EMPRESS RATES REDUCED.

Instead OF leaving the reduction of
express rates 10 the influence of COM
petition offered by the parcels post
the interstate commerce commission
has prescribed maximum rates for
the whole country which will become
effective as soon as the schedule is
published.
This regulation of rates has fol-
lowed an investigation covering more
than a year, in which the methods of
the express companies have been care
fully studied and their representatives
given every opportunity to present
their objections 10 a change. Though
the companies claimed the proposed
rates would be confiscatory the COM
missioners were not convinced. They
believe the companies can do business
at a fair profit under the new sched-
ule.
Sample schedules published show
that the reductions will average from
twenty five TO fifty per cent on pack
ages weighing five pounds and under
and from ten 10 thirty per cent on
heavier parcels. These reductions
represent what the public has been
paying for express service in excess of
| a reasonable charge and account for
| the enormous profits the express COM
| panies have been distributing at the
| expense of their patrons.
The necessity of this interference
on the part of the government. in
post, shows the power attained by
the express in the long period of un-
restrained operation and their ability
TO so manipulate rates as 10 in a
measure defeat competition.

RARIES AND PICS.

Miss Julia c. Lathrop, director Of
the federal children's bureau. is OPP
posed to placing babies in a class with
pigs by exhibiting them for prizes at
agricultural shows. Babies" says
Miss Lathrop, "are the most impor-
tant precious growing things in the
world, and prizes are not needed to
stimulate parents interest in them"
Miss LathrOp's idea is that certifi-
Gates awarded to mothers who care
most efficiently for their babies would
be much more TO the purpose, and
she argues quite logically that mothers
who through luck are blessed with
healthy babies deserve less credit than
mothers who through careful Observ-
ance of the rules of sanitation and
feeding develop sickly babies into
healthy children.
1t seems TO US that Miss Lathrop
has defined the supreme test, the in
telligence with which the mother has
cared for her child rather than the
health of the baby which has thrived
in spite of neglect instead OF as a re-
suit of intelligent care. The nation
cannot afford to trust to luck for the
development OF its children into nor
NAL men and women, but must slim
ulate the use of rational means Of
preserving the health of the normal
child and Of giving strength to the
abnormal.
Many things are done in the name
Of scientific child rearing that would
not stand a scientific test. They are
the result either of ignorance and mis-
conception or of a tendency to take
advantage of the prescribed rules to
relieve the work of much OF its I'M
pleasant detail. 1t Is easy under this
system for the indolent mother to find
excuse for avoiding calls upon her
maternal instincts and thus neglect
her child under pretense Of giving it
scientific treatment.

Heretofore the United States has

This is the meaning Of the policy

ing to extend It TO other Central
American states. The policy also has
a direct bearing on Mexico. which has
twice considered colonization proposl-
tions from Japan. once fer Magdalena

Mexico may be only flirting with
Japan for the effect on the United
States does not alter the condition
which this government feels il must
meet for its own protection.

Tom Taggart. He has been on close
confidential terms with practically eV-
cry prominent Indiana man on the
political stage in the last twenty years
and il is a dull day when Louis does
not pack about with him several i'm
pOrtant political secrets.
When he still was comparatively
new to the ways of the big, wide
world, Louis was sent TO interview
Benjamin Harrison, who could say
less to a reporter when he wished
TO than any man OF his time. Gen.
Harrison had been spending the sum-
mer in the Adirondacks, and was due
TO arrive home. A mayoralty cam
paign was on and Preston TruSler,
the republican candidate for the Of
fee, had voted against Harrison when
he was a candidate for president. It
was believed that unless Harrison for
gave and helped to pull the republic
can elephant along, Trusler was in
for a drubbing. Louis had had i'm
pressed upon him the Importance of
inveigling Harrison into telling what
his attitude would be. So the mo-
ment the ex-president stepped off the
train, Louis was right at his heels. and
he followed him through the station
10 his carriage, all the while trying TO
summon enough nerve to ask him the
question.
At the carriage door, Louis cleared
his throat and said:
General, il is rumOred that your
influence will be felt in the city cam
paign in behalf OF Mr.. Trusler."
Whereupon Harrison looked Louis
Ludlow squarely in the eye and said
rs that so? / shall have TO inves
! tigate that rumor"
And the carriage bore him away.

The manner of the sacrifice differed
according TO the district. In South
India the widow jumped or was
forced into the .re-pit: in Western
India she was placed in a grass hut,

right hand while her left held the
torch, in the Gauges valley she lay
down upon the already lighted pile;
while in Nepal she was placed be-
side the corpse. and when the pile was
lighted the two bodies were held in
place by long poles pressed down by
relatives
