There was philosophy in Aristotles
assertion that some youth are unfit
for the study of moral philosophy.
The suggestion arises from a ten
dency which is weakness and is
rapidly becoming a vice in present
day society. The tendency is to dodge
sn far as possible parental RESPONSE
bility and also SO far as possible
and the bounds of imagined possibil-
ity are wide flung, judging by this lat
est ggestion-impose this neglected
and denied responsibility upon the
schools and the teachers. 1t has be-
come an accepted fact among some
mothers that the teaching force of
the schools are to be made ohargeable
for the character of the members Of
the school. One most excellent wo-
man and mother not long since COM
planned bitterly that things are not
AS they should be among the pupils
of d certain high school, and sharply
criticised the teachers as responsible
for the alleged immortality existent.
This is growing opinion and grow
ing tendency. given strength by so
cial demands and desires which must
be gratifed at THE expense OF,
maternal duties and the sacrifices OF
parental responsibility.
No sex study IN our schools! Let
the mothers of the growing girls
teach them the beautiful mysteries
which are part of maternity, and let
the sires of sons teach them the sa-
credness and splendor Of sex. Let us
cease to shirk. The women who would
relegate to the teachers of public
schools the highest responsibility and
privileges Of maternity do not deserve
to be mothers.

UNCLE SANS GAINS FROM GOA,

Many instances could be cited from
the figures of the geological survey
and the general land office showing
the gain to the government under the

On basis OF minimum price $3.50, 600
On basis of valuation plan of last

the present government valuation OF
the coal land is $S,134,900, as against

Land Must Produce More.

| do not believe the farmer is get
ting more than is coming to him,
even though high prices for farm pro
iucts have been comforting.
First, one of the chief troubles lies
in the face that so many country PEG
pie have gone to the cities that suffI-
cient labor cannot be procured On the
farms to make them produce to their
full possibilities. Consequently, there
is shortage in production in proper
ton to the greatly increased number
OF consumers in the cities.
Second, there is too wide mar
gin between the price realized by the
producer and that paid by the con-
sumer. In this the packers are not
the chief offenders by any means for
all the little fellows in the little
places have learned the trick and are
playing the game.
There is no help for the situation
until our American acres are made to
proGuce more and more, rather than
less and less.-Dean Robert S. Shaw.

How a Queen Wasp Builds
Her Nest

Some bright day at the end of April
the dormant queen wasp awakes and
crawls sleepily out into the sunlight
Her first thought is her toilet Her
wings. body, antennae, and face are
briskly brushed by means of her brist-
ly legs; and then, having removed all
dust and dirt from her limbs, she
takes to her wings. She has not trav-
eiled far, perhaps, before she alights
and carefully investigates an old tree
stump; but she is soon off again.
Then the corner of the roof of a
thatched cottage occupies her atten-
ton for few minutes, and afterwards
a hawthorne and holly hedge. In the
latter place she becomes busily occu-
pied for the rest of that day and for
many days that follow In short. this
queen has discovered a suitable site
on which to commence operations for
the building of new wasp city.
Afterwards you can almost always
find her round that particular part OF
the hedge. 1t is her custom how
ever, to make little flying journeys
between the hedge and a dry wooden
shutter of a barn in the field close by.
From this shutter, by means Of her
strong jaws, she will tear off fbres
of the wood and then carry them back

THIEVES MAKE
RAID ON HOUSE
OFFICIALS DESK
Evident Attempt to Steal Bills,
However, Fails, as Super
visor Was Wary.
From a star Correspondent. ]

TRENTON, March 2.-When House
Supervisor of Bills Harry w. Berry
man, of Orange, and Assistant Super
visor Walter P. Pursell, of Montclair,
reached their offices, back of the AS
sembly chamber today, they found Pur-
sells desk had been broken open with
a chisel or jimmy and its contents ran
sacked. Berryman's desk is exception
ally heavy oak and new. Its patent
locks had successfully resisted an eff
fort to pry it's roll top open, as was
evident from scars upon its polished
surface when the jimmy was used.
The would-be thief or thieves were
unrewarded for their efforts in rifiing
the desk however.
Bergman, Pursell and the others in
the department have learned something
of Trenton tradition, and there was
nothing in either desk worth taking.
The bills in the keeping of the officials
had been removed to forestal any at
tempt TO steal them. 1t is believed
that Assemblyman Miller's Belleville
town bill may have been wanted. The
destruction of the proof of publication
of advance of notice of its iutroduc-
tion, attached to the original, would
nullify the measure.

HENDRICKS OUSTEO
FROM CAPITOL ON
LOBBYING CHARGE
State House Custodian Forces
Belleville Man to Find
New Headquarters.
From a STAFF Correspondent ]

TRENTON, March State House
Custodian John Weeseman has cleaned
house. Francis Hendricks, of Belle
vile. has been forced to find new head
quarters. The Governor, as head Of
the State House Commission, which
employs Mr. Weeseman. has been much
perturbed over Assemblyman Miller's
charge on the floor of the House that
Hendricks maintained an open bar in
the State House.
The STARS expose of the lobbying
of Hendricks against Belleville legisla-
tion and his methods in persuading
Senator Hand to hold the annexation
bill in committee has stirred the whole
State.
The governor had planned to take up
the question of Weeseman's harboring
Hendricks at this weeks meeting of
the State House commission. but the
custodian took time by the forelock
and hastily sought out the veteran
lobbyist, telling him he would have to
move. This apparently terminates a
disgraceful feature of State House life
covering a period of many years.
The governor is given credit today
for sending for President Frelinghuy-
sen. of the Senate, and telling him
that the Belleville bills in Senator
Hands committee must be reported
forthwith.

DYNAMITE FAILS

|CE.CHOKED RIVER
Flood Stricken Herkimer Over
wheImed by Magnitude of Dis
aster-No Relief in Sight.

UTICA. y Y, March with four
fifths of the town inundated. without
heat, light or drinking water. and with
the food supply fast giving out, the
people of Herkimer find themselves
overwhelmed by the disastrous magni-
tude of the flood today.
Practically every street in the village
prospect of the flood receding for the
next few days at least. Hundreds OF
pounds of dynamite have been eA-
ploded under the great ice pack which
is choking the West Canada creek
under the bridges of the New York
Central railroad and the Utica and
Mohawk Valley railroad, but the pack
remains this morning and seems TO
grow stronger as the ice from above
jams into it. The jam has turned the
creek from its regular passage and II
has swept over the village. Until il is
broken there is no relief in sight
Obeying the orders of Village Presi-
dent Grogan all the saloons in HerH-
mer are closed today. The Mayer also
swore in a large force of deputies 10
preserve order and prevent the pos
sible looting of hundreds of homes that
have been deserted.
Scores of families left their homes
during the night and morning in boats
to seek safer quarters on high land.
Hardly a furnace in Herkimer is burn
ing. all having been put out by water
rushing into the cellars
A large quantity of dynamite was
sent to Herkimer today and an effort
will be made TO blow up the ice gorge
in the Mohawk river.
The Mohawk division of the New
York Central railroad between Utica
and Albany is temporarily abandoned.
All the New York Central trains are
running on the Lake Shore railroad
tracks.
Throughout the night Herkimer was
in complete darkness, the gas and elec-
trio light plants being rendered useless
by the flood The municipal water
plant cannot be used, and people are
put to the most desperate straits for
water for drinking purposes. Fully a
third of the houses in the place are un-
inhabitable and other homes have been
thrown open to the accommodation of
the homeless as far as possible. The
gloomy. dark morning, with threaten
ing clouds. made the scene about as
hopeless as one can imagine, and hum
dreds of people were seeking safety in
the neighboring towns or on higher
ground about the village.

BIG SHIPS FLASH
GOD IN CRASH
OFF JERSEY COAST
Royal Mail Steam Packet Rams
8O0=T0n Schooner Near
Barnegat.

| BARNEGAT. March 2.-Following a
collision off this place with a big four
masted schooner, the Royal Mail steam
packet Tagus. on her way to New York
| from Colon, Panama, sent out &C. @.
D." messages early today. The mes
sages were received along the coast
and preparations were made 1t once
to rush assistance to the steamer.
According TO the wireless messages,
the Tagus was in collision with the
schooner Republic, an S00-tone vessel,
which was bound for New York from
Puerto Rico How seriously the TWO
vessels were damaged by the crash is
not known. but the fact that the Tasus
sent out calls for assistance is con-
sidered by mariners as indicating that
she is in distressing need of aid. She
carries many passengers.
For aid 10 reach the Tagus viii take
four or five hours. Owing to the dense
fog that prevailed along the coast the
position of the steamer and the sailing
vessel could not be seen. and it is not
known which has been damaged. Mar
iners here. however, figure that &c. 9.
D. calls for the steamer.
A Terrific Collision.
The collision between the two yes
sells is believed to have been ter
rife one, owing to the fact that the
Republic is one of the biggest sehoon-
ers along the Atlantic seaboard. She
is ia feet in length. IS feet in width
and Il feet in depth She is command
ed by Captain Saunders. She was built
ten years ago at Thomaston. Me.
The Tagus herself is ope of the large
steamers plying between New York and
the canal zone She is S.056 tons and
is constructed especially for coastwise
service Owing TO the heavy traffic
that exists between this country and
Panama. she usually carries a large
number of passengers on her trips be-
tween the two points.
The &c Q D" messages were received
about fifteen minutes of nine. At the
same time the call for assistance was
heard at other points along the coast
The message stated merely that the
Tagus had been in collision with the
Republic off Barnegat, and that aid
was needed at once. 1t was not stated
whether the steamer was in any danger
of sinking, nor in fact was the exact
nature of her plight made known.
Ii is thought that the &C. @. D. call
may have been picked up by other
steamers at sea and that they will
hurry to her assistance. Nearly all the
ooastwise and transatlantic vessels are
equipped with wireless. and as many
steamers are in or about the port Of
New York. it is believed that they must
have received the call.
The fog made it impossible for marin
ers to figure out how close any other
vessel might by to the Tagus. AS vessels
are due over the same course. it is sup
posed that at least one steamer equip
ped with wireless is within close range
of the Tagus.
