By Edna Ferber' ' Copyright 1920 or United News - Chicaso, June ,7. It had ' always ben Emma McCheeney's 'contention that one could see a -good deal of scenery but very little of the world from the Interior of a Pullman com partment, which partly- explains why, on her way from the East to the ' Republican national convention : at Chicago, she was taking' consider able enjoyment in her surveyal" of things from the vantage point of lower eight, car 51- .:' "Compartments, sue always said, "are comfortable and private and select. But they're certainly not broadening. The traveling public is divided into three classes. Those who travel in order to get somewhere, those who travel to see things, and those who combine the two. The last have the real fun after' an. ffOPtn MISS TOO? MUCH i "What la there to traveling if you're stuck away so that the woman across the aisle can't possibly ask you to hold her baby for a minute while she goes in to get a bite of lunch." Don't gather from this that Mrs. Mc Chesney was the kind of pest who calls ycu "dearie" in the dressing room. and. under 1)6 encouragement at all, drapes herself over the back of your seat and says: "Going far?" Not she, but she frankly found enjoy ment in watching : that little world on wheels as it streamed past her seat on its way to the diner.' She knew that she might have had her lunch or dinner Berved on a tray in drawing-room A with much more comfort, but she knew, too, that she'd be missing a lot CHATS' WITH COJtDUCTOB That line-up in the dining car corridor at meal time is thajacid test. If there's any meanness in us, or any fineness in us, it comes to the top and stays there when, hungry, hot and train-tired, we stand Indian- .file- in a space 12 inches wide, awaiting , the pleasure of the leis urely ones who are finishing their chick- , en pie and sliced tomatoes and vanilla ice cream. - The train on which she was speeding to Chicago was what is usually known as a fast train. It was very fast usu ally, but not today. It bore so many well-dressed, alert women and many men of common-Interest-that the Pull man conductor, on his . rounds, stopped to chat a . moment with Emma. It was by no means her first trip with him. He had known her. in the days when trains were practically her home and when a sample case full of T. A. Buck's Featherloom petticoats was always to be found just next to her own traveling bag. As proof of it he still called her Mrs. McChesney, though sfae had added another name since those , days. "Hello, Mrs. McChesney. "Well, it's been a long time since you traveled with me." He glanced at her ticket. "What are all you women going to Chicago for? I never carried such a bunch of women on my train in my life, and I've been on this run for 20 years." i Emma McChesney looked up at him and smiled. "There's a national Re publican convention in Chicago," she said. . i . : , . , ;. ,. BtfACTY 2TO, HANDICAP "What's that got to do with you?" "Nothing much; I'm merely a dele gate." - t Pullman conductors are a hardy, race and Inured to surprise They have to be, but '.they're human, after all. 'You mean you're going to vote? You mean you're going to sit in the Colisfitam there ori Wabash avenue and vote to nominate a candidate i for ,t president, and " Speech failed him.':, -'- : "I believe that's ; the way it's done." said Emma calmly. ; "Well. I'll be- , Say, listen, you're too pretty a woman to go mixing up in politics and stuff , like that. Mrs Mc Chesney."' i ' ; -i.-1-- "Thanks, so 'much, if you meant It as a compliment.

" "I know just how you feel, , said Emma. "It's one of the modern miracles and hard to believe, like the airplane and the wireless, but they're here to stay, and so is the woman delegate."- - 'Said Collins, "Why look here.' It stands to reason you've got to talk politics to understand 'em. The smoking room's full of men this minute who know more about who's going j to be our next president than any woman'll ever know. Yes, sir." EMMA DISAGREES Emma McChesney Buck stood up and brushed a fleck of dust off her blue suit skirt. "I'm going In to dinner, Mr. Col lins. I'm too hungry to argue the point. But let me tell you this. There was a time when I thought that if I could only put on an invisible cloak and hear some of the talk in the smoking com partment, I'd learn all the ;. business tricks there ? were. That was 1 when I was In petticoats, not politics. , For about two thousand years there has been a superstition to, the' effect that . when a group of men get together and talk in low, earnest tone they're settling the affairs of the world.

Jones ; (United News 8tff Cormpnodcnt.). ; Chicago, June 7.--The Republican party is determined that there is to be no "slush fund" handle 'hanging to the tall of its kite when the cam paign - turns into ; the ; November stretch. - ' , '' A policy of $1000 as the maximum con tribution which will be accepted from any.

Hays of the national committee. Colonel Thompson, Governor Goodrich of Indiana and Senator Calder " of New York are to be the speakers..

During . the last week the presidential booms of several leading -: candidates . have bulged and slumped ' like a crazy thermometer as testimony came out of Washington. The Republican leaders say this lesson has been sufficient and that they can read the handwriting on the walL The -report that -toe Republican na tional' committee is to limit campaign expenses to $1000 Is entirely correct," said Colonel Thompson. . "The reason is obvious. ' The method, customary with all political "parties in the past, of allow ing a comparatively small number of men to bear the burden of the campaign is no longer in accord with the Bpirit of the 'times. -v."-BODGE UECE G1PT8 :"A .wider distribution of "responsibility is demanded. : We: want, to obviate- the necessity for large single contributions which have a tendency to carry with them In the public mind a suggestion of improper obligations to the -giver, and at the suggestion of Will H. Hays, and on -the authorization of the national committee, a" system of 7 decentralized collecting: has been devised which will, we hope, make the financial support of the Republican ' party as representative as its membership. . , "Each state, under ou . present or ganization,', has a chairman of a ways and "means committee.
