Directly opposed to the Roosevelt
protest against race suicide" is the
view of Prot. Edward A. Ross, profes.
sor of sociology In the University OF
Wisconsin, that an unchecked birth.
rate really tends to race suicide be.
cause it tends TO add to the numbers
of the unfortunate class of people
known to the sociologist as the mis-
cradle substratun.. If the number of
children in family outrun the fam.
lily means, the children cannot receive
the proper care, nurture and educa-
ton. A growing recognition of this
fact has led during the last thirty
years to fall in the birth rate among
all the white races of the world but
the Slavic. France started the move
ment about a generation ago. England
followed in 1873; the Scandinavian
countries in the eighties, Australasia
in 1888; Austria Hungary, Germany,
Belgium and Italy in the ninetfes. In
the United States, in spite of the i'm
migration of prolific races, there has
been a steady decrease in the birth
rate during the past forty years. The
professor tells us that his investiga.
tons in France, where the annual
birth and death rates are about even,
show great improvement in the con-
dition of all classes. Germany, which
used to boast of it's annual roll OF
100000 more births than deaths, and
call it an annual victory over France,
has experienced q change of heart.
There is no longer q belief that 1t Is
woman's duty to bring as many chill
dren as possible into the world. The
ideal marriage and proper sense OF
parental responsibility would involve
in all cases, according to Prof. Ross
theory, the rearing of family of chill
dren so proportional to the family In
come as not to be burden to the par
ents or menace to the state by In
creasing its poverty-stricken class.
More than this must inevitably lead to
national deterioration.

The Mariners Dream.
In SAUNDERS of midnight the sailor hoy
lay;
His hammock swung loose at the
sport of the wind,
But, watchworn and weary, his cares
flew away,
And visions of happiness danced DER
his mind.
He dreamed of his home, of his dear
native bowers,
And pleasures that waited on lifes
merry morn;
While Memory stood sidewise, half
covered with flowers,
And restored every rose, but secreted
it's thorn.
Then Fancy her magical pinions spread
wide,
And babe the young dreamer in &C.
stacy rise:
Now far, far behind him the green
waters glide,
And the cot of his forefathers bless
es his eyes.
The jessamine chambers in flowers DER
the thatch,
And the swallow chirps sweet from
her nest in the wall;
All trembling with transport, he raises
the latch,
And the voices of loved ones reply to
his call.
A father bends DER him with looks Of
delight:
His cheek is impaired with a moth
er's warm tear;
And the lips of the boy in a love-kiss
unite
With the lips of the maid whom his
bosom holds dear.
The heart of the sleeper beats high in
his breast;
Joy quickens his pulses hard
ships seem DER,
And a murmur of happiness steals
through his rest:
20 God! thou hast blessed me; ask
for no more"
All, what is that flame which now
bursts on his eye?
All, what is that sound which now
farms on his ear?
IT'S the lightning's red CLEAN, painting
hell on the sky!
IT'S the crashing of thunders. the
groan Of the sphere!
He springs from his hammock-he flies
to the deck!
Amusement confronts him with i'm
ages dire;
Wild winds and mad waves drive the
vessel wreck
The masts fly in splinters-the
shrouds are on fire!
Like mountains the pillows tremend.
ously swell;
In vain the lost wretch calls on Mer-
cy to save;
Unseen hands of spirits are ringing
his knell,
And the Death-angel flaps his broad
wings DER the wave!
o sailor boy, woe to thy dream Of de-
light!
In darkness dissolves the gay FROST
work of bliss.
Where, now. is the picture that Fancy
touched bright
Thy parents fond pressure, and
loves honeyed kiss?
o sailor-boy, sailor boy, never again
Shall home, love, or kindred thy
wishes repay!
Unblessed and unhonored, down deep
in the main
Full many a fathom, thy frame shall
decay.
No tomb shall e'er plead to remem-
brance for thee,
| Or redeem form or frame from the
merciIess surge;
| But the white foam of waves shall thy
winding sheet be,
And winds, in the midnight of win
| ter, thy dirge!
| On a bed of green sea -f1owers thy
limbs shall be laid;
| Around thy white bones the red coral
| shall grow;
OF thy fair yellow locks, threads OF
| amber be made;
| And every part suit to thy mansion
| below.
| Days, months, years, and ages shall
| circle away,
| And still the vast waters above thee
shall roll;
Earth loses thy pattern for ever and
aye,
| o sailor hoy, sailor boy, peace to thy
| soul!

Bridge Across Chicago
River.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-Two unidenti-
fed men were drowned in the Chi
cago river last night, when team of
runaway horses plunged into an open
draw on the Twelfth street bridge. A
passing street car narrowly escaped
the same fate at the same point a
few moments before. The motorman
stopped the car fifty feet from the
bridge and had just gone forward on
foot to discover the cause of the ex-
element there. A boy released the
car brakes and turned on the power.
Policeman NJ. ]. Mulvey stopped the
car on the brink Of the open draw by
Selling the trolley rope and pulling
the trolley from the wire. Several
women were injured in a panic on the
car.
When the bridge tender saw the
runaway team approaching the draw

TEDDY FIRED
BY CUMMINS
Iowa Senator Has Given Notice to
Roosevelt to go Back to the
JungIes.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 4.-Sen-
ator Cummins has fired Teddy. No
more will that mighty hunter be per-
mitted to train in the insurgent camp.
The Evening News, of this city, gen
orally recognized as Senator Cum
Minis personal organ, has uttered the
sentence of dismissal in an editorial
which it heads: Goodbye Colonel.
Take Care of Yourself
In this editorial the News init
mated that the insurgent movement is
greater than Theodore Roosevelt, and
can get along without him. The News
is acknowledgements with democratic
leanings, but has always been the
champion of Senator Cummins. It led
in the call on Governor Carroll to
withdraw from the republican ticket
as a candidate for reelection. on ac-
count of the Cownie libel suit. which,
it is understood, was brought on adj
vice from the junior senator to dis
credit Carroll in the campaign and to
encompass his defeat.
The News declares that Taft is not
welcome as recruit to the insurg,
ent cause and that Roosevelt's room
is now far more preferable to his
company.
The declaration of the News is pre-
liminary to Senator Cummin's formal
announcement as candidate for the
presidency.
In the course of It's article the News
says: Roosevelt bringing with him
Taft, Ballinger, Wickersham, Root
Morgan, Lurton and Hitchcock, and
all the motley crew Of plutocrats and
Hessians of privilege, cannot enlist in
the army of insurgency.
Insurgency got along pretty well
when Roosevelt was In Africa; IL
would have been as sensible If James
Buchanan, with JEFF Davis and his
outfit, had tried to get into the coun
ellis of Abraham Lincoln.
Roosevelt has commended Taft
the political assassin of Pinchot. And
now 1t is goodbye, colonel"

Cooper is Positive.

Mr.. Cooper talked very free
" about the dam and said that
there was no question aboat
the building. His assurances as
to the financial ability to exc
cute the work, the fact that
the enterprise had been finaced
and the solidity Of the syndi-
cate was ample assurance of
the destiny of the project. The
enlargement of operations
would be but matter Of a
short time, depending a little
on the completion of details,
and the work of closing up the
options.

amount of capital necessary to
build the dam very tedious.
The work involved in the be-
ginning is the only excuse he
has to offer for staying with
the project. He says, however,
that he has finally assembled
the most powerful financial
syndicate ever interested in
work Of this character.

First Installation Increased.

The plans that had been
worked out for the first install
lation for the development Of
100000 horse power about
three months ago were changed
SO as to develop 100000 horse
power, the syndicate deciding
100000 horse power too small.
This increased the detail work
of the first organization plans
and delayed the work to some
extent. The total development
will be 100000 horse power, it
being the intention to reserve
for Keokuk and Hamilton 3d.
900 horse power for local dis
tribution. This ought to bring
large manufacturing interests
to this vicinity.

There will be no complaints of low

completed. The stage here during
low water will then be ten feet higher.
For instance, when the register now

completed, will be ten feet above The
flood stage will not be affected. Thus
