has prepared q list of fatalities occur
ing on race tracks, and he contends
that in almost every case the accidents
might have been avoided had proper
precautions been taken by those pro-
noting the races, or had the drivers
been careful in plotting their machines.
He says:
In view of much adverse criticism
concerning the dangers of track rae
ing it is interesting to recall the ia
talities that have occurred in connec-
ton with racing on the road as-well as
on the track. In this connection it will
be found that in every case of fatal
accident on the track the accident
could have been avoided had proper
precautions been taken to safeguard
the surroundings. or in few cases the
accident was of such a nature that in
fact that the race was conducted on a
track had nothing whatever to do with
the accident

But there Is class OF children who
have DO homes at all. The boot
blacks and newsboys occupy the
streets OF the city during the day and
at night are kicked into some by-alley
there to find whatever resting place
may offer itself. Imagine what in
ducements to evil are thrown before
these little yagabonds. Is it won
der that they become perpetrators Of
crime?
Ladies', those beautiful flowers that
adorn those hats which cost you So
much uneasiness just about Easter
time, those hats which when they
come floating into church almost make
your preacher angry, yes, those very
flowers are source Of much anxiety
to many little children. Months be-
fore hand they begin TO think OF the
time with dread when they shall have
to bend over that tedious task and ex-
ert every effort to supply your de-
mands. What beauty can they see Ia
flowers when the only ones they know
are not the blossoms hailed by all as
the most beautiful tokens Of Gods
fruitful summer but rather the SYM
bols Of evil smelling dyes, hot irons,
glue and rubber and the noisy din OF
the factory. Should our vanity be so
blind as to demand from these child
rem the sweet meaning Of the Resur-
rection of our Christ and cause them
to think OF it with disgust? Surely
one child from sharing In the boun-
teous gifts which He sends TO bedeck
Mother Earth. when he said: "Suffer
little children to come unto me
and forbid them not for such Is the
kingdom OF heaven"
There are many good people who
are doing great deal to mitigate the
hardships of these laborers: James
Pierpont Morgan. Andrew Carnegie
are giving their money freely to aid
in this work; Jane Adams. that whole
souled woman, Is making mighty
effort to raise these sufferers from the
terrible depths; indeed we are honored
by having with US tonight one who is
almost making it his life work to
brighten those clouded lives. But IL
can be readily seen, that even though
there are large number Of true help
ers, that they cannot administer TO
the needs of thousands aud also to all
posterity.
What we need for the entire aboli-
tion Of these terrible labor conditions
is the removal of their causes. And
in order that this national crime may
be uprooted, our government must
put forth its strong right arm TO en-
act the most stringent laws and then
enforce them. Sometime ago under
the guidance OF our most noble presi-
dent, armies of warriors volunteered
their service to free our country from
the bondage of black slavery; but now
God calls through the cry Of the child
rem on volunteers for a nober cause;
He calls on an army Of workers who,
for the sake Of those slaves to our
coun try's greed, have the souls to dare
aud TO do.

North Dakota. who are being paid e7,- 800 year each for their work in formulating . plan that win prevent such heavy raids upon Uncle Sams treasury. But the question is being asked in Washington. sHow are they going to do it7'
 The suggestion has been thrown out that probably a saving could be ac- complished in the rural free delivery service. and that possibly the ap- propriation for that service could be considerably reduced. Not. uniess the people. however. quit asking for the establishment of new routca The total appropriations for that service for the present fiscal year amounted to $37.360.00 From the way peti. lions are coming in at the department the officials are inclined to think at least couple of millions more will be needed for the coming year. and they wiR be lucky if all demands are met even with that increase.
 Not until 1897 was the initial ap- propriation made for this service. The insignificant amount of 340,e00 was voted by Congress. and the de- partment expended largely in experi- ments of course only $14.s40. Not until 1901 did the appropriation go above the million mark. the sum for that year being s1.T50.7s6. Tn 1909 the figures went above s4,000. .D00, and the appropriations were doubled in 1903. In 190t the appropriations ap- proximated $13.000,000. and bounded up to about $21.000. 900 in 1904. There was an increase of ss.000.00o in 1905. That was the year in which P. V. De Graw became Fourth Assistant Post master-General The rural free de- To rnn cF l~o~ <xL ~a postal service that is under his bureau. Mir. De Graw has taken a keen and active interest in advancing the facilities for placing the mails practically at the doors of the far mers. He has attended a great many of the conventions held by fourth class postmasters and the carriers on the rural routes. and In doing so has been able to familiarize himself with the growing needs In various sections of the country.
 Although there were. on the first day of November 41,116 routes in operation in the United States with 41,006 carriers. something like 1.so0 petitions for the establishment of new routes were on file at the department More of these petitions by far are from Texas and Oklahoma than from any of the other states, showing that the population down that way is in- creasing quite rapidly. Texas is now asking for 143 additional routes and okiahoma wants 115 more of them as soon as possible. Texas has already l,S3o rural routes. being more than any other southern state. Tennessee Is the second largest in the south, with l.62o routes. but that state has only twenty-two petitions pending for new ones.
 Following are the other southern states which have the largest number of petitions for new routes: Arkan- sas, 92:- Mississippi. s9. Alabama, s2. and Kentucky. A. Routes now in operation in those four states are: Kentucky. 71s; Alabama, ssS: Missis- sippi. 7s7 and Arkansas. sss.

 London, Nov 20.-Three of the most important appointments in the Em- pire outside the scores of these is- lands win shortly become vacant. and the rumors which are being freely CIT cuiated as to the manner in which 1t is proposed to fill them seem 10 demand that the subject should re- ceiye immediate consideration In the highest quarters. It will before long be the duty of the Government, II they remain in office, to submit to the King the names of the first Cover nor-General of the Union of South Africa. of the successor of Lord Grey in Canada, and of the successor Of Lord Minto in India. The present ad- yfsers of the King contemplate, 1t is reported, performing this duty py recommending that one or more or these great positions shall be filled from among their own ranks. It may of course, very we'll happen that De- fore the time comes when the choice has to be made. the responsibility TOT 1t may have devoived upon otner shoulders. But upon whomsoever It may then rest the principles which should determine 1t ought to be the same. Those principles ought to shut out altogether the kind of nominations which are said to be now under con sideration. z
 Unfortunately. 1t is the failures, or the nonentities. and not the successes. of the present Cabinet who are men tioned as the persons likely to be translated to the highest Imperial pos. itions. The position of the first Gov ernor-General of the Union of South Africa will be, of course unusually important and the others are hardly less so. Of course. if mediocrities are chosen for great positions In any or the dominions referred to their in- feriority win be detected at once and much bad feeling will be engender- ed.
 Burdens of Peernge.
 Probably the forty-three millions odd of commoners in this country think it must be rather fine thing to be peer. However. some peers and peeresses md their titles to be auctual encumbranees There is one peeress who has for many years gone under the name of Mrs. Brabazon. And another, a peeress in her own right, has only lately confessed to a correspondent that she would like to drop her ancient title altogether. It Is quite understandable that Mrs. B. may find 1t easier to economize than Lady B.. Much is expected of a titled individual and the expense B Faf ssfFa5ssn asssz lsf nkosSoa

RIVER COMMISSION FOR HIM
pY ALFRED ,. STOPPER.


 Washington, Nov. 1s-(Special)-- Several ex-members of Congress are being urged for appointment on the Mississippi River Commission. among them being former Senator Berry Of Arkansas.
 He served e number of years on the Senate Commerce Committee, which handles all matters pertaining to the waterways, and his friends argue duties. Then again Colonel Berry who ls advancing in years needs the money badly, and 1t would come in handy to once more draw a government salary
 Taken all in all General Francis Marion Cockreli, who was for thirty years Senator from Missouri, landed in about the best place of any of the statesmen who failed of reelection. As is well known. he is a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission. His salary is $10,000 year. the in crease from s7.5o0 having been made after the railroad rate bill was passed by Congress.
 Few men of his age can do as much real work as this hardy old Mis- sourian In spite of his having pass ed the 75th milestone of life on octo- Der last. he walks rapidly along the streets with the average man.
 The commissioners recently return ed from trip out to the Pacific slope states. General Csckrell was of course of the party, and the arduous labors in connection with the hear ings did not in the least tire him.
 While in the Senate and serving on the Military Affairs Committee it Is conceded that but for General Cock rell the Roosevelt administration could not possibly have passed the army re- organization bill. Therefore when the Republicans carried Missouri in 1904 and Cockreil lost his seat in the Senate. President Roosevelt did the handsome thing In providing him with a place on the commission.
 Ex-Senator Blackburn of Kentucky probably has drawn more per year, but there has been uncertainty as to how long his job would last. He was never certain of more than about two years as a member of the Panama Canal Commission and Governor of the canal gone.
