BELIEVES IN RESTRICTION
While Showing That 1t Hastens the

Providence, Il. l., Dec. IS. - The
Economic Association the Social
iCal society held a joint sectional NEE
ing here. The subjects discussed were
western civilization and the birth
rate" and 1.-THE extent of child labor
in the United States" Walter F. Will
cox. of Cornell, read a paper on the
former subject. 1t was followed by a
discussion by Professor Edward A.
Ross. of the University Of Wisconsin,
i!l which he said that "A most mo-
mentOus factor in shaping the future
is the downward tendency in the birth
rate of the Occidental peoples. In the
United States in 1900 the proportion of
children under 3 TO women of child
bearing age was only three-quarters OF
what it was in 1860.
1.-The phenomenon is due not so much
TO avoidance or pOStpOnement Of mar.

size of the family. The spirit of dem
Ocracy makes every one eager to rise

SECRET SOCIETY.

What is the moral effect of Free
Masonry, Odd Fellowship, Knights
of Labor and the numerous secret
societies npon the home? Solomon,
the wise man, said: Discover not
a secret to another" and he had
good reasons for laying such an IN
junction, for IN his time, as at the
present, there were people too much
disposed to tell all they knew. One
half, the trouble in every community
comes from the fact that so many
people have not the capacity to keep
their months shut. We have two
ears but only one tongue which Is
suggestive of the fact that we should
hear more than we tell. By the
power of a secret society great
many neighborhoods and even ma
tons fly apart. By the power OF a
secret kept, great charities, reforma-
tory movements and Christian en-
terprises may be advanced. It IS
an often discussed question whether
associations that do not have their
work with closed doors, and admit
their member with pass words, and
greet each other with a secret grip
are right or wrong. Our answer is
that it depends entirely upon the
object for which they meet. If it is
to pass the hours in revelry and
obscene talk, or to plot trouble to
the state, then we say with emphasis
that it is wrong. But where the
object is the improvement OF the
mind, the enlargement Of the heart,
the defense Of the government, then
we say with Just as much emphasis
that they are a blessing. There Is
no need for those who plan for right
over wrong should publish to the
world their intentions. Secrecy OF
plot and execution are wrong only
when the object and end are nefari-
Gus. Every family is a secret
society. every business firm and
every banking institution. Men
who have no capacity to keep a Sc
cret are unfit for positions Of trust
anywhere. Secret societies have
done incalculable good. Some Of
the secret societies have poured a
very heaven of sunshine and bene-
dict1on into the home Of suffering.
Some Of them are founded in fidelity
to good citizenship and the Bible.
Christ has given US a rule by which
we may Judge, not only all in
1ividuaIg. but all secret societies,
by their fruits shall ye know

We don't know what arrangements
the railroads intend making with the
newspapers for their advertising dur
ing the coming year but in our
humble opinion they have the right
to continue the old method in paying
transportation regardless of the de-
cision of the interstate commerce
commission. That tribunal has de-
cided that all transportation must be
paid for in cash. How about checks?
A check isn't cash. But if a man
gave a railroad company check in
payment for ticket would he be
violating the law? Suppose that a
railroad agent comes into this Office
and buys seventy-five dollars worth
Of space from us and hands US three
thousand miles transportation in
payment. Is there any law TO pre-
vent our acceptance Of the trans
portation: Again suppose he gives
us seventy five dollars II cash and
we hand it back to him in exchange
for mileage. And when we get
our clutches on the mileage where
is the statute that prohibits its ac-
ceptance by railroad conductors?
The interstate commissioners seem
to be human in the matter Of max
ing mistakes.
