childless families where a birth would
bring Il blessing. must open their
doors and their hearts to these little
fortune.
These babies are normal children.
Crippled, diseased or mentally defec-
tive children are not received by the
home for the obvious reason that the
mission of this charity is the placing
of it's wards in homes by adoption. A
published picture shows a pair of

very Jealous efforts to guard the legal
rights of all parties concerned. Each
child is received as a ward of the or
ganization by legal surrender from
parent of guardian. or a formal order
from a proper court of record. All
adoption or contract papers are made
on specially prepared forms arranged
by an excellent lawyer. and the home
insists on the requirements of the
statutes being strictly complied with
in every detail. All legal papers and
historical matter relating either to the
children or the homes i'm which they
are placed are carefully filed in fire
proof vault at the central office. Three
months trial is made before the chill
iren may be legally adopted. This as
a protection to the little ones as we'll

adoption.
There is or should be a golden cord
of sympathy stretching between the
childless homes of Iowa and the Iowa
Home for homeless children. Nearly
every family without children feels the
void which nature has left untitled.
The need of these little children is as

mINNEsoTA's TwINE PLANT.

The Minnesota upper house has
passed a bill authorizing the Mime
sofa board of control to extend the
successful penitentiary binding twine
industry. The bin provides that 80
per cent OF the net income of the plant
may be used in this extension which is
presumed to be done by purchasing
more machinery, erecting buildings to
accommodate it and thus furnishing
employment for more prisoners in
manufacturing binding Irvine. The
Irvine plant Melted about 100000 last
year, one half of which wiuld give the
board $4,000. to eXpend in improve
ments the first year. Naturally. with
the increased facilities offered, the out
put and profits will continue to grow
md the improvement fund rise proper
3ionately.
The bill is we'll received in Mime
4. sofa where the prison Irvine industry
has Won popular approval. A leading
paper the Minneapolis Tribune, says
that the only complaint is that the
plant does not employ more prisoners
and turn out more product. There has
been complaint for some years that
~ manufacturing plant of the prison
would not furnish employment for
the increasing number of prisoners
This led to partial return to the old
method of farming out the labor of the
prisoners to manufacturers who would
put up their own plant.
That S an unpopular method for
many reasons. Both labor and capital
complain of prison competition, and
prison contracts are notorious source
of public scandal. On the other hand,
the employment of prisoners by the
state in making binding Irvine for the
market has been popular and sue
cessful IN every way. Prisoners ara
healthily employed, farmers have
cheap and sure source of necessary
IF their industry and there is no pub
lie complaint of competition.

WHAT 1T ALL MEANS,

Senatorial dignity just now is up for
vindication. We have always known
that the dignity of the senate was Il
sacred thing, so none of us should be
surprised that the senate should persist
in amending the word agreement
into the. word treaty regardless OF
the presidents letter to Senator Gull
lom declaring that he would not under
take the negotiation of arbitration
treaties containing any such changes.
Few of us are surprised that the senate
stood upon it's dignity. Our only inter-
est is in the significance of this breach
with the executive.
In the negotiation of general arbitra
ton treaties declaring in advance the
intention of this government to arbi
trate certain kinds of disputes Shout
they arise in the future, the presiden
has sought to- provide that such arb
tration may proceed under the gener-
al provisions of an arbitration treaty
whenever the executive could make al
agreement" with another country up
on the specific controversy under dis
pute. To change the word "agree.
ment' to treaty" would make a spec
ial treaty negotiated by the president
and ratified by the senate necessary
every time the arbitration of any dis
pute should be attempted and the pres
ident very properly refused to ask any
foreign government to sign so mean
ingless a treaty as this. The senate
however insisted that the constitution
gave to it jurisdiction over all our
treaties, and this venerable body did
not purpose to delegate it's authority
to any executive. Technically the
senate was right, but practically in the
"get-up-an do something course of
business administration the president
was right.
However. this is not the real issue
In the controversy. If this were all
the president would not have publicly
Inundated the dignified senate with
his OPEN letter nor would the senate
have stood out for its rights and pro-
ceeded to convict the president of
seeking the power of a dictator. which
is the implied charge in it's
action. The senate has never
forgotten how President Roosevelt
Appealed to the people and forced it
