Do You Open Your Mouth

Lake young bird and gulp down what
ever food or medicine may be offered you?
Or, do you want to know something OF the

employ whether as food or as medicine.

right to insist upon such knowledge. So he

As the writer quoted above well
says:
'tEvery living organism bears with
in itself IFS own automatic destruction,
civilization planting the seeds of vice
and crime which destroy it. The civil
lized man has learned to avoid or
minimize these elements of danger
The infant nation learns first the
vices, ana if it has not the strength
to resist, it must succunb. Chief
among these causes is unchastity. Fa-
miles lawful and carefully nurtured

family ties. no race brought into con
tact with civilization can endure.

CHILDREN'S SLAYER CONFESSEs
Says He Shot Little Ones Whom They
Threatened to Tell Parents,

Utica, N. Y, Sept. 2S.-The mystery
which for many days has surrounded
the kidnapping of three little Italian
children and the murder Of two of
them in the Eagle street culvert has
been solved, the police say, by full
confession from Theodore Rizzo, who
has been held as suspect
A volume Of circunstantial evidence
which the police had been gathering
for days pointed to Rizzo as the mur-
derer, but for more than a week he
denied all connection with the crime.
For thirty-six hours the police had
been endeavoring to secure an admis-
sion from him, and finally he told the
story in all its narrowing details.
Rizzo says that his original purpose
was to attack the two little girls, but
when they threatened to tell their fa-
theirs he shot them and the little boy
as we'll, leaving all three for dead.
Following the confession Chief of
Police Brophy made a formal charge
of murder in the first degree against
Rizzo. When arraigned before City
Judge OConnor Rizzo collapsed. En-
animation was then waived, and he
was remanded to jail

one Of the first questions asked the
Archbishop. He looked a bit puzzled.
Then he smiled and said: You'll
have to enlighten me little. Just
what does mo babies, no ballots
mean?"
Thereupon the interviewer handed
the Archbishop clipping containing
the suggestion formulated by Father
Phelan of St. Louis two days ago, in
which he urged that votes be given to
family in proportion to the number
Of children. The family would have
votes for the father and mother and
each child under the Phelan plan. A
husband and wife with ten children,
for instance. would have twelve votes,
while a husband and wife with one
child would have three votes. But a
man and wife with no children would
have nary a vote between them. They
would be disfranchised.
Nov, that is really very good
idea" he said, handing back the clip
ping. 1T has the elements of an ex-
cellent plan" The Archbishop re-
fiected a moment, Indeed, why not?"
he inquired. women in some States
are given vote on property qualifi-
cation. Surely children are far more
valuable than property. 1t would thus
be reasonable to give votes to mar
ried persons on the basis of the num-
Der of their children"
