AS A WOMAN SEES IT.

A few days ago the Topeka papers
contained an account Of boy VINO
was being sent to the reform school,
and who begged his mother tearfuily
to nay the tax on his dog that II
might not be shot by the dog catch
or There Is certainly something

schools that its pathOs and Tragedy
dM not affect me painfully. And the
Thought will present itself; Why are
these boys here, while their parents
are free? In the case of this boy
he had a mother. She may be
worthy woman, but II SO, she couples
with that worthiness. depioraOle
weakness; else her boy would never
have mingled with thugs and thieves
y -
It is no plea at all to say that she
had NO control over her eleven year
old boy. That. undoubtedly. is true.
But she could have had control over
her two year old boy, three year old
and four year old boy. And had she
exercised the proper control by love
and tender guidance, her eleven year
old boy would not have been con-
stantly with bad companions.
of course the blow falls more heaV-
iIy on a mother than ON any one
else. But Of all the people concern
ed in a boys career, none has the
same influence as his mother, II she
has the wisdom to use It properly.

Democratic Desert insurgents!
Much OF the insur8ent conference
today was devoted to an attempt to
bring about an agreement on the long
and short haul clause which Senator
Dixon, Of Montana, has introduced as
an amendment to the Taft railroad bill.
The "~1nsurgents' reached a general
understanding on the matter that they
are threatened with opposition now
from the democrats whom they have
heretofore counted as their allies. Many
Of the democrats are afraid to sup
port the long and short haul clause.
and will not vote for it II they can
avoid such action.
In the insurgent conference were
Senators Cu1nmins, Clapp, Beverage.
Bristow. Borah, Dixon, Dolliver. and
L4aFollette.
Many Of the insurgents are willing
to accept reasonable concessions from
the republican organization to bring
about legislation which they will feel
able to defend in the approaching cam
paign as the constructive work of the
republican party in congress. Senator
Cummins, who has led the fight against
the railroad bill, is one of the insur-
gents who believes in accepting reas-
enable concessions n enacting as
good a bill as possible.

gave a vigorous denunciation of Will
lam j. Bryan for the latter's criticism
of the appointment of Gov. Charles e.
Hughes, of New York, as associate JUS
tice of the United States supreme
court. Mr.. Taft decried the cant of
the demagog" and the disposition of
public journals" to make unjust
charges against men in public life.
"An I am appealing for is Justice and
a square DEAL" he said, mot especially
for myself, for, indeed, I am in a posi-
ton where I can get along better than
some of the rest without it. But I am
appealing for justice in dealing with
all classes"

in my remarks, or to quote what may
have been a ~misquotation. but l did
near or see a criticism OF one appoint
ment on the ground, as ! understood
it. that the appointee was not an i'm
placable- foe of wealth and corpora

has been misunderstood and that the
utterer of it did not intend to give it
the meaning and thus stated it seem
to have.

republicans, republicans n insurg-

we all are that-are in favor of having

favor of equal Justice to every one.
