COL. VETS ABOUT THE SAME
Very little Change In His Condition.
Sustained Twelvc-D Day Hiccoush
Attack.

Col. Frank Vets. formerly a resi-
dent of Grand Forks and who has
been very seriously i'll for some time
past following an operation, is still in
about the same condition according
to q letter received today by j. d.
Bacon from Mrs. NJ. S. Titus of Mimic.
Mr.. Viets' daughter.
Fer twelve days following the oper-
alton Mr.. Viets had a constant hic-
cough. but that has been stopped now.
His appetite is vcly poor. and that
has been responsible for the fact that
his recovery has been very slow. In
fact. he has shown VERY little change.
Throughout the entire time Col.
Eiets has retained his good spirits and
he is making a hard fight for recov-
cry, although his condition is still very
grave.

ion of members of the senate pension
committee. OF which Senator McCum-
Der Of North Dakota is chairman. the
committee and the senate will discard
the Sherwood pension bill, which has
been passed by the house. and adopt
Senator McCumber's bill. The COM
missioner OF pensions figures show
that the Sherwood bill will increase
the annual budget by $4,000. 900.
The McCumber bill will provide. for
the first year an added expenditure Of
$4,000 600 and never will reach the
proportions Of the Sherwood measure.

The McCumber bill provides the fol-
lowing scale Of pensions to veterans

A VOICE IN THE DARKNESS
By THE WANDERER.

It is but short time since that Teddy" the invincible, passed through our prospective state and uttered few hurried words to the worshipers of his sacredness, the past director of things and men.
 He was heard to say, "You know my sentiments on the baby ques- tion." These sentiments have been heralded the civilized world over.
 But in anticipation of his ideas followed through posterity, we are at once confronted with problems. It is too often true that homes the least fit for the advent of children are the very ,ones where the stork seems to alight most often. In these houses boys and girls are reared much after the manner of swine-a dozen or more puny, un- cleanly.looking kids, all sizes and all manner of dispositions. crowd around few scraps of bread or 8 bowl of gruel. and fingers oftener than spoons are used to convey the simple food to mouths enclosed in veneer of mother earth and filled with decaying teeth; all per- haps are barefooted, ragged and wan; the girls hair hanging in tangled masses from heads that seldom know of the virtues of soap and water.
 A mother, pale, cross and tired slaps an urchin into 8 corner or buries her fingers in the tangled locks of her feminine offspring, while 8 drunken husband and father staggers into the humble dwelling, uttering violent curses because of the ill-kept and barren surroundings; because of the clamor for bread from a dozen famishing throats; because of his slavery and the consequent slavery of his chosen mate, and because it is almost an impossibility for him to ever shake free of the shackles that bind him

as long as he breathes upon this earth.
 What great men and women can justly be expected to grow out of of such surroundings? Scanty ra- tions of poorest degree; raiment sadly deficient; love a flown bird; warmth and comfort a never -tasted luxury; curses for poetry; violent spasms of rage and anguish for amusement and consolation; want for 8 boon companion, and a life of degradation and crime for a future. Yes, he'll for a stage, hu- man devils for actors and corrupt earth for dome.
 Which is better, to bring up properly and succeed in educating a moderate family of three or four. or to rear brood of dozen and present them to the world steeped in sorrow, woe, want and misery, that must be experienced to be appreciated? To properly clothe and feed and train morally in purity and ennobling sentiments. or to rear litter of human swine to browse on the dumps for an ex- istence? to wear but the cast off raiment of even beggars? to study the criminal page for bible, and to lead life of licentiousness and Inebriation; yea, to die mid the murky lights of the underworld?
 There are children who do not know the love of true father or mother. They seemed unbidden. and so unwanted they must remain. They must live in such an atmos- phere that it would have been better had they perished ere one fleeting breath was drawn.
 Provide way, means. whereby these families that now carry the banner for anti race suicide policies may live, not exist; awaiting, they know not what. Single out the talents of these multitudes and train them accordingly; then there'll not be superabundance of any one profession or trade, but an even tenor and livelihood will be more easily apprehended from the marts of the industrial world. Then there will be fewer maniacs. fewer con- victs, fewer residents in the under world, and less ,pauperism.
