ALL FRANCE AROUSED
BY CHILDREN SUICIDE
Recent Cases of Self-Destruction in Paris Subject Of
Parliamentary Investigation, Methods of Schools
Being Charged as Cause.

PARIS. July Not for many years
have the people Of France, and partic-
ularly those Of Paris, been aroused over
problems relating to children as they
are today over the alarming extent
to which children between the ages Of
fourteen and sixteen years have been
committing suicide
Within the past month. nine children,
apparently without cause, have delib-
erateiy put an end TO their lives. While
the police and other public officials
were attempting to unearth a reason,
Maurice Barres. playwright, author, and
deputy, representing the department of
the Seine, in which Paris IS located,
made an impassioned speech before the
chamber, in which he blames the whole
suicidal tendency upon the teachers in
the public schools.
So great was the impression made by
Barres' speech that an investigation has
been begun, and the result has thrown
French mothers and fathers into par
Oxysm of fear. Those who Incline to
Barres' belief in the matter-and his
explanation Is now the generally &C
ceDted One-feel that the investigation
into the curriculum of the public
schools should be thorough and i'm
partial and prosecuted until it viii be
possible for those in authority to sug-
gest proper and remedial changes in
methods.

Speaking About Dirt.

Senator Foraker, in a speech de-
livered in the senate, charged that
the sum of $4,000 had been wrong
fully diverted from the three mil
lion dollar emergency war fund OF
1899 and used for employment oil
private detectives in the Browns
vile investigation. He placed the
responsibility of this alleged mis-
appropriation upon the head of the
outgoing republican administration
and upon the head of the incoming
republican administration. Sena-
tor Foraker is a republican. 1t
would seem, therefore, that these
republican leaders-outgoing and
incoming-would do we'll to de-
vote some of their energies toward
sweeping the dirt from their own
doorsteps.-Commoner.

The Kansas Day Club held its
annual feast at Topeka last Friday
night and another crowd of young
political fame hunters worked of
the regulation rot about party fe-
atty, loyalty" etc. The speeches
made by these G. o. p. upstairs on
these annual occasions contain the
most senSeless utterances ever i'm
posed on the public and if the peo-
pie of the state were foolish enough
to take them seriously the state
government would surely be in a
sorry condition. The man who
advises the voter to be a party
slave is either playing to the gal
leries in the hope of sliding into
an Office or else he is temporarily
insane politically.

Senator Long addressed a meet

Kansas Day. He made some very
pointed remarks concerning the at.
titude of his own party in Kansas
on questions now uppermost in the
public mind and took occasion to
point out in an indirect way that
the dominant faction in the repub-
lican party in this state is not in
harmony with the party national
ly but has taken up with populist-
ic fads. And this is true. Repub-
licanism as championed by Stubs

publicanism as taught by Taft and
Long. During his campaign fol-
reelection Senator Long stood
squarely on the republican nation.

talked populism and won. What
Bristow will do as senator remains
to be seen. IF he remains true 10
his pledges he will be ostracised by
his party at Washington as com.
pletely as LaFollette, for the re-
publican party is unalterably op.
posed to election of senators by di.

senator is right, then Senator

La FolIette's Magazine.

Elk Governor LaFollette of Wis
consin has started new weekly
magazine, and his Introductory is
mighty fine, but will he practice
what he breaches? is what reform
ers will ask, for thousands of them
all over the country were surprised
that Mr.. LaFollette supported Mr..
Taft for president on such a mo-
nopolistic platform. Here is his
starting piece or foreword in his
magazine:
''In the course of every attempt
to establish or develop free govern
ment a struggle between special
privilege and equal rights is in
evitable. An acute phase of this
struggle has come upon us sudden
ly. Engrossed in material develop
ment we have neglected that of
our institutions. A continent of
vast richness absorbed US. Our
growth was half blind. Open-ey-
ed at last, we were startled to find
our great industrial organizations
in control of politics, government
and natural resources. They man
age conventions, make platforms,
dictate legislation. They rule
through the very men elected to rep
resent the people.
Ten years of investigation and
exposure have disclosed corruption
in municipal, state and national
government without parallel in
modern history.
We have made great progress.
The people now understand. For
a representative who betrays, they
feel only contempt. But they know
that back of the bad representatives
in municipal, state and national
government stands special privilege,
the real enemy of their institutions,
fortified with the greatest wealth
and power ever massed for the con-
troll of government.
The battle is just on. 1t is
young yet. 1t will be the longest
and hardest ever fought for dem
ocracy. In other lands, the people
have lost. Here we shall win.
1t is a glorious privilege to live in
this time, ano have a free hand in
this fight for government by the
people.
This magazine recognizes as its
chief task that of aiding in win
ming back for the people the COM
plete power of government, which
has been lost to them by the en-
croachments of party machines,
corporate and unincorporated mo-
nopolies, and by the rapid grow tn
of immense populations.
LaFollette's will speak the truth
No eminence of position in party
or government shall protect a ser.
want of the people from deserved
criticism, and its approval will be
gladly given to all who commend
themselves to it by brave and
right action in any party or place.

killed by the senate committee in
Topeka last Thursday. One pro-
hibited campaign contributions by
corporations and another provided
