ROOseVelt's Race Suicide
Theory Is Far From RIGHT

By Mrs SARAH PLATT DECKER. President aionalf Federation Of
Womens Clubs
RESIDENT ROOSEVELT says that race suicide is the
4 greatest drawback in America, that the country is not half
populated and that one child or NONE AT ALL in a
family financially capable of raising a half dozen is a COM
mon circumstance.
Loo many degenerates have already been born into the world.
None OF the morally depraved should ever unite, as the offspring must
necessarily be corrupt, and union in all classes should exist only
WHEN LOVE HAS CONQUERED the situation.
Girls should not marry until there is absolutely no other way out
OF it. That is to say, they should be s TREMENDOUSLY IN
LOVE that they cannot live apart from their beloved.

Mail Carrying Service.

Competition in bidding for mai.
contracts, particularly in rural dis
tricts, is fast becoming a matter OF
history. according to postoffice officials
Formerly Uncle Sam found carriers
for many of the smaller routes for
practically nothing, but in nearly
every such case the man who hollis
the job nowadays receives a more or
less adequate compensation. Under
the old regime the most extraordinary
condition OF affairs often existed. Fo;
instance, the mail carrier at Lake
Charles. La. was under contract for
four years to pay TO the government
the sum Of $50 a year for carrying
the mails by steamer a distance OF
fifty-fve miles three times each week.

Of course, in the business standing
which he derived from the service.
This contract has just ended and the
new Incumbent Is 10 receive SdldIN
Of $4,000 a year for doing just the
same work that cost his predecessor
$50 annually. A still more curious
instance of the old order is found in
the case of West Brid0eton, VT. where
the carrier for going twelve times q
week to Woodstock six miles away,
received the princely remuneration of
one cent each year for his services
His successor now receives 800. A
former carrier of Freedom, ~ H., also
distinguished Himself by carrying the
mails several miles daily for two and
a half mills a year The job now
pays $3.50. Altogether Uncle Sans
letter carriers are coming into newer
and better conditions. to which the
automobile as a future means Of dis
tributlon forms a very attractive II
not yet actually existing addition.

TALK IN ENGLAND
CHEAP BUT POOR
Some Strange Conditions That For

Service.
DOZEN REAR ADMRALs TO GO

Washington, Sept Stalk would
seem to be cheap in England at pres
emf. according TO Information received
at the state department-tha is, talk
by means of mechanical devices for
communication between distant points
for the English government finds
itself compelled to reduce to great
extent of tolls on the telegraph lines
which it runs, in order to compete
with the privately-owned telephone.
A rather curious condition of affairs
exists in England from the same
cause that has left her far behind in
electric railways as compared to this
country; that is. the municipal owner
ship craze. since the privaiely-owned
telephone is to a great extent used flr
the transmission of long distance
messages which in this country on
accoutn Of greater personal convent
ence are naturally sent by telegraph.
The English government, indeed,
finds increasing difficulty, according
to the reports received here, in COM
peting through its own telegraph lines
with the elephole-about the only
thing which has not yet come under
the control OF municipal ownership In
King Edwards Isle. But even when
tempted by low rates the Engishmap
doesn't seem to care to take advan'
tage of them, for, according to the
latest report OF the census bureau
Americans use the "phone" and the
"wre" many times oftener than do
the natives OF the mother country.
All of which would seem to indicate
that John Bull has fouHd his govern
ment and city business monopolies
more or less of a losing game.

MUST BE LABELED
BEFORE SHIPPED
After October First Packers VIII
Have To Take Chances With
Present supply.
SECRETARY LAYS DOWN LAW

Washington. ID. c.. Sept. Sec
rotary Wilson assured the represen-
tatives of the meat packing inter-
ests of the country, with whom he
continued his conference today, that
he had no authority to extend be-
yond the first of October. the plac-
ing Of labels on canned goods or
other meat products.
He told the packers fatty that they
must be prepared on that date TO
properly label their goods or they
would not be permitted to send them
through the channels of Interstate
commerce.
The question was raised as 10 the
status of goods now on the shelves
of wholesale ana retail merchants OF
the country. The secretary SAID II was
manifestly impossible for the gov
eminent to inspect them and that the
owners or holders of the foods, he
suggested, would have to take their
chances on selling them.
One thing was certain, they could
not be shipped from one state to an
other. The law. however, does not
prohibit their sale where they happen
now TO be.
The disposal OF such goods de-
pended upon the desire Of the con-
sumner. Wilson said that the packers
were anxious TO conform in all re-
spects to the law and that the con-
ference had made evident the fact
that some OF them would be unable
TO comply with all OF its provisions
by the first of October. because they
had not been sufficiently forehanded
in their preparations. These men,
necessarily would be obliged the sec
rotary said, to confine their business
operations within their own state
line until such time as they were pre-
pared fully to meet the requirement.
