THE DANGER OF 1T

The worst feature Of the decision OF
the supreme court Of Idaho in the Cap
ital News contempt cases doesn't lie in
the sending Of three men 10 Jail. The
Herald has no sympathy for she move
ment on the penny ante basis for the
payment Of their fines It has no SYM
pathy for the attempt 10y jealous bull
moosers TO make political capital out Of
the affair. Its objections TO the de-
cisions are based on our utter abhor
renee Of the methods used By the court
IN arriving at its conclusions.
So far as our knowledge extends no
other power in a free government has
ever claimed and exercised the priyi-
leges claimed by the Idaho court in
these cases. II the people have given
the court this power. as it claims. it is
high time for the people 10 get busy
and pass another constitutional amend
ment. revesting that power where it Be
longs-in the people themselves. and in
the people only The idea that any
court can be prosecutor, judge and jury
and can arbitrarily deprive any either
Of his property OF restrain him OF his
liberty, and deny to him the right o
appeal, Is nepugnant TO every theory ol
constitutional government, and has
been so since the promuIgAtion OF the
Magma Charta- The danger 10 cOnsti-
tutional government doesn't lie in the
fact that the defendants in these cases
have been fined and sent to Jail; IL lies
in the usurred power OF the courts to
compass such result
II the people Of Idaho have delegated
to any court Of justice the suthority to
send man to Jail and to conhscste his
property without recourse or right OF
appeal, they should stand ashamed in
the eyes OF modern civilization. No
court could do this act, Ut any other,
unless authorized by the people. from
whom all political power springs. No
halo Of Godly inspiration surrounds the
supreme court OF Idaho 1t is legally
constituted a servant OF the people-noi
their master Il possesses no powers
not delegated BY the people OF Idaho.
1t can do no act thatyOa have not given
it the power 20 perform
The Herald Is not in sympathy with
the action Of the court in these matters,
aud has no sympathy Tor its members
in the eastigation they are receiving
from an outraged people However.
while indulging in anathemss on the
supreme court Of Idaho. let Us be honest
enough to lay the principal blame where
it belougs-On the people themselves
Il you don't want one TO exercise tie
power entrusted to him. don't give il

SUMMER PILLOWS.
They Are Attractive When Matching
the Cretonne Furniture Slips.


Spring and summer call FOR a dis
carding of velvet. damask and tapestry
pillow covers and the replacing with
light, fresh looking covers that can be
Numbered and that fit appropriately
With summer hangings and furniture.
If you have planned to have ere
tonne decorations allow for two or
three yards extra when you order, so
that pillows to match will complete
the attractive idea. These need not be
made entirely of cretonne. They can
be combinations of this material and
any other fabric, preferably plain.
One of the simplest summer slips is
of white or unbleached muslin. edged
with a four inch band Of lowered Gre
tonne or poplin. Long pillows can
have six inch borders at each short
end. The heavier fabric gives a firm
ness at the ends. where most wear is.
Cut out patterns stitched in borders
or muslin or plain poplins make effec-
tive covers. Arrange the stems and
the flowers at the tops, in straight
rows, so that q conventional. old fash
toned border effect will be the result.
The flowers should not reach any high
er than two thirds up, and they should
be about on the same line. Machine
stitching serves to hold down the ir-
regular edges with success.

is marked thus: III. If it is worth
more than face value where could 1
sell it?
The United States silver threecent

WORKING CONDITIONS

Greenfield takes just pride in the
fact that the average of wages paid
in that town is in excess of twice the
average wages paid to male employees
in Massachusetts. And along with the
high wages is found an appreciation
of the fact that something besides
adequate compensation is necessary to
preserve industrial contentment Sew
eral years ago the first step toward
providing for the comfort of employees
was taken, consisting of the establish
ment OF reading rooms. From this
step the plan of providing for the com
fort of factory operatives has steadily
advanced, and at the present time the
larger factories are equipped with
reading rooms where subjects of gener-
al interest may be followed as well as
the particular interests of mechanics,
and with dining rooms where the men
may eat their dinners in as great com
fort as is obtainable in most moderate
priced restaurants. In addition the
are provided with means of entertain
ment for the men, and their comfort
| is administered to by numerous means.
| 1t is doubtful whether there is place
of its size in the country where the
general conditions of factory opera
tives is looked out for with the care
that it is in Greenfield The athletic
interests of the younger men employed
in the factories is matter to which
much attention is paid, and several
of the concerns encourage the develop
assistance for the baseball teams con
nected with the shops The men en-
ployed in three of the factories which
are managed by one corporation are
given a day Is outing each year, when
all the expenses of a days excursion
are met by the employers, and in
these factories when overtime work
has to be done the men are provided
with suppers at the expense of the
employers.
The result Of the policy which has
been pursued is that a greatly inereas-
ed interest in the affairs and success
of the employers is to be observed on
the part of the employees. The amount
of the output of the concerns which
have followed this method has increas.
ed very materially and the loyalty OF
the employees has developed to degree
out of proportion to the expenditure
for their comfort. The most recent
Improvement in the matter of dealing
with the labor question to be under
taken in Greenfield is the installation
of new method of supervision of the
help in some of the factories, which
is similar to the "honor system il
force in many educational institutions
Under this system the men are lefr
largely to supervise the amount OF
, their own production and the factory
boss is done away with entirely
The results of this plan are likely tt
be an increase in the efficiency of tn,
men employed, since their own al
vancement and the prosperity of tn,
concern which employs them is left ii
their own hands, with each man hi

The Work of Cleaning These Necessary
Articles Made Easy.
Those who have to clean knives
would find their work much lightened
If they warmed the knife board before
using it.
Stains on knives can be instantly re-
moved if rubbed with a piece OF raw
potato dipped in brickdust or knife
powder.
Knives that have been used for on
ions can be rid of the taste IF the
blades are run two or three times
through a raw potato. =
Handles that have become 1ooses can
be refixed by half filing the hole with
resin and quicklime. equal parts. Then
heat the blade and insert it in the hole.
A knife board on which the original
leather has worn off can be renewed
by fixing a piece of plain good linoleum
In the place of the leather.
Ivory handled knives, if discolored,
should be cleaned with lemon juice
and salt To repolish the ivory scour
it with the finest sandpaper, make
paste of whitening and oil and apply
with a piece of flannel, rubbing it well
|
and polishing with lightly oiled linen
rag.
Bone handles should be sandpapered
and polished and pearl handles clean
ed by rubbing with a soft cloth dipped
in fine salt. Polish with a chamois

Reserve knives can either be oiled
! and wrapped in brown paper before
| being put away or busted with finely
powdered quicklime and wrapped in

rs there would be no suspicion of an
oily taste if the knives were suddenly

Special knives should always be kept
for onions, bread and for hot fat. The
two latter will make the sharpest knife

Summer Writing Materials.

Those who enjoy writing summer
notes out of doors will delight in the
small pads of pale tinted note paper
designed for this purpose. They are
to be had in two sizes. The paper is
smooth and of good quality, the hard
back and cover of the pad exactly
matching the tint of the paper. A pen
Gil is attached to the side of each pad
which also matches it and has top
of glass In the same color Such pads
make pretty bon voyage gifts, although
they are priced at only 81 and 80 cents
each.

There. is at present in the District
of Columbia a man who is so enthu-
siastic over the kind of men that Yer
mont produces that he has been given
space in the newspapers to sing her
praises. His name is Edward Blaine
and he is employed at the government
Printing office. 1t seems that Blaine
was spectator in the criminal court
recently when a young man by the
name of Stewart started to Hshoot
up the court room and he was the
first to grapple with the man, taking
his gun from him. just before Justice
Stafford left for Vermont he wrote
Blaine letter commencing him on his
brave action, and it is for this CRATE
full act of appreciation that Blaine is
full of his praises for all Vermonters.

book has been printed and can be
secured by writing to any member OF
the Vermont delegation in Congress.
The new volume contains Isl pages.
60 half-tone plates, 10 photographic
plates and 10 test figures. As the
form of the book is prescribed by law
there is little variation from year to
year in its general form and STYLE. 1t
contains the report of the secretary for
the fiscal year 1912, and p special
articles relating to subjects of general
interest which have received special
consideration during the year by ex-
perts in the respective bureaus of the
Department, and which have not here
tofore been published. These subjects
are not treated with exhaustive detail,
as the articles are restricted in length
in order that the number might be in
creased and wide range of informa-
ton covered.
