THE BABY CROP.

TO wrapup Baby Buntin' in.
Alas, Weshall never know what
immortal poet is the author of
these classic lines. The song is
still with us, but the name Of it's
author was torn off and lost years
ago. And such is fame. Selah.
Yet in our retrospective mo
ments it is a sweet solace to bark
back through the years and re-
fresh our memory with the tender
notes Of Rock-a-by Baby as they
came to us where we lay wrapped
in pillows and things. Many in
FAINT storms have been Gained
and many incipient spasms a.
verified by the skillful application
of broken doses of Rock-a-by
Baby"
But we are told that the dear
old lullaby must pretty soon hike
along after it's forgotten author.
The word comes direct from my
old school-mate, Prof. Walt Will
cox, of Cornell University. Walt
tells me on the @. T. that the ba-
by crop is dying out, and that
one hundred years from now
there will not be any babies in
the United States. Walt has fig
ured it out by the Rule of Two
and-a-Half or some other math-
ematical sleight-of-hand and he
says he knows what he is talking
about.
But / sorter suspect that Walt
has got the wrong SOW by the ear
in this baby business. /. have not
noticed any falling off in the crop
Of squallers down this way. Hang
taxed if they amt nearly as thick
as June-bugs, and still a-coming.
And every new arrival brings
with it a voice that sounds like
the devil APPLYING Sindy'' on a
gourd fiddle.
The baby crop dying out? Not
in this neck Of the woods. Ifmon-
ey was as plenty as babies the
average poor man would be a
millionaire. It amt a question of
getting the little mites of human
ity launched on the sea of life
the problem is how to keep
them from going naked and starv-
ing to death. You take ten poor
families, and nine Of them have
more kids than they can feed and
clothe decently.

them old dried-up bachelors and
old maids up North who love dope
and dogs better than they love

bought their seats or had them
bought for them by some crimi-
nal corporation?
Shucks! Also scat! Senator
O'Gorman is a back number. tie
is actually honest. He is posi-
lively sincere. He has principles,
scruples and other antiquated
sentiments. Heseems to be labor
ing under the delusion that it is
the duty Of a senator to represent
the people, and not the power Of
money.
According to our modern stand
ards, a man is entitled to what
ever he has bought and paid for.
If he has bought a seat in the
Senate, it is his; if he has bought
a seat in the Cabinet, it is his.
If he has bought a law or a leg
islature, a Judge or a judicial de
cision, they are his.
Would Senator O'Gorman inter
fere with the sacred rights of pro-
perry?
If a man is rich enough in dol
lars and poor enough in character,
he can buy a seat in the Senate
and sit on it till the seat Of his
breaches shines like the character
of a saint.
Who is there to put such a man
out Of the Senate? Surely not the
other Senators who have also
bought their seats. Surely not the
criminal corporations who have
bought seats for their special
representatives.
The men who own the dollars
are the men who own the govern

Experiment in Paving.

Des Moines, June 29.-Special: The
experiment of turning brick pave
ment into asphalt on Ninth street
from Grand avenue to Locust street
was commenced yesterday by placing
a wearing surface of asphalt over the
old brick pavement on contract let
at $1.09 per square yard. Other cit
les have tried surfacing worn brick
pavement with asphalt with indiffer-
ent success. This is the first expert
ment of the kind which Des Moines
has attempted. The old pavement,
which was laid in 1898, is considera-
bly, worn, but the concrete base is
said to be in good shape. The brick
was prepared with a coating of NOR
tar on which the asphalt surface Is
being laid. If successful, there are a
number of other streets of the city
with worn pavement which will be
similarly treated.
