SCHOOL FOR BRIDES.

It. is in Philadelphia that a
school for brides is to be opened.
1he prospectus ism out, but the
supposition is that the institution
will fill a long-felt want in the
lives of young women who simply
couldn't wait to be married, and
who had neglected most OF the
preparatory steps.
There are some such. They
look mighty sweet clad in white,
smiling divinely and saying the
81 will" in a tremulous whisper,
while a tear slips down a pink
cheek.
For a while they board. 1t is
unsatisfactory. There isn't much
home to it, and it takes a lot OF
loving to cover the coffee spots
on the tablecloth and make the
soggy biscuits seem like angels
food. There is nothing that makes
a newly married couple yearn for
a home of their own like life in
the average boarding house.
And then they get the home.
There isn't much money. They
realize that they spent more than
they should on wedding fxings,
and Charley discovers that he
must give more attention to bust
ness and less to household mat
ters if he is to continue to draw
his weekly stipend.
The girl who doesn't know how
to cook and dust and sweep, and
make beds and run a home, IS
miles deep in a hole. She is 60
ing to realize it scores of times
a day and have little weep every
time the awful fact comes home
to her. She is going to read a
cook book and feel more hopeless
every time she goes over recipe.
She is going to lose some of her
pretty looks and good deal OF
her sweetness while experiment
ing in the kitchen over a hot
stove, and unless she has the dis
position of an angel, and her hus-
band is ripe for a halo, the first
quarrel will occur at meal-time
with poorly cooked GRUB" for
itS foundation
: There should be no necessity
of a school for brides. There
should be no marriages without
the home education necessary to
make them successful and happy.
But things are not what they
should be, in this world, and so
let's hope that the Philadelphia
experiment will prove a success
and that a host of girls will be
graduated into useful wives.

The bill for the merchant marine was
reported to the Senate and Bailey OF
Texas made the point that the COM
mission had been pledged to report In
favor of discriminating duties and not
in favor of ship subsidies. The sug-
gestion was combated by Senators
Gallinger and Lodge, who were mem
bers of the commission.
The bill, as reported by the commits
sion had been amended in only one
important particular by the Commerce
committee. An increased mail subven-
tion was authorized for the proposed
new route from a port on the Pacific
Coast to Hawaii, Japan, China and
the Philippines. For monthly serv-
ice the subvention was increased from
$500, 900 to 100000 and for fortnight
ly service from 100000 to 100000
Members of the committee feared that
the subvention proposed by the coma
mission was insufficient to attract bid
ders for the contract.

POLITICS BACK
OF SMOOT CASE
Witnesses Say Crusade Is
Not Directly Against the
Practice of Polygamy
SIMPLY AFTER VOTES
Idaho Democratic Leaders
Accused of Having Sacri-
feed Candidate Parker

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Nearly the
entire day in the Smoot investigation
was devoted to testimony relating to-
political conditions in idaho. Frank
Martin and f. H. Holzheimer, promi-
nent Idaho Democrats, testified that a
majority Of the Democrats of the State
opposed IAN unnecessary attack ON
the Mormon church, which, they said,
was the effect of the anti-polygamy
plank OF the party's State platform.
James H. Brady, chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee, charged
that the Democrats traded off Judge
Parker, the Democratic candidate for
President, for former Senator Heitfeld,
the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor.
Frank Martin, who is an attorney of
Boise, Idaho, said he never had known
of any instance of MORMON interfer-
ence with the politics of Idaho. He
had heard 1t charged that. Mormon in
f1uence had defeated former Governor
Morrison for denomination, but he be-
lieved so per cent of the people did not
credit the charge. The witness ex-
pressed the opinion that it was an an
nouncement by Senator Dubois that he
intended to push the Smoot inyestiga-
ton that provoked the Mormon con-
troversy of the last campaign.
Martin, on the conclusion of his testi-
mony, volunteered the statement that
personally he favored prosecuting those
who continued polygamous cohabita-
tion, but the majority of Gentiles be-
lieved the best way was to 'let the old
fellows die off,"
James H. Brady of Pocatello, Idaho,
chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee, said the last campaign was not
fairly started before 1t developed that
the Democrats were not fighting poly
gamy, but Mormonism. Senator Du-
bois, he said, tried to turn all Nor
mon votes into the Republican col
umn, and Chairman of the Republican
Committee Witt tried to get all the
votes he could by circulating copies
of Senator Dubois letter to former
| Governor Mcconnell to the effect that
all Mormons were criminals ncc
The witness said he was satisfied
that Judge Parker, the Democratic
candidate for President, was sacrificed
by the Democrats wherever it was pos
sible to get vote for Heitfeld, the
Democratic candidate for Governor.

JUDGE SWAYNE
| NOT FRIENDLESS
Littlefield Of Maine Cham
pions the Cause of the
Florida Federal Jurist
TAKES LAMAR TO TASK
Congressman Who Filed the
Charges Accused of In
citing Act of Violence

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The House
of Representatives to-day devoted Its
entire session to the discussion OF I'M
peachment charges against Judge
Charles Swayne of the Northern DIS
trict of Florida A dramatic incident
occurred when Littlefield of Maine
called upon Lamar of Florida, who filed
the charges against the Judge. to admit
or repudiate an alleged interview,
which the former claimed tended to in
cite the people to commit an act of vio-
lence against Judge Swayne. Lamar
admitted having given an interview
but emphatically denied any suggestion
from him that could be construed into
advising assassination or murder. He
said that, although Judge Swayne was
known to be the most lawless man in
Florida he had remained secure from
bodily harm,
Lamar declared that, while he did not
think Littlefield Intentionally charged
him with melting murder, Littlefield
certainly, had almost blindly misappre-
hended what really was said. If, said
Lamar, any one used his language in
the interview to impute that he sug-
gested violence to Judge Swayne he
would denounce 1t as a malicious false
hood.
THE gentleman's denunciation dis
turbs nobody" replied Littlefield, who
added that, unfortunately for Lamar,
the ordinary citizen of the United
States would so construe it, land it is
for that reason the language does great
violence to the character of the distin-
guished gentleman from Florida"

HYDRAULIC MINERS SEEK AID OF. STATE

as it will stand in the way of fat court
allowances If it becomes a law. The
schedules are contained in the follow
ing portions of the proposed measure:
Section 1. Section 1913 Of the Code
Of Civil Procedure is hereby amended
to read as follows:
Section 1913. When no compensation
Is provided by the will, or the EXECUTOR
renounces all claim thereto, he must
be allowed commissions upon the
amount of estate accounted for by him
as follows: For the first $1,000, at the
rate of s per cent; for the next $4,000,
at the rate of 4 per cent; for the next
$40, 900, at the rate of per cent; for the
next $4,000, at the rate of 2 per cent;
for the next $50, 1000, at the rate of / per
cent, and for all above 100000, at the
rate Of .one-half of 1 per cent. The
same commissions shall be allowed to
administrators. In all cases such fur
ther allowance may be made as the
court may deem just and reasonable
for any extraordinary service, but the
total amount of such extra allowance
must not exceed one-half the amount
of commissions allowed by this section
Where the property of the estate is
distributed in kind, and involves nc
labor beyond the custody and distri-
button of the same, the commission
shall be computed on all the estate
above the value of $4,000 at one halt
the rates fixed in this section. Public
administrators shall receive the same
compensation and allowances as are al
lowed In this title to other administra-
tors. All contracts between an execu-
tor or administrator and an heir, dew
isee, or legatee, for higher compen-
sation than that allowed by this section
shall be void.
Section g.. A new section is hereby
added to said code, to be known as Sec
tion 1919, to read as follows
Section 1919. Executors and admin
Iiistrators shall be allowed for fees OF
their attorneys for conducting the ordi-
nary probate proceedings the same
amounts as are allowed by the last
section as compensation for executors
and administrators for their own serv-
ices. In all cases, such further allow
ance may be made as the court may
deem just and reasonable for any ex-
traordinary service, such as sales OF
mortgages of real estate, contested OF
litigated claims against the estate liti-
cation in regard to the property of the
estate, and such other litigation as may
be necessary for the executor or ad-
ministrator to prosecute or defend

there are rates which court would de-
eide to be too high, and that either
class of rates may be equally disas-
trous to communities. He expresses
the, opinion that Federal supervision
of railroads Is necessary, but adds that
regulation and protection should go to-
gether. He says that one of the fol-
lowing three things is sure to take
place in the conduct of our railways:
First-Legalization of pools the
right of the railroads to make enforci-
BILE contracts between themselves as
to division of earnings, so that they
can resist the temptations Of big ship
pers and be assured fair share of the
business moving at stable rates which
shall apply alike to all patrons.
Second-The further unification of
ownership, thereby delivering in time
the eI..re railway ownership of the
country into the hands Of few in
dividuals or one syndicate.
Third-Government ownership the
worst of the three evils If such they
may be called
In the opinion of Morton, government
ownership of our railroads would be the
beginning of industrial and political
chaos. He rather favors the first prop
osition, with adequate provision to as
sure the rates being reasonable.
AS to pending rates, he favors the
continuance of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in substantially it's
present form.
