Threshing
Well Advanced and Labor
Crisis Passer.

University ana high school students
are returning to the city to begin
their work again after having spent
from one to two weeks in the harvest
fields. Nearly a thousand young men
representing practically every school
and college in the city left their
studies to 60 to the assistance Of the
farmers and reports indicate they did
excellent work. Many of the students
are CONS Of North Dakota farmers
and they returned to their own homes
to help. but many students from city
homes or from outside the state also
found work in the fields.
Conflicting reports come from vari-
GUS sections Of the state in regard to
the amount Of work done. In Cass
county threshing is practically at an
end. Probably not more than five per
cent Of the work at most remains to
be done in that county. In the state
as a whole, Secretary Thomas Cooper
Of the North Dakota Better Farming
association, basing his estimate upon
personal observation and detailed re-
ports from the field men Of the assoc
citation, says about 40 per cent Of the
threshing remains to be finished.
While several'of the southern coun-
ties report the work as far along as
Cass county, Ransom county, n Of
the most important in the southern
section, reports only about so per
cent Of the grain raised there has been
threshed. Barnes county IL said to
be Is per cent threshed and stutsman
county about 80 per rent completAd.
