A Sentence Utterly Inadequate.

Two men were found guilty in the
United States Federal Court sitting in
Omaha. recently, of fencing in nearly
a quarter of million acres OF Gov
eminent land to which they had no
title. The finding depended upon a
plea of guilty. Following this find
ing, the court sentenced the self-con-
fessed offenders-and the punishment
imposed upon them was six hours re-
sIraint of their liberty in the Gus
tody of a United States marshal
10 wonder the Secretary of the In
terror exclaimed. Il am surprised and
indignant The punishment is utter
ly inadequate The punishment is
utterly inadequate.
The offense TO which these men
pleaded guilty is specifically preserib-
ed by statute. 1t is in effect the in
closing for personal use OF lands
owned by the Government, and
open TO settlement in good faith BY
any of its citizens. The existence of
the fence is thus. first. a bar to the
proper development of the public
lands. But 1t has another aspect
which is much more serious. 1t is a
pretense at ownership; and the erec-
ton of the fence is abundant war
rant for the presumption that these
defendants contemplated in the fu-
ture a claim that the grounds ineios-
ed had become theirs. The Law
looks upon this offense so harshly
that it provides for a fine of $1,000
and Imprisonment not exceeding one
year for each ofense. These mer

item of profit and loss This six

Keeping the Issue Plain.

The impression is gathering
strength that no concerted effort will
be made TO revise the tariff at the
first session OF the Fifty-ninth Con
gress until railroad rate legislation
has been enacted. 1t is fair as
sumption this will be the wish OF the
President. and II is not too much to
hope the friends of that great project,
whether Republicans or Democrats,
will follow an example SO conspicu-
Gus for discretion and good sense.
The President realizes, probably,
that there is little chance of securing
tariff reforms from the Congress that

many of its members stand pat" is
more than a shibboleth- is an
article of their faith, from which
they will not retreat. Mr.. Roosevelt
is not going to hammer his head
against the stone wall OF such a con-
viction-if it can be called a convic-
tion-as that. He is not of the
brand of statesmen who delight in
declaring for the unattainable.
The proper regulation OF railroad
rates, which is a matter OF equal i'm
portance, stands on another basis. It
is Overwhelmingly popular through
the country, and from the inception
of the movement is assured OF an
Overwhelming majority In the popu-
lar branch of the National Legisla-
ture. Democratic and Republican
sentiment are united in approval.
Why, then. stir up needless an

Race Suicide on the Map.

Intently as the country has follow
ed the discussion of race suicide, it
is doubtful if many Americans have
realized that the question has a
geographical aspect. It has. If you
don't believe it, read THE Proper
ton of Children in the United States"
in the current number of the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine.
One of the editors has been read
ing a census bulletin by Walter F.
Wilcox on this subject. and he finds
these very interesting conclusions
Justified by the data set forth:
That the smallest proportion Of
children to every !, 900 possible moth
ers exists in the District of Column
bia, where there is only one child
under five years to every four women
of maternal age.
That the next smallest proportion
is that for Massachusetts, where there
is only one child for every three such
women.
That the largest proportion is that
for North Dakota and Iudian Terri
tory, where there are two children
for every three such women,
The District Of Columbia is not
as badly of as this comparison would
indicate, and the Geographic Maga-
zine IS quick TO come to the rescue
From the sociological standpoint
says the writer, "the District of Co
lumbia should be classed with cities
rather than with States and Terri
tories" So it should. as far as race
suicide is concerned; for all its homes
are city homes In equipment and
standards. though nearly all of them
have country space and air. But
what is TO be said OF Massachusetts;
Is this the effect of the higher cul.
tures
Families, according to our old
fashioned American standards, still
prevail. however. IN fact. they al.
