There are two contested seats, but as
a majority of the next House will be

that undoubtedly they will vote solidly
to swing the organization of the
House.
Holding the balance Of power IL all
reateG certain they will be able to
dictate their own terms before the
speakership fight is settled. The In

plans with degree OF secrecy and Re-

no more than speculate as to the way
the group of Independents may vote.

The Quiet Hour

A member of the L. c. T, who has
been a patron Of the Pullman Com
pany for many years, recently wrote
their home Office in Chicago, compli-
menting them on the service adver-
tisements they have been running in
certain magazines. and mentioned one
point of improvement that will surely
find an echo in the hearts Of all who
use the sleeper frequently.
The point he made was that the
Pullman Company should esta a
certain hour of the night. preferably
10 o'clock. as the hour at which the
utmost quiet should be enjoined upon
all occupants of the car or those who
have occasion to enter same.
There would, of course. be no
trouble in establishing such a rule
among the employees Of the company.
Indeed, there is rare occasion to COM
plain Of noisy. employe: but 1t is
going to take some education to estab-
lsh such a rule with the travelling pub
lie. Waking persons are VIGOROUSLY
thoughtless about persons who wish
to sleep. The suggestion OF the coun-
cilor who wrote the company Is that
there should be posted in every sleep
er. courteously worded signs that
would call attention to this hour OF
quiet. 1t would be a boorish person
indeed who would disregard this reEu-
lation, once 1t were established and
thoroughly understood.
1t Is to be hoped that In the process
Of competing with themselves" which
the Pullman Company declares to be
their policy. they will not overlook
this suggestion of our fellow CONNER
cial traveller
