ToHana Train Wreckers,

The sole crime punishable by death
in the state is deliberate and premed-
itated murder or the killing of human
being in the perpetratfon or attempt to
perpetrate any arson, rape robbery or
burglary. The killing OF any number
Of human beings by deliberately
throwing a moving train off the track
will not cause the man convicted of
this offense to lose his life. The house
at Harrisburg thinks evidently this is
q mistake, for it has passed on second
reading, without dissenting vote, a
bill making train wrecking which re-
suits in loss OF life punishable by
death.
Though the general tendency of the
present day is to restrict rather than
extend the application Of the death
penalty, no valid objection can be made
to including killing caused by train
wreehing in the list Of homicides for
which life is to be forfeited. SO long
az we have capital punishment for
wi1ful murder the train wrecker who
destroys life should receive the PEN
atty. graver crime can hardly be
conceived than the deliberate wreck
ing OF rapidly moving train carry
ing human beings The slaughter is
uStially Wholesale, while the manning
and. suffering caused are unmeas ured.
Al man capable Of such a crime is
too wicked to live.-Philadelphia Press.

The Builntin commends to the at
tention Of liz readers THE Farmer's
letter upon the proposed reciprocity
treaty with Canada. While he is an
able ana loyal Granger, he does not
like the way i'm which the National
Grange oflicers have tried to commit
the Grange against the policy Of the
administration without paying any at
tentien to those members who are in
faver Of the neiolEborly trade which
suuh . treaty will promote. The Farm
ct takes a broad view of the matter
and presents = few facts and figures
just to show some of the advantages
Of this policy, which he interprets ~
likely to prove beneficial to the great
est number.
The Bulletin knows The Farmer has
been loyal republican and protec-
ZIONIST from the start, and that he Is
now standing for what he believes to
be for the best interest of the repub-
lican party and the country at large
He recognizes the right of every Gran
ger to take any position he sees d1t
upon the subject, but he is decidedly
opposed to any misrepresentation OF
the Changers, or any political tactics
to wheel them into line in body
against wise policy from purely self
ish purposes.

1t is generally believed that the

will spoil their fair prospects for 1912.

To undertake general revision Of

Of the country, throwing the working
classes out Of employment and bring
ing them to want, is not the way to
the White house.
In view Of the fact that Speaker
Clark, by his utterances upon the reci-
procfty treaty embarrassed the govern

sr referred to 1t, does not indicate that
he can be relied upon to show any

SUNDAY MORNING TALK

My husband Keeps asking, When

The speaker was a buxom, genial

Of the bid -time sociability around
the ffreside in the days before the wife
had her fingers in so many pies.
This was country woman. Her city
sister is another type of the restless,
ubiquitous woman OF the period. Her
activities may be quite outside or
church circles and include round of
social gaieties, the participation in a
number Of clubs with perhaps just a
dash of pl1ffanthropic work TO sa1ve her
conscience. Possibly her sJl1sband, too,
grows hungry for her ctsnpanionship,
and maybe the children see more Of
their nurses than they do Of the one
who bore them, reminding US of the
famous cartoon of a small boy crying
on the doorsteps of his own home, who,
when asked why he didn't go in, said:
1.-THE door is locked. Nobody is at
home. Ma is at mothers meeting .
But this mania for going somewhere
is not confined to one sex. It is char
acteristic of our stirring, progressive
times, when the majority of people
have more engagements than they can
probably meet, when they fit from one
entertainment to another, when they

an incident, a method a mere proceed

go to things simply because others are
going and you don't want to lose any
thing others may be getting, to go to
things simply to keep moving is to alb
rogate the functions Of choice, of nice
discernment between what is worth
while and what is trivial. People who

good, and between the better and the

When "soing to thinssv destroys our

constantly for highly seasoned viands,
something is the matter with his dd
gestion or is going to be the matter
with it ere long. When you have ex-
hausted the ability Of a good book, of
quiet hour OF meditation, of a ser
vice in church, or q walk alone or with
a choice companion through lovely
woods to yield you real enjoyment.
something is the matter with your

THE APRON OVERSIGHT.


The new apron o%verskirt is easily
made. With heavy ace and embroid-
cry, bought by the yard. and a few
yards of fine white cotton stuff, d
pretty up-to-date costume is easily
achieved. The skirt, of the hin ma
terial, is made short or trailing a little
in the back. A breadth of the lace,
perhaps twenty inches wide and long
enough to fall a little below the knees,
is draped IN front to fall perfectly
straight and plain. The apron at the
back, of the same width, is longer,
falling nearly to the hem of the M
derskirt. For the finish of the raw
edges of it nothing is more effective
than a narrow ribbon of white linen.
and in some cases an inch wide black
velvet ribbon is Used. The corsage is
all of white net or valenciennes lace,
and over it is worn a sleeveless bolefc
of the lace Of the apron. If the apron
is hemmed with black the belt or sash
is black also; If with white, the ribbon
accessories are of plaided or dull-toned
colors.
