tons are continually arising between the
water company and the settlers, which
can only be settled by united action in
way to secure our contract rights. 1t
has been necessary to appeal to the State

rules were merely declaration by the

GARDNER TO REOPEN
IMMIGRATION FIGHT
Bill Vetoed By President Taft to
Be Again Taken Up By
Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Repre-
sentative A. P. Gardner of Massa-

congress to restrict immigration into

Representative Gardner is a strong
advocate of restricted immigration
and, as a member Of the house i'm
migration committee, he supported in
the sixty-second congress the Dilling-

all immigrants over sixteen years OF
age a literacy test, requiring ability
to read and write in some known

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Of RAILROADS NEAR
Gov. Dunno of Illinois Sees Com.
ing of Federal Owned Rail-
roads Near.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Gover-
nor Dunno Of Illinois favors govern
ment ownership of railways and be-
lieves this solution for the transport
alton problem in this country is in
evitable.
The governor expressed his views
on the subject while visiting the
senate this afternoon.
Movement ownership of rail
roads is inevitable" he said.
I'VE are headed straight that way
and 1 don't. think it will take us long
to arrive. The acceptance of the
principle is closing in upon us on all
sides.
"At the same time I do not believe
in plunging blindly into such a new
policy in this country. 1 would not
have the nation take over the rail-
roads if it should mean the paying
of an exorbitant price based on 6
fictitious value of the properties to b<
acquired.
"Government ownership is the onl,
logical solution of our transporta tio1
problem. The service of the rail
roads is for the people and the PEG
pie are the logical owners and op
orators"

GET READY To FIGHT
ALL FULL CREW BILLS
Wall Street Journal Advises Rail-
roads to Be on Alert Against
Labor Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lin the
last, issue Of the Wall Street Journal
there appeared an editorial which
throws down the gauntlet to the leg
islatives of the various state fedora
lions Of labor. 1t is important that
these committees should be informed
of the prevailing sentiment.
The editorial says: Next January
thirty state legislatures will meet in
regular session, and one Of the sub
jects sure to crop up early is the So
called 'full-creW bill
Thirteen state legislatures have al
ready capitulated to the labor lobby
under Gomperian guidance, entailing
upon the railroads an annual expend-
iture estimated at approximately
100000 a year-and for what
Chiefly to install a supernumerary in
the caboose of a freight train. The
prospect is that this annual hold-up
may have harder shedding this win
ter in both state and federal law
making circles.
THE trouble in the past has been
that the railway organizations sue
ceeded in carrying the day on pleas
! Of public safety and high per cent OF
casualties to workmen.''
Then follows a statement asserting
that the per cent of injured has de-
| clined, and an argument presented
why there should be no more legis-
lauon with reference to the labor
| situation on railroads. The worm
has shifted his position.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
CHRISTMAS CANDIES

-. A young woman Of many resources
and fair culinary skill found herself
facing the problem Of Christmas gift
giving with a very deplated pocket
book. She finally came to the con-
clusion that unless she gave each of
her friends a box of the simple can
dies she knew how to make it would
be impossible for her to remember
Them She made some pretty boxes,
covering them with water color or
Grape paper and decorating them ap-
propriately. Then she gathered her
supplies together and got ready for
work. She put off the making Of the
candy as long as she could in order
that her sweetmeats might be abso-
lutely fresh when presented. She
had her nuts shelled and blanched
ready for use and her simple coloring
matters bought ready for use in adj
vance.
When she began making her can
dies she had a clear fire in the
kitchen range, enameled saucepans, a
smooth Tipped saucepan, shallow tins
in which to pour such candies as car
amels, taffy, butterscotch, etc.; large
flat stoneware platters, clean smooth
wooden spoons. wire candy dipper,
one or two palette knives, strong
pair Of shears, a small flat paint
brush, little olive oil and a good
thermometer. If you wish to know
just what she made and how she
made it note the following recipes
taken from her notebook:
Nut candy.-Two cupfuls sugar,
one-half cupful water. Boil until
thick. Flavor to taste, stir in one cup
! hickory nut meats and pour into a

lated sugar, one cupful boiling water,
three tablespoonful vinegar, butter
! size of walnut. Let boil until it
hardens Immediately when dropped
in cold water. Pull until white. Pour
the lemon essence on while boiling.
Chocolate caramels.-Half a pound
of chocolate, half a cupful of milk,
two cupfuls Of light brown sugar,
one cupful of molasses and a piece of
butter as big as small apple. Cook
for twenty minutes, stirring constant
ly. Pour into a pan and cut into
squares.

strip, three ounces Of butter, one can
of condensed milk, essence of vanilla,

the time. !
Mints-Place in a saucepan two
cupfuls of granulated sugar, one-hal1
cupful of water, one-fourth teaspoon
