-MnY THEY FRET

For scnle reason we notice that the
women do not take as kindly to the
work inCident to the care Of their
homes as men do to the work Of pro-
viding fDr their families. For in
stance, there will be ten times as much
kicking and jawing about washing
the dishes and the like among a
lot of girls as there will be among
boys who have much dirtier work to
do in calling for the stock on the farm.
Men put more enthusiasm into their
work, nd matter If it be hard, drudg-
ing and every way unpleasant, while
so many good women seemingly resent
the fate which compels them to per
form the drudgery Of the home. Why
cannot women accept their limitations
and invest homemaking and home
keeping with the same enthusiasm thai
men mi. into their business? One rea
son is that so few girls are ever taught
how to care for a home in a business
like and intelligent manner and 81
work all their lives at a disadvantage
doing work in the hardest way ant
ignoring a hundred economies ant
methods which would make their worl
ecsier and more pleasant. We vii
put It this way = the average Amer
ican gill is allowed too much liberty,
not sensibly and practically trained an,
is taught that the chief end Of her eS
istence IS to secure some man VIII
will take care Of her and provide for Al
her WANTS. Reform on these lines
needed not only fer the sake Of tn
, woman herself, but fcv the sake Of be
husband and children.

London Dock Charges Bill Passed
Speeches Favoring Panama Route.

Washington. June 16.-After dis
cUssion extending over parts Of several
days, the senate today passed what is
popularity known as the London dock
charges bill. The opposition to the
measure collapsed and it was passed
without division.
Consideration was then continued Of
the isthmian canal project. Mr.. Cullom
of Illinois and Mr.. Kittredge of South
Dakota delivering speeches in advO-
cacy of the Panama route The former
based his argument principally on the
report Of the isthmian commission. rec
Ommending that route, asserting shat
he was satisfied a good title to the
property could be obtained. Mr. Kilt
redge not only strongly favored the
Panama route. which. in his judgment.
was much the better. but also attacked
the Nicaragua plan as lacking in
defniteness. He pointed out that Costa
Rica was constituti0nally unable 20
grant the necessary concession to the
United States. and said that if the
Nicaragua route were selected it would
be a long time before work could be
begun. if il ever could begin.
Just before adjournment a spirited
discussion was precipitsted over a mo-
ton by Mr. Proctor of Vermont to
agree to q conference with the house on
the army appropriation bill. Several
weeks ago the senate was affronted by
a message from the house refusing TO
submit TO conference certain senate
amendments TO the bill. The opposition
to Mr. ProctOr's motion was so vigor-
Gus that finally he was forced to with
draw it for fthe present.

MAY IGNORE
K. C. PLATFORM
-
Illinois Democrats Opposed to
Silver Plank.
WILL DEN0UNCE HIGH TARIFF
MOST OF PLATFORM WILL BE
CONFINED no STATE ISSUES.
WILL DENOUNCE HIGH TARIFF

CPRINGFIELD Ills, June 10
Whether or not the Kansas City
platform is to be reahirmed, and
who win be the chairman of the next
state convention, are the causes Of pos
sible friction in the Democratic conven-
ton which viii meet tomorrow, and it
is not evident that either viii bring up
much Of a fight
The platform has already been built
in the rough, but viii not be finished
and polished off until tomorrow. A
committee of party leaders, headed by
Samuel Alschuler Of Aurora, who is TO
be chairman of the committee on reso-
lutions, met 10 consider the declara-
tion OF principles tonight, and remained
in session until late hour.
May Pass Platform in Silence.
The chances are, however, that the
Kansas City platform, and with it the
silver issue, viii be passed over in si-
lence. The advocates Of their recogni-
tion advance as their chief reason for
insisting upon a plank to that effect
that the avOwed policy Of the party in
the last national convention should not
be thrown aside. On the other hand,
the opponents Of restiirmatinn insist
that there Is a possibility of a party
split IL the plank Is inserted, and that
the chance Of this is too great price
to pay for sentiment regarding issues
that do not enter directly into the COM
ing state campaign.
The committee having the platform in
charge was tonight in favor Of ignOr-
ing the Kansas city platform, and un-
less the late arrivals tomorrow morning
should cause a decided change in SEN
timent, II is not likely that the present
aspect Of the platform will be changed.
Other planks viii be inserted declaring
IN favor Of territorial government in
the Philippines, criticising the attitude
OF the party leaders on the tariff, de-
claring against the interference Of the
federal courts in matters relating to
the revenue laws Of Illinois, declaring
against government by injunction and
favoring punishment for violation Of
an injunction through jury trial, not for
the actual violation OF the injunction,
but for the commission Of the Offense
which the injunction seeks to prevent.
There viii also be a plank on Cuban
reciprocity.
State Issues Considered.
The remainder of the platform viii
be confined TO state issues. Willard f.
Dunlap win be TenOminated for state
treasurer, and Pickering leads for clerk
of the supreme court.
The nine candidates for clerk Of the
appellate court are: John II. Baker,
Frank Orr, Cosmo Keller Seymour HUI
rat. Edward Mcconnell George w.
Funderburk, Henry Bowers. Samuel H.
Murdoch and George Ribble.
John p. Hopkins of Chicago will be
chosen chairman Of the state central
committee

SIXTH WEEK OF COAL STRIKE.
No New Developments-Several
Small Riots Occur.

Wilkesbarre. Pa June 1.-THE sixth
week of the anthracite coal miners strike
peSdn today without ripple to disturb
the calmness of the situation. The rain
the more than l50.000 men and boys in,
doors Several reports of assault on
Workngmen and coal and iron police
men were received here from different
sections of the region.
No one was seriously injured IL was
expected that TODAY would witness the
refusal Of a large number of fire bosses
and other mine hOsses. to go to work bur
the best information Obtainable shows
that the number of men who quit was
not large. However President Mitchell
and other leaders assert that nearly all
of the men that were at work on Satur-
day refused to 90 into the collieries to-
day.
Casper Clark of Toledo, president Of
the International Tam Drivers assOcia-
ton, came In for some attention by labor
leaders today He submitted to an in
terview in which he said his Organiza-
ton would do what it could to help the
striking miners.
There was a revival today of the story
that the Central Pennsylvania Soft Coal
miners would be called out very soon.
but President Patrick CLAY Of the cen
tral Pennsylvania district, reiterated
what he had said yesterday, that the
central Pennsylvania men would not be
called out except as an extreme measure.
he thought a curtailment of soft coal
production in his district would be
more likely action.
Some of the miners in his region, he
said have already suggested to him that
the number of days of work each week
be cut down. thus cutting off a consider
able supply Of soft coal that is coming
east

CONTRACTORS MUST OBEY
GOVERNMENT RULES.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, June 6.-Supervising
Architect Taylor states that the order
compelling me contractors Of the
Cheyenne public building to take down
the walls already built was issued by
his Office because the contractors had
failed to obey the orders Of the super
intendent of the building directing them
not to use certain cement which had
not been given a government test.
The orders of the superintendent were
explicit and were reinforced by a tele-
gram and a letter from the Washing
ton Office. Notwithstanding these or
ders, the contractors continued the use
Of the cement, which, upon being
tested, was found not up to the gov
eminent standard.
The supervising architect says that
public buildings must be constructed
Of approved material. and the con-
tractors will not be permitted to use
inferior articles Of any kind in the
construction OF. government buildings.

STORIESARE UNF0UNDED
Venezuels's Representative Says In
surgents Control Gable.

Washington, June 16.-In well inform
ed diplomatic quarters here the impress
sion prevails that the revolution which
is at present threatening President Cas-
tro Of Venezuela is perhaps the most
formidable OF any that has arisen
there during the past few years. Never
theless, as long as the revolutiOnists
can be confined in their movements to
outlying towns. and can be kept from
the central points Of administration,
such as Caracas, or the City Of Valen-
cha. it is thought here that there is
no possibility OF final success of the
opponents Of the Castro administration.
If the revolutionists fail in their pur-
pose this time. it is thought the ac-
complishment of their end can be rel
egated to the distant future.
Senior Augustus PulidO, the Nenezue-
Ian charge danaires. has not received
any advices from his country touching
the progress Of the revolutionary move
ment. In his last mail he received
a letter from the Venezuelan secretary
of state, Senior Ferrera. declaring that
revolutionary committees are using the
cable connections at Trinidad and Cur
acoa to magnify minor insurgent\ vic
tories into overwhelming defeats Of the
government arms.

ed for autOmObiling. and Mr. Hall an.
tieipated much pleasure for the coming
season. Remembering. however. that
the park is under jurisdiction of the
interior department. he made applica-
ton, as a precautionary measure, for
permission 10 take and use his auto
mobile in tie park. Much TO his as
constituent, the desired permission was
denied. and a rule of the department
was cited to the effect that motor vehi-
cles viii not be allowed within any
of the national parks of the country.
The reason for this exclusion, which is
given, is that the auto would frighten
the horses used by the transportation
companies in the tourist coaching ser
vice in the parks. and thus endanger
the lives Of the passengers. Mr.. Hall
says that anything that would fright
en- some speed into the horses of the
Yellowstone park service would be
gladly welcomed by the tourists pat
rOnizing such service.
