selection of House chairmanships the
speaker will first take care of the
members who voted for him in the
Republican caucus and if there are
any leavings they will go to those who
opposed him. AS he received 90 votes
and there are but Al chairmanships,
the leavings are not likely to be plenti-
full. Twenty-one members who had
chairmanships last session are mem
bers of this Legislature. Thirteen of
them voted against Mr.. Baldwin, so it
is quite reasonable to predict that few,
If any will have chairmanships this
session.
This is the latest declaration from
Speaker Baldwin: II never favored
factionalism on the floor of the House,
as it interferes with wise and cool
headed consideration of State affairs.
even opposed partisan controversies.
The best thought of both factions and
both parties should be written into the
statutes and with display of faction
alism and partisanship these results
are impossible. If intense factional
quarrels or partisan feeling be caused
in this session it will be because of no
act of mine.
1T is my wish that the different de-
partments of the State government in
form the Legislature fully as to the
needs of revenue to conduct their ac-
tivitieS. The department also must
satisfy the House that these branches
of government are wisely and econom-
ically managed before the amounts re-
quested are agreed upon by the Legis-
lature. In my opinion the best way to
satisfy the members will be to give
them complete statements of all ex-
penditures and results obtained in the
| last two years. We should also know
the sources to which the revenues of
the State went" '@
Speaker Baldwin has issued a
writ for a special election in the
third Schuylkill district to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of B. j.
Yost, who died just before the session
began.

WOMAN MEMBER FOR BRITISH CABINET IS
 BIG POSSIBILITY

LONDON, Nov. 13.-lCorrespond- ence of The Associated Press)-A wo- man cabinet minister for England is one of the possibilities of the near fu- ture. Wide support has been given to the proposal that woman should occupy the office of Minister of Health, which is to be added to the British cabinet immediately after the war. Lady Frances Balfour, in statement in support of the proposal, says:
 we have lately reconstructed our ideas as to the place of women in our self-governing constitution. Who then would be so worthy for the new post of minister of health as one chosen from among women? She would be repre- scented in parliament by a male under secretary, and I think can assure you that our ideal woman health minister would give her under-secretary plenty to do, and her energies would task all his powers of eloquence to explain to parliament.
 "A splendid vision of recons.ructive work lies before her. And when we re- member all the things that the new de partment must handle, they seem mat ters where women are the practical leaders. The minister of health will need to be inspector. guardian, coun- sellor, expert on food values, doctor, nurse. cook and sanitary expert. No mere man is sufficient for all these things. If a man were selected. he would need cabinet of his own, com posed entirely of women experts. Therefore we commend the better way the appointment of a woman in this post of such national household i'm portance."
