Admitting that Miss Roosevelt was guilty of an impolitic act, it is not a matter in which the public has any legitimate concern. President Roose velt did absolutely right in causing the suppression of the pohtographs. THE ARBITRATION TREATY. A few weeks ago a national arbitration assoeia tion was formed in Washington to promote an ar bitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain. The meeting to form this association was attended by a large number of prominent men. The leading address was delivered by Cardinal Gibbons, who warmly and eloquently approved such a treaty, as in the interests of peace and civilization. His ar gument covered the whole field of common interests and common language, and pointed out the joint cou tribution of Great Britain and the United States to the world's store of science and art, civilization and progress, says the Call. The movement was evidently backed by the best thought of the country, and is intended to proceed from the' people onward until it impresses the gov ernment. Great Britain is the only European power with possesions in this hemisphere that are in contact with us. Already this has resulted in issues such as Bering sea, the northeastern fisheries and the Alas kan boundary, that have been peacefully settled by arbitration. Both countries perceiving the benefit of this method, should seek to avoid friction over each question that arises, by a general arbitration treaty, under which an ordeYly settlement may be had. With men like Cardinal Gibbons, Jacob Dickerson, General Miles, Bishop Potter, Archbishop Ireland, Judge Gray, Edward Everett Hale and others of equal influence and dignity, and of all parties and re ligious denominations, promoting such a treaty, it is to be regretted that a constant note of opposition and of bitter antagonism is heard, caused by pre judice that had its radix in long past events to which this country was not a party. This opposition suc ceeded in defeating such a treaty a few years ago, but when eminent churchmen of .Irish blood, like Cardinal Gibbons, stated the grounds for the treaty from their status as Americans only, and from the standpoint of humanity,' it was hoped that none would oppose it. During the coming campaign there mav lw no time to promote this movement, but it is to be hoped that next year public opinion on- the subject will be made known to the government in such positive fonn that the initial steps will be taken by the two govern ments to bring it about. One statement of the opposition is conspicuously erroneous. This is to the effect that an arbitration treaty violates the avdice of Waslung-ton's farewell address against entanghn galhances. An arbitration treaty is not a treaty of alliance. It is simply an in ternational agreement that disputes shall be sub jected to peaceful settlement first, before submittin them to the cruel arbitrament of war. ARGUMENT AGAINST LARGE FAMILIES. Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews, of the Nebras ka State University, lecturing to thv medical stud ents, said yesterday that 10 children were too many in one family, especially where the parents are poor. He believes in limited families aud asserts that it is better to bring up a small number of children and give them all enough than to rear a multitudinous fomily on half rations. There is no doubt that Dr. Andrews voices the do mestic philosophy of a good many American fam- No Dessert More Attractive way as guauut ana ir-jrsrE- spend boun oainit, AJUrO nrNunuiKi navorum 1 and eojonag when Jell-0 Nadu better iwulta lit two nilmitwrt XrryUiintntlieMMikitg.

President Roosevelt was undoubtedly mortified that his daughter, Alice, should engage in betting on a public race track, and we may assume was some what angered that an officious camera fiend should photograph the young lady as she was in the act of placing a bet with one of the commissioners, says the Telegram. The facts of both mortification and an ger are manifest in the further report of the incident to the effect that Miss Alice was the recipient of a serious lecture and immediate steps were taken which resulted in the effectual suppression of the pictures. It is to be accepted &$ one of the burdens of great ness that neither a president nor members of his family may, in their everyday, life, step outside the strictest limitations of propriety, even though the departure be one of an innocent character, without being subjected to the close scrutiny of the public eye and becoming more or less subject to comment of a disagreeable if not unfavorable sort: In connection with this betting incident there are two features disclosed that are regrettable. In the first place, reprehensible is the vulgar curiosity of the public, which prompted the photographer to take a snap shot at Miss Roosevelt, not because she was do ing anything that hundreds of other ladies were do ing without the slightest impropriety, but because she was the president's daughter, and was doing what straight-laced Mrs. Grundy says presidents daughters should not do. The other feature is that there has been brought to public noitice an apparent infraction of parental disclipine in the Roosevelt family with which the public should have absolutely no concern. Boys and girls who are the sons and daughters of presidents are very nearly the same as the Bulletin. An extra child or two makes a great deal of difference in the economic arrangements of a city family, and a very large proportion of the pop ulation of the country is now grouped in cities. So cial philosophers, most of whom are part of the urban population, usually think ouly of conditions as they exist in the large towns. They are aware that a work ing man or clerk, receiving a limited wage, can pro vide for a certain number of mouths and no more, and these philosophers reason with Dr. Andrews that it is folly for the workingman or clerk to bring into the world more children than he can support. On a farm a few children more or less makes lit tle difference in the year's expense. All the food they can eat is produced on the land, there is hardly any outlay for clothes, and the children, by doing chores, earn their board and lodging. In the cities children are rather in the way when out of school, and the anxiety of parents is to keep them out of mischief, but on a farm there is plenty of work to be done, and every pair of childish hands is a valuable machine. 'Race suicide," therefore, is a phenomenon of the cities and is one of the many hastening ills that come when wealth accumulates and men decay. City life in the long run produces radical deterioations, FamilW die out in the city after a few generations, Luxury and strenuous labor destroy the nerves and bring about, sooner or later, sterility and barrenness. How few city families can count more than three or four generations from the last farmer in the family The old families, as well as the large families, are rural. The aristocracy and gentry of the old coun tries the families, that is, that count the largest lineage are country folk, such as the beef-eating, fox-hunting tory squires of England. The popula tion of cities is kept up by accessions from the farms. City life has a tendency to undermine the old-fash ioned notions of the duty and beauty of having large families of healthy sons and daughters. The urban Carnelia does not boast of her progeny as her jewels. Children nowadays in the cities are retarded as pinchbeck jewelry at the best. Mothers are not dis posed to spend their lives slavishly in toiling for their young ones. Why, they reason, should they rear a pack of iugrates who will take all servieese and sac rifices as their just due, without saying thanks, and will marry and go away when they are just at an age to be of use to their parents? This argument is strong in the cities where there are no roof-trees and where the patriarchal system of society does not flourish. In the country the sons may bring their wives home and take the burden of the farm and the. household from the parental shoulders, but in the cities,, as the son never pays the parents' hotel bills, the parents do not acknowledge that thev are under any obligations to posterity. museum to present the development of (3m man civilisation.

PHONE, RED 2305 Scow Bay Iron S Brass Works The devout residents of several Indiana towns were forced this year ta attend Easter services through the medium of boats, wending their water way through canals that had been streets. Among the compen sating elements of the occasion, however, were the fact that the fellows that prayed for rain shared the disadvantages of their success and nobody had to dig in his jeans to buy that bugbear of the masculine heart, the Easter bonnet. A Los Angeles man, having reached the age of dis cretion indicated by sixty-four years and having re ceived a sentence of two years' imprisonment for forgery, asked the court to commit him to the peni tentiary for life. The old man, unfortunate indeed in the fruits of crime, should have reflected that a higher court than that of Los Angeles may grant his request. After weeks of a wearying game of hide and seek on sea Japan and Russia have progressed in belli genercy far enough to engage in a land battle on the soil of Korea. The list of casualties thus far report ed wouldn't make a showing respectably warlike enough for an ordinary football game. Iroa, Steel, Brass aud Broue Castiuge.
