EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
The Wife's Help.


 This is going to be CD an indict- ment CD an explanation and (3) a suggestion for reform. 70
 l. Too many men take upon them m- selves too completely the burden Of financing the family. and therefore fail to carry it successfully and with good grace.
 2. This failure comes too often from lack of patience on the part of the man of the family. Generally he IS willing in the beginning of his mar ried life to explain the details of his business. so far as they affect the family income, and ask his wife to advise with him. Later on, as the business details grow more and more occupied with the household and the children. it is harder for the man to explain and harder for the wife to understand.
 B. It is up to the man to keep his wife informed as to the sources of his income and the prospects for, the future Get up some sort of monthly report system so simple that it can De comprehended at a brief scrutiny.
 Suppose the woman of the family doesn't know anything about your business? It isn't necessary to trou- ble her with details which she would not comprehend. Stick to the essen tials: What did you make last month which can be spent on the home and kids without crippling your earning power for the future? What amount out of that months earnings ought to go. into savings bank, into building and loan association, into any form of money earning investment? you will find, if you are an average man, that, the woman can be of real help

THE CONFERENCES SUCCESS.

Just what was most desired has been accomplished by the conference at the White House concerning the controversy between the employees and the railroads. Not only has it served to straighten out proposed legislation Tor the purpose of reaching a fair set tlement of such disputes but 1t has cleared the way for the immediate passage of the amendment to the Erd man act. which is necessary in order to give the greatest degree of fairness 10 the arbitration of the differences. It now remains for congress to act upon the changes and complete the work which has been so much needed and 70 well started.
 The result of the conference means. from present indications and with fa- rorabie action by congress. that the Threatened strike has been averted It also means that great advance will have been made in behalf of arbitra- ton in general. an admission of the great benefit which exists in such an adjustment Of labor disputes over strikes and a concession to the de- mands or the public. Experience has shown that the Erdman act contained provisions which did not contribute as much as it should to an unbiased adjustment Too much rested upon one man and the restriction in time showed that the big railroad disputes which had been considered could not be heard and decided within its pro- visions. The double purpose of re- moving the delay in congress and an awkward situation between the dis putants has been well served by the conference Now let congress act and ar5ffrarion proceed.

TEST s.4outp BE lMMEpiArE.

There is talk now now of testing the constitutionality of the act ofsthe Pennsylvania legislature in placing a tax on all anthracite coal consumed
 outside of that state. 1t is apparent
 that this will meet with much sym pathy but there should be no delay in bringing such action It is matter which should be determined as soon as possible and 1t would be an tnjus- tice to collect the tax from the users of coal throughout the country and later find that such a tax Is unconsti- tutional. While the state may have intended to place the tax upon the producers, they are cleverly shifting the responsibility for meeting it upon the dealers who in turn will get it from the consumer by raising the price per ton.
 It would be a shame to gather in the toll under such a plan and later find that Pennsylvania had attempted something it could not legally carry out. It is a method of taxation which makes the rest of the country contri- bute heavily to the maintenance of the Pennsylvania state government. There have been cases of somewhat similar nature which have resulted in deci- sions of Inconstitutionalit% because of interference with the freedom of com merce by the states. Whether this situation can be placed in the same category as the Oklahoma oil and the Indiana gas cases should not brook any delay in the interest of those who are to meet the tax. Even though the United States supreme court may decide it legal, it is a harsh method of taxa ton.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
What PIainfield Did.

Mir. Editor: We hear much talk about a safe and sane" Fourth. Plain field boys began with pistols and fire crackers about a week before the Fourth and they celebrated night and day (not emitting Sunday) until Fri day and that day was fairly quiet, ex- cept the picnic in the vacant lot by the big tree and that was a "howling success" Most, if not quite all of the men were drunk and beer and other liquors were sold open " in plain sight of every one passing along the old Plainfield and Providence turnpike. There was q table set with bottles and glasses and surrounded by men playing cards. swearing and using vulgar language that could be heard for quite a distance. Where are the Connecticut blue laws" and the new laws and the constables? Next year give us more patriotism and less rum.

THE BANANA TAX.

Not a little opposition has been stir red up by the proposal to place a duty on bananas in the new tariff sched- ule Just how much the plan of tax ing this fruit five cents a bunch would affect the price to the consumer is dif- ficult to estimate. but it would un- doubtedly influence the trade and send it to other markets and thereby have much greater effect upon the price than the mere tax alone might. To the raisers this tax is serious mat ter.
 When it is considered that the ban ana has important food properties and that the endeavor has been in the tariff revision to reduce the cost of liv- ing it seems to be an act against prom ises when the effort is made to increase the revenue through taxing a fruit which is largely used by the working class throughout the entire year be- cause of it's availability through price. The importation of bananas has great ly increased in recent yearsS and ap- proximately forty-one million punches are brought here each year. It is 8 fruit which is not in competition since it is not grown in this country. It is plainly evident that the mad effort to raise revenue to offset the tariff for-revenue- only policy has caused the democrats to take steps which are against their own promises. The ban ana can hardly be figured as a luxury since ninety-fv five per cent. are con- surned by the poor people and the ad- ditional duty only burdens those peo- pie without protecting any home in- dustrv
