gradually and sanely, according to most
of the women. The great effect of
their part in this convention will be
the awakening of confidence in others.
A few Of them condemn the delay
by the men in getting things done.
They point to federation of clubs con-
ventions and cite the brevity with
which things have been accomplished
by women, even when there were great
factions working against one another.
The women cannot but feel that they
showed up we'll in the party's plat
form, that they were we'll represented
on committees and on state delegations
The matter of equal representation or
the executive committee of the ma
tional committee was not settled salts
factorily to many of them, but others
believe the seven extra members given
to women will make it possible for
women to come to the next convention
with ability to get full "ffty yhfty" rep
resentation.
Among the women convention work
ers has been the Council of One Hun
dred, an advisory body of two women
from each state. This organization
was in Chicago before the convention
started and had its final meeting to-
day. Republican women, through the
council will send representatives back
to every state in the Union with an
idea of what is still needed and Of what
a big convention really is.
New-York tribune., 1920-06-13

of this twenty square miles of coral
rock should wish to honor their aged
constitution.
Originally founded by shipwrecked
company under Sir George Somers,
destined for Virginia in 1909. the
islands have remained continuously
under British rule.
Revenues are raised chiefly from
tariff duties. No land taxes are levied
by the colony. There is a very light
tax on realty in the parishes and the
proceeds are used for maintenance of
the poor.
There are no divorce laws in Ber-
muda and only one breach-of- promise
case was ever tried here Most of the
cases on the calendar involve bicyale
stealing, assault and petty theft. There
IS little serious crime, though in a
region where every one rides a wheel
the theft OF bicycle is regarded some
what as horse stealing was in the West
few years ago.
There are old timers here who have
never set eyes on a train or a trolley
car, but of late they have had the sat
lsfaction of seeing flying boats circling
through the air.
Innovations of any kind are apt to
be looked on with some suspicion. The
majority is conservative, and that is
perhaps why so much sentiment is at
tached to the coming celebration of the
-year-old constitution.

every man speaking on the program.
But the point that won for the women
with the crowd was the fact that they
knew how to say something briefly.
1t really took the speeches made bv
women yesterday to make many of the
men realize that the women were here
for something besides the pink teas
and elaborate dinners with which
Chicago society has showered them
The change which has come about since
Monday in the way in which the
women's part in the convention has
been handled in the local newspapers
is indicative of the change of the
women's place in the convention.
AT first the stories were all about
what Chicago's "four hundred" was
doing for wellknown visitors. Then
there were notes made on this woman
or that woman, what she thought of
being delegate or whether she was
the oldest or the youngest in the con-
vention.
To-day, however, there were no per-
sonalities played. There was simply
the news of what the women had done
Believe They Awakened Confidence
Many Of the women believe they have
made great strides. If they have not
put across anything except the fact
that they are not curiosities but regu-
lar members and workers in the or
ganization they are satisfied. Any new
voting body should be worked in

nothing for herself in this convention
and her belief in Leonard Wood is the
chief motive for her coming.
Butler Makes Innovation
The campaieners for Nicholas Muir
ray Butler were the first to announce
that a woman would make one of their
speeches. Helen Varick Boswell was
chosen to second DR.. Butler. Miss Bos-
well has attended seven Republican
conventions Sne was an ardent party
worker before she was enfranchised
and has looked on many times, little
realizing that some day she would not
only have place among the delegates
but would make a speech for Presi-
dental candidates nomination.
Following suit on the Butler forces
move, nearly all the other factions had
women make seconding speeches, Mrs.
SOIlIilS NOOSeNelC hODlUSOn IOr Leon
ard Wood, Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns for
Governor Lowden, Mrs Alexandra Car
Isle Pfeitfer for Governor Coolidge
Mrs. Katherine Philips Edison for
Hiram Johnson, and Mrs. James w.
Morrison for Herbert Hoover, making
the feature of the days work
Mrs. Robinson's speech was the sur
prise and the hit Of the day. Reac-
tionaries among the men, men who do
not believe in woman suffrage, said
she was the best speaker on the pro-
gram, bar none. They could not say
enough fine things about her and the
matter of sex was entirely forgotten.
A few of them accounted for her un-
usual ability by the fact that she was
Theodore Roosevelt's sister. Said one
reactionary:
"For the first time in my life I
have seen an argument for women
keeping their maiden names. If Sena-
tor Lodge had not introduced Mrs.
Robinson as Corinne Roosevelt Robin
son many of US would not have known
who she was"
None of the women's speeches had
anything like the disagreeable effect of
that made for Hiram Johnson by
Charles Wheeler. Nor did any of the
women indulge in platitudes as did

the party are feeling pretty we'll salts

took part.
IdeaHsts Are Disappointed
few OF the leaders who had high
ideals of what the part of women
should be in party politics have been
disappointed. But most of them con-
cede that wedge has been entered
into the inner circle which will, in
time, give real fifty fifty" results.
Last night, when the men were hold

SANTA FE HAS READING ROOM
University Club Bulletin Tells OF
Splendid Progress Made.

The University Club Bulletin. of
Los Angeles. carries the following ac-
count of the reading room system of
the Santa Fe, written by S. E. Busser,
superintendent of the reading rooms,
who is a member of the club:
1t has never been exploited, and not
generally known, that the Santa Fe
has been operating for many years a
quasi university on their lines. On
the physical side of a railroad, it was
the track was the basis and most i'm
portant part of any system, without
which he could not handle heavy bust
ness and make fast time.
On the operating side, he held that
the more intelligent his employees, the
direct interest in the business, the
greater assurance he had OF success.
Here you have an answer to the ques-
ton, What has made the Santa Fe
such a phenomenal success in the
railroad world?
First-class physical condition and
intelligent and loyal employees. we
have hosts of college men on the Santa
Fe. Our thought in the reading rooms
was to afford an opportunity to men
on our payrolls, who had neglected
their early schooling, to recover and
build up. Hence. in these thirty build
ings we have erected at division points
we have placed the best libraries.

ing rooms, and he has offered pre-
MUM to any employee who can ask a
question or seek information which
may not be answered and supplied by
these books.
During the season from January ]
to May 1 he brings to these reading
rooms many of the leading educators
of the world, who stimulate the men
to investigation and study. and he
provides entertainments in music, art
the drama and literature.
He has brought over the line glee
clubs from nearly all the>big univer-
sites of the land, and today you will
find ex-members of these glee club:

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE.
President Storey of Santa Fe Issues
Greetings to Employees


Greetings to Employees
President W. B. Storey, of the Santa
Fe, in the December number of the
Santa F'e magazine, has sent this
Christmas message to all the employees
of the system:
I'VE are nearing the end OF the
year that has marked the transition
from government to private control
1T has been a year of uncertainty
and stress: there have been many new
problems and an unprecedented
amount of business to handle. and
with facilities inadequate and i'm
paired.
Thru it all the Santa Fe employees
have borne themselves well. They
have done honor to their company and
to their training. The patience they
have manifested in dealing with the
public, the efforts made at all times
to accomplish the best results under
the most trying circumstances, the
efforts of those in supervisory posi-
tiOns to guide properly those under
them, and the spirit of cooperation
shown by all have been manifest, and
it is due to your efforts that we can
now see daylight ahead and the uIti-
mate restoration of the kind of service
to the public which the Santa Fe for
merly gave.
Il congratulate you one and all on
the results obtained and wish you
and yours a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.

DISREGARD SAFETY LINE.


What do you suppose that line is
for?' Rock Island Stationmaster Bur-
ley asked a reporter, pointing to the
band of brilliant yellow painted on the
brick platform of the Rock Island sta
ton, parallel to and three feet from
the rails. Just then a painter was
bumped over the line, renewing its
brillia ice.
Why, I reckon it's a safety line, :.
suggested the bright reporter.
Huh, wish they'd all guess as well
as you cam" commented the veteran
station director. and glancing down
the platform, four of the six people
visible on it were standing between
the line and the rail. altho there was
far more space back of the safety line
and not a train in sight which they
could have been hoping to board
Seems like people are possessed to
get across that line" declared Bur-
ley. That's about the tenth time that
it has been repainted, and believe
it's just paint wasted"

IN SERVICE FTFTY-FoUR YEARS.
d. Burleigh. Station Master at Rock
Island, Served on Many Roads.

Fifty-four years of railroading is the
record which was rounded out last
week by d. Burleigh, sWtion master
since 1912, at the Rock Island station.
Burleigh has served on many roads,
and has held down nearly every job
which there is going. He has been
brakeman. conductor, engineer and
train master. besides a few other posi-
tions. His first railroad job was as a
brakeman on the. Wabash out of Keo-
kuk, Ia. He drew down the princely
salary of $40 a month on that job.
Burleish has no intention whatever
of retiring on a pension He likes his
job and is quite up to handling it.

Then engineer would follow IN abso-
lutte confidence that the dog was lead
ing him to a clear track. When the
train had cleared the lead and failed
to stop within a reasonable distance,
Turk would spring to the rear angle
cock, striking it with his foot, thus
applying the air brakes and bringing
the train to a stop.
He could take a lantern in his
teeth and pass all the standard signals
better and palmer than some old
timers.
Turk had an aversion to wearing
"a badge to identify his rank in the
service, and was often reprimanded
for his failure to do so. but his most
griecous fault was his utter disregard
of safety first"

LIKE TO DO THINGS BETTER.
Railroad Men Pride Themselves in
Their Efficiency

Railroad men stick reasonably close
to the truth most of the time. But a
railroad man likes to do everything
he does a little bit betteg than anybody
else. So when he starts out to tell a
whOpper, women and children to the
ropes.
For example, the following extracts
are taken from a bit of correspondence
sent to the Santa Fe Magazine by a
man at Canadian, Tex, anent a dog.
The dog has been killed, thereby fur
nishinS the correspondent with an air
tight alibi. otherwise probably no
story.
When the switches had been prop
erly lined for an entering train. and
when the engineer whistled for a
'highbalI,' Turk would start in a run
down the track in advance of the train.

along the trail of ice covered rivers
and lakes to the oil fields, he must
pass a most severe physical examina-
ton given by the 'nounties."
The police compel the adventures
to satisfy them of their ability to with
stand the hardships of the winter trail
before they are allowed to leave the
railhead.
Many of tie northerners are making
the attempt to get into the fields be-
fore the drive, which will. open with

But the armistice was signed and
