THIRTEEN men
PERISH IN NINE
Cl0udburst Near UnIontoWn, r.,
Floods Workings.

Uniontown, Pa, July 25.-Caught
like rats in trap when water rushed
into the manway of Superba No. 2
mine at Evans station, three miles
north Of Uniontown, following a cloud
burst, thirteen men were drowned
and thirty-seven escaped after a most
narrowing experience. The men were
drowned about 1000 feet from the
mouth of the mine, their only avenue
of escape. The majority of the VIC
tins were married and had large fami-
lies. Nearly all were foreigners.
1t is reported that at least one more
victim, an unidentified foreigner, will
be added to the list of dead. He was
passed by other men in the mine when
they escaped, refusing to accompany
them to a place of safety.
The men who escaped were forced
to half swim and half walk to the nit
mouth through water ranging in depth
from their waists to their necks. Many
were knocked down by timbers that
were sent down the mine with great
velocity in the raging current. Several
men were being carried back in the
mine when rescued by their compaa,
Ions, who rtsked their Hvos.

PASS new SUGAR TARIFF
Senate Regulars and proqressives
Join Hands,

Washington, July 1874 Republic
an sugar tariff bill. the first purely
Republican revision measure Of the
present congress, was adopted IN the
senate. Deserving their allies the Re.
publican progressives, by an ironcad
agreement with the regulars, succeed.
ed in passing a tariff reduction bill
which they believe President Taft will
sign II 1t reaches him.
The sugar bill was a compromise be.
tween the Lodge plan, endorsed by
the regular Republicans, and the Bris.
tow bill, behind which the progress.
sives lined up. 1t would cut the pres
ent sugar duty Of $3.50 to $3.50 per
100 pounds; would abolish the Dutch
standards, under which practically no
refined sugar can be imported; and
would abolish the TX cent "refner's
differential," an additional duty on re-
fined sugar, which, it is charged, has
accrued directly to the profit of the
sugar refiners.

Story Of the Vixen's Head That Deco
rates a House In Berlin.
In Berlin, as a tourist turns into the
Heiligengeist, not far from the kali
sers palace, he will see, fixed in niche
in the second story Of the house No
SO, q bust carved in stone. This is
called the "Neidkopf." It represents
4 hideous, harry faced woman, with
snakelike curls Of hair and tongue
sticking out in hooking derision. This
Is the story Of its origin and purpose:
One day almost 200 years ago Fred
erick William Of Prussia, "Old Fritz"
was walking about the streets Of his
city in the shabby, free and easy way
he loved, looking about for some griev-
ance to redress or some load to tighten,
which was an agreeable habit Of this
plain living king. Looking in at win
dow, he was struck by the intent in
dustry Of a. humpbacked goldsmith,
and so the king entered the little shop
for a chat. The result Of this inter
view was dn. order for gold table serv.
Sace for the royal household, which
; made the fortune Of the hunchback.
- Later the king made other visits to
see no wthe work was progressing and
on one Of these occasions noticed a
woman In the window Of the opposite
house, making the most hideous GRIM
aces and pointing a derisive finger at
the little cripple.
what Is the matter with the shrew
oyer there?" asked Frederick William.
1T is envy, your majesty" exclaimed
the goldsmith. "She is the wife of a
rival goldsmith, and ever since your
majesty gave me this order she and
her daughter have not ceased to mock
and degtde ms. ~--,~,1t..a,..- I
- Frederick William, paternal in pun
ishment as we'll as in reward, at once
made inquiries as to the ownership of
the house, wherein this shrew lived.
He found that it belonged to her hus-
band, and therefore reasoned that
there was little likelihood Of the fam
lily moving. This seemed to please
him. he next enlisted the services Of
q sculptor and ordered him to make
the bust Of a woman with the most
shrewish, Xant1ppe like face he could
Imagine. The king then bought and
renovated the house in which the
had his Workshop, present
ed It to him and caused the bust to
be placed conspicuously above the
vorkroom window. Thus whenever
he envious woman across the street
ooked forth from her easement the
1rst thing on which her eyes fell was
his intended portrait of her amiable I
,elf.
For more than 100 years the "Neid-
Eopf," ''spiteful vixen head" as one
would say in English, stood in proud I
reproach to the envious 6
Frau Goldschmied and her descend ,
|nts. 1t afterward mysteriusly dis ,
ppeared, but in 1910 or Whereabouts +
was found again in a forgotten COL f
ection of bric-a-brac. Frederick Will 9
lam Nv. bought the bust for a very
arge price and had it replaced in its
riginal niche, where it stands today. ,

RATE OF WAGES REGULATION

tion than mere wage regulation could

 Wage regulation, in the absence of
 rate regulation. could never, taking in-
 dustry as whole. effect the profits of the capital invested therein. It would make little difference 70 a railroad, for instance. that a gov

 mitted to make corresponding in-
 crease in freight and passenger rates.
 The English mine owners are trem- bling before a form of government control of industry not as significant
 as that to which the railroads of the United States have submitted and
 other enterprises must soon submit Rate control is function of own

The chief opposition to the min!- mum wage bill proposed by Premier Asuuith to govern the compensation of coal workers comes from British business men who believe that the principle if once adopted would soon extend to many other lines of busi- ness. Of this there seems no req sonable doubt.
 Tn this country the principle of rate regulation has been applied to rail- roads and other public service cor porations. The application of rate regulation to the commodities man. fractured by the Steel Trust is all ->ady advocated by some very sub rantial and intelligent men. The lime is not far distant when rate regulation may be applied to all commodities produced by great com binations of capital. There is neith- er time nor disposition at this mo- nent to take up the facts that point In this direction. but anybody who keeps up on current news on econom- ic subjects will have no difficulty in recalling many circumstances that hear on the subject.

PUBLIC EDUCATION

Principal Marcus White of the New Britain State Normal school has re- turned from England with the con- viction that the English plan for training teachers is better than our own. He was especially impressed with the dormitory system which pre- vails abroad. In England the girls those who travel any distance-are not permitted to live at home. They are constantly under school control and are not subjected to the wear and tear of daily journeys by train or troll ley. Prof. White believes that the same system should be adopted in Connecticut.

Spurious Capital Basis For High
 Cost Of Living

Special Correspondence of the Farmer.
 Ry c. H. Tavenner.)
 Washingto ton, March 16-Here is a letter that every American citizen should read. It was addressed to the Progressives of North Dakota by Unit ed States Senator Robert M. LaF'ol- lette:
 Tn 25 years of political struggle I have found one great issue over shad- owing and including all others-the en- croachment of the powerful few on the rights of the many. All the issues of great question. How shall the indi- vidual, the farmer, the worker, and all those who pay tribute, be set free from the unjust exactions of the tariff, the railroads, the money power, and other forms of oppression by special inter- ests?
 '"The combinati tions have unlawfully taken possession of the whole country. They control transportation, manufac- turing, capital and credit, the market price of everything the farmer sells, the wages of men, women and chill dren in the factories and mines, and the market price of everything the n- this control almost entirely under the last two administrations-exc as to a few of the older trusts-notwith- standing the prosecutions for which so much has been claimed.
 When MT. Roosevelt turned the country over to Taft the total capital ization of the trusts and combinations amounted to the enormous total of S31,- 672, ,0000 900, more than 70 per cent. of which was water. Prices were put up on every commodity in common use in order to pay interest and dividends on this fraudulent capitalization. There in lies the secret of the present high cost of living.
 '"The organization of these cOmbina- tions was in violation of the common law, for it was a criminal conspiracy. If, in the early stages of trust fOrma- ton, the executive had used all the power of this great government to en- force the antitrust law, it would have saved the people the payment of hun dreds of millions of dollars wrongful ly taken from them in excessive prices for the necessaries of. life. Now the question is: Can the people free them selves from this power? Can the un- just burden of fraudulent capitaliza- ton be lifted from them? That is the supreme issue.
 'The trusts are scheming to get some action by the government which will legalize their proceedings and sanction their fictitious capitalization. The situation is critical. From the Stand ard Oil and Tobacco trusts decisions of the Supreme court it may be ex- pected that upon the people there will be fastened for all time the speculative capitalization of our public service and business corporations. The time is at will make it everlaStingly impossible for any president, or Congress, or court, to legalize spurious cap:taliza- tion as a basis for extOrtionate prices W. H. Taft is largely responsible for | the conditions above described.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-03-16

may judge. It is one of the straws which show the criticism to which the system of public education is being subjected. The teacher of the fu- ture will be more rigidly trained for her profession. Indeed the teachili. of the future will make severer de- mands on teachers and may even re- quire new pedagogy. The ancient cultural plan of training youth to do nothing in particular and for nothing in particular is beginning to be re. placed with instruction designed to equip it's recipient for some useful work in the world, as we'll as with the health. poise and ideals necessary tc do good work.
