BRIGHT woMAN,s BED HArRox

Closets in modern apartments cer-
tainly never were designed to harbor
headwear of such proportions as the
large hat in fashion now. The flat
dweller who invests in thrt style of
millinery has to face another problem
besides that of meeting the bill Where
shall she keep it? One woman says
that, If she has been late for every
engagement so far this season, 1t is
because before starting she was obliged
to spend at least fifteen minutes on
her knees before her bed trying to
discover in which of the manifold
boxes slowed beneath it reposed the
particular hat she had set her heart
upon wearing that day. Lately she
has had a furniture maker build for
her a device which enables her to
keep her millinery In the one place
available for its storage, yet to have
easy access to It, This Is a large box
fiat enough to fit under a bed yet
of ample proportions to contain five
or six hats. IL is light and easily
handled, being a simple wooden frame
work, covered with cretonne. At the
four corners and directly in tue middle
castors are set-the one in the center
being slightly longer than the others
making it possible to swing the box
around easily. Each quarter of the
lid lifts separately on n hinge so that
it is not necessary to draw the box
entirely from it's place of concealmeut
to lift out the particular hat In de-
York Press.

THE PLIGHT OF THE ACTOR


In way, behind the scenes is a
prison. It is surely one OF the very
few places where intelligent men and
women are locked in their place of
work and where no message from the
outside world is allowed to reach them.
There is a tradition that actor folk
are Of unusually emotional tempera-
ment and If therefore a telegram is
received at the stage door, 1t Is never
delivered until after the performance.
The message might be an invitation
to supper, or It might announce that
the actors favorite brother had been
hanged or 1t might be an offer in a
stock company to play twelve times
q week, or it might tell the actor that
he was the father of twins, or that his
wife would die without seeing him
again unless he came at once to her
bedside-but all of this information is
supposed not to be good for the actors
emotional disposition, and the telegram
is therefore given the same distinction
as the "mash note" and kept until
after the performance is finished. 1t
cannot be said that the actors emo
tional disposition is very seriously con-
sidered beyond the caSt-iron rule in
regard to kilograms. His comfort and
intelligence have been slightly flat
tered in a few theaters of very recent
date, but for the most part the condi-
ton of behind the scenes in most play
houses is not calculated to breed par
ticularly high thoughts of any kind.
AS matter Of fact, he is treated little
better than when he was only a "stroll-
ing" player-a gypsy-several centuries
ago.

FRANKLIN K. LANE

Mr.. Franklin K. Lane is a dual per-
sonality. He is a California Demo-
crat," but a Roosevelt commissioner, -
and he is proud of both distinctions
He is one of the new men who were
drafted into the interstate commerce
commission when it was increased
under the new rate law. In the course
of the investigation into the Harri-
man roads, it has come about that
Mr.. Lane stands out as probably the
most aggressive and certainly the most
significant member Of the commission.
AS California Democrat" Mr..
Lane has had some interesting expert
ence with political methods in that
state, and his appointment to the COM
mission was considered very interest
ing at the time, in view of the fact that
his political career in California had
brought him more than once into con-
tact with the machine" said to be
controlled by the Southern Pacific
company.
AS a Roosevelt commissioner" It
is noted that Mr.. Lane is asking most
of the questions in the investigation
of this same Southern Pacific and its
owner. He asks his questions very
briefly, but he seems to expect
much better answer than railroad
officials have been wont to give to the
commission. In fact, prominent rail-
road official sums up Mr.. Lanes posi-
ton in the commission in the phrases:
He carries the dynamite!"-

EAR.FETcHEp CRITICISM

Some of the critics Of the Strauss
opera, "salome," raised the objection
that the making Of John the Baptist
the object OF an unholy passion is In
a way, a reflection upon him and Jars
upon religious sensibilities of pious
opera goers. Now comes the criticism
that II gives an evil character to the
daughter Of Herodlas which is not au-
thorized by the scriptural story or by
profane history.
This solicitude for the moral repu-
tation Of the prophet may be justified,
though 1t would seem to the unbiased
observer that John squared himself
when he cursed the temptress i'm the
vigorous way the opera describes him
as doing; but the sensitiveness in re-
gard to Salome's standing is rather far
fetched under the circumstances and
may be classed among the humors Of
the day.
1t is true that there is nothing in the
accepted records to show that she was
an improper young person, save the
mere fact that she was the daughter of
Herodias gives room for question; and
as she later married a relative of
Herod, who was a man of some dis
tlnction In his time, the presumption
Is that she was of good repute 1t was
unklnd Of Wilde to picture her as bold
and bad. and illustrates his depraved
and morbid imagination, but as she is
In no respect a sacred parsonage, and
as none of her descendants, so far as
known, Is being injured by the SLAM
der, the protest against the opera on
her account seems to lack even that
degree of sincerity which led Mark
Twain to weep at the tomb Of ADAM
Star.

DIES FROM INJURIES
RECEIVED IN EXPLOSION

Marcelino Espinosa, s41 Meyer street.
one OF the Mexican laborers who was
so severely injured in the explosion OF
the boiler of a Salt Lake engine at
Santa Fe avenue and Butte street, died
at the California hospital yesterday
afternoon. Espinosa was scalded ana
burned in the accident 1t was thought
at the time his injuries would prove
fatal. The man was sitting on work
car fifty feet from the engine when the
explosion occurred.
The body was taken TO Orr q Ed
wards undertaking establishment,
where an inquest will be held this
afternoon at 4 o'clock.

GOVERNMENT BUSINESS

President r. P. Ripley Of the Santa
Fe railroad is accredited with a recent
statement to the effect that 'in a busi-
ness way the government never has
done anything well or economically -
and as a shining Illustration Of that
fact he calls attention to the postoffice
department, the revenues of which an
nually run behind several millions of
dollars.
"1 do not hesitate to say" says Mr..
Ripley, that nothing would please me
more than TO be allowed to organize
syndicate to operate that department.
The money for such a purpose could be
raised within thirty days. and at the
end Of the first year, instead Of a
deficit. the business would pay to pri-
vate enterprise a handsome profit"
Everybody believes all this to be
absolutely true. No department of the
government, however. has been so sig
Of the postoffice department. 1t has
been singularly beset by men Of small
caliber, who, apparently anxious to
save money, have persistently stopped
up the spigot and let everything run
at the bunghole.
Take, for instance, the persistent eff
forts of Assistant Postmaster General
Madden to harass and annoy the news
papers, under the crazy impression
that he was trying to do something for
the government, while on the other
hand his eyes were shut tight to the
fact that largesse to the railroads, IN
the shape of annual fortunes for car
rying the mails, were and are re-
sponsible for the deficit and not the
newspapers.
Take the franking privilege alone
and it's suspension would stop the
leak.
And yet the department officials
spend their time devisin6 ways and
means to curb the circulation of news |
papers, even going so far as to rule |
that the publishers must make daily
sworn statements of their business to
the postmaster general and allow that
to sit in judgment upon
their editorial, news and advertising |
columns.
No wonder President Ripley seized |
upon the postofflce department as an
of the failure Of the gov
ernment to do things we'll or economic
ally. 1t is open to attack from every
business standpoint, but a railroad
president is in better position than any
other business man to see and know
that if that department were con-
Quoted as private enterprise it would
pay handsome dividends the first year
instead of annually maintaining a
deficit of millions of dollars.
And there is not a newspaper in the
that would not be willing to
leave the adjustment of its difficulties
with the postoffice department to Mr..
Ripley, whose business knowledge and
experience would quickly bring order
out of the chaos precipitated by such
small-bore politicians as Assistant
Madden.

A TYRANNOUS COMBINE


The most tyrannous combination in
restraint of trade" thus far reported
is not a manufacturing trust but a
labor organization. In the whole his
tory of combines nothing is recalled
that equals the attitude of the organi-
cation known as the Industrial Work
ers of the World, as disclosed in the
Nevada mining town of Goldfeld.
The situation in that town, as re-
ported in The Herald, is sufficient to
arouse the Indignation of every Amer
ican. The whole community has been
dominated by the union of self-styled
workers until the degree of tyranny at
the present time is represented as un-
bearable The situation has become so
acute that the business men of Gold
field and the mine owners of the sur
rounding country have been forced to
take drastic measures for self-protec-
ton.
AS a consequence of this deplorable
condition one of the chief mining CEN
ters in the Nevada gold district is
perilously near to a state Of anarchy.
The I. w. w. reached the climax of
it's tyranny a few days ago when, as
officially reported, "A restaurant
keeper who had dared to serve meals
to carpenters under the ban of the l.
w. w. was shot dead in cold blood in
his own home"
That incident reveals the most re-
markable feature of the situation at
Goldheld. The I. w. w, which seems
to be composed largely Of the worst
element of laborers from Southern
Europe, is aiming to subvert the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. The act
of assassination resulted from failure
of the restaurant keeper to obey an
order not to serve workers affiliated
with the federation. Thus is presented
the spectacle of a labor organization,
composed largely of immigrants from
Southern Europe. resorting even TO
assassination in the effort to dominate
both labor and business interests in the
Goldheld district
But Goldfeld is an American town,
Notwithstanding it's large element Of
foreign laborers. The tension of Amer
lean patience finally snapped and the
business men and mine owners got to-
gether to determine whether they
should continue to be Americans or
knuckle down to the foreign riffraff
Of the l. w. w.
The result of the conference was the
! publication Of a clear statement of
facts, followed by a conclusion of
which this is the gist: "The Industrial
Workers of the World. as the repre-
sentatives of lawlessness, must leave
the district"
That notification has a ring that re-
calls "the olden days. the golden days
the days Of 49," There Is no mistaking
what 1t means. 1t is the American
way Of doing things as a last resort
1t may properly be classed as extra
judicial, in the inference it carries, but
as a winning hand 1t is what sports
call straight flush"
And there Is a moral in this turn
ing OF the worm" at Goldheld that all
imitators OF 1. w. w. methods might
study with benefit TO their health. It
is a moral that needs no Interpretation.

STRATEGY OF THE MOUSE

The runways under the snow no
doubt serve the double purpose of
paths along which the mice can speed
at an astonishing rate, and safeguards
against winged foes, which include
various hawks and owls, the northern
shrike and its kin, the more common
loggerhead. But when the enemy is
a quadruped the runways are no long
er to be depended upon. Wolf, fox,
dog, the weasel tribe, ETC., have shrewd
noses and strong paws, and every
hairy pirate of them is very wise con-
corning the tracing Of runways and
breaking into grass houses. It is true
that the field mouse almost invariably
has a burroW as we'll as a nest-a sort
of cyclone shelter into which he can
dive whenever matters up above ap-
pear to be getting too hairy and
snuffy. But alasi even a foot of
frozen soil is no safe shield when the
paws of anything canine get to digging
in dead earnest.-The Outing Maya
