WROUGHT UP BY CHARGES
Judge Says That Women Are United
for Real Work.

Chicago, Oct 30.-The clubwomen of
Chicago and the believers in equal suf-
frage are stirred up today over an
address delivered last night by Federal
Judge Grosscup in which he declared
that women have not the ability to
hold a place in the realm of real work.
''Women can feel and interpret
music, even on Jews harp, women
can be great fiction writers, but that
ends it, said the jurist.
Judge Grosscup said in part:
"Woman is not a scientist, for sci
enee consists in gathering masses of
details. She is failure even at doc
toring, except in the humanitarian
phases OF it, such as are embraced in
good nursing.
"She is not good as theologian, be-
cause theology. demands analysis and
woman can't sit off and analyze any
thing. She would be all the time pick
ing at the hem of omniscence and
wondering if it was made of silk or
near-silk
''Woman is not good in judicial work
because she is devoid of the reasoning
faculty"

legged tariff speeches we heard him
make they were neither democratic nor
republican; they were neither in favor
of protection nor for ) tariff for rev.
enue, the principles, respectively, of
the two parties. He did not dare
to advocate protection because he
would ALLEVIATE his democratic friends
nor could he favor tariff for revenue
only, for then he would lose repub-
lican votes, and he must get repub-
lican votes. So he must fuddle both
sides and he did it. If this is making
a good speech on the tariff then is
Hammond success at it. His educa
ton and practice as a lawyer enables
him to be success at deceiving the
people if he chooses to use his power
in that direction If the people want
a man of that kind they certainly
ought to have him; if they want to
have man that gets into office under
false pretenses they have a right to
have him, but the editors that say he
makes the best tariff speeches of any
litln III the SJdCo are elUHeT 1OOlS OF
knaves; for there are democrats in the
state that have made very much bet
ter tariff speeches than Hammond, but
they were democratic speeches. And
there are good sound principles on
which to build democratic tariff
speeches. When the democratic papers
say that Hammond makes the best
tariff speech of any man in the state
they are simply throwing dust into
the eyes of the voters. 1t is said
that all things are fair in politics
for the fellow that wants to slide into
office-and for the voter if he is anX
ious to be fooled. The voter that
doesn't want to be fooled will de-
mand positive statements from candi
date not the good lord, good devil
kind that Hammond gave out last
year to catch both the republican and
democratic votes. He tried to make
the same kind of a speech in con-
gress but couldn't quite do it. His
speeches are those of trimmer, not
of statesman.

COURTS ORDER is REVERSED
Supreme Tribunal Renders Decision ir
a Mankato Case

The supreme court, Judge Brown
writing the opinion, has decided the
case of Joel E. Southwick, respondent,
VS.. Henry Zimmerman, appellant.
Syllabus: First-An action in con-
version will lie against the mortgage
of a chattel mortgage, the terms of
which give the possession of the prop
erty to the mortgagor, who, before
default in payment and without right
under the insecurity provisions of the
mortgage, takes the property from the
mortgagor and sell the same in fore
closure proceedings: The foreclosure in
such case is wrongful and unlawful.
Second-The rule would be different
if the right of foreclosure in fact ex-
listed, but the proceedings were irregu-
lar or defective in form.
Third-Evidence set forth in tine
opinion held insufficient to establish
a tender of payment and that the
court erred in instructing the jury
that a tender might be found there
from.
Order reversed.

subject of regulation under the food
and drugs act.
The original trade agreement with
France was made on June l., 1898, I'M
der which substantial reductions were
made in the duties on French imports,
principally champagnes and liquors.
In return the government of France
gave reciprocal advantages to certain
products of the United States, princi-
pally argols, canned meats, lemons,
oranges, and certain fruits, fresh and
dried, and woods, sawed timber and
paving blocks. But the spirit of the
reciprocal agreement has not been OBJ
served in very many important re-
spects.
Secretary Wilson made statement
recently in the course of an official
conference on the subject of reciproci-
ty with France, that not pound OF
American meat had been admitted to
France since he had been Secretary of
Agriculture, notwithstanding the trade
agreement is supposed to give favored
rates to the American meat producers.
The French nave found an effective
method of exclusion in hard sanitary
imposed, by which the Am
erican products have been excluded.

NEW COURSE is PROPOSED
The Study of Babies in the Chicago
Public Schools.

Chicago, Oct. 3O.-"Babies" is the
name of new course of study which
may be added to the curriculum of
the Chicago public schools.
Mrs. E. c. Dudley, president of the
Day Nursery association of Chicago,
is the originator of the novel idea of
the public schools taking over day
nurseries and creches in congested
quarters In letter to Superintend-
ent Ella Flagg Young she says this
could be done by using cottages close
to schools. This would enable the
teaching of housekeeping and the care
of babies.
Mrs. Dudley believes day nurseries
should be connected with schools the
same as kindergartens. There are now
twenty-one private day nurseries in
Chicago, caring for an average of $50
babies each day, all under seven years
and mostly over two years of age.
These children she declares, have as
much right to come under the infu-
ence of the public schools and get
off the streets as have the youngsters
vino have reached the kindergarten
age.

H0TF|GHTNEARE Nd
NEW YORK'S MUNICIPAL CAM
PAIGN ABOUT TO CLOSE.
Contests Has Been One of Abuse;
Great Amount of Political dope"
Has Been Spread Over the City;
the Ballot Will Be Four Feet and
Five Inches Across and Fifteen
Inches Deep.

New York, Oct. 3O.-New York
deals in superlatives. Naturally, the
election now drawing to close has
been the ''most holly. contested" in
the history of the city. And the
statement isn't far from the truth. In
the course of human progress, men
continually discover new methods of
making fools of themselves, and all
such novelties have been utilized in
the present campaign.
AS matter of course, all the candi-
dates are certain of election when the
sovereign voters go to the polls next
Tuesday. All of the political dope,
however, warrants tentative guess
that the name of New York's next
mayor will begin with G, and not
with a B or H, as some exalted per-
sons fondly imagine. This is entirely
apart from the merits of the candi-
dates if, indeed, any of them have
any merits left after the campaign of
abuse which has been waged.
Ballot Is Long One.
The ballot on which New York vot-
ers will express their wishes next
Tuesday will break all records as to
size. 1t will be four feet five inches
across and fifteen inches deep. 1t will
have twenty one columns of candidates
for the voter to choose FROM This is
three times as long as last years
ballot.
As most election booths are only
three and one-half feet wide the voter
might have trouble to avoid tearing
the ballot. A torn ballot is subject
to objection and in danger of being
thrown out. New election boxes will
have to be made and tally sheets will
have to be enlarged. 1t is estimated
that the ballots cast in each election
district will weigh 100 pounds.
Celebrations in New York.
Several sections of New York's as
sorted population will hold celebra-
tions next week The Japanese are
making preparations for great blow
out in honor of the birthday of their
emperor, which falls on Wednesday,
The Mikado will be fifty-seven years
old. On the same day the loyal Rus
slams will observe the anniversary of
the cars accession to the throne.
On next Saturday the Frenchmen will
get into the game by observing Presi-
dent Fallieres' birthday. The follow
ing week, on Nov. 9, will be the birth
day of King Edward, but the OBJ
servance will be of an inconspicuous
nature.

FIGHT AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS
1t Is Being Won, According to Stats
tician c. L. Wilbur.


Washington, Nov. 1.-The great fight
against tuberculosis is being won, ac-
cording to Chief Statistician Cressy L.
Wilbur of the division of vital sta
tistics, census bureau. In a recent
bulletin based upon the annual re-
turns of deaths from the death regis
tration area of the United States, he
says:
SIT is probable that the great at
tention that has been given to this
disease already has begun to nave
its effect upon the mortality, and a
continued decline in the death rate
from year to year may be expected.
"a disease of increasing import
ance,' adds Mr.. Wilbur, according to
the returns, is .pellagra. for which
twenty three deaths were returned in
1908, but as most of the deaths from
this occur in the south, from which
no records are received, this figure
does not represent the mortality from
this cause"
The total number of deaths from
all forms or tuberculosis returned in
1908 was 1899, exceeding those of
any previous year of registration, but
the death rate per 100000 for 1908
was considerably less than that for
1907. In all registration states the
death rate from tuberculosis showed
decline, except in Colorado, Rhode
Island and Vermont.
The number of deaths from all
forms of pneumonia returned for 1908
was 6l,259, a decrease of over G,OOO
from the number of 1907, 1890, de-
spite the increase in the registration
area. The death rate from pneumonia
was lower for zoos than for any other
of the past five years.
Each of the following causes of
death was responsible for at least
5000 deaths of male breadwinners dur
ing the year: Typhoid fever, tubercu-
losis of lungs, cancer, apoplexy and
paralysis, heart disease, pneumonia,
Bright's disease, suicide, accident. The
total number of deaths of occupied
persons from these causes was: For
males l3S,259, for females 7,434.

SAYS JOE IS A WOLF.
CANNON ROUNDLY DENOUNCED BY
ROBERT LA TOILETTE.
Editorial Called Forth By Speakers Re-
cent Speech at Elgin in Which He
Attempted to Read Out of the
Republican Party the Insurgents;
Red Hot Roast; Prcgressives May
Well Bide Their Time.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 30.-Likening Jos.
G. Cannon to Il grim old wolf whose
fangs are long, United States Senator
La Toilette publishes another attack
on the speaker in this weeks issue OF
La Follette's Magazine. The editorial
was called forth by Cannon's recent
speech at Elgin, ILL.,, in which he at
tempted to read out of the republican
party NIessrs Cummins, La Toilette
and the other tariff insurgents" The
editorial says in part:
Speaker Cannon, at Elgin, Oct. Is,
served notice that he means to purge
the threshing floor of the republican
party of such chaff as Cummins, La
Follettee and their followers BY the
terms, Cannon describes the progress
neither Cummins nor La Toilette, but
of their own unbought and unsubdued
minds.
He Hopes Cannon Is Right.
"'These people Speaker Cannon is
reported to have said, 'call themselves
republicans, but if they are, then I
am something else
"We hope Cannon is right. If by
these remarks he means there is an ir-
resistible conflict which in the party
between Cannonism on the one hand
and the principles of the progressive
republicans on the other he is quite
right. There is such conflict.
eff Cannon is a republican these pro-
gressives, these undrilled citizens, are
not. If Cannon is republican, Lin
coin and Sumner and Geo. M. Curtis
and Carl Schurz and the men who fol-
lowed Sheridan and Grant and the
commanders they followed and the
founders of the republican party were
not republicans.
Cannon May Speak the Truth.
Cannon may speak the truth when
he denies that he has made a corrupt
deal with Tammany whereby he will
aid the Tiger in New York while it
continues to aid him in congress in his
contest with progressives or insur-
gents" They may have come to his
aid in that grim crisis of the last con-
gress not because of anything he
promised them, but because OF the deep
sympathy that exists between such
men, For if Cannon is a republican,
Tammany is republican; and so is Cox.
of Cincinnati, Bath House Johnny
and 'Hinky Dink,' of Chicago and the
powers that prey everywhere.
Progressives Bide Their Time.
"The progressives may we'll bide
their time and laugh at the fulmina-
tions of the ear of the house. Their
time is coming. Cannonism is merely
q survival The stars in their courses
fight against it and it is doomed.
GA free, untrammeled ballot in the
republican party would strip Cannon of
every vestige of power tomorrow. His
pronunciamentoes are but the snarling
of the grim old wolf who hears the
bears in the woods, and scents them,
closing in. He is still at large and his
fangs are long; but the days of his
depreciation within the sneep fold of
the people are surely numbered"

retardation is above the fifth grade"
He declared that health must be of
first consideration in educational pro-
cesses and stated the fourfold aim
of the schools as health head, hand
and heart.
"We have too long lamented the
break that comes between the eighth
grade and the high school, and we
have tried all sorts of tricks and
schemes to bridge this chasm, but we
are now led to see that the great
break comes earlier, comes further
back. It is with the fourth, fifth and
sixth grades break that comes at
the most critical time in the life of
our boys and girls, time when the
physical, mental and moral develop
ment need most guidance and direction.
The Weakest Place.
"Here is the weakest place in our
educational scheme. And here I make
one of my strongest recommendations
today. We must establish sort OF
industrial grammar school, a kind of
vocational grade school, admitting boys
from an entire city or town.
'Such school has had an suspicious
beginning in st. Paul. Tt is not q So
called trade school. 1t admits only over
aged boys from the fifth, sixth and
seventh grades. 1t gives training in
the shops every day, instead of once a
week; mechanical drawing rather than
color; arithmetic not taught from book
but by daily practice in commercial
processes, coupled with simple accounts
business forms and elementary book
keeping, daily practice in style Of
handwriting and spelling that meets
the requirements of business every day
language and correspondence rather
than formal grammar; two half days
every week devoted to first hand out
of door study of the leading occupations
and industries of the community, lead
ing up to the elements of commercial
geography and some objective lessons
in civil government"
WASTES in the Recitation" was the
subject of the address by L. c. Lord
president of the Eastern Illinois Nor
NAL school, in which he exploited APP
proved modern methods. He drew a
line between the sort of recitation work
that accentuates the brilliancy of the
forward pupils and likewise embar-
asses the laggards and the sort which
brings general development through
out the class.
Sleeves Not Trousers.
He declares the recitation to be the
heart, soul and mind of the school and
that it was up to the boys to roll up
their sleeves instead of their trousers
and get to work He also urged the
necessity of the teacher working to the
limit of his ability when conducting a
recitation.
He denied that it was the duty of
the teacher to accept the whole respon,
sibility for the pupil, although agree
ing that morality should be taught
''The teachers duty is to pound intel
ligence into the head of the boy" he
said "We suffer more from fools than
we do from men, because the fools so
far outnumber the men. Too much
time is wasted with bad boys in the
classroom. 1t is better to lose one bad
hoy than to have a whole class only
half instructed" ~
