dous interest in public affairs, partic-
ularly and naturally those that con-
Germ the present and future political
life of her husband. Mrs. Pinchot is
a member of the policy committee Of
the American peace award, founded
by Edward Box. and will have q voice
in awarding the 100000 prize for the
best international peace plan which
will give America a voice in world
affairs but still keep this country
free from necessary participation in
any future wars-"if such should
arise"
In the announcement of the award
Mrs. Pinchot is described as wife Of
the Governor of Pennsylvania, active
in political life and many welfare
movements" The description is an
apt one. During the late hours Of
his research work in connection with
the Harrisburg negotiations Mrs
Pinchot was constantly at the gov
ernor's side and was OF immense as
sistance to him. At the public meet
ings of the conference she was al
ways present and most cordial in her
greetings TO miners and operators
alike. The one-armed Cappellini. rep
resentative of the most radical group
of the miners. was given the same
sweet smile as the one bestowed upon
the austere and aristocratic Warri
ner, representative of the vested In
terests. Mrs. Pinchot is a politician
of the finished school. and il is pre-
dicted she will be much heard from
in the affairs Of the Keystone state,
If not Of the nation.
The coal conference was not without
its lighter touches There was, for
instance, the quiet remark Of Martin
Green, New York reporter. who won the
world war with the careful and sincere
assistance of Irving Cobb and Ray Car
| roll of Philadelphia. 1t was a cruel
war, but the boys got through it all
right. In Harrisburg one evening the
news writer's were commenting upon the
fact that Gov. Pinchot took pains to
describe the progressive platform Of
1912 as the Roosevelt platform" They
said that inasmuch as the governor
was a good republican nowadays il
would not have done for him TO have
recalled the bull moose movement by its
proper name.
"Ah, yes sighed Martin Greene. like
so many others. Mr.. Pinchot is once
more a lifelong republican"
Jack I-eary also Of New York, who
has been reporting labor wars ever
since Adam refused to sweep out the
kitchen for Eve. also got facetious
enough on one occasion to draw a
nasty look from "G. p 1t seems it has
been one OF the boasts of the Pinchot
administration in Pennsylvania that the
governor has cut out many thousands Of
what he considered useless jobs just
before the coal conference went into
executive session Friday, Jack en-
countered the governor outside the
teSSelatcd reception room. ,
so this is the execution chamber" he
remarked.
Yes. but YOU can't go in, replied the
governor with d smile.

The Secretary Of the Interior has
included in the estimates for his de.
partment for the next fiscal year an
item of half a million dollars for i'm.
proving and extending the facilities Of
Howard University. OF that sum
s370.000 would be used for the con-
struction of a building for the medical
and dental schools. and the remainder
Of the money would be spent on
equipping those schools. Recently
Howard University came into posses.
sion Of large sum from the general
education board of New York and by
subscription from its graduates and
other members Of the colored race
throughout the country. The money
is being put to good purpose.
The mission of Howard University
is a wide one and one OF great re.
sponsibility. In a way it is the ma
tional university of the colored race
in the United States, now numbering
1900, 900. Its medical department has
been graduating physicians and sur
Eeons for many years, and il the esti-
mate submitted by Secretary Work,
coupled with the late gift and sub
scription fund, is granted by Congress,
provision could be made to double the
student capacity Of the university.

country Of this worthy Institution will
wish that the estimates may get

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT T. SMALL

Whatever else may be said of the
anthracite miners and operators. their
pathways of the past two months
certainly have fallen in the most
pleasant places. Some one has said
that if the momentous capital land
labor parleys had taken place at the
bottom of a mine shaft they probably
would have been concluded in a very
few days. But negotiating by the sad
sea waves at Atlantic City over
period of six or eight weeks wasn't
such distressing fate for those who
held the question of peace or war in
the anthracite fields in their hands.
And at Harrisburg the negotiations
of the past few days with Gov. Pin
chot were conducted in the govern
or's reception room, in the famous
Pennsylvania State Capitol.
Even all of the corruption and graft
which marked the erection of the
edifice failed to rob it of a splendor
which probably will never be equaled
in any state building OF the future.
The governors room. where miners
and operators sat about heavy wal
nut table covered with gold-stamped
morocco leather. is undoubtedly one
or the most ornate chambers to be
found in any part of the world. The
very atmosphere of the room is heavy
with luxury and expense. Every
| Fennsylvanian must swell with pride
when he steps within its portals
Even the miners. fresh from the We
netian gardens and Roman colonna IS
Of Atlantic City'S finest hotels. gave
q gasp when they entered the highly
adorned meeting place chosen by
Gov. Pinchot.
About the high paneled walls there
is a mhral frieZe of rich color and
treatment. as the famous quest Of
the holy grail in the Public Library
at Boston. The frieZe. which is the
work of Violet Oakley Of Philadel- :
phia, depicts events in the history OF
! the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
mos. Of the paintings dealing with
the life of William Penn. AS he sits
in the reception room. Gov. Pinchot,
teetotaler, and one of the dryest
executives of the entire country, is
! forced to gaze upon a likeness OF olu
Admiral Penn. seated beside a table
with an open rum bottle hard by. Ihe
admiral is driving William Penn from
the family domicile. driving him with
clenched fist and evidently with a
good bit of the rum inside. The leg
end on the picture says that william
is being eXiled because of his SYM
pathy with the despised sect of Ouak-
erS.
Another of the murals shows the
condemnation of Anne Askew to death
by burning. Heresy was the charge
a against Anne. and the picture lends
itself to richness of color through the
scarlet robes OF the cardinals who
were the judges. The quaint fetter-
ing on the panel reads: Rather
deathe than false to faythe."
The richness of the room is further
enhanced by massive floor lamps and
chandeliers of crystal and bronze.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Home, Sweet Home.

Sing song Of home, sweet home:
Cherished wheresoe'er you roam
Home, sweet home-where discomfort
Threatens if you skip the rent.
Home, sweet home, where pipes will
freeze:
Empty coal bins let you sneeze;
Where the man who makes repairs
Puts on plutocratic airs.
Song of home. Oh, strain SO sweet
Overwhelmed with jazz complete
Raising a discordant row;
You're the housing problem now.

bers from the pen Of DIR. Thomas Fos-
ter. the successor to Schoolcrafts old

1t is historically. and in an antiquarian
way, quite interesting. but somewhat
long for a newspaper article. 1t used
in the olden time. to be one of the sta nd
ing jokes of the United States Senate
chamber that one senator from the

other always spoke of it as Arkan-saw W

In this connection we recall to mind the
old legend of Lawyer Johns sign to at

Before coming to Congress, Representa-

and home-bea utifying

Richards is welded to the law, and the
firm of which he is senior member Is
one of the most important in Reno, the

On off days" from the Office. when
not engaged in landscape gardening
about the ranch surrounding his beauti-
full home, Charlie Richards is usually
found along the wonderful trout streams
of Nevada or at Pyramid lake, the
great desert lake where thirty-pound
trout dance to the anglers fly.
But nothing gives the new congress
man greater pleasure than to don a
suit of overalls and join his employees,
plugging into the actual work OF trench
huge roots about his home on the
Truckee river. Although he has never
worked at trade for living, his
ranch foreman will tell you that he
has no more industrious and capable
workman than his boss.
Mrs Richards. the new congressmans
wife, will be something of a surprise to
Washington society. She is well known
to Nevadans as fluffy" Richards She
is Just as enthusiastic about fishing and
ranch bea utilization as her husband.
1t Is said that none in Nevada can cook
trout over d camp fire better than HUFF

engaged in ranch work she wears
knickerbockers, but when entertaining
she is one of the most delightful hostess

to be a welcome acquisition to Washing
