Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct 16.-When
Mr.. Mitchell learned the personnel
c. ne commission cal cI.5 morning
and was asked Tor a further state
ment he replied that he would have
nothing further to say until morning.
Previously, before he knew Of the
personnel OF the commission, he said
to reporters that the whole matter
would be laid before the joint meet
ing of the three executive boards OF
the anthracite region, at their meet
ing at 10 o'clock this morning.
In reply to the question If he

more about the matter.
Miners Must Vote Upon 1t.
After his interview with the re-
porters in the hotel lobby, Mr.. Mitch
eli went to his office on the second
floor, where he was closeted with Mr..
Wilson. While there the reporter OF
the Associated Press again went to
him for further enlightenment on the
situation regarding immediate re-
sumption, and he made the positive
statement that a delegate convention
must first pass upon the question OF
calling off the strike. This was also
before he knew the personnel Of the
commission. From the time OF the
calling Of the convention to its ad-
journment is only a matter Of three
or four days. rnere is hardly any
doubt that a convention will stand
by any agreement he has made to
President Roosevelt.

If by constitution he is proud of his

A face massage is a comfort For
about a year il has been practiced in
a number of the shops in Lincoln.
Those VINO have tried it once have re-
peated il on every possible occasion.
Only three things will prevent its
repetition with invariable regularity.
They are these, to-wit: lack of time
lack of dime and no credit.

alike. The principle. however, is one
scheme running through all their ef-

The barber who can rub your face
rightly is worth more to you than a
preacher, when it comes to setting you
straight with yourself and the world.
The comfort you derive from the
massage is more than two-fold. Be-
sides renewing your spirits it gives you
the satisfaction of knowing that the
skin has been thoroughly cleansed and
that the circulation has been encOur-
aged. The rubbing, preceded by pro-
cess of sweating. loOsens the kinks. re-
moves the finely lodged particles of
dirt and sets the blood to moving as
never before. Stub ends of blood ducts
where heretofore the red fluid has
moved but sluggishly, if at all, are
forced full of blood. encouraged to ad-
nit it regularly and consequently these
parts are nourished as never before.
There is no better treatment for faces
scanned haggard or pallid. And the
tendency is to send all facial excres-
censes glimmering.
France is the natal field of the face
massage. The notion was born there
and came across the sea as do most
all other things of merit that originate
in that country. Gradually il has

Lincoln not a year yet but every pro-
gressive barber in town makes some
pretensions in its practice. Not very
many have perfected the art.
Though hardly two start alike the
idea is to sweat the face with hot
cloths before the proceeding is over.
Thus the pores are cleared out in good
shape. A fragrant massage cream is
spread over your countenance and then
begins the rubbing process. Deft
fingers course over every inch of your
face in every direction. When this has

countenance in a pretty run of finger

even including the ridge of your
nose and lids of your eyes sometimes.

cheeks, forehead, chin and neck, up
and down, sidewise and every way,

Trials of Education in the East.

The extent to which school officers may control the action of teachers out side the school room, and the limits which should be set to the authority of teachers over pupils, are questions which continue to disturb the older sec tions of the country. In Tennessee school trustees prohibited a young woman teacher from having a beau more than two nights a week. The courts have decided that this is a mat ter which does not concern the trustees, but as the latter have discharged the teacher, the question is still, in a man ner. an open one. In New Jersey community a school principal instruct ed the teachers and older girl pupils not to wear shirt waists or short sleeves. They submitted, but they are now in revolt, because he has seized every pocket mirror and ordered that no others should be brought into the building, as the teachers spend too much time in beautifying themselves The courts may be asked to pass on this. s
 In Chicago a school principal has had a bath room fitted up in the basement of the school and employed a woman to scrub every child who is not regularly bathed at home. This last case is sure

Impossible to Do Justice.

It is impossible, of course. for the vis- iting senators to do justice to them selves and to the territory during the short time which they will be able to devote to their investigations in Ari- zona.

 upon the senatorial tour, makes the ex- cellent suggestion that the sight of great stretches of desert should not mislead the senators into ignoring the mineral wealth which lies everywhere in this same desert.
 This visit says the Republican, gives the inha of the territories in question an opportunity to present their claims upon congress, and we hope it will be done with such convinc- ing clearness and force that Senator Beveridge and his associates upon the committee will return to their homes determined to make a formal report upon the admission bill now pending in the senate. This bill has passed the house, and if it passes the senate this winter Oklahoma, New Mexico and Ari- zona will soon become members of the union.
 ''The facts leave no room to question that the three territories named ought to be admitted; but there is danger that the visiting senators will be more impressed by the outward appearance of the country they traverse than by the facts that are revealed only upon a critical examination. The barren land scape, plains stretching for miles with little sign of vegetation, and bleak mountains giving no outward indica- tion of hidden stores of mineral wealth, may not present an inviting prospect to strangers. But the men who live in the southwest are intelligent as we'll as brave and venturesome, and the fact that they are convinced of the great future in store for the part of the arid region in question should stimulate all visitors to diligent inquiry

 They will learn that the courts are above suspicion. and that the laws are enforced with even-handed justice to all classes.
 They will learn that the course of study in the public schools has been commended by the leading educators of the United States.
 They will learn that numerous pu- pills coming from the public schools of ! eastern cities are unable to pass the examinations here for the grades in which they passed at home.
 They will find Arizona land Of | churches.
 They will find that there is not a town in Arizona in which a manor woman-alone unarmed and unattend- ed, may not freely and safely travel from end to end at any hour of the day or night.
 They will find law and order so firmly fixed that there has not been a lynch ing in the territory in nearly twenty years.
 They will find that Arizona is the only commonwealth in the union In which wife -beaters are sent to the peniten- tiary.
 They will find that in Arizona man no matter how prominent he may be -is sent to the penitentiary if he de- serts his family and proves unfaithful to his wife.
 They will find that the people of Ari- zona are of the best American type ambitious, brave, patriotic and self reliant, and firmly insistent upon their right to govern themselves.
 They will find that the people do not listen patiently to the suggestion that they have not yet reached the stature of some of the states, and that they must be held in the bondage of terri torial vassalage so that they cannot reach the required stature.

When coEgratulatory messages were exchanged the other day between Brit ish officials over the completion of the new British Pacific cable, no one seems to have thought of sending a cable message clear around the world, which was now possible for the first time in the history of mankind. The idea did occur to Charles J. Glidden of Boston on November 1; the novelty of it struck his fancy. So he wrote a mes sage, Around the world" directed to himself in Boston, and ordered it sent by way of Vancouver and Australia. Not being a rush message, no hast 2 was made anywhere, and when it reached him in Boston thirty-eight hours and twenty minutes had elapsed Anyone, it appears, can do the same thing, if he or she is willing to spend about SIP to pay the cable and tele- graphic tolls. The message did i~st turn up in Boston, by the way, with entire accuracy. It came in somewhat Weather-beaten, as it were, reading "Gleddon'' instead of Glidden, and with Around transformed into 'Armund." The two words, "the world went through safe and sound.

Preachers as Dramatic Critics.

At a recent meeting of the Actors church alliance of New York City it | was proposed that that organization | join with the church club in discourag- ing indecent or morbid plays. The plan suggested was to appoint a committee of clergymen to attend the opening per formances and report on the mor:tl worth or worthlessness. of the plays. This report is to be made public and Is to serve as guide to that part of the theater-going public which desires to see the stage made more of an active force for good in the life of the com munity. This opens the large question of the ability of clergymen to do the work which would thus fall to their lot
 The New York Evening Post asks if judges of the moral quality and effect of a play? Is it not, as a matter of fact. almost proverbial that they are easily beguiled by little mock relig- ious sentiment, and that they have ire quently extended valuable countenance and support to very fragrant theatrical impostures? Plays like The Sign of the Cross and The Christian. 5 not to mention host of others, in which the attempt has been made to give a re- ligious flavor to cheap and meretricious melo-drama, has never experienced af77 difficulty in securing clerical commend ation, sometimes in very unexpected quarters. There are, we believe, a con siderable number of clergymen of diff ferent denominations who even today are in favor of public representations of the passion play. and are convinced that the result would be widespread re- generation. On the whole, if these clergymen wish to engage in the work of theatrical reform-and nowhere is reform more urgently needed-they will be wise to avoid the danger and the odium of denouncing or recommending any particular performance. Let them devote themselves rather to the work of renewing in the public mind a prop CT respect for what is clean and decent in the abstract"
