GIRLS DISLIKE HoUsEwoRK.

Factories are overwhelmed with ap- plicants for work, sweat shops flourish on cheap and abundant labor. depart ment stores turn away thousands of would-be salesgirls, typewriters are legion, there are more teachers than there are places, and the cry of the un- employed is often heard in the land. Yet households are broken up, cafes glitter, restaurants issue cheap meal tickets, boarding-house multiply, and the American home is yearly growing less, because the American housekeeper cannot obtain willing and competent service. In factories are girls who would rather cook, in shops women who would make good housekeepers, hundreds of typewriters are reeling off badly spelled words who would make creditable waitresses, and many are teaching school who should be doing anything else in the world. The Woman's Educational and Industrial Union of Boston made systematic effort to attract the workers in shops and factories to domestic service, but with signal failure. From 564 women who were asked to consider house. work, only thirty-six applied, and then these were not altogether satisfactory. Their dislike for the work is frankly stated to be on account of the long hours. no evenings for themselves. the isolation from other workers, and the social stigma that attaches to the oc cupation.

FOR SEA LEVEL CANAL.

It now appears that a subcommittee of the Canal commission, after a thor ough examination of all the data col lected by the engineers engaged Tn tnis ms work, has reported in favor of the building of a sea level canal and that this report has been approved by the commission and sent to Secretary Taft, who will soon make it public. In car. rying out the surveys and examina- tions much time was consumed, be- cause all the work had to be done from the very beginning. The French in making their explorations had al ways in mind the construction of a canal with locks, and the information they had collected was of little. use in determining the feasibility of cutting a canal at sea level. The greatest dif- ficulty in both projects has been the controlling of the waters of the Cha gres river; and these, it is now said can be diverted by the construction of a dam at Gamboa. To make the cut at the level of the sea will take fifteen years instead of ten, the time required for a lock canal, and will cost one hundred millions more. The question to be decided. therefore, is whether the advantages to be obtained will war rant the delay and the greater outlay of money. . R. s s..s
 Let's have the best. We can afford it. And little more time isn't of much account.

A DRASTIC BTLI.

Wisconsin intends to keep up with the procession, or, at least, her governor means to have her. A bill creating a railroad commission with drastic DOW CTS has been introduced at Governor La Follette's instance. The bill empow- CTS the commission virtually to take charge of the railroads of the State, ac- cording to the Railway Age, and run them without regard to supposed rights of their owners. The commission is to make rates at it's option, to classify freights fix damages, arrange sched- ules and do pretty much all else that the railroad officials have hitherto done, except looking after fixed charges and dividends. The rates are to be sat- isfactory to shippers-that is the guid- ing principle. The Age complains that in introducing this golden age of trans portation the bill ignores matters of capitalization, construction, operation, safety appliance, and general police reg ulations The measure places control of an enormous investment in the hands of a board appointed by the governor.
 Such a bill is timely, since it raises the question Of defining the rights of the State and of the railroad corpora tions in the property the latter have in the past been supposed to possess. To what extent does a railroad com- pany own it's railroad and equipment terminals, etc? Is it merely the agent of the State for the management of the transportation facilities it has put it's money into? In other words, does the railroad exist primarily for the benefit of the shippers, or has the cor poration beneficial interest to the ex- tent that it may expect reasonable income from capital invested?

 Yesterday the United States Senate, sitting as a court of impeachment for the trial of Charles swayne, district judge for the Northern district of Flor ida, acquitted him on all of the twelve articles of impeachment brought by the House of Representatives. On none of the articles was there even majority for conviction, although 1t required two thirds to convict. The closest vote was on the last article, the contempt case of W. c. o'Neal, when thirty-ive senators voted guilty and forty-seven not guilty, while on two articles only thirteen sem ators voted for conviction. The voting for the most part was on party lines, though there was not strict alignment on any article. Most of the votes for conviction came from southern Demo- cratic senators. .-.-.. .. ...ss

The Illinois Park Association has come forward with a novel proposition, to which it has succeeded in drawing the attention of the state legislature A bill proposes the establishment south of the caital, Springfield, of what is to .be known as "The Park of Fame" The park is to be laid out in the shape of the state of Illinois, and, like it, di- vided into 102 counties. In these coun- ties are to be placed statues and com memorative tablets of citizens who did not go to war, but whose work and services at home in behalf of the cause of the Union are still announcements ed. It is also proposed that the money for the purchase of the park and to carry out the scheme be appropriated from the $2,Ooo,OoO paid to Illinois with, in the last fifteen years by the federal government in return for money ad- vanced by the state in the war.

Mrs. Christine Ladd Franklin will begin on March 9 a course of lectures on color vision at the Johns Hopkins university. Tn connection with her lee tures on logic, Professor Royce of Har- yard recently said to his class apropos of her inconsistent triad:" "This sys- tenn, although independently approach ed by several investigations, was never fully demonstrated until in 1881, in an extremely technical paper in the Johns Hopkins university studies in logic, Mrs. Ladd Franklin worked out the whole method. There is no reason why this should not be accepted as the def- mite solution of the problem of the re- duction of syllogisms. It is rather re- markabIe that the crowning activity in d field worked over since the days of Aristotle should be the achievement of an American woman"

The Dutch language doesn't seem to be at a very high premium in the opin- ion of the heads of families in South Africa. A petition was recently pre- sented to the Board of Management of the Kimberly High Schools in favor of the teaching of Dutch to the scholars attending those schools. In order to ascertain the views of those most con- cerned, the board sent out circular to 444 parents requesting those who were desirous of Dutch being taught during school hours as part of the ordinary curriculum to write to the board stating their wish. Only twenty, however, were anxious that Dutch should be so treat ed and these twenty parents represent ed only thirty-six children out of total of ITS attending the high schools South Africa. #s:

DIcKINSONS MAXIMUM FREIGHT RATE
BILL

Senator Dickinson OF Henry county
introduced in the Missouri legislature
a maximum freight rate bill Tuesday.
This bill in substance is the same as
the Hall maximum freight rate bill
which passed the lower house four
years ago without a dissenting vote
and was held up in the senate com.
mittee by the Whaley-O orchard Farris-
Morton syndicate. This bill is Just,
in that it merely enacts into a stat
ute the rates professed in the Joint
Tariff Schedule which the railroads
themselves, compiled, agreed to, and
made oath to before the Interstate
commerce commission. 1t is hardly
conceivable that there should be any
way to prevent the passage of such a
bill exceptbY dishonesty No argument
can be made against enacting the
scedules which the railroads profess
and guarding them by appropriate
penalties. If the railroads do not
observe schedules which they file
with the commission, what is the use
in having a schedule? And. If they
do observe it, why should they object
to Its enactment into a statute? If any
Of the railroads want to keep faith in
the matter Of schedule rates, such a
statute would protect them against
the bad faith Of their INSCRIPTIONS
competitors, If they do not mean to
keep faith the people ought to know
it, and the sooner the better.

After commencing Governor Folks
inaugural address Ia unmeasured
TENS. the Fulton Gazette says of one
question touched upon in the address:
''In advocating home rule Governor
Folk goes farther than many In his
party. On its face home rule appears
all right. 1t conforms with the idea
Of free government. Yet there is a
vast difference between theory and
practice. A majority of the people
Of st. Louis favor good government,
but they do not always go to the polls
in sufficient numbers to control
elections. Let the crooks once carry
st, Louis under home rule laws and
there would be a permanent end to
both free government and good gov
eminent, fer they would organize a
police system that would forever after
control the elections Of the city. No
military government in the history OF
the world could eclipse it In either
corruption or despotism. The Ills
St. Louis has suffered in the past at
the hands Of machine politicians
would be inhnitesimal in comparison
with the wrongs she would suffer by
she criminal dynasty that would arise
under home rule upon the instant the
good citizens Of the city relonted in
their watchfulness."

GOVERNOR FOLKS APPOINTMENTS.

Governor Folk has made rapid pro-
gress with his appointments and up
to this time no complaint has been
registered against any of them. The
board Of election commissioners Sc
lected for St, Louis are composed of
men Of personal worth and recognized
integrity. Mr.. Hall, who was ap-
pointed warden of the p%enitentiary,
and Judge Lowe, who was appointed
coal oil inspector of Kansas City are
both well known and highly esteemed
in this county. Alexander New and
VIM H. Wallace, the appointees for
police commissioners Of Kansas City,
are men who have the confidence of
the people.
The Curators of the University and
Normal schools, so far as they are
known to the general public, are first
rate selections. He has appointed so
far as known, only his active party
friends; but it was not to have been
expected that he would have made
selection Of his enemies. 1t is enough
that he took pains to choose sound
men who will render their official
services faithfully, and with loyalty
to the responsible head of the admin
istration. His own success or failure
will be estimated by the public as
much by the character of his ap-
pointees and their acts as by his
own. 1t may be unjust to hold a
governor to 50 strict an account in this
matter, but they are so held-while
the president is not. Judging by this
standard, Governor Folk has made a
good beginning. If he is enabled to
get some really valuable legislation
through the General Assembly be
may be said to have finished his first
quarter stretch with high credit.
