Child Life in Washington. ; i
MORE HONORED THAN VETERANS |
President Condemns Brutality of Men t
Toward Women and the Women | c
Who Fail in Their Duty of Moth- j r
erhood?Marine Band Plays. I l
Washington, D. C. ? The White i
House was the scene ot the formal i ^
opening of the first international con- ! ^
gress on the welfare of the child un- I j
der the auspices of the National Moth- j t
ers' Congress. The 200 delegates c
representing all the States and Terri- J J
tories and a dozen or more of the j r
leading countries of the world were J .
received at the White House when j t
President Roosevelt delivered an ad- |
dress to them, in which he declared j ?
that he placed the society ahead of j c
the- Civil War veterans, because, he j f
said, In the final analysis it is the ! i
mother only who is a better citizen J g
than the soldier who fights for his j j
lu""" ' I
The President made the occasion j
decidedly more than an informal reception
by having the Marine Band !
in attendance and his military and naval
aids in full uniform.
The President said in part:
"I receive many societies here in j
the White House, many organizations i
of good men and women, striving to j
do all that in them lies for the better- j
ment of our social and civic condi- i j
tion, but there is no other society
which I am quite as glad to receive i j
as this. This is the one body that I i ^
put even ahead of the veterans of the ! ^
Civil War; because when all is said. ?
it is the mother, and the mother only, i
who is a better citizen even than the j
soldier who fights for his country. >. j
The successful mother, the mother i t
who does her part in rearing and I j
training aright the boys and girls who I
are to be the men and women of the 1 j
next generation, is of greater use to (
the community and occupies, if she i
only would realize it, a more honor- ?
able, as well as a more important po- <
sition, than any successful man in it. t
"No scheme of education, no social y
attitude, can be right unless it is i
based fundamentally upon the recog- |
nition of seeing that the girl is
trained to understand the supreme
dignity, the supreme usefulness of
motherhood. Unless the average
. woman is a good wife and good
mother, unless she bears a sufficient
number of children, so
that the race shall increase and not
decrease, unless she brings up these
children sound in soul and mind and
body?unless this is true of the average
woman no brilliancy of genius,
no material prosperity, no triumphs
of science and industry will avail to
save the race from ruin and death.
The mother is the one supreme osset
of national life; she is more important
by far than the successful
statesman or business man or artist
or scientist.

even be sure until the children <
are well grown that any night will

Los Angeles Council Passes Ordinance
Affecting Newspapers. j
Los Angeles.?The City Council, <
over the veto of Mayor Harper, passed j
an ordinance which will urohibit sell- 4
iag or giving away in Los Angeles j
any newspaper or any publication
containing information regarding bet- <
ting on any contest of any sort. This 1
net only covers horse race , but all ; 1
forms of athletics. '
The new law prohibits tips on any \
event and entries may not be published
unless they run in alphabet- ! !
ical order, uniform type, flush with j
the left side column rule. If en- j (
forced, this would bar nearly every : ,
newspaper in America containing ; ,
sporting news.
The ordinance also prohibits pub- |
lication of betting odds on Presiden- j
tial elections or baseball games. It !
also takes away from sporting editors |
the time honored right to decide all j
the bets in the universe.
The general impressiou here is that ;
the law will be ignored by the daily j
newspapers.
The recent murder of Mrs. Char- j
Ictce L. Noyes after a quarrel over j
race betting created sentiment in
favor of the new law. |

engaged in a hot battle with a
>osse of twenty-five or thirty resilents
of Gloucester County in a
lump of woods a few miles away.
Vfler the robberies they stole a team
rom a livery stable and started off.
it 7 o'clock a. m. they were seen enering
Woodbury and Policeman Meriiant
opened fire and wounded one
if them. The robbers then left their
earn and took refuge in the woods
tear Sewell. They were armed with
44 calibre revolvers and seemed to
lave plenty of ammunition.
Merchant alarmed the authorities,
vho quickly organized a posse, which
urrounded the men. Seeing that
:apture was imminent, the yeggmen
led to a barn. The farmers gathered
n a near-by cornfield and exchanged
hots with them. Then the men made
i dash toward Woodbury.
Opposite the water works the posse
losed in on them, and after a hand
o hand fight succeeded in capturing
wo. The third man got away.
One of the captured men was shot
n the groin and to Dr. Stout, who
reated him, he said that he was Will
am McCoy, thirty-eight years old,
md had 110 home. He had $134 in
lis pockets and a .44 calibre revol er,
empty. He was committed to
irison without bail.
The other prisoner said he was
lohn Burns, seventeen years old. He
vas wounded in the face and body
vith buckshot. In a tobacco bag tied
iround his neck was $57 in bills and
n his pockets $100 in bills and $1.37
n change, together with a .44 calibre
evolver. Burns before being capured
threw a bottle of nitro glycerne
at his captors. It did not explode.
A few minutea after midnight the
nen made their appearance in Peiricktown,
about twenty miles below
kVoodbury. They went to the livery
stable of J. B. Caventa, forced an
mtrance and stole a team. Then
hey went to the postoffice. The safe
ivas blown open and $250 in stamps
md money taken.
The force of the explosion was so
jreat that it wrecked the entire post>ffice
and set fire to the building. The
obbers fled with the stolen team. In
l very few minutes the entire popula;ion
of Pedricktown was in the street
n front of the postoffice. The volun:eer
firemen got to work on the blaze,
jut before they extinguished it $2000
1 aixia3uaa uuuc.
At 2 o'clock the yeggmen reached
:he Bridgeport postoffice. The family
)f William Brown lives over the postsffice,
but this did not deter the robbers
from forcing entrance and inserting
a charge oi nitro glycerine in
the safe sufficient to almost wreck the I
building. Brown armed himself with
i revolver and rushed down stairs,
ind when he went into the postoffice
tie ran against the barrels of three revolvers.
He was told to retreat unier
the threat of death, and did so.
The robbers then packed up $600
srorth of stamps and taking $50 in
money made off in the direction of
Woodbury, near where the fight and
capture took place.

SHIPPING ANARC3
DEALBNG WITH >
Washington Officials Admit Difficulty
Latest Measures?Effective Measure
port?Restrictions on Immigration
Washington, D. C.?It may not be
reassuring information, butthe Washington
officials are none too optimistic
about the outcome of the attempt
to drive all the anarchists from the
United States. Those officials whose
duty it is to deal directly with the anarchists
cannot talk for publication.
The officials who can issue orders to
immigration inspectors telling them
to be alive to their duty have talked
for publication, but the talk, like
much of the work done, is impotent.
Some one here has said that anarchists
are made, not born. This is
largely true, and anarchists will be
made as long as there are anarchist
teachers who get within touch of receptive
pupils. This means that as
long as there are anarchists in the
country their ranks will grow daily.
Since the shooting of the priest at
the altar in Denver and the attempted
killing of the chief of police, Shippy,
in Chicago, the Senators and Representatives
have been busy talking
about immigration measures, but they
have confined their talking largely to
the corridors and cloak rooms. Most
of them are just as afraid to-day to
pass a restriction bill that means restriction
as they were before the
shootings gave them sharp excuse for
the passing of an absolutely drastic
measure.
One member, who is not more than
one generation removed from being a
foreigner himself, told your correspondent
that it wouldn't do to draw
a line part way up the continent of
Europe and to say that no one from
below the line should come to this
country. "What we ought to do." he
said, "is to draw a line down the middle
of the Atlantic Ocean and another
one down the middle of the Pacific
Ocean, and to say no one shall cross."
Restriction Problem Difficult.
When a New York Representative,
on the floor of the House, spoke in
advocacy ox a really restrictive immigration
measure, several Representatives
whose constituents are largely
Southern Europeans, at once began
missionary work. They told the other
members what a wrong it would be to
punish the many because of the failings
of the few, and they did not neglect
to touch on the matter of power,
the balance of power,of course, which
the men coming from some of the
European countries hold at the polls
in America.
One member, an Illinois man, told
a colleague who was urging no action,
that it would be far better for him
and for his people in the future to
have all immigration stopped from
their native countries for a series cf
years, until the United States had opportunity
to assimilate those that
were here to that point of assimilation
which means the dropping of hyphens
and writing of themselves as
PANAMA CANAL MUS'
Former Chief Eufflneer of Istl
For rr
New Haven, Conn.?John F. Stevens,
a vice-president of the New
York. New Haven and Hartford Rail
road, and a former chief engineer of
the Panama Canal, has issued a statement
regarding the latter enterprise,
in which he prophesies a failure of
the undertaking.
In this statement Mr. Stevens says
that the canal will not help the United
States in its trade with South
America, as practically all of the inhabitants
of the Southern Continent
are on the east of the Andes, so that
it would be of no advantage to make
use of the canal to reach there. Mr.
Stevens also says that in our commercial
relations with the islands of the
Pacific and the Far East the canal
will be of little value. Our coal and
wheat centres are inland. Their products
have to be started on their way
by rail. When loaded on cars It would
not be cheaper to ship to the Atlantic
and then ship to the East by
the way of the canal than it would be
to send directly to the ports on our
Pacific coast and then get on board
ship.
Vnrfiiprmnrfv Mr. Stevens believes
that our coal supply is fast diminishing
and that China will be the coal
country for the future. Siberia, he
says, will bo the wheat country of the
future, with India a close second.
Mr. Stevens maintains that the
Swift Interests Buy 300,000
Acres and 20,000 Cattle in Texas.
Austin, Texas.?Major George W.
Littlefield, of Austin, closed a deal
for the sale of his 300,000 acre ranch,
which comprises nearly all the land
in Lamb and Hockley counties in the
Panhandle of Texas, to a syndicate of
Chicago men closely identified with
the interests of Swift & Co.. packers,
prominent membersof the Beef Trust.
He disposed of 20,000 cattle and
500 saddle horses with the land. The
total consideration was approximately
23,000,000.
Ilalls of Congress.
Advocates of woman suffrage made
arguments before Senate and House
committees.
The bill increasing the pay of
officers and enlisted men in the amy
was passed.
The Lodge bill to reorganize the

Affairs voted for the construction ol
two battleships, rejecting the President's

ANARCHY BEGUN |
58? Not Optimistic as to Ouicemc of tho j
s Too Drastic to Reccivc Popular Sup.
Inadequate to Keep Out Anarchists.
Americans, not only to the full letter !
of the law, but to the full of the 1
American spirit. ,
The men who have given the sub- i
ject of immigration the closest study 1
seem to feel that the work connected j
with the keeping out of the criminal <
and the anarchistic classes should be
done on the other side of the water.
They believe that a means can be
found by which every intending emigrant
from a foreign country can be
made to "prove his record" before he
shall be allowed to step on shipboard.
The immigration inspection laws
were useful last year to the extent of i
keeping out something fewer than
1000 undesirable citizens. The rec-,
ord was 300 better than for the preceding
year, and yet the man who at-1
tempted to kill Chief Shippy came in
as a "desirable," and it took him only
a few months to do something more
than prove his undesirability.
Educational Test Inadequate.
The reading and writing clause
which it was proposed to put in the
last immigration bill would not have
kept out Lazarus Averbach, neither
would it have kept out the Denver assassin;
and, in fact, it wouldn't have
kept out one in a hundred of the real
anarchists who seek America. Some
other means must be found, if the
desire be to debar from the country
the men whose "thinking drives them j
mad."
There is recognition in Washington
of the fact that in the heat and pas- j
sion following the recent Denver mur- j
der, and the attempted assassination j
in Chicago, there is a disposition on
the part of the police officials to confuss
anarchism with socialism and
with other forms of thinking and
practice which take 110 cognizance of
violence in any shape. The difficulty
is that in the heat and passion the officials
are apt to do things which they
ought not to do, and which tend to j
increase, rather than to diminish, the
plague which they are seeking to
eradicate. Another difficulty is that
when the heat and the passion have
passed, there comes forgetfulness and
the officials lapse into the old state
of apathy, to stay in it until some
new violence rouses them.
All that has been said within the
last week was said immediately following
the assassination of President
McKinley. Then anarchism was to '
be killed, and anarchism kept on living,
and, from all appearances, it is
pretty much alive to-day. The Washington
preaching is for systematic
and continued pursuit of the anarchists,
but the preaching, if one may
judge by the past, will not be followed
by the practice. Congress can
do much with a proper form of immigration
bill, but there is no present
prospect that Congress cares to undertake
the work.
r FAIL, SAYS STEVENS.
imian Waterway Gives Reasons !
opliecy.
Panama Canal ^annot hope to become |
anything more than an expense. It
will not meet expenses and it will cost
more than is expected. It will be an
advantage, yes, but an advantage to
European countries and not to us.
The idea of the canal being of
great value to us in times of warfare,
since our naval forces can be quickly j
sent from one coast to the other, he j
says, is utterly absurd. It would take
days for the ships to get around, and !
during that time hostile shells could j
have done their work. Mr. Stevens
believes that it would be a far wiser j
plan of defense to put the money that
tho canal will cost into a greater
navy.
Mr. Stevens is not unique, however,
as a prophet of evil for ship canals.
Forty-odd y<ears ago many British and
other mercantile economists were
cocksure that the Suez Canal could
never pay expenses. Yet for years
the directors of that work have had
periodically to reduce their tolls on
shipping in order to keep their net
yearly profits from exceeding the
twenty-five per cent, permitted by the
charter, and the $20,000,000 worth
of shares which the British Government
purchased in 1875 are now estimated
to be worth fully $155,000,000.
There is no objection to Mr. i
Stevens keeping company with those '
who went so wide of the Suez mark.

more satisfactory when it is consid- j
ered that it covers a part of the pres- :
ent season of hard times. The last

profit of $5000, and have done much

A Penn. doctor brought a patient
mething entirely different and the
suits are truly interesting.
"Two years ago," writes this p??5nt,
"1 was a frequent victim of
ute indigestion and biliousness, beg
allowed to eat very few things. 1
ie day our family doctor brought
e a sman pacKage, saying oe naa
and something tor me to eat, at

said It was a food called
'ape-Nuts, and even as Its golden
lor might suggest, tt was worth Its
jlght In gold. 1 was sick and tired,
>ing one thing atter another to no 1
all, but at last consented to try this
iw food.
"Well! It surpassed my doctor'9
ndest anticipation, and every day
ace then 1 have blessed the good
ictor and the inventor ot Grapeats.
"1 noticed improvement at ones,
