NOT WITHIN THE LAW.

Members of the New York board Of
education have decided that mater
nity vacations shall no longer be
granted. A married teacher applied
to the board for a vacation for year
for the frank and openly avowed pur-
pose of becoming a mother. The
board decided that vacations for such
a purpose did not come within the
laws view of the relation of the
school teacher to the school board.
1t is stated, however, that the ac-
tion of the board was not unanimous.
There were several women on the
board who voted to grant the vaca-
tion for the reasons asked. One of
these women members it is said, was
an old maid. ,
Now, We need an emphatic express
ion or two from Theodore Roosevelt
on Tie subject of the higher educa-
tion becoming accessory to race sui
eide For years the owners of apart
ment houses in the fashionable dis
tricts of the larger cities have placed
a ban on maternity by the mo child
ren" clause in their leases. The pug
and the poodle, the parrot and the
cat may come and be welcomed but
the innocent child must be barred.
The mo children movement has ad-
vanCed so far that the culinary artist
seeking a situation now frequently
embodies in her application the clause
barring children from the homes Of
those whom she would serve. The
ushers in fashionable churches of the
present day look askance at the wo-
man who would enter the portals of
those "sanctuaries" with a child in
her arms-forgetting that Christ the
Master once said, Suffer little child
rem t come unto me, for of such is
the kingdom of heaven" But it has
remained for the board Of education
of the borough of Manhattan to say
that she who bears children shall be
barred from teaching children.
It seems, in our humble opinion,
that the woman who has brought into
the world the smiling babe and has
watched with tender care and solic-
itous love TIE growing body and the
budding mind-what has watched and
prayed over and cherished and kissed
the atom created in Gods own image
who has hoped and feared, and

feared ana hoped agA!u. as she has
guarded the developing flower. she
who has given the susteTance OF her
own body 10 the creation and main
tenance of life in the new being
should be more and better fitted than
any other person in the task OF
teaching the opening bud to bloom.
The school laws OF the city OF New
York may have no specific sections
in them which will permit of the
granting of a years vacation to the
married woman teacher who is about
TO become mother but all laws,
criminal and civil and moral and
humane, have a greater or a less de-
gree Of elasticity-will admit Of more
or less evasion and case interpre-
tation so that in this particular in
tance, the members OF the school
board might have granted the vaca-
tion asked knowing that if they erred
they would have erred in the cause
of Justice and Of humanity.

Monday morning he walked over to
Silica, a distance of four miles. The
train was pulling out when he got in

and of course the trip did not worry
him any. All probably and doubt

Cruce Still Resisting
Estimates as to the total value of
the 112 contracts range from $1,000,
600 to $5,006,000 for the five years
they were to run. and Governor Cruce
has made it pretty plain that he would
resist to the end, in the courts and
the legislature, all efforts to make
the contracts stick.
His message to the special session
specifically recommends that the old
1908 contracts be extended for anoth-
er year, and a textbook commission
be created to make new contracts af-
ter that date, which would have tie
practical effe of eliminating entirely
the contracts made by Messrs. Will

Will Remain In California Until Land
Legislation Is Concluded.
Washington, May 8. - Fresh hope
that Mr.. Bryan will be able to bring
about an amelioration of the proposed
anti-Japanese legislation in California
was inspired in official circles here
upon receipt of telegram from the
secretary of state saying he was going
to stick 1t out at Sacramento until the
Legislature had rendered its final de-
cision on the matter at issue.
1t is hoped that Mr.. Bryan has
found some reason to believe he can
win success in his efforts to keep the
Californians from passing bill which
will involve the federal government
in difficulties with the government Of
Japan.
The presidents telegram of warning
to Governor Johnson that the Webb
bill is likely to involve the federal
government in delicate litigation has
made it clear that Mr.. Wilson expects
to see the issue threshed out In the
courts unless the Californians give up
their determination to legislate against
the Japanese.
The opinion In Washington Is that
unless California's legislature desists
the United States must face trying
and prolonged period of discussion of
the whole issue before the federal
courts.

Sacramento, Cal, May 3. - An

property for period not exceeding
three years, was adopted by the sen.

The bill was sent to the state print.
er, with emergency orders to rush the
reprint of the measure aimed at the
Japanese.
Under ordinary circumstances the
amended bill would not be ready for
final action before next week, but the
majority leaders had arranged things
in advance, so that the new measure
could be put to final vote at once
and final answer be given to Secre-
tary of State Bryan's effort to prevent
legislation at this time.
The amendment was decided upon
at conference in which Governor
Johnson, Attorney General Webb and
Senator A. E. Boynton, floor leader in
the upper house, participated. The
original bill prohibited both ownership
and leasing, but on the receipt of Wig
orous protests from large land inter
ests that would be seriously affected

FISHING SECRET OUT
Large Catches Of Trout Explained by
Owner of Hatchery.

Owner of Hatchery.
Wilkes Barre, Pa, May 3. - Frank
Drumheller, Of st. Johns, who owns
trout hatchery, has explained the sue
cess of many anglers who have been
coming home with reports of big
catches and the fish to back up their
stories.
Drumheller has declared that he has
no more fish for sale. He says that
anglers from Wilkes-Barre, who have
whipped the mountain streams with
out success, have bought up all the
fish he had for sale and that hereafter
all the fishermen will have to provide
their own supply.
Drumheller declares that the big
catches reported by men of that sec
ton were catches made on a Silver
hook"
