cities Of reactionary sentiment.
The latest reasons for opposing large
families was given by Mrs S. NJ. Cory
at the meeting of the Society, for Poll

very practical element of taxation and
declared that the well-to-do cannot af

RUSSIANS DECLARE ...
D0UMA PLAN BAD

Moscow, Sept. 26.-The congress of
the representatives of the zemstvos and
municipalities in the interior of Rus
STA and Of the Polish Lithuanian prov
inces began yesterday at the residence
of Prince Tcherbatoff under the presi-
dency Of Count Heyden, one Of the mar
shals Of the nobility, who presented to
the emperor the petition drawn up by
the last all-Russian zemstvo congress.
After lengthy debate the following
resolution was adopted: -. .r 49,,
"The zemstvo and municipal congress
considers that the national douma will
not give national representation in the
true sense. Having in view, however,
that the electoral assemblies, uniting a
great part of the social forces Of the
empire, may serve as a rallying point
for the general movement looking to
the attainment of political freedom,
this congress recognizes the necessity
for those Russian citizens who are
united on the political program formu.

to enter the douma in the largest mum
bers possible for the purpose Of form
ing there united group with the object
