MRS. LEASES BABIES.

Mrs. Lease OF Kansas made speech on
the Boston Common Sunday In which she
said, in her gleeful and gratuitous way,
that the country would never be safe un-
til woman was emancipated and men
stayed at home TO tend the babies. Mrs.
Lease seems to be as hesrtless concerning
babies as was Charles Lamb, who, when
asked by fond mother il ne didn't like
bsb sbies, replied chillingly, ayes, madam,
boiled"
The country can take care OF Itself very
well, whether woman is msncipated or
not, but babies are helpless creatures and
need nursing and looking after. One
baby In a household can keep all hands
buster than coal scuttle full OF a. hting
rats, and IT is not only tough on the
baby but absolutely terrible for the man
to insist that he shall stay at home and
tend to IL. Besides, men would teach the
babies bad tricks, like smoking corncot
pipes and playing stud horse poker

STREET CAR POWER
Discussed by congressmen-.-The Sel0nlorass
Bill AGAIN Mas a Turn.

WASHINGTON, March l3-The day In
the house was devoted entirely to the
consideration of bill relating to the ex.
tension Of the tine for allowing street
railroad here 10 change its system Of
motive power. According TO an act passed
several years ago, the street railroads OF
the Disrrict were required TO change their
motive systems from horse power 10 either
rable, storage battery, or underground
,lectric. All but the Metropolitan road
romplied wi'h the provisions Of the law.
That road claimed the cable was too ex-
pensiye and tried storage battery system,
but this proved "A failure.
IL was boldly charged that the General
Electric and Westinghouse companies
have retained all the prominent electric
engineers in the country and would not
spare money to prevent practical demon
strttion Of the feasibility OF the under.
ground electric now in operation at
Buda Pesth, and for a short distance on
the outskirts Of this city. To prevent
this Mr.. Walker proposed 10 restrict the
motive system TO be used by the Metro
politan road 20 underground electric. No
conclusion was reached.
The seigniorage bill was laid before the
senate and Mr. Villas took up his argu-
ment against il at the point where he left
of On Friday. He was followed by Mr..
Allison, who spoke in the same strain,
and by Mr.. Wolco't, who opposed the mo-
tion tsrecousi Ter the vote by which the
bill parse - third reading, not so much,
he declared, because he was opposed 20
amendment, 20 ii, as because he wanted
IL 10 serve as a lesson 10 those who had
wanted 70 use It merely "a catspaw to
keep the arff bill out OF the senate
During the morning hour Mr.. PETERS
motion looking for an investigation into
the charges published in the press that
senators were dealing in stocks on inform
alton gained in their official position was
laid on the table by a yea and nay vote,
after Senator German and others had de
clared their opposition 10 noticing the
charges alleged against senator's
