THE RIGHT ANSWER.

The only answer which could be given to the anthracite coal miners under the circumstances was that which was for warded to the miners officials who after signing the coal agreement for two years sought to have the commission recalled to grant further demands.
 The president in denying the request took occasion to direct the attention of the men to the fact that there had been an agreement to abide by the award of the commission and laid emphasis upon the fact that they were disposed right at the start to not only disregard that but to refuse to abide by the contrac; as signed by the leaders in accordance with the understanding previously af. rived at
 In approving the action of the leadert in urging the men not to strike he tool occasion to inform the men that th idea of calling their concerted refusa to work vacation instead of a strik deceived no one. The purpose of thei course was to bring about the effect of strike and that is what has been accom- plished regardless of the name given fl It was intended to sway the decision o the president or to create condition which would so operate as to obtain fo the men what they sought Had tn president yielded to the appeal it woul have simply strengthened them in tn belief that agreements amount to noth Ing, that all that IS necessary to get ev erything they ask for is to break con tracts at will and force others theren to submit.

EARLY FALL. STYLES

Crowds of fashionable folk are return ing to their city homes and anxious mothers who have trousseaux and debu- tante outfits to provide are planning wedding, going away, bridesmaid and coming out gowns, says a writer in wo- mems Wear.
 One piece dresses are most in evidence among the shopping crowds and there is disapproval expressed of the elbow and short sleeves for these street frocks, ana for the morning dresses to be worn in the early autumn. as most women pre- fer the wool dresses with fur neck piece. for early season wear, delaying the wearing of wraps as long as possible In the first ordering of autumn shoes there seems a return to favor of thS American lasts with slender lines ana

Many strapped boots of high cut, the strap. outlined with flat naiIf1ead beads of jet are ordered, and gray suede shoes witt l matching colored hose continue popular At the moment the low black paten 1 leather pump with high arch and Cuban | or French heels is worn with black hos ela6orately ciocked in white, these witt the wool suits and one piece dresses.

WHAT CARE WOULD PREVENT.

No one can ever tell just how much good ever results from the presentation O. figures showing the great losses that occur and what great reductions could be made therein by the exercise of a due amount of care, but it cannot fail to make it's appeal even though the results are intangible It is by the repeated presentation of such facts that in creased thought is given to important matters which might not otherwlse get much consideration.
 Almost every day there are deaths, about which we know or read, which cannot fail to be regarded as needless. We are mortified by the many who are killed on the battlehelds and yet we fail to give consideration to the still greater number of deaths which might have been prevented in the same time had there been a due exercise of care. This is well illustrated by the figures given al conference of underwriters of health and accident insurance which showet | that while 31,0o0 of our boys were kill ed in battle during the war in Europe there were 126,000 Americans who diet | from accidents in the same period. | When it is realized that there are 10,
 
 | 900 persons killed accidentally every veal 1t can be appreciated that there is goo' and sufficient reason for giving heed t the many ways in which such accident can be avoided. Much to a large de gree rests with the individual involved while there are plenty of instance 1 where due regard for the safety of tn
 other fellow would greatly curtail ia talities.
 Human life Is too precious to be vast ed in any such manner. Carelessnes
 and the disposition to take chances nc
 warranted by the purpose involved ar
 largely responsible for many of the UT
 timely deaths. That accidents will har , pen is perfectly we'll understood but th
 inclination to create hazard in orde , to overcome 1t accounts for too large proportion of the accidental deaths. F. . amples which should teach their ow lessons are nunberless and experienc
 shows that it required an everlastir [ hammering at needless acts to keep u 5 needlss deaths as low as they are.

EDUCATING IMMIGRANTS.

What cannot fail to be regarded as 8 most important conference is that which fs to be held at Plymouth, Mass, the last three days of this week for the dis cussion of the problem of educating the Immigrants who come to the industrial plants of that state. In connection with AHnericanization work the legislature of our neighboring state has authorized the state board of education to coop crate with the cities and towns in pro- viding for the education Of persons oveI z1 who cannot speak, read and write English. Prominent leaders in in1h.t- rial service and prominent educators both in that and other states will ad dyess the gathering as the result ot which 1t is hoped that valuable help vii at least be secured in perfecting plan; for the cooperation which must neces sarily be given by the industries ant schools of the state in dealing with tn. immigrant, so that he will be of greate benefit both to himself and the coun try.
 How much action along this line i needed is well disclosed by the fact tha there is such a large number of irnn1i grants arriving at the present time tn number reaching New York being S large as to make it impossible for tn officials to handle their cases expedit iously as eight vessels waiting to dis embark such passengers well shows.

 A day or two later, somewhat earlier in the forenoon than before. the good wife again dropped into the store and in- quired:

MAINE VOTES TODAY.

This is the day that Maine holds It's state election Coming in advance of those in other states it has long been regarded as a contest at the polls which can indicate what the sentiment of the people is going to be in the national cleo ton in November. As the result the claim that "As Maine goes, so goes the nation" is freely made.
 Maine is a republican state. It will without doubt see that the republican ticket makes a clean sweep. Even the democrats are inclined to concede that much in spite of the fact that there have been times in recent years when Maine has sent democrat or two to congress. The struggle, however. in that commonwealth is to see how big a plu- Tality can be rolled up by the republi- cans and from the size of that decide how the rest of the country can be ex- pected to act later on. The idea is that if Maine rolls up an abnormal plurality for the republicans it can be taken as an indication that similar results will follow throughout the country, while il Maine furnishes but a small republican plurality it will indicate close contest and anything below a normal plurality for the republicans is supposed to cheel the democrats.
 It is Maine that is the barometer stat because of the fact that its election il the only one to be held at this time. Be ing held so far in advance of others i is possible therefrom to get a line upol the inclination of the voters and thu Maine is ab4tate in which early and ella borate efforts are made to get the peo pie aroused to the full significance of tn campaign issues that their votes in tn state election may have certain bear ing upon the bigger contest to come.
 With women participating in the vot there will be added uncertainty thi: year but with their votes being cas much the same as those by the men
 should simply have the effect of inerea; ing the plurality for which due allow ance will have to be made in consider Ing how the political tide is running that state.

FABRIC GLOVES,

It is simple matter to keep silk or fabric gloves clean. because all they need is thorough washing with soap and water. The better way to do this is to draw the gloves on over the hands and wash them, using pure, white soap. The water should be warm, but not too hot. and the rihsing water should be the same temperature. Dry on towel, pressing out as much moisture as DOS sihle. Then the gloves should be re- moved from the hands, turned right
 side out, and laid on a towel to dry. They should not be wrung or twisted m any way, since this will pull the threads away from the Seams and generally weaken the fabric Gloves should never be dried upon radiators or in any place where they will steam, nor should they
 be ironed to hasten drying. If the gloves are two toned, any of these ways will bt very apt to make the darker color run gloves should not be dried in the sun If they are white the sun yeIlows them and if they are eolored it fades them.
