voIltlon and the Law Of FERTILITY.

Volition and the Law Of Fertility.
The breeder who to improve his
stock must keep them in great com.
fort on abundance of food, finds his
greatest difficulty IN their tendency
to sterility. Seeing that this law of
fertility governs not only the animal
but also the vegetable kingdom, may
we not safely conclude that human
volition has little to do with the birth
rate, and also hold that the birth cate
of a nation is inverseiy proportional
to the well being of its people,

BEHAVE LIKE DEVILS
CONDUCT. OF TURKISH
 sOLDIEIts.
They Sacked City, Laid Violent Henas On The Women, Killed
 Men, And PlIIaEed The

constantInopie, Sept. 1t-How ter- ri5ie the Turkish soldier can be in his wrath is shown in a feaFsome story from Hodaidah, an Arabian port where 4.ooo soldiers discharged from duty in the Yemen region (which is occupied by Turkish tfoops) arrived and found no ships to take them home.
 When one steamer put Into Hodaidah was invaded by 2.000 soldiers. with a number of their women friends, fierce quHFrels broke out among the mob on board, and 110 men and women were killed or wounded. The soldiers threw two women alive into the sea to be dsvoured by the sharks surrounding the ship. sh S,g--5-,s- r-.s
 The other half of the troops, who arrived later. and were disappointed at finding no vessel in port took ter rible revenge on the town. They pile laged and destroyed the stores, cut the water pipes,.- and generally behaved like devils.
 The genraI commanding sthe troops was seized and dragged about the town. Several officers wives were carried into the mosques, and maltreat- ed. This sacrllege brought upon the soldiers the fury of the Arabs. and battle took place in which eight Turks and three Arabs were killed.
 British and Italian warships have been urgently asked for to protect the Europeans at Hodatdah.

Drives Cholera Awny.

St. Petersburg. Sept. 1.-The chol- era epidemic in Astrakhan has pro- duced the usual crop of visionaries and charlatans.
 The most noted is a Christianfzed Bashkir named George Akhmetoff who claims to see the cholera spirit and can NelI in advance the victims whom 1t has chosen.
 Akhmetoff's medicine Is music. By playing on a stringed instrument, he drives the hend away. and earns the gratitude and kopecks of the peasan- try.
 Encouraged by his success, Akhmet- off declared that the local police caps tain's wife was threatened with chol- ara. and offered for SEQ to save her life with harmony. The policeman de- rided the warning. few days later his wife was stricken and died.
 This success has so raised Akhmet- offs fame that the peasants send their own boats up and down the Volga to fetch him.

ENGLAND'S
 POOR NAVY Twenty-six Vessels Need

nY RonERT RRopERIck

London. Sept. I4.---In case of the sud- den outbreak of a war with one of the great powers, it seems that England would be almost as badly off as was Russia when the Japanese attacked Port Arthur. That the English army Is of little or of no value as compared with that of the great military powers everyone knows, and now the Civil Lord of the Admiralty has been forced to publicly admit in the House of Com mons, that of the instantly ready" home fleet, upon which Great Britain relies to ward off the first blow. twen- ty-six vessels are so badly in need of repairs. that they will be useless unless they are sent into dry dock during tho next three months, and twenty-one oth- CT vessels are at the present time unt dergOing repairs.
 eff the instantly ready fleet Is in such a condition" says a London paper, "one wonders if the remainder of our navy which is not supposed to be in- stantly ready, Is better or worse than the famous Baltic squadron of the Czar."

JUDGE PARKER DENoUNcEs
Use of Corporation Money in Political
 Campaigns.

~N7T~~~N
 Campaigns.
 New York Special ...
 Following the publication several days ago of a list of the names of the contributors and the sums they con- tributed to the campaign fund raised by D. H. Hartman at the narsonal so- licitation of President Roosevelt dur ing the closing days of the Presiden- Parker has strong statement in The World pointing out the evil of corpor- ations contributing to national polit- ical campaign expenses.
 Judge Parker was the Democratic nominee for the Presidency in that campaign and shortly after the fund was raised and turned over by MT. Hartman to the Republican managers tions were making large contributions to further the interests of the Repub- Iican Party and It's candidates and were making those contributions solely for the favoritism and benefits they expected to receive from the party. The charges were strongly denied by the Republican managers and by the Re- publican nominee particularly in most brutal language.
 Judge Parker's statement follows:
 Congress should have performed the service to the country that The World and other papers are now attempting to render 1t.
 Senator Tillman introduced a resolu-
 
 the charge that l deemed it my duty to make In the campaign of 1904 That resolution should have been passed and an opportunity afforded to prove the various protected industries of the country the insurXance and other gi- gantic corporations. including the great railroad corporations.
 This should have been done, not for the purpose of proving whether my charge was well or illfounded for surely an investigation was not needed for, that purpose after the insurance investigation, which disclosed con. tribution by three companies out of mary aggregatiug nearly Sl5e,D00 to swell the Republican campaign
 Since that happened no man who reads and is both fair-minded and in- my statements. But further and broader investigation should have been made, covering all the great corpora tions havnig interests that. the Fed eral Government could protect or ad- vance either by the maintenance of existing protective statutes, such as the so-called Dingley bill, or by the non enforcement of law, and this to mine whether Federal politics and cor pofate interests shall be divorced or the wicked partnership of the past shall be continued and strengthened by further assumption of Federal com trol.
 Such an investigation would have disclosed that contributions were made by corporations whose officers knew that within a year--perhaps within thirty days, after election they would have to go 10 the Postmaster Gen eral for a renewal of thefr mail-ear- rying contracts, and, being practical men" they realized that the attitude of that official might be affected by Aba cfrcumstancRM- of A iarwR confrfbu- tion on the one hand, or by a refusal to contribute at his request on the other hand.
 They had reason to believe the re. quest for a contribution by the chosen

Fe,x NriIIionniren.

How far England is behind America in the production of millionaires, is shown by an official 'blue book" pub lished by the Inland Revenue Commis- sion. which contains a report on the working of the income tax.
 Statistics given in this report show that there are only twenty-one persons in the United Kingdom who have in- comes exceeding s250. 0.000-that is ap- proximately the produce of a capital of 1,bO0, 900 pounds sterling, This score of rich men includes the Americans who have settled in Great Britain, like APdrew Car negie. William Waldorf Astor, Hem ry Phipps, walter Winans and John P. Grace.
 The number of wealthy men paying the tax on incomes between $5O,000 and $250, ,00D is 237--a figure which can be taken as representing the number of Englishmen whose capital wealth in dollars would put them within the ranks of milltonairess If they were cit- izens of the United States.
 Naturally the bulk of English tn- come tax payers is made up of hard working men earning upwards of $500 a year. which is the lowest earned in- come that can be taxed, or rather the point at which taxation ceases to be imposed This class of small salaried men numbers about 2S0,000, while the total of income tax payers is 279,456, with a total gross income of more than S535, 100000.

implied an agreement to treat them as they had been treated before
 For years the tarin-fed corporations mad been solicited for contributions 10 Republican campaign funds, and they responded generously and likewise for years the Republican administrations had protected them by tariff duties that enabled them to exact from our people
 larger price for their products than they were demanding from foreigners.
 Both the solicitors ana the contrib utors of these campaign funds regard ed the beneficiary as under obligation to preserve their power 10 mulet the people, and the beneficiary has kept the faith. That fact is known to all men. With this example before thsFta the corporations began to respond ts slIniiar solicitations, and upon a iiks either be helped or let alone as their several necessities should require.
 Nows what was done with this moneyY Much of 1t was employed to corrupt the voters of doubtful States until in many of them manhood saIf- frage has in considerable measure be- come ehattel suffrage. It is evident that tha sa ~ was was TOT that purpose only that V0o was raised. It was secured on the 26th and S0th days of October and turned over to the National Cemfnlttee dollars was then given to the stafe committee, and for what purpose?
 Obviously in the closin@ hoiirs of fha campaign but one practical use could ne made of 1t, and that waA to swell the fund already accumulated to se- cure beyond peradventure the large hoating vote builded up by years Of enort to corrupt the electorate by means or money contributed by those who were willing to buy favors from those willing to sell them.
 This, then is the source of the flood oe corporation evils that have come upon us, ana Tor 1t our unfaithfuI pubifo stewards are most to blame. Had they peen true to their respective trusts the injuries from which we spffer couid not have come to us. -'1
 In no instance that we have yet heard or did the corporation press It's monav on the politician or the party organi. zation. In all instances it was reqnest- circumstapces as to constftufe fha re- quest demand. The foramost duty oe the hour then Is to shut off forever this eorrupting flood.
 It can not be accomplished bv tlnas. which If. imposed would be paIa e0t of the corporations treasury If csn be done if the punishnent for tviolaffeTf or the law be imprisonment Of corDnfS atfon ofhctais. Such statute Com gress has not yet passed. nor will lt unless the people demand 1t.

This is Edict as to Election to Dulna.
 St. Petersburg. Sept, 1.-The local administration continues to bring pres sure against all opposition candidates for the Duma. 2 As regards the present electors. this pressure is exercised through the rural chiefs whose function is to contro4 village politics. The rural chiefs in Nijni-Novgorod province has begun to nominate their own candidates from among the peasants, and threaten that If other men are elected they will te expelled from Europeans Russia a~ "undesirables.'
 Other rural chiefs have begun to hold4ameetings. although the election law forbids them to take any part in Duma politics, The speech of one rural chief gives a good idea of the methods of the governments campaign:
 "The Czar has decided to give land to all cantons which, choose loyal men. Cantons that elect socialists will be deprived of their votes when the fourth Duma is convoked."
