THE CHILDLESS FAMILY.
The Uving Church Annual, the
year hook and authority of the Epis
copal church, bitterly complains that i
infant baptism has decreased in that
chnrch 50 per cent in 14 years.
In the past year the number of
adult baptisms has largely increased,
while the number of children baptized
has decreased greatly.
The annual does not mince its
words In explaining . the cause. It
goes directly to the liottom of the
statistics and shows why this de
crease in the numlier of children
coming into the church. It shows
mat it is caused by a diminishing
number of children liorn to members
of the church: It complains of the
childless families, and the childless
Sunday school classes and rather
sharply rebukes those responsible for
this condition.
In the homes of the wealthy and i
prosperous, among people amply able
to raise families, educate them and
prepare them for useful lives, there
are found no children.
People with palatial homes, with
wealth to lavish on "poodle" dogs,
donkeys, cats and freakish and empty
ideals. ..uve learned to despise child
ren and this high church authority
predicts that the time Is near at hand
when a condition will prevail in
America resembling that In France,
where a woman bearing one child is
given a premium by the government,
the mother of twins Is given a pen
sion for life, and a mother of triplets
Is canonized.
INEVITABLE STATE CONTROL.
Elbert Hubbard, editor of the Phil
istine roazaglne. one of the most
original thinkers in the United States,
has figured out the railroad question
lu a practical manner and here is
what he says:
"The trusts are a movement of na
ture in the interests of mankind. The
iieople will yet own and control the
railroads, Just as we do the postoffice.
The state will own the rallroaas. just posts in this Instance without much
as wc control the highways, where ceremony, but It represents the great

change cannot come by voting out
the strong men who hove brought
rallrontling up to Its present high de
gree of excellence, and putting In
diHsntlsflcd walking delegates. We
will make terraB with these strong
men and retain them In power.
"The nation can only be strong by
using the efforts of Its strong mon.
These men In power have proved
lclr fitness and the rnen who oper-
ate the railroads of the co-operative
commonwealth will be men trained
and educated by the men now In
power. And the change will come as
quietly nnd Imperceptibly as a change
lu schedule It will be evolution, not
rt-vulutliin.
"1 believe In co-operation, even with
people we do not like. If it will bring
us any nearer our Ideal. Never was
there u time when men of steady
judgment were more in demand. We
want hopeful, earnest men. and thove
all. men of patience, kindness and
good cheer. We want the opportunist
the man who does what he can. the
best he can, and who tomorrow will
do the same thing."
The unsatisfactory labor situation
revealed by the riot of the Greek
track laborers at I .a Grande, on Sun
day, is worthy of serious thought by
every one Interested in his country.
If the 0 Ft. i X. company could se
cure sober, steady, trustworthy white
men to perform its work, does any
one think for a
moment -this horde
' of mongrel barbarians would be tol-
r erated. no matter what the pricp? If
I gangs of while men. who could be

could be secured, does any one think i
the company would Invite such un
pleasant occurrences ns the riot at j
l.a Grande, by hiring the riff-raff of
Europe and Asia in even the most
menial service? In conducting large
enterprises like railroad construe- J
tion and track repair, it is necessary
to keep a heavy farce on hand, ready
to crowd work when it will not Inter
fere with traffic, and the fact is that
white men cannot be dejiended upon
to "stick." Some form of contract '
must he entere I into between the j
company nnd the laborers to Insure
a working force at all times, hence
these gangs of Greeks and Japanese
are contracted from large employment
concerns In order to have some re-
sponsible force back of the individu-1
als to Insure the presence of a certain j
number of men at times when most .
needed. The gradual deterioration of j
the shiftless white laborer on the Pa
cific Coast Is responsible for the
presence of the barbarians. Railroad
companies hate these pagans as hear-1
I lily as anybody, but they are driven
to employ them in self-defense

OLD ICELANDIC QUARREL.
I A political quarrel of more than SO
years standing between Iceland and
' Denmark has at last been settled.
; The Tall .Mall Gazette says: "The
Icelanders, who speak n lauguagc till

tongue Is very nearly that of the old
N'orse Edda -have incessently con
.tended that between that country and
Denmark there should only he the
golden link of the crown.' In making
this claim they weut by ancient his
torical traditions of still greater tree
dom.
Their claim was that thore should
he a speclnl minister for Iceland
who should reside at Reykjavik and
he a native of the island. Hitherto
the Danish minister of Justice was a'
the same time the minister for Ice
land, and he. residing at Copenhn
gen. was not required to know th
Icelandic language. This was held t"
be sore grievance. eseclally win"

sembled. and the Danish governoi at
Itevkjavlk had often to correspond b

island, with the authorities at Coiien

Now the Danish government has
yielded to the Icelanders and the al

this was represented by a negro
man at the head of several men anil
women in couples, each dancing nnd
imitating the strutting crowing,
scratching, and other antics of the
brood of fowl, the lender geuorally
having two palmleaf fans to use as
wings. The more grotesque nud
