COMMISSION DECIDES OGDEN
GATEWAY CASE IN FAVOR
OF UNION PACIFIC.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion last week settled one of the most
important passenger rate controver-
sizes which 1t has ever been called
upon to review, when it handed down
its decision In the Ogden Gateway
case.
In 1914 the Union Pacific System
announced its intention to discon.
tinue the interchange with the D. &
r. G. at Ogden of passenger business
to or from points on the Oregon
Short Line-a part of the, Union Pa
cific System. The D. &. r. G. con-
tended that as these rates had been
in effect about eighteen years they
should not be cancelled. The Union
Pacific stood upon what it regarded,
as its legal right to retire from an
arrangement which short-handed its
own lines and contended that it was
entitled to the long haul on passen-
ger traffic to and from territory serv-
ed by the Oregon Short Line. The
principal reason assigned being the
large expenditures made by the Union
Pacific in the construction of branch
lines-particularly to Yellowstone
Parl; and in Oregon Short Line terri
tory, the testimony indicating that in
recent years slG9,000,000 were ex-
pended in the construction Of
branches for the purpose of enabling
the Unicn Pacific to serve Idaho and
adjacent territory. while the ID &. r.
G. on the other hand had not invest
ed dollar in Oregon Short Line ter
ritory.
Commissioner Harlan in announc-
ing the majority opinion of the COM
mission, says:
"In addition to the shorter mileage
the service of the Union Pacific In
point of time is much superior. The
fastest train over its rails from
Omaha reaches Ogden in IS hours
end 50 minutes less time than the
over any other route in connection
with the D. {; R. G."
"The situation before us is very
practical one. The Denver and Rio
Grande route as hereinbefore pointed
out. is longer by nearly 400 miles,
and is 10 hours longer in point OF
time. Under such circumstances. II
no through route were now open, an
order based on the record before us.
requiring the Unicn Pacific System to
short haul Itself by establishing the
present parity Of fares over the Den
YER and Rio Grande would be illog-
ical and arbitrary in the highest de-
gree It would be no less so should
we undertake to exercise onr power
under the same provision of law by
compelling the Union Pacific to con
tinue rate adjustment which We
could not lawfully require it to es|
tabllsh as an original question"

TODAY'S POEM
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
~~~

Two roads dfverged in yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveller, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth. Then took the other, as just as far, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted
 wear,
 as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, marked thef1 rst for another
 day!
 Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if should ever come back. shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence; Two roads diverged in a wood ( and l. I took the one less travelled by, And that has made all the difference.

 SUFFRAGE NEWS


 The annual convention of the Con- necticut Woman Suffrage Association will be held this year in Hartford. The convention. is always held towards the end of October, but the exact date was left open by the executive board at it's meeting last Wednesday when it had agreed on the place of meeting. Committees were appointed to attend to all details in connection with the convention and when the matter of speakers for the evening meeting has been arranged, the date of the con- vention will be announced and the calls issued. The convention was held in Hartford both last year and the year before. In 1912 it was held in New Haven, in 1911 in Bridgeport and in 1910 in Greenwich. It has now become the custom to hold it in Hartford because the state headqua.r- ters are in this city and it is more convenient to hold the convention where these headquarters are avail able.
 There was a large attendance at the board meeting last Wednesday, as the members of the board are now re- turning from their summer homes and are settling again to work The board continues it's monthly meetings right through the summer. Those in July and August were held at F'enwick. at the summer home of Mrs. George H. Day. This was for the convenience not only of Mrs. Day and Mrs. Hep burn who both spend their summers in Fenwick, but also of Mrs. Stod- dard and Mrs. Frederick Spencer who were them at Madison and GuilfOrd, and of Miss Katherine Ludington, whose home is at Lyme.
 In San Francisco all this week @ great convention of women voters has been in session. It was organized by the Congressional Union and it's object was to find ways and means of using the women's vote in twelve states of the Union to push 9, fedeS&.I amendment to the United States Con stitution. It is the hope of the women that the amendment will be passed during the coming session of Congress One reason for hoping that this may be done is that there will be a, presidential election in 1916, at which it is of the utmost importance to both parties to secure the votes for the women If the Susan B. Anthony amendment has been passed by Con gress, it will be eliminated AsE a na- tionaI issue, because the question will then, be before the state legislatures. If the women voters are determined to put suffrage first they may greatly embarrass both great political par ties, and the only way to remove the embarrassna ent will be for the parties to agree to pass the amend 1nernt and so get rid of the issue This is the opinion of many of the Repub-s iican members of Congress, and it is coming to be regarded as more and more probable that it will be gener- ally adopted by politicians.

HUSBAND SHOULD
 PROTECT HER
Dear Miss Libbex:-

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 Kindly advise me what to do. am married four years. My husbands family never did. like me. Since last year they succeeded in turning my husband against me. He insults me, calls me names that go right to my heart. Discouraged, I tried to end all of remarks about me They have much influence over him. He doesn't care what they do to me say to me. If one of my friends comes to see me that they don't like he wants to put them out. I am without friends now. My husband works until Il at night. If he stays out late ask him please to try and, come home soon as possi- ble; that am alone in the house. He answers: eff you don't like the way I'm doing, quit.'' That he's sorry. he married me. If he were to sever my heart, he could not hurt me more.
 Please tell me what to do. I have no relatives could go to. I've stood so much; he never says a kind word, calls me boy face; that it's good the way his sisters treat me. If I only had some one to protect, take me away Am tired of all. I worked be- fore I married. My heart was happy. My heart is broken. I will do some thing that I should not do. Please an- swer soon.
 We all know that it is darkest just before day in life. Write him an ear nest, appealing letter Have a heart to-heart talk if possible with him. Do and return to you, as a better man. By reflection, he may see his folly. Keep up good heart. Happier days are coming.

FRESH BEEF TONGUE.

Fresh beef tongue is one of many stronghoIds for Sunday dinner It costs about half, as much as smoked variety and goes further. Soak over night in strong salt wa4er. Cook the next morning in plenty of water well salted. A half cupful> of cooked rice added to this water gives a delicious broth for both lunch and dinner on Saturday, On. Sunday the tongue sliced cold, accompanied by a jelly or sauce suffices for dinner and tea; and sometimes cut out from around the roof of the tongue enough scraps of meat to fill a few sandwiches or use in Icroquettes or hash for Mondays

VEAL.

Veal. while not so generally popu- lar as beef, offers many opportunities nomica1 meat dishes. It has to be wholesome, and it does not keep as we'll as beef before cooking. owing to it's peculiar juices. To be in per- lection it should be a, light pink in color and the meat heavy.
 All veal bones are valuable to make the white stock foundation, so they should be used and not thrown away, the marketer taking them from the butcher after he has sboned a piece Of veal for her, instead of leaving them to be sold again.
