Reorganization" Forced by Public

CIamor to Abandon Effort.
Philadelphia, May 30.-After a con-
test lasting five days the Republican
"Crganization.' led by Insurance Com
missioner Israel w. Durham, was
forced Saturday by public opposition
and clamor to abandon it's efforts to
extend the lease sf the city gas works
to the United Gas Improvement com
pany for seventy. five years. Thomas
Dolan, president of the company, for
warded a formal letter to the presi-
dent of the select and common
branches of the city councils with
drawing his proposition to advance
the city $25 100000 in consideration
of the extension of the lease which
the company now holds.
The withdrawal of the United Gas
Improvement company's offer is un-
doubtedly a signal victory for Mayor
Weaver in his fight with the Organ
ization,'' though it does not mean the
end of the battle. The injunction pro-
ceedings brought by David Smythe,
former director of public safety, and
Peter E. Costello. former director of
public works. against Mayor Weaver
and their successors, Col. Sheldon
PottVf and J. Lincoln Acker, to re-
strain the mayors appointees from
conducting the affairs of the depart
ments, is still to come up.
Preachers Refer to FIGHT.
The gas lease fight of last week
which resulted in the advocates of the
proposition bowling to popular will by
withdrawing the proposed lease from
the city councils, served as the text
tor many sermons in Philadelphia
churches yesterday.
The greater part of Mayor Weav-
ers day was taken up with religious
duties. He attended divine services at
Temple Baptist church in the fore
noon and in the afternoon he taught
his Bible class at that church as usual.

superintendent referred to the mayor
and the part he took in the gas lease
night. Mr.. Weaver was called upon to
speak a few words, and among other
things, said:
"1t is the peoples victory. The
people have given me entirely too
much credit. | say to you it's victory
"a magnificent victory of the people
But in exulting in victory splendid as
1T has been, we must not for a mo-
ment imagine that the task has been
accomplished. We shall have a long
and probably tedious light before us,
but, with the help of God the people
will eventually come out victorious"
The mass, meetings scheduled for
this week in opposition to the gas
lease, will, it is understood, be turned
into gatherings for the confirmation
of the mayors new department chiefs,

men will be found to be no less re-
sponsible than women.
Girls of 20 may know more of phy-
siology and anatomy than did their
grandmothers and 1t is presumable
that young men know trifle more
ABOUT great many things than did
their grandfathers. While 1t is true
that many young women shirk the
duties of maternity what are the
ideas OF young men on the subject?
1t took courage for our grandpa

sheltered larger families than we see

MS means sutficient to support a wife
and maintain comfortable home.
Does he want children? Yes, two or
three nice, quiet, well behaved, pretty
children who will grow up in an ideal
way to be comfort when he is old.
That is we'll and good.
But where is the young man who
would shoulder the responsibility and
listen to the noise of brood of lusty
growing boys and girls such as our
grandparents raised. Ask him IL he is
willing to raise a family of four (not
speaking of eight or 10) without the
idea of paregoric or modern nurse
will he walk the floor himself at
night with baby when it cries, and
smoke into little Johnnie's ear that
aches, or dress the scrambling young

cooks the breakfast?
The typical answer to the modern
young man would be, mot on your

Yet those were the things our
grandfathers did right cheerfully,
and our own fathers too, perhaps, in
early days when oregon families were
