The good roads Competition between railroads has changed from cutting of rates to qual ity of service. Railroads now adver tise attractions ln the .shape of steel cars, observation cars, baths, barbers and libraries on board trains, speed and safety, dustless roadbeds. Now comes a road in Illinois advertising It self as "the noiseless route," proclaim ing that "silent signals spell sound sleep"; that "no shouts and yells of trainmen" . will disturb sleep. As many night trains start at midnight and many passengers retire an hour or two earlier, this promise Implies that trucks loaded with baggage will not rumble, that trunks will not bump ln being loaded on cars; that engines with steam up will make no sound; that switching cars ln yards will not bump cars together. In .attempting to compel its employes to press the soft pedal, this road is undertaking rather a large contract, but travelers will hope for Its success and that It will have many imitators. Still, those mothers whose babies didn't win prizes may console them selves with the thought that neither George Washington nor Abraham Lin coln would have taken much of a prize at a baby show.

EMPEROR WILHELM OS ALCOHOL- Speech to Xaval Students Advising To tal Abstinence. sefore the naval cadets at Murwlck. Printed (Speech Emperor William of Germany by request.) Another little admonition I will give you upon a question which lies heavily upon my heart for my nation. It is the question, the alcohol and the drink. I know very well that the pleasure of drinking is an old heritage of the Germans. We must henceforth, how ever, through self-discl)llne, free our selves from this evil in every connec tion. I can assure 'you that I In. my twenty-two-year reign have made' the observation that the greater number of criminal cases submitted to me for adjudication up to nine-tenths are traceable to the consequences of al cohol. In earlier times it passed for ex traordinary cleverness in the youth for him to Imbibe a large quantity of alco hol and bear it I, as a young officer, had occasion to see such examples, but never myself to participate. These are views that suited the thirty-year war, but now, no more. Entirely apart from the consequences, which I need not further portray, I desire to apprise you on one point for your future carrer ln the first line. As you yourselves will observe during the course of your term of service on board, the service ln my navy has reached such a height of strenuousness as you can hardly surpass. To endure these enormous peace ex ertions without exhaustion and to be fresh ln the event of real seriousness depends upon you.

Tour editorial on "Disposing of Fallen Women" brings to mind interesting thoughts. - Merely as a philosophical Inquiry, may I not ask if what is known as th "social evil" is not to be expected? We know it is as ancient as society. Al though we may consider it to be wrong, it occurs to me that because of it persistency and survival, ln spite of punishments and reforms and teach innrs. it may have reasons for exist ence which have not occurred to us heretofore. The sexual relationship is not a thing of statute law, nor of moral philosophy. but the basic law for race propagation, Apparently, nature cares not in what manner this propagation is to be car ried out nor does nature adopt the forms of the union of the propagators. Is it not true that society has adopted all the forms and established all the procedure by which sexual relation ships are to be governed? These social forms and regulations, being for the preservation of organized society, admittedly necessary, if we are to progress in civilization, are, how ever, secondary laws when compared with the more basic law of race propa gatton instituted by nature. This being true, we must admit that when individuals find themselves ln clr cumstances or environments where th natural laws and attractions are of greater influence than the secondary social regulations, those Individual will follow the more primitive line o action and thus break the social laws. These social laws may be simply com Twenty-five Year Ago aa -- --,- r - .--, mon law, state statutes or merely regu ac-auuB iu- iuaj vivu J J uiwi o will decide.

PrJilSKIIEXT OF FALLEN WOMEN Municipal Judge Stevenson for Going After tbe Male Accessories. PORTLAND. Or., Oct. J. (To the Editor.) In an editorial appearing in the issue of October 2, The Orcironlan discusses, under the caption, "Dispos ing of Fallen Women," some remarks of mine quoted from a paper read at the recent Institute of the Pacific Coast Rescue and Protective Society. I take no Issue with the logic em ployed ln the editorial dlscuanlon. I agree with it to the full, but the dis cussion, predicated upon the remarks quoted. Isolated and standing alone, leads me into an attitude toward the subject matter that is quite the reverie of my personal views. Certainly I am not In sympathy with visiting the vengeance of the law upon fallen women. Officially, I believe, I have indulged them to far degrees. That It is, or seems necessary, now and then, to Inflict punishment Is a situa tion growing out of the times and tho manners. Would that the situation might change, and I hope to see the day when it will. Undoubtedly, with the overthrow of the commercial as pects of the social evil, a great Vxldo will be made. And on that score x am mightily of the conviction that wo should go after the male end of the ugly compact When I ventured the remarks dis cussed I was talking to the question. "Is it right for a city to abolish its segregated district without providing a suitable place for the future moral betterment and good citizenship or Its inmates?" My point was that society. as a matter of enrorcing us laws, is under no obligation to consult the con venience of those who have placed themselves outside the law. Further, I observed this: What I have said reflects. In an imperfect way. my views of the right of a city summarily to abolish segre gated vice, when considered as a ques tion of abstract legal Justice. As a proposition of abstract, equitable Jus tice, it may well be doubted whether it is ever morally right for any city to encourage public prostitution by open establishment of a restricted dis trict and then clamp down tne mi without warning and thus turn a horde of helpless, hopeless, homeless vlctUns of a bad system into a cold and un- helplng though it may be a pitying world without some substantial prep aration for their physical and moral assistance. With this done, however, society may cover Itself with a mantle of charity and lay the flattering unc tion to Its soul that it has done at least Its duty ln ottering the material facilities for reformation. whether they be availed or not. But Whether segregated districts be eradicated by summary proceedings, or by benevolent assimilation, mat here should be a home for custodial care of wanton women, I submit in the sober conviction of common sense. It should be a part of a great Industrial farm, out ln the fresh air and in tho Clelds where the forgotten, the socially oppressed, the ceaseless procession ot derelicts the denizens of sin and rime and shame may find a place f refuge and a rest from wrong."
