HER MOTHERS fAULI."

Tn the murder-Scandal case which is now drawing the lime- light to Virginia there is one point that should be lesson to every parent in the country.
 The wayward affinity" in. fatuation for whom, it is charged led to the killing, by her hus- band, of the young wife, puts the blame on her mother. "She never controlled me, and she never taught me to control my. self. Had 1 been reared differ- ently would have seen things in a different light. My mothers easy indulgence set my feet on the downward road"
 Here is an arraignment that makes the blood run cold. The mother who jeopardized her life to bring this girl into the world. the mother who probably has sac- rificed her time. her wishes, her comfort and her hopes in order to smooth the way for her child, is held responsible by that child for her own miserable fall.
 It is picture full of Bertha Binfords; her type is by no means a rare one. Pretty, deemed too pretty to be held down to domes- tic drudgery, headstrong, pleas ure-loving, she was spoiled by the very mother who would have given her life to save her from evil. Humored and petted. she had no home duties imperatively imposed upon her to fill her time and her thoughts. No sacrifices were required of her-the poor mother made all of these-and no obedience was exacted.
 Thus she grew up without a single equipment to meet the storm and stress of life. Is it any wonder that the tempter found her an easy prey?
 Through oyer-indulgence her hands were not roughened with homely duties, but her unpro- tected soul was stained with the worlds sin.
 And now, when it is too late for rescue, when the shadows of shame are closing about her, she cries out of their blackness: Tt was my mothers fault; she never controlled me, she never taught me to control myself"
 It is not to the tribunal of pub lie opinion alone that this excuse is pleaded. It will go on to the Supremest of all supreme courts, whose judge is the Maker of men. There, in the awful silence of eternity, the startled mother will hear the same dread accusation.
 And who shall say what share of the guilt the all-wise judge will lay upon her?
 In all the years crime register there is no figure more pathetic than this indulgent mother ac- cused by the spoiled daughter. The world turns it's head away sickened with the sight. And yet the whole world reads the lesson of the spectacle, sees the awful warning in its every line.
 No woman has right to bring children into the world and not teach them the great lessons of obedience, of self-control, of an honest appreciation between right and wrong. The mother love that is too weak and too indul- gent to hold the child's worst nature in check is the lowest form of the highest passion with which God lowered human be- ings.
 Out of the mouth of a prosti- ute has come the trumpet-like

A TO FIND GOLD.

Washington, March 10-The way
to ind gold is not to take aboard an
! assortment of scientific information
but to acquire a pick and shovel, a
hammer, a magnifying glass and a
pack mule and strike into the hills.
This bit of wisdom from Senator
Hepburn, of Idaho, who halls from
the Couer d'Alene gold region of his
state and has long been the attorney
of big mining companies.
mo scientific study" says Hey
burn, "can aid q man In finding a
mine. No geologist ever discovered
a mine that ever / heard of. There
is not a mine Of value In the United
States today that was ever discover
ed by a g%eologist or by any person
acting upon scientific principles.
Our mines have been discovered by q
class Of men, pioneers as a rule, who
exercised their own common sense
and the Judgment Of the hour, who
never read a scientific work relating
to the subject. The Comstock mine
was discovered by a poor, broken
prospector, who would probably
have starved to death before he got
out of the country had he not found
the mine.
''The oil wells OF Pennsylvania
are an excellent example of the utter
failure and impracticability of leav-
ing this to the scientists. OF course
it was first discovered upon the sur
face Of the river. The Indians used
to pick it up on their blankets and
wiring the blankets out and sell 1t
for oil for medicinal purposes"

HARMONY IN
NEXT SENATE
Republicans Get Together
for Extra Session.

Washington, March 1o.-That there /
. to be Republican harmony In the ]
senate during the next session Is as
kured by the mov to name Senator
Gallinger OF New Hampshire as chair
OF the committee ON committees,
succeeding former Senator Hale. The
tnsurgent senators, In consideration of
their coming into the fold, are to be
given representation on all committees,
and, furthermore, the 'i~rregulars'' are
to abide by the rules of the caucus In
which the regulars are In the majority. |
The Republican caucus, which is to
name the committee on committees
and provide for the organization of the
new senate, win be called to meet
probably April /, The Important thing
before the caucus is the selection of
the chairman. who appoints the COM
mittee on committees, which makes all
the committee assignments. 1t Is a
precedent In he senate that the sena-
tor with the longest service to his
credit is made chairman Of the caucus.
Senator Frye Of Maine Is the oldest
member In point of service, but he de-
clined the caucu craftsmanship two
years ago by reason of impaired health
and made way for his colleague. Sem
ator Hale. 1t Is understood that Sem
ator Frye will again decline the honor.
Senator Cullom of Illinois Is next in
line, but 1t is predicted that he will
stand aside In favor of q more active
senator.
Senator Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire, next to Frye and Cullom, has the
longest service He ia one of the most
active members OF the senate, AMI In
the calculations now indulged In by
senators with regard to the reorgani-
ration of the senate the name Of the
New Hampshire senator is most fro
Quently discussed.
Before they enter the caucus the I'm.
surgents viii have an agreement as to
what they arc TO expect in the way of
committee assignments. 1t is their
present purpose TO ask for appoint
ment for four OF their number on the
committee On committees. which has
heretofore consisted OF nine members.
There IL some talk Of increasing the
committee from nine to eleven.
The greatest interest centers in the
reorganization of the finance commit.
tee, which is to be the most important
committee at the special session OF
congress. lfnasmuch az 1t viii consider
all tariff legislation.
The insurgents win demand two Of
ths three Republican vacancies on the
finance committee, and it - very likely
that their request will be granted. In
that event Senators Ia Toilette of Wis
consin and Cummins OF Iowa will be
chosen.
