BATTLESHIP MAINE AT LAST

At last, the battleship Maine viii be

a bill making provision Tor its removal.

the sunken warship viii be insured
1t has now been twelve years and
more since the fateful disaster which
sent the Maine 10 the bottom, which
stirred up the people of this country
to fighting pitch. which was the imme-
date cause Of the war with Spain, a
war which brought Us the Philippines

UNCLE SAM ISSUES A NEW
COOK BOOK.

Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson has
issued a cook book. It promises 70 be
the most popular book of the year, cir
culating far ahead of the seasons best
sellers. It is entitled Economical Use
of Meats in the Home It has been
carefully prepared by experts Of the
department, and in it detailed and
carefully tested information is given as
to how to make the best use of the
poor cuts of meat, so as to make them
tasteful and get plenty Of nourishment
out of them.
The experts have found that the
cheaper cuts of beef, such as the
brisket, and chuck rib, the flank, and
the neck. are about as rich In food sub
stance as are the more expensive cuts.
| One does not have to eat sirloin and
porterhouse in order to get material
on which to build up the tissues Of the
body. Nor is it true, according to the
experts, that the higher priced cuts
have the best favors-
Secretary Wilson's cook book demon
s-rates so thoroughly as to be beyond
dispute that it is possible, by intelli-
gent cooking of meats, to save much
that is now thrown into the garbage
can. as well as to make the cheaper
cuts palatable Scarcely any scrap OF
a cut of meat, including bones, rs there

SPECULATIONS AS TO ROOSE-
VELT'S PRIVATE FORTUNE.

The curiosity of the public as TO
what Colonel Roosevelt viii do, after
the tumult and the shouting, to keep
the wolf from the door has been graft
fed by a glance at his private fortune
and his future prospects, apart from
political considerations An expert
enccd New York correspondent Is re
sponsible for the statement that
Colonel Roosevelt's personal income
when he became President of the
United States was not more than $1,000
n wear. and IL has been said that his
African expedition has practically eX-
hausted such funds as he was able
to set aside from his salary as Chief
Executive of the United States.
There seems to be no doubt among
his intimates that before an assassin's
bullet at Buffalo changed the course
of history Colonel Roosevelt looked
forward to a life Of literary eudcavor
and. strange as it may seem, that
the strenuous one still prefers the
writing of history and adventure tC
the making thereof.
There Is renewed interest, therefore

STATE ARBITRATION PROVES
ITS WORTH IN ILLINOIS.

Through the decision of the Illinois
State board of arbitration, railroad
switchmen OF Chicago Will obtain an
increase in wages of two cents an hour,
with an allowance for overtime, and
an agreement whereby a hearing Will
be given prior to dismissals from the
service.
In their appeal for higher wages, the
switchmen contended that the increased
cost of living made their pay in
adequate. They asked for an advance of
three cents an hour, but it is reported
that they are satisfied with the de-
cision Of the State board.
Naturally the railroad corporations
upon which the decision is binding are
not satisfied with the ruling, insisting
that the present pay of the men il
liberal.
That is not the point 1t is to bc
expected that in the initial working ot
State boards of arbitration. decision.
cannot be reached which VIII be wholly
satisfactory to opposing interests. Th'
real merit in the result Is that, not
withstanding their expressions of dis
satisfaction, the railroad companie
accept the decision as final"
This happy outcome of a demand
which. under different circumstance
might have provoked a costly strike
gives proof Of the merits Of officis
arbitration. What has been accom-
plished in Illinois affords a valuabl
suggestion TO other States.

SIXREGULARS NAMED ON THE
RULES COMMITTEE

The House Republicans have held
their caucus for the selection of the six
members which the majority will have
On the Rules Committee. Six regulars
were chosen-Representatives Dalzell,
Smith of Iowa. Lawrence Of AIassa-
cnu~ct.s, Fassett Of New York, Smith
of California. and Boutel Of III nois.
The caucus was reasonably peaceful,
at least in outward seeming. The in
surgents attended, and they announced
they would abide by the results of the
caucus. The slate prepared by the
regular leaders went through. Speaker
Cannon seemed to take no part in the
proceedings. Bat 1t needs only a glance
at tie names of the men who will com
pose the majority side of the Rules
Committee TO see that his close friends
dominate 1t.
The insurgents did not make an or
ganized attempt, OF anything ike a
real fight to get a man on the Rules Com

wisdom. The regulars would have been
more polite If they had allowed one

on them a measure of the respolsi

tee. Some of them. at least, prefer tC

It will he worth while to watch tn
outcome of this caucus action in plac

regulars to concede nothing to the in
surgents does not augur well for futur
> harmony. It indicates pretty clearl,
that the regulars have not vet full,
learned the lesson which was admins
tered last week. and that 1t may b
