Mr.. Rea critcises the fun crew law,
which the railroads are nor, seeking to
have repealed in the States where 1t

GOVERNOR BRUNIBAUGH NAMES
SHOEMAKER FOR JUDGE

Death of Judge Kinsey.

William II. Shoemaker, of this city, was
nominated by Governor Brumbaugh last
night to be a Judge of Court of Com
mon Pleas No. l, succeeding the late
Judge John l.. Klnsey The term TO be
filled expires January 8, 1916
Mr.. Shoemaker is a member OF the
Board of Viewers. He acted as a private
adviser to Governor BrumbauEh when the
Governor was Superintendent of Schools
As he has never taken an active part i'm
political affairs his appointment Is re-
garded as an indication of the inde-
pendent attitude of Governor Brumbaugh.
1t has been expected that Thomas d.
Finletter, one of the Judges under the
five Judges act" two years ago, might
be named by Governor Brumbaugh. As
he also is n personal friend of the Gov
ernor it is believed he will be appointed
to the vacancy caused by the retirement

PROSPERITY DEMANDS
GOVERNMENT CONTROL

sion should be clearly extended to the
supervision and control of all rates and
practices which directly affect interstat te
transportation of commerce, and should
include power to maintain a rate structure
approved by or satisfactory to it, even
though to accomplish this it should be
necessary to prevent reductions i'm rates
or to compel advances Of rates found by
the Commission to be unreasonable low.
An unreasonably low rate may be bene-
ficlal to some one or more shippers but
the rates of some other shippers are sure
to be disadvantageously affected thereby
"The services of the commission should
be made available to remedy the con-
cededly inadequate revenues of the rail-
roads for the transportation of mails and
parcel post, and the power of the COM
missions, State and Federal to suspend
increases in rates should be limited, so
as to prevent loss of revenue to the rail-
roads during the suspension of rates sub
sequently determined to be reasonable.
Increases in wages and other burdens
which seriously enlarge railroad expenses
should not be imposed by legislation, or
through awards of Government bodies
unless the ability Of the railroads to pay
the same under the rate schedules then
in effect is clearly apparent, or unless the
Interstate Commerce Commission is pre-
pared to approve of increases in the rate
schedules that will enable the railroads
to meet the same without impairment of
their credit or efficiency.

BoTH SIDES DEFENDERS.

The report did not attempt to fix,
definitely, responsibility for the battles
between strikers and military and mine
guards In Colorado. 1t stated both sides
were guilty of 'lawlessness. That the
militia appeared partial to the coal
operators and some members were guilty
of brutality, was asserted
The majority report finds:
The day of settling strikes by violence
Is past
II labor wars do not cease. Congress
may be forced to regulate the coal min
ing industry as 1t does transportation.
CThis is intlmated in the report.)
The Colorado operators had brusquely
refused all arbitration overtures.
The operators did not combine in re-
straint of trade by limiting output
PeonaGe of miners Is not fully proven.
Machine guns. deputies and strike
breakers were imported into Colorado.
Many men were thrown into Jail by the
militia and denied civil rights to be heard
and tried.
Juries had been packed with deputy
sheriffs.
The report denounces the system of
private mine guards.
ROCKEFELLER DISCUSSED
Regarding Rockefeller. the majority re-
port said:
I'VE find citizens of far and distant
states financially and otherwise inter-
ested ia this struggle. Mr.. Rockefeller
disclaimed responsibility. Absentee
owners or directors cannot escape their
moral responsibility for conditions in and
about properties in which they are inter-
ested,
Mr. Rockefeller said he would not
agree to arbitration for the reason that
he was fighting for a great principle,
and would sacrifice all his property for
hn ngiV nj aF 30 1.
TO work for whom he pleases and on such
terms as best suit the worker Mr..
Rockefeller should remember that for so
years there has been the fercest strug-
gle among the workers in the mines of
Colorado. He may win a strike by
starvation under the false banner OF
liberty for the worlSingman, but we do
not believe he can maintain peace under
such conditions as exist In that State
We believe he did not desire to arbi-
trate and in that way end this strike and
one must conclude he would rather spend
the money of the company for guns, pay
OF detectives and mine guards and starve
the strikers into submission.
"On the other hand, the miners went be-
yond the rights of law-abidlng citizens
and committed acts of violence. They al
ways, however, seemed willing to en-
deavor to settle the dispute by arbitra-
ton"
MTLITIA's BRUTALITY"
Regarding the milita's action. the ma
tority report declared:
'Some of the mnitamen seized the on
portunity to engage in lawless acts In
other instances there were acts of an i'm
moral kind unfit for publication. De-
fenseless women and children did not es-
cape the brutality of some members of
the military organization. Many people
were thrown into foul and miserable cells
and kept there for days without any op-
portunity to prove their innocence.
1T seemed the militia was on the side
OF the operators.
"The attack on the Berwind camp was
violence became greater until men
on either side seemed to have little re-
gard for the taking of human life or the |
destruction Of property"

To Preserve Silk

Silk would frequently wear longer,
in dresses and other garments, if it
were differently cared for when not
in use. More than any other fabric
it has the faculty of growing thin in
spots where it is most often folded or
pressed, and this fact accounts for
mysterious holes that appear when
least expected.
A petticoat or dress of it should al
ways be hung. 1t is the greatest mis-
take to lay away any such garment
in a drawer, even though it may have
plenty of room there, and no weight
on top. The creases which it naturally
takes cause the material to weaken
and when there comes the pressure Of
wearing the fabric will go before its
time.
A handsome silk petticoat or dress
which is not worn often should not
only be hung on two hooks, spreading
the garment at the waist, but at least
once a week it should be taken down,
gently shaken, and again hung, when
it will fall into slightly different folds.
All dampness should be kept from 1t,
for silk rots from it's effect.

Take Time for Rest

AS a rule, women who lead active
lives are too much inclined to disre.
gard the subject of their health. AS
long as they can go on with their daily
round of duties they do not stop to
inquire the reason why they are fire.
quently troubled with headache, indi-
gestion, or sleeplessness, and that they
take their petty worries more to heart
than was formerly the case. In fact
they fail to recognize that their powers
of physical endurance have limit,
and that a continual strain of mind
and body cannot go on forever. A
woman, whether she is burdened with
social duties, home duties, or remun-
erative occupation, can generally, by
the exercise of a little thought and
management, avoid overtaxing her
strength. She should remember the
greater the tax on the mental and
physical energies the more need there
is for sufficient rest, not only in the
form of sleep, but in such recreation as
will divert her thoughts into another
channel, and produce a sense of in
vigoration.

The Lot of the Minister'S Wife

One often hears woman say,
"Well, l wouldn't be the wife of min
lister for anything in the world" The
semi-official position that the minis
ters wife holds gives her a degree
Of publicity that few women have, and
at the same time makes her the target
of criticism, the sort of criticism that
is not always discriminating or kind.
The Rev. DR.. Robert Watson, in assum-
ing the pastorate Of the Scotch Pres
byterian Church in New York City,
took occasion to say in a newspaper
interview that "the mistress Of the
manse has more to do with the sue
cess of a pastorate than the pastor"
Coming from minister who has been
conspicuously successful, this state
ment is in effect a fine tribute to his
wife for her part in making that sue
cess. Without doubt all other minis
tiers would testify to the helpful part
their wives have in their work. New
ertheless women generally doubt the
desirability of the position. To be
neither too grave nor too frivolous, to
be active in parish activities without
being too active, to call just enough
without calling too much, to be
friendly with everybody in general
without being too friendly with any
one in particular, to steer middle
course in all things, and yet at the
same time be a force in the parish and
community life-this calls for rare
combination of qualities.

a TASTY Dish

When the usual fried, boiled and
scrambled eggs have become tiresome,
try this for a simple breakfast or
luncheon dish. 1t is easy to make,
pleasing to both eye and taste: Put a
small piece of butter on a little earth
enware ramekin; allow it to melt, then
add the crumbs from a slice of either
fresh or stale bread we'll moistened
with couple of tablespoonfuls of
milk and either one or two eggs slight
ly beaten. Stir all the ingredients for
a moment, then sprinkle over the top
from one to two tablespoonful OF
grated cheese; season we'll and cook
either on top of the stove or in a
slow oven. AS soon as the mixture
begins to puff up and slightly brown
remove from the fire and serve in the
ramekin at once. The ramekins either
with or without lids can be purchased
for q reasonable sum, and will be
'ound most convenient for individual
shes of this description.
