HALF-HoLIDAY FOR VOTING.
President Bush of Missouri Pacific
ENCOURAGED Citizenship.

1T is only fair to emphasize the fact
that President Bush of the Missouri
Pacific Railway company ordered that
the men in the employ of his company
should be given a half-holiday on the
5th, so that they might have plenty of
time to attend to the duty of voting,
says the ST. Louis Times.
They were released from their du-
ties in order, as an official order ran,
Ito enable them to exercise the privi-
Iege of American citizenship and vote
for the men of their choice
There was a time when the rail-
roads were supposed to exert an i'm
proper influence upon their employees
in the matter of elections. Perhaps
it is safe to believe that a minim UNI
of such influence ever existed. New
ertheless, it may serve the ends of
Justice to give full publicity to the
step which was taken in st. Louis
Tuesday by the president of a great
railroad.

REVISE SANITARY EQUIPMENT.
Public Health Officers Have Right to
Inspect All Trains.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Radica1
changes in the sanitary equipment of
trains are to be ordered by the United
States public health service just as
soon as practicable remedies can be
devised, according to officers of the
service here.
Under the law public health sur
geons are empowered to inspect all
trains and report on the conditions
they find. Reports, the contents OF
which were learned today, show that
filthy conditions prevail in a large
number of passenger cars and stations:
Public health officers say that lack OF
sanitary devices on trains makes it
possible for a single victim of con-
tagious disease in a journey from New
York to San Francisco to pollute all
the water sheds in the country.
Railroads will be ordered to change
the equipment of their trains, as soon
as the public health service can make
the necessary regulations and heavy
fines may be inflicted for all violations
of such regulations.

Hunted Son to Say Farewell.

Pittsburg, Kan, Nov. 1S.-It is believed
that one of the last purposeful acts OF
]. A. WayIand before he killed himself
Sunday night was to hunt up his son,
Walter, to bid him farewell
L. H. Lashley, president OF the Craw-
ford County State bank at Gfrard, was
friend of Mr.. Wayland's.
q was sitting before the open door
OF the back office of the bank at 8
o'clock Sunday evening", said Mr.. Lash
ley, when Mr.. Wayland came by. He
stopped at the door and We talked on
general subjects for a half hour Or so
and I asked him to come in and sit
down. He declined and said he was
hunting for his son. Walter, and as he
finished speaking he sobbed deeply and
pitifully and walked on toward the Ap-
peal office"
1t is Mr.. Bashley's belief that the IN
fortunate man wished to see his son to
bid him a final farewell. However, he
said that Mr.. Wayland had not shown
a sign of strong emotion until that mo-
ment.

His Forces Are Said to Be. Much Dis.

Committee.

Chicago, June 1.-THE Roosevelt bolt
is about to be launched, probably within
"a hours. Unless within that time there
is radical change in the attitude of
the national committee in seating con
tested delegates, formal notice willebe
served upon that body in statement
signed by Senator Dixon, numerous
Roosevelt leaders from all over the coun-
try, including the more than seven gov
ernors whose states. by means of the
primary, have recorded themselves as ia
voring the colonel's nomination. This
notice is being drawn up by Governor
Hiram Johyeon in a tentative form. II
will then be submitted to the governors
of the other states, and. if approved by
them, il will be issued forthwith.
While the text of this notice, which, if
promulgated as now expected, will be
an historic document, is not yet known
it can safely be said that it will review
the actions of the national committee since
it began its hearings in Chicago charg-
ing that the national committee is not
representing the Republican voters of
the country, and, demanding that unless
the national committee about faces and
seats the primary delegates in
