 REPUBLICANS TO CONFER.
House Members to Consider Financial
 Questions Next Tuesday.

Washington, May 3.--It has practic- ally been decided to hold the long talked-of conference of Republican members of the house to consider fl nancial questions next Tuesday even ing. It is believed that the sundry civil appropriation bill will be disposed of by that time and that the house will be free to enter upon the consideration of any bill on the currency question which the conference may recommend. The leaders declare they have no pur- pose of trying to force any measure upon the party which is not generally acceptable and the meeting will not be, strictly speaking, a caucus. Most of them are hopeful that the second Vree. land bill will receive approval, but there will be an effort to confine legis- lation to the appointment of commis- sion, which may be the outcome of the conference Soon after the financial caucus, but possibly not until the fol lowing week, another conference will be held to consider the advisability of legislation for the modification of the antitrust law and the regulation of the issuance of injunctions. There is a growing belief that something may be thing Is done it will be along the lines of the recommendations of the Civic Federation.

ID RAISE THE RATES
RAILROADS DECLARE THEY MUST INCREASE FREIGHT CHARGES
 OR REDUCE WAGES.
SOME NEW TARIFFS ARE ALREADY FILED
Railways of Southeastern Territory Have Notified Commission of In crease In Rates on Fresh Meats Shipped from South and West-Wili Increase Price to Consumers.

Washington, May S.-It appears likely that the anticipated increase in railroad freight rates s about to be made. A few days ago a member of the interstate commerce commis. sion expressed the opinion that with in three or four months, unless de- cided improvement in railroad condi tions should take place. it probably would be necessary for the carriers either to increase freight rates or to reduce the wages of their employees.
 Sooner than was expected, action looking to an increase in freight rates has been taken. The railways of the southeastern territory have filed with the interstate commerce commission tariffs, effective June 1. increasing their freight rates on fresh meats ma terially. The proposed rates will af. southeastern territory from the north and west. The new rates will take eff feet at Ohio river and Mississippi river crossings, including Memphis, Tennes- see, and will be effective into all parts of what is known as the Carolina ter. ritory, that is, the section of the coun- try east of Asheville, N. C., and south of Danville, Va. The increase will amount to from three cents to ten cents per hundred pounds on all fresh meats. It is the first material raise in the rates on foodstuffs made by the railroads of the country for good many years. It will mean much to the consumers, as 1t will probably result in an increase of approximately ono cent a pound on low grades of meats and perhaps as much as two cents per pound on the select cuts.
 While the increase to the consumer in the territory affected by the pro posed rates is noticeable, it is likely that 1t is intended as feeler of pub. lie sentiment with a view to making a general raise in rates on all commod. ities. It is conceded by tariff ex. perts of railroads that many of the commodity rates of American railroads now in force are comparatively low and 1t Is regarded by those who have studied the situation that in view of the increased cost of railroad equip ment and of every empioye, it may be necessary to increase some Of the freight rates This is matter. how ever, which the interstate commerce commission probably will inquire into carefully to determine whether the rates proposed are in any sense ex' tensive or unreasonable. The increase of rates on fresh meats into the south eastern territory is regarded as ths entering wedge of general increase on all commodities and the result of the inquiry into the question raised will be awaited with interest.

PRoBI RM OF UNEMPLOYED

At meeting of representatives of various labor bodies held in New York last week Samuel A. Stodel, a prominent labor leader, made the declaration that there were at least 1, ,750, 900 idle men in this country at the present time. Where and by what means these figures were ob- tained, The Star does not know, but judging from the reports of men thrown out of work by railroads and other industries, shown by the daily newspapers during the past few months, there can but be little doubt but the estimate is conserva- tive -and each day adds to the list.
 The picture Is not pleasant one. With each idle man there Is de- crease of consumption of the essen tials and the luxuries of life, and as the consumption falls below the standard other men employed in the production are thrown out of work. the consumption is further de creased, and in like ratio the oppor- tunity for employment, and as this condition spreads over this great nation unmeasured deprivation and suffering must result, and continue until the tide turns and the oppor- tunity for the employment of labor again increases the demand for arti- cles of manufacture and general production.
 That these conditions should not be is plain to every man. That they will continue until some method different from any now in use in conducting the affairs of the people of the nation is devised and applied is certain. All know that this coun- try is vast enough, rich enough and has sufficient undeveloped resources to supply the needs of and employ ment for millions more than the present population if rightly ad- ministered.
 The world owes no man a living without proper effort to earn it, but it does owe every man the right to an opportunity to earn a living for himself, his wife and his children. The present system allows two classes, one the pampered rich and the other the depraved and degener- ate beggars and mendicants to live from the efforts of the class that labors and produces, is wholly wrong and unjustifable. The sooner the condition is remedied the sooner will the Problem of the Unemployed" be solved.
 In the meantime, through bad times and good times, the man who is most safe, is he who has a little patch of mother earth and who handles it so as to produce therefrom the greatest per cent of what he and his family require for their maintenance,

HE VALUE OF CONFIDENCE

A. w. Trenholm, general manager of the Chicago, St. Paul, Mime apolis & Omaha railroad. speaking of his efforts to create friendly feeling between the officials and employees of his road said:
 'I have been trying to dissolve the barrier of suspicion which has grown between employees and officials of this road for sixteen years, said Mir. Trenholm. When the nnancial strin- gency arrived last fall decided to make an experiment in railroad man. agement, and invited the officials and the employees of the road to meet me in conference. 1 believe there was enough waste on the road which, if saved, would more than compensate for a ten per cent reduction in wages These conferences are now held peri. odieally, and any man who has a grievance is given immunity if he will talk about it. We want to stimulate a spirit of cooperation from the bot

Worth CnltiYating.

Patience is an art. It is one which admits and requires the ut most culture. 1t is also one which may be, and should be, cultivated by everyone. No disposition is what it should be until it acquires this art, and develops 1t to certain degree of perfection. Without the art of patience, amiability is impossible, true politeness Is unattainable, and courtesy quite out of the question. Those who neglect this little art are the ones who are continually violat- ing the etiquette of social life, and marring the harmony of the home.--- Ed Howe in Atchison Globe.

BITS OF EVERY DAY PHILOSOPHY
fAtchison Globe.

{Atchison Globe.)
 The interest you take in another mans business is never profitable.
 Success is not always pleasant. There is the successful vaccination, for instance.
 Ever know a man so fair that he wouldn't twist his side of the story little.
 Fool with whisky and it is as sure to make trouble for you as an itch- ing sensation is to make you scratch.
 As long as palmists continue to make a living, American people should not boast how smart they are.
 A fool woman can manage man of sense, but no man of sense ever succeeded in managing fool woman.
 We have never heard of man who bought a farm with the money saved by quitting smoking. Still, the Sunday school books say such result is possible.
 In making machinery, much care and thought is exercised to avoid lost motion. How about yourself Is your work characterized by a good deal of lost motion?
 If you want to cultivate good habit, one that will stick to you more than most good habits. cultivate the habit of going to bed early. You will wake up earlier in the morning on account of i', and every hour you gain before noon is worth two hours after.
 How wise married women look when they hear young girls talk about how they will manage their husbands. You will find the same kind of look on the face of a scared old veteran when he hears boy al military school boosting of the battles he intends to win. It sounds very easy and graceful to say that man has accepted g position in some establishment. How much more truthful it would be il it were said, instead. after fighting with about fifty other applicants, he has finally secured job.
 It is impolite to talk in company of your personal joys and sorrows it is silly to talk of the weather; il is considered gossip if you talk abou, anybody; you are pedantic if you give your opinion of books. Is there any subject on which man can talk that will make him az polite as if he kept his mouth shut?
 If your husband is out late al night, don't sit up for him. Nothing will try mans love for his wife a: much as to find her, when he comes home, sitting up waiting, hall asleep, and feeling very cross. He will like better if she is in bed anc asleep, alike the rest of the children
 A man quarreled with his wife and took to drink. His wife hoping to reform him, hired masquerade suit one night, and accosted him or the street. ''I am the devil" she said. Her tipsy husband grasped her hand cordially. Shake, old boy" he said, I am your brother-in. law: I married your sister,"
