Since George F. scanneI, Commissioner Of
Public Works IN Manhattan. took an active in
terest in the fight which The Tribune has been
making for months TO have Elm-st. graded and

oughfare has been pushed with something Ike
vigor. Yesterday the pavement along the en-
tire length OF ElIn-st. was finished. practically.
and the street was open for traffic Some
rubbish remains to be removed from a few
places. The indications yesterday were that
the street would be clear OF all distractions
and credit to the city by the end OF this week
The amount Of traffic in the street yesterday
was so large as to show that Elm-st win be a
popular thoroughfare, and probably will taxa
from Broadway good part OF the traffic which
has become cOngestcd there at certain hours OF
the day. The long suffering business men OF
Elm-st. may find that the tide OF travel will
bring to their doors fair share of prosperity

GIBBONS ON BIG FAMILIES.

very properly called the murder Of innocents.'

THE Catholic Church regards it a most
grievous sin for women to teach another how
TO foil the immutabe law Of God and of Nature.
1t IS a great responsibility any woman takes upon
herself when she imagnes that she is doing her
young and unsophisticated woman friend a favor
by instructng her in these evil ways The young
married women of these times often advised
not to bring children into the world Have good
time for few years at least and don't be in
hurry. is the thoughtless and pernicous advice
often given.
" Race suicide, as 1t Is called by President.
is striking the very foundation of civilization.
President Roosevelt has done the Republic great
service by placing his influence in this matter on
the side of riPht. and he presents a happy example
in the possession of a large family OF children.

unless leavened by Christianity, the wanton de-

Of newborn children also very common among
the Romans. Up to the days of the empire there
was no legal check to this inhuman crime, except
by a law framed in the twilight Of Roman history
and which became obsolete.
The father had entire discretion to preserve or
to destroy his child. Paullus. the jurist. admits
that fathers had this right. Augustus who made
some efforts to check the evil from motives of
humanity, but alarmed at the decrease of popuIa-
