Parental Rights.

An interesting case is on trial in
Des A1Oines. There a tenant while in
possession OF premises, was by his
wife, much 10 the satisfaction of both
parents, presented with an heir I'M
mediately following this auspicious
event came a notice from the landlord
to vacate. he making the contention
that the birth of the child was a VIC
lation OF the terms of the lease. The
tenant holds that such a contract
would be contrary to public policy,
and hence null and void. That the
tenant is correct, and the position of
the landlord untenable and absurd is
the only possible vindication of the
law. The American baby mot only
has the right to be born, but 10 a roof
over its head.
1t is true that in many instances a
house or fiat could not be rented with
safety TO a family made up OF a troop
of riOJ0us boys Particularly might
this be the case were the dwelling
furnished. Or it might be proper to
make conditions out OF regard for the
feelings of other tenants. But the
barring out Of children has degener-
ated 10 a ridiculous abuse. They are
treated as though alien interlopers,
and the father and mother subjected
10 annoyance as If their contribution
to the race had been an omense
against society.
In cities the ownership Of a home
becomes to the ordinary citizen a pos
sibility more and more remote. He
has TO hire a place in which to live.
He - under obligations TO shelter
within this place his sons and daugh-
tiers. The continued fnsinuation that
il is disgracefuI to have sons and
daughters is an insult, and the con
tinuance OF it grows tiresome.
OF course, the nervous spinster. the
grouchy bachelor, and the wife who
shudders al the thought Of mother
hood, must have a quiet retreat. but
they ought to be able to find it with
out conspiring with the landlord to
make the family man and woman
wanderers On The face of the earth.
The Des MOines landlord ought TO
be ashamed of himself, and everybody
ashamed of the law if IL sustains him
in his silly and baleful attitude.

Russia and Peace.

Il believe Russia is the sincere
friend of peace. and you should al
ways remember that Russia did not
start the war
Such was the remark made by An
drew Carnegie upon his recent return
from abroad. 1t was more than base
less. 1t was actually silly. Russia
has progressed through strife, and
never sought TO progress by other
means. It's history has been one OF
violence and blood and oppression,
the unfolding chapters maintaining
the standard. The preachment OF the
Car in favor of peace has the aspect
OF a sinister mockery. Russia viii be
peaceful either when it possesses the
earth, or some combination has ef-
faced it as a power. The day for
one or the other contingency is re-
mote.
The world was not greatly i'm
pressed by the attitude of the Car
OF ali the Russias in favor OF uni
versaI peace. At the very moment
when his cali for a general conference
at The Hague was being read, his
own ministers were involving him in
war. He and his fellow-countrymen
held al that time a dominion over
Finland as shameful as the triumvi-
rate partition OF Poland. Peace. in
the Russian primer, belongs with the
nation that has the largest army.
Then came another report which
reflects the same discredit on the pre-
tensions OF Russia in favor OF uni
yersal disarmament. II is to be found
il the following dispatch from China:
Pakin. oct z1-The suppression pre-
walls here THAI the Russian legation

publication by Great Britain of CORE

M the Dalai Lama
III has been known for a long time in
Fekln that in 1890. al the time OF the
British s-kklm conVanJOl with China,
Russ-2 wrote three letters 10 the Dalai
Lama Offering assistance 10 him should
he be meuaced Dy the British
The Peiziu officials frequently refer
10 the letters
The Dalai Lama was not TO suffer
while Russian arms could protect
him. Especially not If the assault came
from the British. The very. proceed

land meant TO absorb any part OF
Asia which was unable to defend it,
SELF military help could be had by
applying TO the chief mover for
peace. Later events have developed
that the Dalai Lama did not fear
Great Britain's assaults any more
than Russia's help AT any rate. he
endured the one without risking the
other.
And now the proner TO fight Great
Britain has come into Great Britain's
possession, and Russia. always friend
~ to the English King, as everyone
knows. is dreaduny embarrassed.
Yet, in the light Of the peace congress
al The Hague Russia's confusion over
these unfortunate letters is nothing
Ia her awkWardness had she gone to
war with Great Britain and lost sew
eral hundred thousand of her sol
diers. She needs the soldiers just
now TO preserve peace in another part
OF the continent.
The killing Of a number OF inOmen-
sive English fishermen is an incident
perhaps, but il tends TO c0mpIicate a
situation that already had had diplo-
macy perLurDed
