1t is said that man would be lit
tie better than a savage but for wo-
man. With equal truth we may as
sert that men and women would be
hard and selfish beings but for chill
dren. These call out, and refine and
soften, the best feelings of the paren-
tai heart. Their little deeds are so
many, and their simple innocence so
affecting, and their caresses 80 win
ming, that love and attention flow out
to them almost instinctively. That
must be hardened nature which can
not be moved by the soft touch, the
playful childishness and the hundred
little pranks of a baby.

Murphy ef Missouri Declares New State Has Failed te Comply With Com stltusfon in Jim Grow
 f.myw.

Washington Feb. 7.--Representatiye Murphy of Missouri introduced bill today to repeal the act admitting Ok lahoma to Statehood on the ground that the Constitutional Convention of Oklahoma and Indian Territory has failed to comply with the conditions of the joint Statehood act. The bill of Mir. Murphy follows.
 "whereas. the Constitutional Con- ventiou of the proposed State of Okla homa. now in session at Guthrie. Okla. failed and refused after organisation to declare. on behalf of the people of said proposed State to adopt the Con : stitution of the United States as re- quired by the act of Congress. and.
 Whereas. Said Constitutional Con- ventlon Is attempting to evade the act of Congress by making a distinction in civil and political rights on account of race and color; and,
 ssyyhpreas Said convention has sauandered the peoples money appro- priated by Congress in unnecessary po- iftical bickerings. thereby leaving no fund to hold an election for the Fatifi- cation or rejection of the proposed constitution; end,
 ssWhereas, The said convention had wholly disregarded and ignored the disbursing officer of the Government as provided by Congress; and.
 whereas, The said convention has demonstrated its unfitness and incapac = ity to frame constitution for said pros posed State: therefore

FRNpCH TAX CHANGE.
Geyernment's New scheIne sfeets With
 Approval ef Socialists.

Apprayaz of Socialists.
 Paris. Feb. 7.--The governments new scheme for taxation, introduced m the Chamber of Deputies today created q great stir when it was made public this afternoon after the closing of the house. If enacted in a law 1t Will con stitutc a complee readjustment or Frances finance system. The old door, window. poll and other direct taxes are to be replaced by system based upon incomes.
 en1pted The tax up incomes above si. 100000 a year is made progressive ub to four per cent or the total. Even government rents exceeding those held abroad. only nominaily escape, the coupons themselves being exempt but the revenue therefrom being taxed when the total income of the hcioer exceeds the minimum laid down.
 French savings are largely invested In rentes. The burdens placed upon foreign securities, bosh private and governmental, constitute particularly heavy blow to Russian securities of which it is estimated than from eight to ten millions are held in France. The new income tax measure IS one of the radical reforms to which the Clemmenceau ministry committed itself upon assuming office.
  of NJ. Jaures, the Socialist leader, be- fore introducing in the Chamber. and while it is received with unbounded joy by the Socialist group as proper shifting of the burdens of taxation to the shoulders of the idle rich. 1t Is sure to encounter intense opposition from the more moderate Republicans as well as from the Conservative par ties. How far the nation at large will receive the measure remains to be seen and while it is resented by tho rich 1t seems likely to prove popular with the masses. Only half million fami- lies arc affected by the higher proSres- sive income feature, which Finance Minister Caillaux estimates will pro- duce $24,000,000 a year. The other 9. 560, 900 taxable families In France are those composed of petite rentiers," (smaIl fund holders) who live upon modest savings that produce less than si ,000 a year each and which are liable to the lower rate of taxation. -f

public scfvarts cnuld strike against the Gtatc
 All the strinsrs were discharged anu their duties were performed by sol- diers untfl the service could be reor- ganized. Now tho Government has had to meet far more serious attempt The school masters of several districts. notably Paris and the big industrsal centers. have formed associations tsyn- dicatesl upon the instipation of Radical Socialists. and. moreover. have joined the general labor federation (Confcd- eration Gene-aIe du TravaiD. There was practically no attempt to conceal tho fact that the purpose of the organization of teachers was the prop agntfon Of the doctrines Of anti-mili- tarism as expounded by Nerve and his followers. ternationaiism as prenciled by Jaures. and the general Idea of the solidarity of the interests of the work. [ ing as against those of the capitniistlc iclgsses.
 After considering the subject. tI,t Government. which fully realizes thai | the object of the promoters of the or | ganizatious was to concentrate publi, education in the hands of the advocate. of .fntcruaticnaiisn. promptly for bade "tachers' syndicates." but as th, | French trade union laws are yer, | broad, some 80NttlDNdt ltBtriattoH VI the subject will probably be neees | Sary-.
 Mir Briand. in announcing the deeis l ion to deputation. said:
 "Because of the very nature of you service. the State can never pernai you to act as other employees do. Yo' are not working for an ordinary eni l pioyer. but for the State. and revol against the state is revort against. tn
 country, whose representatives vot
 your salary"
 But besides the question of right d I public servants to organize in thci own interests, the Government recog \ uizes that the question of educatini the youth cf tho land touches one o the most sacred duties of the State, Il It was upon the very theory tha education should he free from ever | possible bias that the Catholics teach ing orders were driven out of Frame and. consequently. 1t would be intol erable to admit that the task of edu eating the youth of the country shcui be consigned to the allies and advo cates of particular political doctrine
 Nevertheless. this bold attempt t
 control the education of the Frene masses Is noteworthy evidence of tn militant character Of the internations Socialist movement in France.
