Council Meeting.

At a regular session of the council Monday evening an ordi- nance was introduced and given first reading calling for the con crete walk on the south side of Second street, from the Choctaw depot to block beyond Ash street. The walk is to be put down by the property owners, and in the event they fail the city performs the work and the property stands for the cost.
 No action has been taken on the Walnut street walk, and it is probable that a similar ordinance may be drafted to cover the work and thus avoid litigation promised the improvements dis trict. MT. Gustave Jones, rep resenting the remonstrators to that method of proceeding, act ing for his clients, agreed to support and act in accordance with such an ordinance, which is acceptable to those who were prominent in the formation of  an improvement district.

Cheap FlnancieTinq.

In the matter of granting incorpora-
ton papers the District Of Columbia
has no reason to compete with New

been a scandal That anybody with
the necessary fee at command could
get from New Jersey the right TO in
corporate, this wholly without regard

ganization, is understood To an ex-
tent that approaches the scandalous.
similar methods are found to have
been IN vogue here. The difference is
that New Jersey has made money out
OF the business, and is not ashamed.
The District has made no money, and
is ashamed, not Of this fact, but that
it has been made party to doubtful
schemes.
President Roosevelt has called at
tention TO the necessity for reform.
The necessity is plain enough the
minute the facts are understood. Ger

H.
1t may De that they have nothing CT
value to back the elegant prospectuses
they send out, and that the stock is
worth only the paper on which it is
printed. This usually is a good quail

tiers and all impressive seal. They
can announce any capital stock that
happens to please them, and sell while
the demand lasts Then they start d

posed here, the District viii have none

BIG ENDOWMENT

Washington Alumna to

Washington alumnae of Bryn Mawr

aid in raising a million-dollar endow-
ment fund, TO be used by the college for
academic purposes
In order 10 maintain the institution on
its present efficient basis and TO provide
for new conditions constantly arising, the
6lumnae of Bryn Mawr throughout the
country have pledged themselves 10 raise
Sl.6y0, go. Washington's share in the huge
fund has been estimated az s100. CO. This
sum must be promised by June l, 1905

Big Families.

For man to take his pen in hand
and refrain from writing something
about race suicide seems nearly i'm
possible. A Chicago doctor has been
the latest. In the course of a column
or so of advice he says: TT is i'm
posss bic for woman to bring up
eight or nine children without two or
three of them being degenerates'
Perhaps the doctor is right The
use of the term *degenerates" has,
however, become SO common that it
has little significance. If he means
that some of this brood Of children
viii be deficient physically Or morally,
it is hardly justifabIe to ascribe this
TO the mother. Every feature of en-
vironment has to be taken into con-
/ sideration The plain truth is that
stances, cannot properly rear eight
or nine children because they lack
the means to provide for them. The
father cannot earn sufficient to feed
and clothe and educate them. They
are bound to suffer from, neglect The
later additions come into household
where there is no real welcome for
! them The mother is tired with the
| burden of her duties, and the father
discouraged with the hopeless grind
of his effort TO sustain those depend
ent upon him
Nevertheless, the preachment IN
favor of the small family, or of no
family, is wrong. In the present con-
/ dition of society it usually IS the fam
lily that is unfit in all respects that
Dounteously produces young. Those
who are capable mentally and finan-
/ cially to guide children and star
! them out for themselves are too busy
or too lazy to accept the responsible
ity The consequence is that many
strains OF blood that have been force
full in the affairs of this country fo1
generations are dying out. The ma
tional character. by process too SLOW
| to be discerned, is changing. It i!

For DUST Rates.

The address OF President Roosevelt
before the Union League Club, at
Philadelphia, was a notably clear ex-
position of the spirit of the Admins
tration on the subject of transporta-
ton. 1t was a plea for justice TO
shippers and to carriers. It pointed
out that unless the changes sought
TO be made could be made gradually
and equitably, the neglect would lead
to violent and Improbable attacks
upon invested capital. He made clear
that there was no design of attacking
the rich man as such, or Of uphold
ing the poor man as such. The only
thought was to place all upon an even
plane. and give to one the chance
not denied the other. In brief, there
was to be an end to discrimination.
This would protect shippers, and pro-
tect conscientious managers OF trans
portation against INSCRIPTIONS rivals.
Interstate commerce, the President
affirmed, fell naturally within pur-
view OF Federal authority. That it
should do this was in consonance
with the spirit of the Constitution.
Conditions had so changed that as
they now prevailed they could not
have been foreseen by the trainers
OF the Constitution, and restrictions
made specifically to fit. Yet, in ali
probability, they could now be met
without change in the Constitution,
although this might be essayed as a
last resort. The President was direct
IN his admonition that there should
be Federal body empowered to fix
rates. to prevent rebates, and TO es-
tablish justice in the world OF traffic.
The enthusiasm with which his re-
marks were received was significant
Even more significant IS the circum-
stance that Congress if, as now ap-
pears, its will has been embodied in
the Esch-Townsend bill, just reported
lis in full accord with the purpose of
the Executive. The evils Of diserimi-
nation have been exposed, and shown
