 Be a good sport-and don't be like this man
 He was snipe shooting and his dog found several prairie chickens which were ont of season. He kill ed them and also several teal that came along-likewise out of season. Were these four men good sports They were not Most decidedly they were not. We will not say what they were, but they were not good sports mot one of them.
 So, in seeing what good sport is not We get glimpses of what a good sport is. Be a good sport" in plain English is: Be a sportsman and live up to the sportsman's ideals"
 Now, the sportsman is almost as difficult of adequate definition as the gentleman. Nevertheless, some of his qualities are these:
 He is just the reverse of the pot. hunter and the game hog. He would scorn to shoot a prairie chicken on the ground of a duck in the water. He kills his birds in the air and the ] harder the shot is the better he is pleased. He uses light tackle and gives the fish a chance. He never takes more from a field and stream I hn ha al lNrFas c obeys the game laws.
 Also the sportsman grins and bears it when defeat comes his way He has no excuse to offer He knows that 'ifl' count no more in golf than they do in psker--or else 1 where. He is a good loser. Also ht ! is a good winner-and bears tri umph without too many grins. Also the sportsman has no streal in him that is all yellow and yarC wide. He takes pride in keeping uI

HAVANA. June 7.-The first stage of the actual uncovering of the wreck of the bsttleship Maine was completed at , o'clock yesterday al terhoOn when pumping operations ceased after the water level within the cofferdam had been lowered five feet
 This leaves the portion or the wreck visible above the water prac- ticatly the same as on the night of disaster before the hull had time to become imbedded in the mud at the bottom of the harbor.
 Intense interest has been aroused in Havana through the realization that the wreck of the battleship is actually coming into view after 13 years burial and that the mystery regarding the character of the explo sion is soon to be cleared up

of civic activity on the part of wom- en. Never was there a woman who didn't want to help children; now so many of them are entering active fields, think what a help it would be for them to have bureau of ln- formation like this one to turn to.
 ITO me there is nothing so i'm portant as the conservation of chil' dren. There should be no considera' ton of time or money to stop any step forward along this line. And I believe that if our government would start an institution such as this, that crime and poverty both would be lessened in a noticeable degree"

another to keep the boy or girl from sinking to the natural conse- ouences of his environment, along comes the plan of a model tene- ment house-a plan which some eX- perts on the subject of tenement houses and slum conditions have evolved for the federal bureau. Be fore approving and recommending these plans, the bureau applies them, closely watching the results of such buildings, and when they are found to be really good. to be actual proof that a tenement can be erected on economical lines and still not breed vice among it's dwelleTs. the plans and literature concerning them are sent to all the cities where similar conditions exist.
 Sound Logic.
 If moral questions come up the medical and psychology experts ap- ply their theories, combine the ex- perienes of workers all over the country and transmit the results oi their work to others who need 1t.
 Men won't run big business enter prises without exrert acco ntants; thGy won go m lOE SCleuAiAiS iot Hl- ing without the advice of experts; they won't even have their law cases tried without a legal expert in the parucular kind of case on trial. Why. then, should there he an oh lection when it comes to assembling exrerts on child welfare under an organization that means the educa- ton of the entire country, as well as the establishment of standards for the people at large?
 q would not have this scheme started under the auspices of city or state-it is too far reaching. We did not hesitate over establishing a national agricultural bureau. and personally. I see no reason why the federal government should not start this department at once. It has been suggested to me that 1t might be nut under the national edcuational department, but l rather think il too big. too far reaching to be thus disposed of. Rather. the educational department should come under its supervision.

ID PREVENT CRIME
 AMONG CHILDREN

The greatest necessity of modern times as regards child welfare" de- ciared Ernest J. Lickey, head of the parental schools of Los Angeles, is reclamation bureau for children Q bureau established, not by any educational system, any city or state, but by the federal govern ment itself. to be in the hands Of experts Of every phase which touches the welfare of children. This sounds like a large demand, know but when we consider how much money the government spends an- nually studying. and transmitting the results of the studying. of agTi- cultural conditions. or of the besl methods to conserve hogs or cattle. it seems so simple and right that we should expend at least an equal amount on the conservation of our children.
 My plar is just this. I would see a great bureau started with agencies in practically every locality in. the Uaited States, and with men and women who would go straight 70 the bottom of the causes of poyert- and child crime. Of course tha; means that many phases. in fact every phase, of social work would be covered. The juvenile courts, housing commissions. school depart. ments and orphanages would all come under the supervision of this bureau. IT medical experimentation were necessary, pathologists and surgeons would experiment. or per h1ps they would find in some city Of the country a system already estab' Iishea that would answer the neces- sfty. If this were so, they would sene the news to all the other cities.

COMMITTEE WORKS
 Oh RECIPROCITY Rsss Amendment Will Pass in Committee; Senate May
 Reject It

WASHINGTON, June 7.--Abandos- i1s hope of defeating in committee tks Root amenpment to the Canadian reciprocity U.li. affecting the print ,peper and wood ISulp clause of the agreement the friends of the meas ure today began on the floor of the seaate an active campaign to prevent it's acceptance.
 The president showed anxiety over the situation when. after an execu- tive session of the senat e finance committed, he appealed to the demo cratic senators to stand out against the amendment
 Senator Stone expressed conf denee that more than majority would be found voting against the Root and all other amendments. The administration has contended that amendment to the bill probably would be fatal and therefore the measure was passed by the house in the form desired by the state de partmenc> The same argument was advanced when the measure was turEed over to the senate finance committee and Chairman Penrose oi kH6 HAS CuutARofSu u prevezt consideration of amend. meats
 Hopeful of Success.
 The principal fight on the floos will he based on the Root provision but whether it be accepted or re iected. the friends of reciprocity are now hopeful of success. The reason is fouzd in the decision of a ma iority of the democratic senators IC make no effort to attach the house free list bill to the reciprocity meas JIre.
 4 decided majority of democrats are favorable to reciprocity, but un til comparatively recently many oi them. disposed toward political ad vantage, made the condition that the Canadian bill should received nc consideration except in connection with the democratic measure They abandoned that attitude and now an nouace they will oppose all amend mests of whatever nature.
 Advocates of the bill are confident of success. but no one predicts a vote earlier than July 15.

 Want to Know How.
 We all know that Ben Lindsay has had a wonderful success; we all wish We might have a similar one, but the trouble is, We don know how. There is no one to tell us. At present there is no govern ment board where we may write for details and information and we can not well reap the benefit of sue , cesses many miles away
 Every one is so anxious to help children that the fact has become automatic. The problem is not Do we what to hep?' but rather, How can we help? What can we dO?' have talked before one club after another about conditions pertaining to children-always with the result that afterward people came to me willing, eager to serve, but with no knowledge. There is no expert liter ature on the subject to be had for the asking, no guiding plan. Take, for example, the positions Of social workers here in the city. IL is only lately that we have ] learned to install experts; 2 few years ago a man fell into his posi- | ton without any special reason. be- cause there were no standards. This | bureau will make standards for us now.
 ! Suppose the bureau should recon mend certain distinctions and qual ifications for a juvenile court judge? Don't you think the voters would have a clearer idea of what dualifi l cations to look for in a candidate, i say for school superintendent. if an accredited board had stated that il had been proved Tn one city after another that certain attainments and qualities went for an assured sue cess in educational work?
 All Are Willing.
 There are at present many asso citations and organizations in this city all crying out to help the child Humane societies, the housing com mission, this parental departmenr- dozens of them are trying to help and do help to a certain extent. But with this bureau to turn to foI guidance, there could be a unities"On and cooperation among these dfyeT cut forces that would work steadily for a betterment of conditions
 We are struggling always witt child crime; 90 per cent of on ! criminals start in their career Oi crime while they are children. We see a child brought up in a ten-fooi room of a tenement house with, say twelve other inhabitants of the same room. Yes, I know" he interrupted himself with a protesting sigh, q know plenty of peorle say there are no such conditions in Los Angeles but there are.
 This child is thrown from ths beginning of his time with all nhasei of life. regardless of whether he has reached the stage of development where he can assimilate the knowi edge sanely or not; he comes 1T contact with most of the evil phases of A big city's worst side.

Opposes Recall OF Judges

Cardinal Gibbons gives the following
reasons for opposing the recall of
judges. mo n questions" says
Cardinal Gibbons, "the ability, the
sincerely and patriotism of the advo-
Gates of these changes in our organic
law. Yet after making that conces-
sion that eminent c%hurchman and
scholar has the following to say in
opposition to the recall of judges.
ITO recall a judge because his deci-
sions do not meet with popular approval
is an insult to the dignity, the indie
pendence and the self respect of our
judiciary. Far less menacing TO the
commonwealth is an occasional corrupt
or incompetent judge than one who
would be the habitual slave of a
capricious multitude, who had always
his ear to the ground trying to find out
the verdict of h epeople.
The constitution of the United
States is the palladium of our liberties
and the landmark in our march of
progress. That instrument has been
framed by the anxious cares and
enlightened zeal of the fathers of the
republic. Its wisdom has been tested
and successfully proved after a trial of
a century and a quarter. 1t has
~weathered the storms of the century
which is passed and it should be trusted
tor the centuries to come.
Better to bear the ills we know,
than to fly to others we know not of.
Every mar that runs about waving
a new panacea for social evil is not to
be ~worshiped as a political and moral
performer. We all remember the
story of Aladdin and the Wonderful
Lamp. Better to trust to the old
lamp of the fathers which has guided
the steps of the American people for
four generations than to conf5e in
every ignls fatuus that may lead us
into dangerous pitfalls. Do not disturb
the political land. marks of the repub-
lic."
