GERMAN DAPT|STS
National Conference to Open In
Madison To- Morrow
Large Crowd

The annual national conference of the
German Baptist church will convene in
Madison tomorrow, holding Its first ses.
sion at Normal gymnasium tomorrow
evening. The attendance of clergymer,
delegates and their families will be
large, reservations having already been
made for 600, and private advices re-
oeived by members of the church from
friends who will attend the conference
but who have not made formal reser a
tion indicate that the number will be
much larger, estimated at 1900 or
2, 900 In attendance at the conference
next Sunday. The attendance Is ex-
pected to be augmented the latter part
of the week, remaining over Sunday,
by church people from nearby points.
and as the membership of the local
church appreximates 500 it is easy to
estimate that during the week the con-
ference membership will reach into the
thousands.
Delegates will COM hence arriving
by the north and the west trains to-
morrow morning from the northwestern
states, and a special train made up in
Chicago for the accommodation of dele
gates from eastern states is scheduled
to arrive In this city at 6 O'Clock to-
morrow evening. The special train
cou prises baggage car, two coaches.
two tourist sleeping oars, u standard
twelve-section drawing sleeping
car and one observation cafe car.
The special is routed by Milwaukee
Mason City, Sioux Falls, and will
reach Madison from the south.
Church people have been busy the
past several weeks preparing for the
conference and have secured the use
of East Hall for the accommodation
of as many delegates as possible while
private homes have been opened for
the accommodation Of all who may be
in attendance. Meals will be served
at East Hall, a charge Of 81 per day
having been fixed for board and lodg-
ing. The sessions of the conference
will be held in Normal gymnasium
which will provide q seating capacity
of about 1900, and overflow meetings
will be held In the herman Baptist
church and perhaps other churches.
The conference was held in Milwau
kee last year. the enrolment res ching
5000. so it will be seen that Madison
is to be the Mecca of German Bsp-
fist people during the balance of the
week. Citizens generally are taking
an interest in the gathering and will
assist in the entertainment of the
visitors. As the first mark OF well
come it is suggested that as many auto
mobile owners as possible assemble at
the depot upon the arrival of the
special train tomorrow evening and
carry arriving delegates to East Hall
and other places to which they may
be assigned.

Is true that eighteen months Is a short

There is hardly one among them that a

As 10 the two tendencies noticed. the
Indifferent women have not yet prepared
themselves for citizenship. AS more ad-
vance is made In the evolution of woman

art can be taken as pleasures-and very

Another Old Hotel Menaced,

The business troubles of the St Denis Hotel are
quite different from the circumstances when cauSeu
the closing Of the Astor House. but they are sus-
gestive of the fate which in one form or another
is overtaking the famous old hotels of lower Broad
way and indeed of all the lower part of the city.
1t is not beyond the recollection Of men VINO
would resent being called old when the St Denis
Hotel and TayIorS restaurant formed one OF the
great sights and attractions of the city; when the
white marble of the ST. Nicholas. the vast eXpanNe
of brownstone of the Metropolitan and the over
decorated facade of the Prescott we're spectacleS
sought by every sightseeing visitor; when the Clar-
endon was still the chief abode of ariStocratc eN-
cluSivcneSS: when the huge mass of the United
States lowered like landmark near the East RIVER.
and the wideSpreading veranda Of the Merchants
presented the aspect of biz country tavern only
block from the busiest North River ferry
1t will be hoped that the St Denis will be enabled
TO keep going as one of the few good odtmers that
are left: perhaps also as sort Of seed corn for the
raising Of a few new hotels in this downtown re-
gion where as matter of fact, they really seem to
be needed

A Vicious View of Motherhood.

sound and persuasive document is the minority
report Of DIR. Ira s. Wile of the elementary schools

Education that women teachers may become mothers
without becoming a vicious influence upon the
schools we shall be greatly disappointed.
most interesting portion Of the protesting report
relates to the argument of the majority that mater
nifty is thing'to keep out of the sight and minds Of
children. "A very narrow and vicious view of the
status Of maternity" DR.. Vile calls this plea The
minority report is equally sound on the subject of
race suicide resulting from the proposed rule. In
connection Herewith it may he noted that General
Wingate introduced drastic resolution which would
drop women teachers the moment they married.
This is at least logical and consistent policy, and
IN our view the board must ultimately choose be

treat marriage and motherhood as normal incidents

Bryan in bis latest remarks upon his plan taNS
vaguely about the government issuing the money.
No sensible person proposes to deprive the govern
ment of this monopoly Let the government issue
the money. Let the banks issue the notes, the
promises to pay money. 1t is better that the gov
ernment should not issue promises TO pay. EXpe-
rience proves this. Issuing promises to pay by

greenbackism.
But with all the changes that are likely to be
made the administration will have to be careful
that it does not drive the national banks TO take
out state charters. National banks are already at
a disadvantage with respect to state banks and
trust companies The Bryan-Wilson plan increases
these disadvantages.
If the bill is so modified as not to put an end to
the national banking system, if the danger of po-
litca control is eliminated and if some of the pro
visions regarding reserves modified as to be
practicable it may serve as an intermediate stage
between the present system and one capped by a
central banking or reserve institution. The need
of such an institution will be plainly apparent when
regional reserve institutions have been created.
