railroad offices, the best practical teachers to be obtained, thoroughly experienced in commercial and rail way telegraphy, station and freight work-the Tyler Commercial College of Tyler, Texas, is unable to supply the demands of the railroads, Vest ern Union and Postal telegraph com panies for operators. Read the fol- lowing letters just received from two leading railroads. Tyler Commercial College, Gentlemen: Further refer ence to our conversation of recent date concerning shortage of compe- tent telegraphers, on account of so many entering the Government Signal Corps cervice. As 1t is likely that more will join the colors through the selective draft, and we cannot hope t, fill vacancies with any degree of cer- tainty with men over IS years of age, the St. Louis Southwestern Rail way Lines will, as vacancies occur, use competent lady and young men telegraphers and it would seem to m. an opportune time for young men and young ladies to take up the study of telegraphy and station accounts. The wages and opportunity for advance ment are very good, and with the we'll equipped school you have, I am very much in hopes that you will be able to greatly increase your already large telegraphy class in a short time.
 Yours truly,
 w. J. Williams, Supt. Telegraph
 Tyler Commercial College, Gentle men: If you will send us the high class students you have been sending we can use all that you can send Could use large number at the pres ent time if you have them. In this connection will say what students you have sent us have been very satisfac- tory and have developed in some Of the best telegraphers and agents that we have. Trust that you will be able to send us more of your students at once and keep them coming as fast as they are capable. 1 had the pleas ure on August ?, to visit your great school and made personal investiga- ticn of the methods used by you in preparing student telegraphers, and l find they meet with all requirements of my road. and l wish further to say you have the largest and most com plete and thorough business college that l have ever seen.

 Our telegraph students are on all the leading Southwestern roads. and in Western Union and Postal Tele. graph offices. Our graduates of oul other departments are also holding high positions in the commercial world. With our help you can be a bigger success. Write for free cata- logue.

NO POWER TO APPOINT
WOMAN PROBATE REG.

Guy II. Sturgis of Portland the at
torney general of Maine, in a decision
rendered at the request of Governor
Milliken. rules that the Governor has
no power whatsoever to appoint any
woman to act as register of probate
temporarily or permanently.
BY the Constitution, the whole
political power of the State is vested in
its male citizens says Attorney Gen
eral Sturgis in his opinion.
Whenever in any of its provisions.
reference is made to sex it is to du-
ties to be Gone and performed by male
members Of the community. Nothing
in the language of the Constitution or
in the debates of the convention. by
which ii vas formed indicates any
purpose whatever of any surrender of
political power by those who had
previously enjoyed it or transfer of
the same to those who had never pos
sessed it. Had any such design then
existed we cannot doubt hut that it
would have been made manifest in fit
ting and appropriate language But
such intention is nowhere disclosed.
Having regard then, to the rules Of
the common law as to the rights of
women married and unmarried. as
then existing. to the history of the
past. to the universal and unbrollen
practical construction given to the
Constitution of this State. and to that
of the Commonwealth of Massachu-
sets upon which that of this State
was modelled. we are led TO the inev-
liable conclusion that it was never in
the contemplation or Intention Of
those framing our Constitution. that
the offices thereby created should be
filled by those who could take no part
in its original formation. and to whom
no political power was intrusted for
the organiZa ton Of the government
then about To he established under it's
provisions, or for its continued exist
ence and preservation when cstab-
lished.
THE same process OF reasoning.
which would sanction the comforting
Of judicial power on women under the
constitution. would authorize the
giving them executive power by MAX
ing them. sheriffs and major generals.
In case of temporary vacancy.
however, an exception TO this rule

GOVERNMENT ROAD
BUILDING POLICY

Washington, Jan. IS. - Secretary
Houston of the department of agri-
culture, in communicat ton to the
American Association of State highway
officials has set forth squarely the
policy which he thinks should be fol-
lowed in highway construction during
the war. Secretary Houston says:
so far as ii is practicable to do
SO, this department will urge the main
tenance of the highways already con
structed: the construction and com
pletion OF those highways which are
vitality important because of their bear
ing upon the war situation or for the
movement of commodities; the post
ponerent Of all highway construction
relatively less essential or not based
upon important military or economic
needs. The department is preparing
to suggest to the State highway de-
partments, the preparation of a sched-
ule Of work for the federal aid pro-
jects for 1918 in line with this pol
icy"
In carrying out the policy thus an
nounced there has been sent out by
the office of public roads, OF the de-
partment of agriculture schedule forms
on which the states are requested to
set forth their proposed federal aid
work for the 1918 working season
These schedules call for a description
Of each road the character. quantity
and rail haul of the materials to be
used. the probable cost the amount
! of federal funds desired the specific
purpose of the improvement, it's bear
| ing upon the war situation, and what
effect a delay of the work until 1919
or later would have. With the in
formation thus assembled and classt-
/ fed, an efficient road construction pro-
gram is assured. While it is impos-
| slble to make any definite statement
regarding the transportation of road
materials. the expectations are that the
| transportation situation will be i'm :
proved and that the shipment of such
materials for essential projects can be
| made.
| Road construction and maintenance
IN the United States involve an annual
! expenditure of some $500. 900, 900. and
| there is scarcely section of the co,n-
try that is not seriously affected by
a marked disturbance in road work.

appears in Section 26 of Chapter 81
OF the Revised Statutes which says:
In case Of the death or absence Of the

suitable person of either sex, to act
as register until the register resumes
lis duties or another is qualified in
his stead he shall be sworn. and if
the judge requires it, give bond as in
the case of the register.
This provision being statutory and
rot constitutional and at variance with

in my opinion be construed strictly
and looked upon as limited in its
scope and Application to the exact
facts and situations specifically set
forth in the section itself in case Of

offices are of the female sex and would

16-WEEKS PAYMENT
FOR MAURICE f. RUNEY

Chairman Eben T. Lttlefield of the
Maine Industrial Accident Commission
has rendered a decision in the case of
Maurice E. Runey VS.. The Penobscot
Coal and Wharf Co, Of Searsport and
the Employers Liability Assurance
Corporation, insurers, finding that the
employer provided reasonable MEDICAL
and hospital treatment during the fist
two weeks following the injury as re-
quired by the statute, that the pro-
longed disability is due to the inter
vening agent of malpractice, and that
IS weeks would have been a reason
able period for recovery had proper
treatment been given. Twelve weeks
of compensation have already been
paid.
Chairman Littlefeld orders and de-
crees that the respondent. the Penob
ice +. Runey the sum of $64 for the II
weeks remaining unpaid and that this
sum shall be a settlement in full for
all compensation due.
While engaged in dumping coal
car from trestle some 30 feet high,
Jan. 20, 1917, at Searsport. the petit
toner fell to the ground and received
compound fracture of the femur of
the left leg. Runey was taken to a
hospital and whatever treatment was
administered does not appear to have
been satisfactory. The commissioner
has already ruled that the employer is
not liable for the payment of compen- :
satlon beyond a reasonable period of
recovery when it is apparent that the
prolonged disability is wholly due to
the malpractice of the attending physi-
clan.
