Would Tell How

N. Y. Doctor Says People Should
be Told How to Prevent.
Large Families.

NEW YORK, March 28.-Race
suicide is bugaboo and large
families a crime, says DR.. William
j. Robinson of Mount Morris, N.
Y, a practicing physician and
president of the American society
of medical sociology, who strong
ly advocates the giving of the
proper information to the people
as to how to keep down the birth
rate. He expects to draft a bill
making such information legal.
The birth of a child, he says,
often brings gloom and misery
into the household. The first child
is a treasure, the second and third
less so, and the fourth is openly
unwelcome. Families, he says,
which have started out with bright
prospects and all the comforts of
life, are often plunged into the
lowest depths of AFFECT poverty
because of too many children. II
not only causes poverty, but ig-
norance, idleness, sickness, crime
and death. DR.. Robinson laughs
at the claims of the disciples OF
Roosevelt, that people will stop
having children, and in half a
century the race will die out. This,
he says, is a groundless fear and
a silly calumny on the human
race.
"The parental instinct" DR.,
Robinson says, sis a pretty strong
instinct. The parents are rare in
deed who do not wish to have al
least one or two children. Those
who have seen the anguish OF
some wives who have remained
childless will not share the fear
that when the knowledge of the
means of prevention of large FAM
lilies has become common property
the race will die out. No. There
will be fewer children, but they
will be brought into the world
with pleasure and hopeful expecta-
tions."

lture before the Women's Trade
Union league. "The men would get
along, so long as they lived, very
well without us. When a man
wants to have a good time he very
often does not ask his wife to go
with him.
But what would happen IL all
the men should die?" There would
be, as in the other case, few
heart aches, perhaps. and we
would change from civilization to
barbarism. There is nothing that
men do not do better than women
even cooking"

WHY WOMEN SHOULD
WEAR HATS AT SC SHOWS

~ H
WEAR HATS AT sc SHOWS
Nickel shows are too short to
Justify ones taking off her hat.
Nickel theater seats are too
close together to permit. one to
take off her hat without disar-
ranging her hair.
Nickel theaters, as a rule, have
no dressing rooms, where one can
rearPange a mussed-up couture.
WHY WOMEN SHOULD TAKE
HATS OFF AT sc SHOWS
Men have rights which women
should respect.
When q man puts up a nickel he
wants to see B cents worth of mo-
ton picture show, instead of $40
worth of chiffon, flowers and
feathers.
Equal rights for all, special
privileges for none.
A niclxel's worth of show for a
niclxeI's worth of admission fee.
Shall women be compelled to
remove their hats in nickel shows
Beside this question, woman suf-
frage, Canadian reciprocity and
the mobilization of troops on the
Mexican border pale into infini-
tesimal insignificance.
For this Is question that
comes right home to US, directly
and squarely. Men have long

CITIZENS WILL DETERMINE

Devils Lake, N. d., March g.
Something of sensation was sprung

council here last evening, when a
petition signed by about 100 of the
citizens was presented asking the
council to call an election for the pur-
pose OF determining whether or not
the people of Devils Lake desire the
commission form of city government.
AS a result of this action, 1t is proba-
BILE that an election will be called

spoke In this city few days ago
on the working OF the commission

HIGH Wind WRECKS
MINING TRESTLE
$4,000 LOSS TO COMPANY NEAR
sTockETT, MoNT.-25o MEN
MADE IDLE.

Stockett, Mont, March 9.--Coming
out OF the southwest where two clouds
appeared to meet, wind OF tornado
nature swept down McGriffin couIee
yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock and
destroyed the long trestle over the cou-
lee connecting No. s mine with the
general dump of the coal company.
The structure, reaching 1900 feet
across the coulee and ITO feet at the
highest point above the earth, was
doubled up by the wind, lifted into the
air and then thrown down with q force
that smashed the wood to kindling and
bent the irons into loops The debris
fills the coulee and 1t win take weeks
to clear 1t away.
That fatalities did not result from
the wrecking of the great reach seems
marvellous. A car had passed. over less
than five minutes before, and 1t was
but little less than an hour before
the car carrying the ESQ men who work
in No. would have been crossing.
The property loss, according to SUI
perintendent James Pearson of the
mining company. will not be far from
$4,000 The trestle will have to be
built anew from the very foundation.
None of the wood or iron can be util-
tied.
The rebuilding Of the trestle will re-
ouire perhaps ninety days. The men
employed at No. mine, a force OF
about $50 men, will be idle the entire
time.
