FAMILIES OF 4 TO 6.
Prof. Ross Thinks That Is About the
Proper Number.

Chicago, March 14.-SmaII families
have new champion in the person of
Prof Edward A. Ross. the University
of Wisconsin sociologist, who combats
President Roosevelt's theory and lays
down novel argument for the re-
StrictiCn of the human race. He takes
a stand agains tthe popular views of
what he calls the hobby riders and
shrinkage in population Lies in the
human Will as influenced by certain
factors which have their roots deep in
the civilization of our times" These
factors, he declares, are democracy,
the emancipation of women, and the
decay of religious beliefs.
Restriction of the birth rate, he al
leges, will have one result that
dwarfS all Others" namely, that it will
check population pressure, which, he
asserts, is the principal cause of war,
mass poverty, wolfish competition, and
class conflict.
ciety will for the first time become
master of it's destiny"
The conclusion of his views. which
are presented under the title. West
in the current number of the Ameri-
can Journal of Sociology. issued from
the University of Chicago press yester-
day, is as follows:
"Restriction is a movement at the
bottom salutary, and the undoubted
evils in its train appear to be minor,
or transient, or self-limiting, or cur
able"
Prof. Ross declares it Is a mistake
to attribute the decline in the birth
rate to the popular causes, as the COM
Portable celibacy of cities, the broad
ening freedom of divorce. the post
ponement of marriage, and others
which he assigns to the "hobby
riders"
The effects of reducing the size of
the average family, Prof. Ross states
are: "A rising plane of comfort. a
growth CT savings, a wider diffusion
of ownership. a gain in longevity. a
lessening of infant mortality, the ces-
sation of war, mass poverty, wolf1sh
competition and class conflict.
Prof. Ross. however, decries the
evils of false" restriction and de-
clares the standard family should have
from four to six children.

NEED OF STATE COACH.
Governor Hoch VIII Recommend One
for His Successor

1 did not ask the legislature to make
any appropriate for the purchase of
horses, carriages Or an automobile for
the executive mansion said Governor
Hoch today, but I want to say that 1
snail recommend such a purchase for
my successor in office, whoever he may
be. Had Mr.. Harris been elected COVER
nor would have urged that the pur-
chase be made for him. The state ought
TO furnish its chief executive with some
sort of suitable conveyance. At all
the state institutions the superintendent
mas carriage furnished by the state,
but the governor of the state, who is
called upon to entertain distinguished
visitors at the capital, has none.
The state built a very fine $500
barn at the executive mansion, and /
suppose that had Mr.. Bailey been re-
elected governor, he would have had a
fine equipment for it, whether the state
paid for it or not. But 1 do not feel
that can afford to buy for my use here
In Topeka conveyance which would
be entirely unsuitable for me when l
retire from office, and go back to my
humble life al Marion. I do expect to
purchase some sort of a conveyance
which can be used for general purposes,
state should provide for its governor in
the matter of carriages.
1t should not be necessary for man,
to hold the office of governor to be
able to provide the carriages
suitable to take ca binet officers, COVER
nors of other states. and other visitors
to the executive mansion and about the
city. Heretofore it has been necessary

to get hold of, instead of having car

FIVE THOUSAND AT WORK.
Big Improvements Being Made on
Southern Kansas Division of S. f.

Big improvements Being Made on
Southern Kansas Division of S. F.
The southern Kansas division of the
Santa Fe is now employing over 5000
men on track work, there being four
teen big gangs, averaging so men to
the gang, at work at various places
along thu line AND branches In spite
of all these men. work is progressing
slowly. There will probably not be
any larger number put on, however.
The pay rel! for this class of labor al
ready runs hundred thousand dollars
more a month than 1t did two years
ago on the same territory.
The big trouble is that the men at
work are foreigners. Good American
labor is hard to get for railroad pur-
poses. The men get more than in
is cheap, but it is expensive for all
that. Officials estimate that one
American is worth about three for
eignerS
There have been a number of ma
tionalities tried on this division. First
Italians and then Greeks were tried,
and both were unsatisfactory. Next
cans are being most used now They
are the most satisfactory foreign labor
the railroad men have found. The
Mexican is inclined to drink and fight
hars better than the other fellows. He
will do more work and he is inclined
to stick to his job pretty well.
The ordinary Mextcan will stay at
Job that long. Then he wants to take
a trip back home He will give his
foreman notice perhaps a month be-
forehand that he wants to leave for
visit with the folks" he is given a
PASS, and away he goes. AS soon as
he is broke he sends word that he
wants to go to work again, and if there
is anything to do. the railroad will
haul him back One thing that recon-
inends Il Mexican to the powers that be
is that he wants to bring his family
with hinI-his wife ana children and
perhaps his uncle and his auhts. nieces
and nephews besides. This tends to
make him steadier. Men who bring
their families are given positions with
rermanent stationary gangs.

ASK FOR LESS SPEED.
Chicago Men Want Eighteen Hour
Schedule Changed.

Chicago, March 14.-The New York
Central and the Pennsylvania railroad
companies will be petitioned by Chi
cagoans to change their eighteen hour
service between Chicago and New York
to twenty hours during the winter
months. The petition made it's appear
ance at the Midday club some days ago
and is said to have received the in
dorsement of nearly 1906 men who use
the fast service. 1t was impossible to
learn who is spoons or for the movement,
but rumor says it was the joint work of
the president of western railroad and
a corporation attorney. s-
While a number of men acknowledged
signing the petition a copy of it could
not be obtained nor could its contents
be learned further than that it was
merely a petition asking for the
frightening of the schedule two hours
during the winter months ,ie
1t was suggested to some of the sign
ers that the recent accidents attributed
to high speed had much to do with the
movement, but this was Indignantly
denied, but they all admitted that in
their opinion the safety of the passen-
gers would be enhanced by the length
ening of the schedule. The action of
the cold in causing the steel rails to
contract and make them more liable to
break on the curves was advanced as
a probable cause for the feeling of un-
rest among the signers, and again they
denied considering such contingency,
but in their general tone there was

hours.
President Mitchell of the Illinois
Trust and Savings bank was the only
one who was outspoken in regard to
the matter.

thought it was good thing" said Mr..
Mitchell 1T was not likely either the
Pennsylvania or the New York Central
would take the initiative, as it might be
construed as an act of weakness, so we

" any other car in the country. This
car will be over seventy feet in length.
