KEEP WATER OUT OF THE ROAD.

The worst feature In the working OF
the roads Is that they are made the gut
tiers Of the country. The ditch on the
upper side Of the road gathers all the
water from the fields above the road and
carries It to the foot Of the hill. The
ditch on the lower side gathers sll the
water coming from the road, and be-
tween the two our road systems are be-
ing washed out. Drainage can and
should be provided to get the water out
side Of the road limits at short intervals.
Water Is poor rosd m,teriil. Keep It
from getting on the roads where pos

Report Of the Filipino Generals Surrender

ANOTHER RUMoR THAT HE IS WOUNDED
Bnttlcship oregon Leaves Manila with
an Expedition for Subig-Mnjor
spence Captures an Uncom-

MANILA, Dec. 10. 30 p. m.-An expedi-
tion headed by the battleship oregon left

tunity to surrender and will be properly

SERMON ON WOMAN LABOR
st. Paul Divine Declares the Tendency
of the Time is the Great
est Evil.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 10.-Rev. S. G..
Smith, pastor of the Peoples church in this
city, whose recent statements in regard to
women wage-earners and their interference
with men workers have attracted wide at
tention and criticism, tonight replied to his
critics in a sermon. Dr.. Smith said in
part:
THE subject at first arouses mirth, but
when it is better understood tears will take
the place of laughter The problem is red
with the life blood of the nation. War is
curse and an evil, but war is sometimes
better than cowardice and dishonor. There
is need for womans work, and good in it,
but as society is at present organized the
evil far outweighs the good. 1t was in saw
age times that woman was the slave and
served her master in menial tasks. We
are fast on the road to a new savagery. The
problem began when the discovery OF ma
ctinery and the factory system took the
place of the man and the tool. Greedy en-
ployers bid the delicate fingers of woman
and the dimpled hand OF childhood grasp
the fallen task. l have watched woman
and a COW yoked together dragging a heavy
load in Europe / have seen the haggard
faces of the factory girls here and there.
God never intended women to look like that.
buI tCOuOHilC NOuulllOuS nave ITO CulNdiIy
and human avarice has no sense of honor.
THE majority Of working women in this
country, now 100000 OF them, are between
the ages of IA and 25. The great fact of the
last decade, however, is the enormous in
crease among them of girls under Is years
of age. In the clothing trades alone the
increase has been 23S per cent, in cotton
and wooden goods 13S per cent. The ten
dency is toward childhood. 1t is cheaper.
Meantime, we are devouring the possible
strength of the nation by draining the life
of its future mothers. Forty-five per cent
of the manufacturing in the United States
is now done by women. We may we'll lie
ashamed to use the appliances OF modern
civilization when we remember that they
mean the life blood and agony of delicate
womanhood, the paralysis OF our home and
the stopping of that abounding American
physical vigor which has marked us for a
century, because America has hitherto been
the paradise OF women. Make our women
beasts of burden and the doom of our
strength is at hand. No army is any more
vigorous than the mothers who bore them.
The tendencies OF the time toward the
enormous increase OF woman labor and OF
immature young women. is the economic,
social moral and physical evil OF our time,
and it is the most serious menace to the
nations life"

PRINT RECIPROCITY TREATIES
tions to Consider New Treaties
with France and England.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The reciprocity
treaty negotiated between the United States
and France and between the United States
and Great Britain during the last summer
the terms of which have been carefully
guarded, have at last been printed. They

spective parties. Those with Great Britain
are signed on the part of the United States
by John Kasson, and on the part Of Great
Britain by Reginald Towers.
The French treaty is signed by John Kas-
son and Ambassador Cambon. The list of re-
ductions in each case is followed by treaty
articles giving the general terms OF stipula-
tion. The French convention is made to ap-
ply to Algeria and it's products the same as
1t to France and its products
The general terms of all the treaties are
practically the same, the stipulation be-
ing in most cases that "in case either Of the
contracting parties shall during the continu-
ance Of this convention increase the duties
on the importation of merchandise the in
crease shall be without discrimination or
prejudice against the products of the
other"
Article in the British treaties provides
for tho ratification of the treaties by the
president and the senate on behalf Of the
United States and by the queen on behalf
of Great Britain, after favorable action by
each of the several colonies interested. In
all except that of Barbados an exchange
of ratfications within eight months is pro-
vided for In the Barbados treaty twelve
months time is allowed All the treaties are
to continue in time for five years, and from
year to year thereafter at the contracting
parties pleasure.
