ST. PETERSBURG. April II, 12:45 a.
m.--The Son of The Fatherland, now
the leading exponent of constitutional
ISM fiercely denounces the manner in
which, it alleges, the bureaucracy is
trying to defeat the war which all Rus
sia is wagng against it.
1t charges the bureaucracy with in
augurating a systematic campaign to
sag public opinion, instancing the re-
cent action against the barristers' con-
gress here and the prohibition of meet
ings of other professional bodies in
Moscow.
At the same time the paper charges
the bureaucracy with inspiring the local
authorities everywhere to fight the re-
form movement by setting one class of
the population against the other.
"All the effort of the bureaucracy to
quiet public opinion" the article con-
tinues, "will be in vain, the other tricks
will be unavailing. 1t has sown the
wind and will reap the whirlwind."

NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN
IN SESSION
ADOPT STRONG RESOLUTIONS
High Tribute Is Paid to the Life

ford
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-Resolu.
tions touching the questions Of the
true family life and other subjects
have been adopted by the National
Council of Women in executive session
They are as follows:
Believing that the progress Of hum
anity is best furthered by improvement
Of the individual and that the inn
provement of the individual is depend
ent upon heredity, environments and
nature, be it,
Resolved, that the perfection of the
home, the institution in which hered-
ity is fixed, the first environment OF
the child formed, its first nurture
received, should be the object, the SOL
icitude and the endeavor of every man
and every woman who loves humanity
and would serve it.
ALSO believing that the home can be
perfected only in a society which re-
quires equal personal chastity of men
and women and confers equal respon-
sibility upon both; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the National Council
of Women of the United States rejoices
in the organization at its fifth tri-
ennial of committee which will focus
its endeavor upon equal liberty of
women with men and equal personal
purity OF men and women.
Further believing that what is
peculiarly needed to secure true fam
lily life is far more of plain living and
high thinking on the part of the more
privileged, and a deeper sense of re-
sponslbility on the part of the citizen,
be 1t further,
Resolved, that In working these con-
ditions the National Council of Women
shall keep in mind that the safety and
the stability of the home, of society and
Of the state are principally dependent
upon the character of their individual
members"
Tribute to Mrs. Stanford
The council also passed a resolution
extolling the memory of Mrs Leland
stanford. This declares that the part
nership of interest, responsibility, self
denial and aggressive effort existing
between Leland Stanford and his wife
during the years of their struggle for
material success furnished an example
worthy of imitation; that it was in
this partnership that Mrs. Stanford
developed those qualities which justi-
fled her husband in making her sole
executriX Of their large fortune, and
that in Mrs. Stanford's demonstration
of the possession Of sagacity, judg-
ment and fidelity which justified her
husbands will, the public respect for
women has been inevitably strength
ened and increased. The resolution
speaks of the unparalleled respect paid
Mrs. Stanford at her death and says
this was justified by this womans
life, whose habitual prudence, phlan>
thropic service and ideal fidelity has
lifted the standard of public expecta-
ton of womanhood in respect TO these
qualities"
