THE FATHERS WORK.
Suggestions of President Roosevelt to
the Mothers Assembly.

Syracuse, n. Y.-Mrs. E. H. Merrill
Of this city, president of the New York
State Mothers Assembly, is in receipt
of letter from President Roosevelt,
in which he defines the place Of the
father and mother in the home. The
letter was written in response to one
asking suggestions for the council of
mothers recently held at Newburg,
and the state convention to be held in
the fall.
The President says:
For one of your topics how would
it do to speak of the place of the
father in the home? Now and then
people forget that exactly as the
mother must help the breadwinner by
being a good housekeeper, so the father
in his turn, if he is worth his salt,
must in every way back up the mother
in helping bring up the children.
after all, the prime duties are ele-
mental and no amount of cultivation,
no amount of business force and sa-
gacity, will make the average man
good citizen unless he be good hus-
band and father, and unless he is a
successful breadwinner, is tender and
considerate with his wife and both low

and foolish is utterly ruinous) in deal
ing with the children.
Il think it a crime for the woman to
shirk her primary duties to shrink
from being a good wife and mother. OF
course, the woman should have the
same right as the man to train her
mind, to better herself; and occasion
ally a woman can and ought to follow
some special vocation in addition to
(never in substitution for) her home
work.
But just as the highest work for
the normal man is work for his wife
and children, SO the highest work for
the normal woman is the work of the
home, where, heaven knows, the work
is ample enough.
But also feel she can do the best
work in her home If she has healthy
outside interests and occupations in
addition, and l most firmly believe
that she cannot do her full duty by
her husband If she occupies merely
servile attitude and that she is quite
as bad mother if weak and foolish
as if hard and unloving."

Graphophones were used to help the
stenographers during recent govern
ment inquiry in Chicago when the in
vestigators had received orders to
forward to Washington transcript OF
the testimony at the earliest possible
moment. The stenographers took their
notes in the ordinary way, and read
them to a graphophone. AS fast as
cylinder was full, the machine was
turned over to a typewriter, who set
it to repeating what the stenographer
had spoken, and transcribed 1t on
paper. Within 80 minutes after the
last witness had ceased speaking the
record of the hearing was about COM
pleted, ready to be sent to the national
capital.

The Rudeness of Lawyers.

Joseph II. Choate tells law
yers that they should be courteous in
the cross-examination of witnesses.
He also expresses the judgment that
rudeness and discourtesy hurt the
lawyers who employ them. Lawyers
as class are not loved. Most men
at some time or other have had disa-
greeable experience with them, and,
while they may respect individual law
yers, the feeling toward lawyers in
the mass is not one of respect and af-
fection. The badgering of witnesses
under cross-examination which small
lawyers delight in and which judges
permit when they should not, is an old
evil which creates for the badgering
lawyers the cordial dislike, not only
of the badgered victims, but most of
the laymen who witness the perform
Ance. Witnesses in a court Of justice
are there to assist the court and jury
in arriving at the truth. They are not
there of their own choice, but come in
obedience to the summons of the
court. AS a rule, says the Phladel-
phia Press, the court does not protect
them sufficiently from harsh treat
ment, base insinuations and gross
abuse at the hands of the attorney
whose client is unfavorably affected
by their testimony.

Salton Sea Goinq Dry.

Imperial, Cal.-The last water COM

river was shut off Monday morning
after long and hard struggle by the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
The levees have been put in good con-
dition several miles below the break
and are being extended rapidly with
the aid of hundreds of men and teams.
The New and the Alamo rivers, carry
Ing water from the Colorado to the

STOCkMEN DISAGREE.
Cattlemen Favor and Sheepmen Op
pose Leasing System.

Washington. - The visiting stock
men Monday morning went over the
whole question before the Public
Lands Commission meeting being pre-
sided over by Land Commissioner
Richards.
The afternoon was devoted by the
Senate committee on agriculture to
hearing individual opinions of stock
men and the reading and discussion OF
the letter of President Roosevelt to
Senator Warren.
All of the cattle men attending these
meetings favored a system of leasing
and range control, while nearly all OF
the sheepmen opposed it and urged
that conditions be allowed to remain
as they are.
They contended that leasing laws
would prevent the country from being
settled up by homesteaders and that
the growth and development OF the
West would be retarded by tieing up
large areas. They contended also that
too much power would be placed in
the hands of the secretary of agricul-
ture If the remaining 100000 acres of
grazing lands of the West were placed
absolutely in his control, as they ar
gued the proposed amendment would
do. All admitted that under the ad-
ministration Of Secretary Wilson no
serious evils might come, but insisted
that if the department should fall into
the hands of a secretary like Hitch
cock, hostile to western interests, the
results would be disastrous.

Japan's Fair Exhibit,

When the war with Russia started,
in 1904, Japan looked to the United
States for sympathy, and received it.
Japan had nearly the most extensive
and interesting exhibit which was
made by any foreign nation at the St
Louis worlds fair of 1904, which was
very effective way of showing her
regard for the United States. Her
display at the fair was immeasurably
larger and finer than that of Russia.
By bringing the war with Russia to
an end in 1905, President Roosevelt
rendered service of inestimable
value to Japan, which the emperor,
his peace commissioners at Ports
mouth and the press of Toxic and the
other Japanese centers have freely ac-
knowledged. Japan has even more
interest in maintaining friendly rela-
lions with us than we have with her,
declares Charles M Harvey in Lesie's
Weekly The trade between the two
countries is growing and it is profit
able to each. Her recent war i'm
posed a debt burden which bears with
crushing weight on the Japanese peo-
pie. Japans natural resources are
small. She has an especial need for
many years of unbroken peace. Hap

peace is likely to be maintained.

A Comparison of Wealth.

TIE LONDON Express is unhappy be-
cause of its discovery that the annual
increase in the total wealth of the
United States is something like ten
times the increase in the wealth OF
Great Britain. From a British point
of view this may be lamentable, but
from no point of view can it be re-
garded as surprising. We have about
twice the population of that country,
and there is noticeable difference in
the matter of area. Our natural re-
sources in every departmement of
productive indsutry far exceed those
of Great Britain. Her land values.
while not absolutely fixed, may be
held to have reached the limit of nor
NAL expansion, while in our case a
variety of influences such as railway
development, trolley line extension,
irrigation, and an ever increasing de-
mand for the products of the soil,
bring idle land under profitable culti-
walton, and so give it value, and give
greater value to lands already oc-
cupied. The American workingman,
with his higher wages, declares the
New York Sun, can afford better
housing than the English working
man, and another important factor in
dwelling-house values appears in our
vast population of the well-to-do.
