Plain Talk on the Question.
'Pater Familias," in North American Re-
view.
Almost daily Of late there has been pub
lished letter from the President to some
parent of a large family, congratulatine
him on the number of his offspring, and CIV
ing expression to sentiments of one sort
or another which, in their essence amount
to this: That the nearer Americans ap-
proach the physical status of rabbits the
more patriotic they become. -
The Presidents plain meaning is that the
larger the family the better, regardless of
almost any other conditions. This is the
stuff that good Americans are made Of"
he says in a recent letter. In its last
analysis this means that women are to be
Judged by no other standard than the num-
ber Of children they produce. The mother
of twenty-four children is high priestess

cipher.
1 was raised in an atmosphere where 1T
was considered that the teachings of the
ancient writer's of the Bible are as bind
ing in our day as in theirs, in certain re-
spects.
1 grew up believing, as did the great
mass of the people of the country at that
time. in certain selected texts and precepts;
and among these the order to multiply and
replenish the earth was believed and prac-
ticed. There were large families in my
day. and children were habitually referred
to as gifts from the Lord" but 1 remem-
ber that the men did not seem to be par
ticularly happy after three or four had ap-
peared, and that the lives of the women,
even those who were of education and re-
finement, were often almost on a level with
those of the slave.
/ have not forgotten the day when there
were women Of culture and refinement
who had ten children, who did most of the
sewing and housework and when II there
was more than a single servant in the
family, it was a notable thing. / can re-

were lives of pain, anxiety and toll /
cannot remember In my youth woman
of thirty who was not accounted old, and
1 have verified this many times by looking
over family albums. Women of thirty to-
day, whether married or single, are con-
sidered young and there are plenty who
at the age Of forty-five have the bloom
and beauty of youth. That was something
unknown In my boyhood and II is unknown
in a great portion of this country to-day.

PROGRAMME FOR THE WEEK.
The present week in the legislature will
witness lengthy sessions of the House. and
much hard work. All of the appropriation
oils are on third reading and they will be
passed as rapidly as the roll can be called.
None OF these bills have been considered
to any extent. but the leaders are letting
them go through in the hope that the SEN
ate will fix them up. That body is getting
ready TO do some heavy cutting.
IL Is estimated that the bills already in
will run up to S17.0oo.ooO. and the Senators
realize that unless a halt is called the
legislature will get into dlsrepute for ex-
t~ravagance.
Representatives barrow and Morris are
circulating among the member OF the As
sembly a petition to the State Board of
Pardons. asking that body to parole former
Treasurer spaulding Of the University OF
Illinois. who If now in the Joliet Prison.
SrauldinE was a Chicago hanker and was
appointed treasurer Of the university dur
ing the Altgeld administration. His bank
became involved In unfortunate financial
transactions and Spaulding undertook to
tide IL over by negotiating the securities Of
sion. The effort 10 save his bank failed and
he was arrested and convicted OF embezzIe
ment.
CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.
Spaulding has now served what would be
equivalent TO a ten-year sentence under the
Jaw ShuNE OEuAlAdEI
circumstances he would have been released
on parole long ago. but public sentiment
has been so bitter against hIm that the
Board Of ParCons has declined to extend
20 him the benefits OF the parole act up 10
this time. Recently the bitterness has COM
menced to subside. and Z =, now believed
that. with 4 proper petition before IL. the
board will release the banker. His wife has
been here for some time. working on the
case.
One circumstance in favor Of Spaulding Is
the action taken by the University Board.
When the quest on Of a pardon for Spauld-
ing first came m the board adopted a reso-
luton. pledgilg its member to resist the
exercise OF clcmency in his case until the
board decided officially aid as p body TO
request such clemency. This action has
been recinded within the past Few DAYS, |
and the members are thus left free to sign
the petition for che bankers release.
This IS an Instance said M. Morris
yesterday. where a mans prominence has
kept him in prison longer than he deserved
TO be there Had SDaulding been anything
but a banker. he would have been out OF
prison in two or three years at the most.
jury would have sentenced him to serve |
more than four or five years. in the first |
but he has been kept in prison
for what is equivalent to a ten-year term
because of public sentiment" |
