ANOTHER SELFISH VIEW

Says Mrs. Helen Baker, variously described as ''the richest woman in Spokane" i" "suffrag- ist reformer," philanthropist, !" Human itaran," and "apostle of brotherly love-" and so forth and so on:
 "There are already too many children
 in the world What we want now is quail
 ity, and not quantity. Parents should be
 taught the responsibility of bringing chil-
 dren into the world, and then, when they
 have been taught that nine tenths of the
 babies born every year are nothing more
 or less than human culs, l believe the
 birth rate will decrease, and we shall have
 better and stronger race"
 This is not so very different from the foolish attempt of young Mr. Rockefeller to justify Standard Oil business methods by comparing the evolution of that gigantic concern to that of an American Beauty rose It is a~selfishv philos- ophy, and 1t carries the doctrine of the survival of the fttest to absurd lengths never intended by its propounder or more humane aaharents.
 Mrs. Bakers point of view is doubtless that of a woman good enough at heart, but warped by the possession of excessive wealth and, there fore unable to get her righteous bearings That such people come to look upon nine -tenths of the children born into the world as nothing more than "human culls" is, in some cases, we have little doubt, more their misfortune than their fault. They realize, in vague sort of way. that for the maintenance of their Equality, '' the outside nine -tenths must be largely hewers

The report of the sale of the Tucson Citizen to prominent Arizona republicans lacks con frmation from the paper itself; but despite this fact there are many who believe that the deal has been practically closed and that the Citizen will be fighting the battles of the g. o. D. when the bugle blows for the first battle under state hood. There is another rumor to the effect that the big 'uns of the party will secure control of the Phoenix Republican, now republican in pol itics, but antagonistic to prominent republicans whose aspirations are abnormally lofty It is fair to presume that during the next six months there will be quite number of newspaper changes in Arizona, as nearly all of the strong papers in the territory are at present warm ad- vocates of democracy

In The Halls of Congress
BY TAV. - Special Washington Correspondence.
BY TAV.


 In opposing the selection of Henry T. Rainey of Illinois and Ollie M. James of Kentucky as members of the Ballinger- -Pinchot investigating committee, the conservation 'standpatters, paid these two democrats the highest compll- ment that could be paid to men in public life.
 This is the general feeling among the demo- crats and real republican progressives of con gress. This view is also shared, it may be added by nine-tenths of the newspaper cores pondents towering" the proposed land office investigation, who have been absolutely amazed at the desperate attempt of the Taft-Aldrich- Cannon men to pack the Investigating committee with men friendly to Ballinger and hostile to Pinchot
 Leading democrats declared that Rainey and James were opposed because they have stead fastly refused to cooperate with or sell them selves out to the clique which represents the land thieves, trusts and combinations. Only those who have either opposed Pinchot in a speech on the floor of the house, or are known to secretly favor Ballinger, it is claimed, are satisfactory to the reactionaries who are in charge of the proposed investigation.
 No members of congress are more respected by democrats and republicans free from corpor- ation aint than Rainey and James. Their speeches and votes bear the closest scrutiny. They have always been regular as democrats, and are among the most eminent of the party leaders. Both able lawyers, they have used their ability as members of congress for the interests of the people instead of the interests of the trusts, and for this audacity they must be pun ished
 "What could Rainey and James as members of the Investigating committee do other than bring out facts?" asked prominent democrat after learning of the action of the republicans in opposing the presence of the two democrats on the investigating committee. "We were led to suppose that was the purpose of the investi- gatiOn: To get at the facts. But it must be there are some facts the republicans do not want aired But as friends of both Rainey and James, said as soon as l heard of the opposition to them by the president that for their personal good hoped they would be deposed. I took the position they would be laboring under a dis advantage on the committee after all the fuss had been raised over their selection, and that their questions to witnesses would be misin- terpreted and misrepresented by the partisan republican press. hoped from the first that in- asmuch as the controversy had been raised that the conservation standpatters would depose them, as that would be the greatest compliment to their honesty that could possibly be paid them.''
 Congressman Rainey when asked for an ex- pression on the subject, said: 'I am charged with being partisan I admit that am not republican; l was elected as democrat and always try to be one. If I should serve on the investigating committee 1 should certainly en- deavOr to do my duty as I saw it; nothing less, nothing more.'

of wood and drawers of water-else this "qual- ity'' will degenerate itself into producers and workers. It is theory that sets up one wrong against another wrong and endeavors thereby to make one right. It has been tried before probably by Adam primarily-but it has never been accepted by moralists of the more worthy persuasion as sound or justifable.
 There is legitimate and proper argument against the overproduction of children in given circumstances All students of vital statistics, we think, frankly admit as much. But it is based on no suggestion that nine-tenths of the children born into the world are mere ''human cus." If it comedies anything of that it prob ably comedies not more than one-tenth.

CLEAR-HEADED
Head Bookkeeper Must BE Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in a large
business house in one of our great
Western cities speaks Of the harm cof-
fee did for him:
MY wife and I drank our first cup
OF Postum little over two years ago,
and we have used II ever since, 10 the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. 1t
happened in this way:
About three and half years ago
/ had an attack of pneumonia, which
left memento in the shape of dys-
pepsia, or, rather, to speak more cor
rectly, neuralgia of the stomach. My
cup of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but / became convinced, after
D time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. l happened to mention
the matter to my grocer one day and
he suggested that l give Postum a
trial.
Next day 1t came, but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling il
sufficiently, and We did not like it
much. This was, however, soon rem
edied. and now we like 1t so much
that we will never change back. Pos
tum, being a food beverage instead of
a drug, has been the means of curing
my stomach trouble, verify believe,
for am a well man to-day and have
used no other remedy.
MY work as chief bookkeeper in
our Co.'S branch house here is of
very combining nature. During my
coffee-drinking days / was subject to
nervousness and the blues in addi-
ton to my sick spells. These have
left me since | began using Postum,

TO WASH GLOVES.

Among the most useful articles OF

Besides adding g great deal to the
appearance, they are comfortable
and one does not have to think al
WAYS about keeping them clean, be,
cause. with very little effort, they
can be washed at minutes notice
and look Just as good as new; that
is. If one knows how. There is a
great art in washing gloves. and like
everything Else, it is easy, when one
knows all about it.
Put the gloves on, then rub thor
oughly with white soap, just as il
the hands were being washed and the
gloves were not there. Rinse them
out in cold water in which there Il
a little bluing; this prevents them
from turning yellow.
When they arc thoroughly clean
cd, rub ivory soap into them before
removing them from the hands. This
keeps them from becoming fuzzy and
looking as though they were made
of flannel. Hang the gloves up tc
dry in cool place in the shade, as
the sun discolors them and heat stiff
ems the chamois.
When they are dry put them OF
again and press into shape. In this
way chamois gloves will last Iona
time and look well after q great many
washings.-New Haven Register.
