Raising q Boy.
New York Globe

From the New York Globe.
In his meeting at the Berkeley Lyceum
last evening Mr.. Upton Sinclair frankly de-
clared what all the trouble. was about.
MY idea in this thing he said. lis to
find way to raise little boy" Not to
give an impetus to socialism. nor to accom-
plish an overturning of some established
industry, but simply to find a corral for
Buster Brown and to teach him things.
Mr.. Sinclair very naiyely despatched the
rumors of subterranean plotting against
the existing order of things.
Never before has 1t been SO difficult to
raise a youngster. 1t becomes apparent
that one cannot be raised nowadays with
out solving the servant problem. the house
problem. the problem of yegetarianism. the
problem of light meals or table dhote
breakfasts, the problem of social equality,
the race problem and several other prob
lens of Importance
Mr. Roosevelt's attention should be call
ed to what was said and done at the CO.
operative colony confab last evening. Not
for a long time have his anti-race suicide
preachments been given such a serious
blow. Few hesitant young men and women
contemp la ting matrimony to whom the
Berkeley Lyoeum message comes will have
the courage to marry. 1t requires some
thing more than the strenuous life to carry
its consequences through to successful
issue. 1t appears that to raise boy you
must raise the deuce.

the earnings Of the United States Steel Cor

cording to Pittsburg authority. were more
than SIS, O00, 600. The earnings for the cur

Comstock waged one too many bat.

he tackled bigger proposition than
he had bargained for. While Com.

the league, whose quarters no raided
selling magazines on the ground
that they contained iewd pictures,
the art students were planning little
surprise of their own. Members
went to Washington and showed
that Comstock had abused his privi-

right to enter any postoffice and
open letters as he saw fit. The
Postofice Department was made to
sec the matter in this light, and
his credentials have been cancelled.
