PENSIONS FOR WIDOWS.

Among the many recent suggestions
for promoting equality Of opportunity
and ability TO enjoy the blessings and
dependent widows, and particularly
widows with children, should be PEN
stoned a. public expense. Why not?
The idea can hardly be new, but it is
getting new attention. Mrs. Clarence
Burns who has for years been at the
head of the Little Mothers Aid Society
in New York, is the widows PENSIONS
new advocate. She reasons we'll. "A
man" she says, becomes soldier.
If he is injured in war he receives
pension in recognition of his service
for his country He feels no humilia-
ton when the money is proffered him.
and in many cases is only too ready to
apply to the state foa it if he has not
been recognized. A woman risks her
life for her country, her children grow
I'D to serve the nation, and why, when
this woman gives so much to the
, world, should she not when left desti-
tute receive as much as the man who
goes to war;
! Quite right. 1t is only another kind
of war, anyway, with this difference,
| that there Is no Glamour about 1t, no
| hero medals, no chance for distinction
and the applause Of the multitude by
| some bold or lucky st.oke-nothing
but a monotonous, unrelenting, single
handed, close-in combat with want.
If that isn't war, it at least is a pretty
close approach to what Sherman said
war was?.
! And, first Of all, none but widows
and their children should benefit-"no
loophole by which good-for-nothing
man could profit by the pension given
to woman said Mrs. Burns. That
would require some legislative and adj
ministrative ingenuity, for there are
| more good for nothing men than there
are widows, which is saying there
ought to be more widows than there
are.

NEEDED CHURCH DEMOCRACY

speaking of one Of the needs of the
church the other day a thoughtful
churchman deplored the scantv repre-
sentation at church services and i,
church membership of the strictly
wage-working men and women. He ex-
pressed large regret over this condition
and the more regret because in his
opinion the churches rather than the
wage workers are responsible for the
condition. It is true as he saws. There

IF TAFT MEANS IT.
Knoxville Journal.

Senator Cummins is trying to give
practical effect to President Taft's rec
ommendation that hereafter the tariff
be revised one schedule at time.
Strange to say he is encountering the
determined opposition OF the very men
who read him out Of the party because
he wouldn't vote for the Payne-Al-
drich tariff bill. If President Taft
really means it he will find in Cum Minis
as good a fighter for his policies as he
was against those things which the
president unwisely permitted himself
to be forced into the position Of de-
feuding.

Mr.. SUNDAY GOT JUST so4 os.

[Cedar Rapids Republican,
Of course, the rumor had to be cir
culated again that Mr.. Sunday receive
ed $500 for his speech in Cedar
Rapids. He received the collection
that was taken up, just what the peo-
pie wanted to pay him and nothing
more. The average paid into the coll
lection boxes was probably not in ex-
cess Of s cents a head, making it one
of the cheapest lectures ever delivered
in the city. People occasionally pay
50 cents for the privilege of hearing
lecture. But II Mr.. Sunday is able to
make money 1t is because he has a
peculiar genius. Caruso is paid So, 900
for a night in grand opera and Ger
aldine Farrar gets something like ST.
600 for appearing. 1t is because there
are not many voices like Caruso's and
very few like Miss Farrar's. Mr.. Sun
day belongs to a similar class. He il
the only man we have heard Of in the
United States who can drew audiences
of 5000 three times q day for seven
weeks and at the end Of that period
people are just as anxious to hear him
az they were at the beginning Of the
series Of meetings. The other night,
speaking to $500 persons, probably.
there was not man or woman who
made a movement to get out of his
hearing; mono left the auditorium.
What other speaker could hold an au-
dience like that? We have never seen
q politician who could hold them that
way, altho they are called spell
binders. That is all there is to the
monetary side of it.
AZ q matter Of fact since writing
the above. We are informed the COL
lection amounted to $54.05, which Ii
Mr.. Sundays pay-that means that ~
cents is the price each man paid for
hearing the lecture.

or all the vehicles we meet
In air and sea and on the street -
I humbly sing the praise of feet.
It is not widely understood
How safe are feet, how soundly good.
How firm with supple hardihood.
Consider, feet run not away, ~
Where feet are put there feet will stay,
Or, turned, feet promptly will obey.
Further consider, feet will not.
However worn or pinched or hot.
Explode and wreck your chariot
And think, however feet may ache.
How many million trips they make
Without q blowout or q break!
And, tho the feet are punctured. too
They mend themselves without ado
And plod along as good n new.
Feet need no license; fest may go
In narrower pathways to and no.:
The fairest hidden hooks they know.
Feet finger thru q pleasant scene;
Feet run not out Of gasoline:
A handy brook, and feet are clean. :
Feet in all weathers boldly run;
Needless Of mud their miles are spun, :
Nor by the snow are feet undone.
Feet run not over dog or boy;
Do not with raucous horn annoy
Nor throw their dust on others Joy.
In fine. on feet IN travel far.
Till can buy q touring car.

About the silliest excuse for trying
to Gust an elected officer is the one
being tried down in Wright county on
the woman who was elected superin-
tendent Of schools. Carrie Anderson re-
ceived comfortable majority for the
office but just before election she was
married to Mr.. Lucas thus changing
her name which appeared on the ballot
as Anderson. The people who voted for
her knew whom they were voting for and
wanted her for the next superintend-
ent. There 10 no moro reason why
she should be deprived of the office
than there would be to deprive a man
OF the office because he was married
on the eve Of election. There may be
q technicality in the law which will
put her out. but the man who digs it up
and enforces it must have q mind on
him one size smaller than q mustard
seed.

LANDSLIDES KILL 81 MORE
Canadian Pacific Workers Buried
Under Tons of Debris in
Rogers Pass.

Vancouver, B. c. Snowslides in
in the Rocky mountains nave
caused the death of go more men. The
latest victims were workmen engaged
in clearing the Canadian Pacific track
in Rogers pass at the summit of the
Selkirk range. They were entombed
by an avalanche. Fourteen others were
injured.
The men were attempting to clear
away the debris of a smaller slide
which occurred in the Arrow valley of
Bear creek, fanked on either side by
precipitous mountains covered with a
depth of snow varying from twenty to
fifty feet While the men were trapped
in this valley the second avalanche
descended. 1t started on the side of
the canyon opposite the point where
the first slide occurred. Thousands
of feet above, few rolling masses of
snow, growing in volume and mo-
mentum, started on a pathway of de-
struction.
The avalanche piled on top of the
first slide, burying the tracks for a
distance of quarter of mile around
to a depth of so feet. Hundreds of
thousands of tons of other debris in
the wake of the avalanche bounded off
the huge heap and half filled the val
ley of Bear creek, hundreds of feet

Succumbs to Bright's Disease, Aged 76
Years, at His Home in

New York-Former United States
Senator Thomas G. Plat died Sunday
at his home in this city at the age of
rs years.
His long life ended as slender
cord might snap in twain.
By reason of their regular visits to
their father rather than from belief
that the end was near, his three sons,
Frank, Edward and Harry, and Mrs.
Frank Plat, were at his bedside in
the apartments of Mr.. and Mrs. Gus
tave Abels, with HON the senator has
made his home for the past five years.
DR.. Paul Outerbridge, the family
physician, and Mr.. and Mrs. Abels
also were present.
Senator Plat had rallied from a
sinking spell which sent him to bed
early in the afternoon and was chat
ting on topics of the news when the
doctor arrived and he playfully joked
the physician about the coming time
when his services would not be
needed.
Propped up in bed he took part in
the small talk of those present for Is
minutes after the arrival of the physi-
cian Then tremor passed through
his frail frame and by the time DR..
Outerbridge reached the side of his
patient Senator Plat was dead.
For four years Senator Platt had
been a chronic sufferer from Bright's
disease and occasionally experienced
sinking spells.

FEAR DEADLY RIOTS
QUAKER CITY INDUSTRIES ARE
PARALYZED BY BIG
STRIKE.
ESTIMATED $1,000 MEN OUT
City Officials Refuse to Take Part In
Plan for Settling Difficulty-Man
Fatally Shot-Dozens cIubbed by
Police.

Philadelphia.-The industries of this
city are practically paralyzed because
OF the general strike that started Fiji
day at midnight.
Probably $4,000 workingmen have
thrown down their tools and walked
out of their shops, determined not to
return until the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company arrives at some sort
of an agreement with it's striking en-
ployes.
Every branch of industry has felt
the deadening power Of the Walk-out.
Street car traffic is virtually aDan-
doned. Mills and factories are closed
down, restaurants are seriously AFFECT
3D. cab drivers have stopped hauling
passengers to show their sympathy
for the street car men.
Disorders have spread from the Ken
sington district to every part OF town
Clashes between the police are ire
quent, and the general public fear is
growing stronger hourly that unless
something is done to end the trouble
there will be riots that will result in
heavy loss of life, together with acts
of vandalism and incendiarism that
will cost great property losses.
Mayor Reyborn and the city councils
have refused to take any part IN any
scheme that might bring about an ad-
justment of the differences between
the street car men and the company.
The labor leaders assert that their
general sympathetic strike" will as
sumo surprising proportions, although
they make no estimate OF the num-
Der who will walk out. The police
and the officials of the Rapid Transit
Company say that the general strike
will turn out to be a fiZZle and that
in couple of days not only the str1k-
ing motormen and conductors, but
those who are striking in sympathy
with them will be begging to have
their jobs back.
Meanwhile, however, the police are
still having their hands full with riot
ers. One man was fatally shot Sun
day, several dozen were beaten by the
police or run down by policemen's
horses, and auto trucks and patrol
wagons changed about in brisk fash
ion, carrying reinforcements to the
troublous neighborhoods and cartine
back prisoners to the city hall.

BALLINGER INQUIRY LAGs
Pinchot Again Accuses Secretary with
Having Made Measurements and
Deceived Taft.

ipgton-Interest in the Bal
linger-Pinchot investigation continued
to lag Friday as the cross-examina-
ton of Mr.. Pinchot by Mr.. Vertrees
developed little which was not gone
over in the evidence.
There was much quibbling between
counsel and the witness as to the
meaning and Interpretation of certain
statements Mr.. Pinchot had made and
opinions as to the understanding of
various letters and documents. Mr..
Pinchot again accused Secretary Bal
linger of having made misstatements.
With reference to his claim that Mr..
Ballinger had deceived the president
concerning decision of the comptrol-
Ter of the treasury, Mr.. Pinchot adj
mitted that Mr.. Ballinger's written
statement to the president was "pret-
ty fair, from Mr.. Ballinger's point of
view," and that the documents that
he submitted we're all that properly
bore on the case. He insisted, how
ever, there was the unavoidable in.
ference" that Mr.. Ballinger had com.
municated in some other way with the
president.
Mr.. Ballinger's lawyer brought out
that the cooperative agreement with
the forest service, which Mr.. Ballinger
discontinued, was not the usual ar
rangement whereby one department
lends it's employees temporarily to an
other, but provided that employees of
the interior department should be un-
der the exclusive control and jurisdic-
ton of the forester.
