THE HARD COAL DECISION.

George F. Baer. president OF the
Reading road and leader Of the hard

hard coal trust has been dissolved
comes the information that Reading
stock took an immediate advance and
the best authorities on hard coal
prices sta ed there would be no reduc-

In other words. the supreme court
after finding that there had been a
combination in restraint OF trade. rem.
dered a decision which does not de.

Standard oil decision the people had

The state OF Georgia, the Public re-

states senate against the proceedings
OF congress in submitting to the
states the constitutional amendment
for popular election OF United States
senators without a two-thirds vote Of

had adopted this amendment by "a TO

thirds of the entire senate. But the
house had adopted It by vote OF 23S
to SO. with 115 not voting and va
cancies-an Affirmative vote OF %, less
than two-thirds OF the entire house
The question raised turns upon the
point OF whether the constitutional
requirement OF "two-thirds Of both

tire membership or only two-thirds OF
a quorum. That Il means the former
Is the contention Of Georgia.

When pa came home the other night ma
had a paper there
That told about a husbandette somebody
had somewhere;
Ma tried to not let on at first she'd read
about the case,
But pa picked up the sheet and saw where
she had marked the place;
She watched him while he read 1t
through; before that I'd of bet

He laid the paper down at last and glared
And lifted up his eyebrows in a very
naughty style.

said to ma, at last;
you'd better change your habit, and
you'd better change it fast!
At homes a decent woman's place-just
keep that in your mind;
These suffragettes are a disgrace to gen.
tie womankind."
Ma stood and listened patiently, without
a word to say,
Till pa got almost out of breath. and let
He said If women ever won the right to
He'd think the ship of state had got to be

And all the time he talked the worse his
anger seemed to get;
You could have seen he had no use for
any suffragette.
At last when ma could get a chance she
started in to speak;
I couldn't tell you all she said II l would
take q week:
She told US how pa had forgot to register
last fall.
And when he tried to interrupt she
wouldn't stop at all;
She picked the paper up where pa had
flung it on the floor,
And read about men selling vote-and
then she talked some more.
| She asked pa what he'd ever done to
show that he was great,
And spoke about the night before when
he was out so late;
/ She told us she could tell some things pa
didn't know she knew;
4 He kind of shrunk down in his chair and
seemed to tremble, too,
! And when the argument was done pas
brow was kind of wet;
! Since then, somehow. it looks as though
he was a husbandette.

vote cast for Taft and Roosevelt was
less than the total republican vote in
1908. Taft's 1912 vote was 3,4s4,9SO
and Roosevelt's was 4,119.53S. To
gether they polled 7,6O4,51S, which
falls 1880 under Taft's total of 1873
90S four years ago.
Even the prohibitionists suffered
from apathy. Their vote in November
was only O6,275, compared with esq.,
$40. This loss of 47.565 is nearly one
fifth OF the 1908 total.
1t is cited as a curious fact that
with the exception Of New Hampshire
all the New England states cast more
votes in 1912 than in 1908. The Mid
| die states of New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania cast fewer votes in
1912 than in 1908. Ohio, Indiana, ILL.,
Dois. Wisconsin, Nebraska and Iowa
also took less interest in the 1912 cam
paign than in the 1908 campaign. The
same is true Of the border states, Ken
/ lucky, Tennessee and Missouri
There is no uniform rule applying
to the south. Alabama, for example,
cast more votes THAI in 1908 and Geor-
gia cast fewer votes. Texas showed
a large increase and South Carolina
a large decrease, while Virginia.
slump was exactly 20 votes and Okla
homa's was 839.
The mountain states all showed an
increase. Colorado, Utah, Wyoming
Montana and Idaho cast more votes
than they did in 1908. BY reason OF
woman's suffrage California's votes
should have doubled, but It's 1917
vote was only 673,527 as against 1886,
597 in 1908. Apparently nearly 100000
qualified citizens Of California re
manned away from the polls.
The most significant fact in all
these returns is the increase and dis
tribution of the socialist vote. 1t II
not a sectional vote. for the banner so
cialist states in this election were
Ohio, Pennsylvania. Illinois, Califor
mia, New York, Oklahoma, Washing
ten, Indiana, Wisconsin and Missouri
in the order named, while in Idah,
more than 10 per cent OF the tota
vote was socialist.

Democratic members of the Illinois
house must focus their attention and
concentrate their energies upon some
one desirable candidate for the speak
ership. Incipient candidates of the re-
ceptive sort have sprung up mush-
roomlike in many parts of the state.
A number of earnest, able patriotic
democrats have expressed a willing
ness to be speakers, among them
conspicuously being the Honorable w
A. Hubbard of Carrolltoh, Greene
county, and the Honorable John Hus-
ton of Blandinsville, McDonough coun-
ty. Each of these has a following of
group Of admirers as have several
others who are actuated by no other
than public-spirited motives. But
while the mention of these respective
candidates has given democrats rea
son to rejoice in the desirability OF
the material available, the fact re
mains that the multiplicity of candi
dates and near-candidates leaves the
situation chaotic.
There is lamentable absence of or
ganization. No definite pan of pro
cedure has been evolved, and as the
crisis approaches there is growing
confusion because of lack of concen.
trated effort. After careful study OF
the situation, AID after consultation
with a number of democrats in vari

While this does not seem Just the
season of the year for refrigerator
advice. still there are many families ii
the city who are obliged to keep the
refrigerator in the kitchen and must
take ice winter and summer
Again, our climate changes so sud-
denly from cold to warm and back
again, that it is usually economy TO
take the ice, with the lower rate in
the winter months for ice. Especially
is this true OF milk and butter as they
are very susceptible to change of tenn
perature. Ice will not melt as rapid
ly as Ia the summer, so two or three
times a week will probably answer for
the fall, winter and spring months for
| ice.
Some Alphabetical Suggestions.
A REFRIGERATOR ALPHABET.
A wise choice Of refrigerator has
much to do with the satisfaction of
having perfectly kept food during
any season.
| Beware of waste pipes connecting
with sewer or plumbing.
Clean, scald and cool the drain pipe
and shelves at least once a week.
Do not stand refrigerators in cellars
nor in strong draughts, but in as
light and cool place as possible.
Economic on ice by keeping the re
frigerator filed. You will then have
the benefit of the greatest cooling
capacity of your refrigerator all the
time; otherwise with a little added
every day or every other day, the
temperature will never be very low
and things will not keep as well.
Food should be carefully looked over
and so far as possible placed in GOV
cred dishes before going into the ict
box.
Germs are good friends of an ill-kcp
ice box and must be continual.
fought.
Hot sal-soda water and soda is idea
for the weekly scalding.
Ice should be rinsed and CAREFUL,
placed in the ice chamber; water il
bottles may be placed here.
Joints and hinges must be strong an
reliable; a loosely hung door is re
sponsible for much waste of ice.
Keep butter and milk covered on tn
topmost shelf, that they may hav
no opportunity to absorb odors.
Innings OF porcelain or enamel ar
the best; such surfaces are smooth
easily kept clean and do not absor
. odors.

construction; it remains for the
housekeepers to see that there are
no careless leakages.
Never allow an ice box to be washed
by Simply pouring hot, soapy water
through it; ordinary soap should

Innings are alone permissible.
Only eternal vigilance will keep the
most expensive variety in a sanitary
condition, and with such care the
cheapest grade may be satisfactory
from the standpoint of health.
Porcelain-lined refrigerators can be
washed as easily as china, and while
the first cost of such a box may be
greater, their arrangement seems
nearly perfect for keeping food

Refrigeration should not be defeated

NEW RAILROADS WHERE THEY
ARE NEEDED.

The passing year. though prosper
Gus and active in trade and industry,
has been marked by a lean record In
railroad building. The railroad COM
panies of the United States have spent
great deal of money in strengthen
ing their organization and increasing
their facilities for doing business,
but they have put it into cars and
yards, stations and locomotives, rath.

track has been laid but it has been
the rebuilding of established lines
and improving roads already ia opera
ton.
The explanation, OF course, Is that
the country is already so covered with
railways, except in certain limited
sections, that there is little need of
important extensions or of the build
ing of new roads. The record Of 1912
shows that in some of the richest,
most prosperous and progressive
states hardly any new mileage has
been built this year This is true of
Ohio, New York, Illinois, Massachu-
sets, New Jersey, Indiana, Michigan,
Missouri and Wisconsin. Even r-1r
younger states like Colorado, Utah.
South Dakota and Oregon have done
very little railroad bui ding.
The new lines and the extensions
of old roads are most numerous in the
south, including certain states of the
southwest, such as Arizona and Okla.
bona There are 20 states in every
one OF which more than so miles OF
new track has been built and IL OF
them are in the southern part of the
couatry. Ten states have built more
than 100 miles Of new road apiece, and
Of these six are in the south, includ
[ ing the southwest
In other words, the railroad build
/ ing OF the country is going on in the
( right place. II is aiding in the devel
opment Of the sections which are. least
/ supplied with transportation facilities
aad have the greatest undevelopeC
resources awaiting the creative touch
OF capital and labor For the same

ada is rising nearly to the level o

difference between the two countrie,
in population, wealth and habitabl'
area. The dominion has need of the

them, without running the risk Of lay
