Yours truly,

and worthy citizens, but the brains and
power are not coming from the leading
elements of society, as rule, and it is
deplorable.
AS for the lack of children in wealthy
families that is principally due, think,
to social duties With small families
persons are permitted to give more at
tention to society
"A wife among the rich becomes, in a
sense, more of a housekeeper than a
mother, and she has not time to spend
in the rearing of children. 1 do not
think there is anything in the assertion
that it is possible for children reared in
the country to become more successful
than those raised in the cities. 1t is
not question of the baby being raised
on q bottle, although nature provided
different way, it is really question Of
raising the boy to become self-Tellant.
On the farm. where a boy has to battle
with the snow drifts in order to get to
the barn, when he crosses pasture fields
to get the COW, and has a thousand and
one chores to do on the farm, he is
taught to rely upon himself. In the
cities the rich boys are scarcely out of
their dresses before they are made little
dudes and are sent to parties Those
are their first lessons. As they grow
older they would become successful if
they were required to earn money and

they were on return engagements most
of the people accepted the band alone,

NO ACTION ON HARRIS.
Senate Resolution Is Referred in the
House.

Senator Wulfekuhler's resolution in
dorsing Senator w A. Harris for a
place on the Isthmian canal commission
was sent to the committee on federal
relations by the house today. This does
not mean that the resolution is side
tracked for good. The committee is
made up of Mendenhall, chairman. JEFF
fries. Nixon Evans, Kirkpat trick
Laughlin and Ballard
When the resolution came up Repre-
sentative Evens moved that it be re
ferred to the committee on federal rela-
tons, but Hale objected that this could
not be done because it was a concurrent
resolution.
Adams of Butler said the house could
refer anything to a committee and said
he thought this resolution should have
prayerfuI consideration.
Chandler of the minority protested
against action which would kill the
resolution. We of the minority don't
like to have to beg for a thing like this
which ought to go through by common
consent he said. 1t is generally ac-
knowledged that Senator Harris is pre-
eminently fitted for this place, and if
you use your brutal majority to kill it.
it viii surely come back to you"
But the resolution was referred Just
the same.

was sold to a third party, who gave his
check for $3.50 on a bank at jackson

it was altogether true that rich families
