HOUSEKEEPING

There are thousands Of women in
the State OF Colorado today who are
confronted with the same problems
of housekeeping. Women are asking
how they can make housekeeping
easy and more pleasant: and this ap-
plies to the ranch as well as to the
town woman. Many women are not
willing to use poor, slow methods OF
twenty-five years ago when there are
many better ones In use. IL Is true
that our grLndmothers were busy wo'
men, for they had to make the car
pets, candles, preserves, salt the
meats, make the clothing, Knit tue
mittens and hoods, and do almost
everything else that was needed IN
the home. The factories OF today
have taken from the home many OF
these industries. In the old training

Railroad Expenses Enormous

Some idea Of what 1t takes to run a
big railroad may be obtained from an
enumeration Of some OF the items Of
expenditures by the Santa Fc. Ac-
cOrding to the Santa Fc Employees
Magazine, the purchase Of material
and supplies by that road during its
last fiscal year involved the cXpendi-
turc OF sil,73s,ll3l7, or more than
5000, 900 10 excess OF 1907. or this
amount 50, 327 ,O62 IS was for new rail,
81, 3l9, ,99S so for lumber, sl2,3sl, 7Oj. ~
for new equipment, :7,7l5,OiO.7s for
fuel, .l,4il, ,36S. 81 for miscellaneous
expenditures, sis2. sol So for stationery
aud sii,l72. Sc for postage stamps. 1t
Is little hard To grasp the hugcness
OF Si2, 900, goo, but IL makes IL a little
easier to comprehend when we say
that IL means the spending Of $500, 900
every week in the year, Slii,OOO day,
or about 50, 600 every hour in the day
for every day in the year. 1t Is pre-
dicted that the purchases will be even
greater during the year TO come.

speech OF Senator Foraker In defense

cause Of their supposed connection

Of the senate have the galleries been

the negro race. They came early and
secured the points OF vantage in all
the galleries except that reserved for

The senator began by saying there
evidently was a misapprehensIon con.
corning his speech and he read from
a newspaper clipping to the effect that

in denunciation of the president and
the secretary Of war. He, laughingly.
d~isavowed his intention to do either

He proceeded to read his address. The
utmost silence prevailed during nearly
three hours. Then his references to
the part the colored rae had taken in
the military service of the country
called forth smothered applause and
when he finished there was re-
sounding hand.clapping. which defed

continued for several minutes. Col

Chester, Pa, April IA strike Of
conductors, motormen and other EN-
ployes of the Chester Traction com
pany, followed by the importation of
about $50 strike breakers and the sum.
mOning of a detachment Of the state
constabulary to assist the local po-
lice. precipitated a series OF clashes
between strike sympathizers and state
police. The state police were stoned
and mobbed and several officers and
civilians were hurt, though none dan.

The events of the day have aroused
the entire populace and the town Is
practically under martial law, with all
the saloons closed and the street car
barns and other property of the trac'
ton company under guard.
The trouble started when a mob
prepared to stop the running of cars
by strike breakers. The first car out
OF the barn was stoned and every win
dow in 1t broken. This absolutely
tied up every line Of cars at Chester,
including the southwestern trolley
line to Philadelphia.

Washington, April 1.-THE presi'
dent transmitted TO congress u special
message advocating the retention in
the naval appropriation bill of the
provision tor -four new battleships.
lie says:
Let me again urge upon congress
the need of providing for four battle.
ships Of the best and most advanced
type at this session. Prior to the re.
cent Hague conference il had been
my hope that an agreement could be
reached between the different nations

of w%arships. Under these circum.
Stances | ielt that the construction Of
one battleship a year would keep our
navy UP to its then positive and rela'
'iVc strength. But actual experience
showed not merely that it was impos.
sihln 30 obtain such an agreement for
the Limitation of ornaments among
the various leading powers, but that
there was no likelihood whatever OF
obtaining 1t in the future within any
reasonable time.

Of this kind: We have provided for but
two. and therefore the balance of pow.
er Is now inclining against us. Under
these conditions, to provide for but
one or two battleships a year Is to
provide that this nation, instead of
advancing. shall go backward In naval
rank and relative power among the
great nations. Such a course would
be unwise for us ii we fronted merely
ON one ocean, and ii is doubly unwise
for us il we front on two oceans.
As chief executive of the nation,

Of the state central committee, which
