French Intends Extradition Treaties
Shall Cover White Slave Crimes.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 30-The
attention of Representative Burton L.
French has been called to the pitt
able case of a little girl Of thirteen
years who has apparently beon made
a. victim Of the white slave practice
and in which the party or parties re-
sponsible for the crime have taken
the unfortunate girl into Canada.
= The act itself is apparently clearly
within theprovisions Of the white slave
law and were the parties responsible
for the crime within the United State
they would be amenable to tho law, as
Stunning that the facts are as alleged.
The crime itself is extraditable as
an offense against the laws Of the
State but If the offense were also ex-
traditable under the Mann Act, the
Federal Government would have an
additional interest in the prosecution.
Mr.. French has taken up the mat
ter with the State Department and
the Department is making inquiries
through it's representatives In foreign
countries to determine the extent of
the violation of the law, but as the
laws on this subject are of such re-
cent enactment, the extradition trea-
ties do not recognize crime commit
ted under them and for extradition
the officers of the several states must
rely upon violation of State laws.
Mr.. French believes that the scope
of the extradition treaties should be
broadened and has introduced a re-
solution directing the Secretary OF
State to undertake negotiations at
ence with all foreign countries look
Ing to the making Of this crime ex.
traditable and it is believed that our
own Government as well as foreign
countries cannot fail to recognize the
wisdom of this course when their
attention has been called to it.

Maine Bull Mooserrs Going Back To
Republican Party


The result Of the Congressional cleo
ton in the third district in Maine is
most significant andwill doubtless have
a far reaching effect upon the for
tunes Of the Progressive party. 1t is
remarkable that in the special elec.-
ton on Monday over thousand more
votes were cast than in the Presiden
tial election last November. In No
vember last, the Progressive party
10000 votes in this District for Mr..
Roosevelt while the candidate of the
Progressive party for Congress on
Monday received but 5000, The De-
mocratic candidate received nearly a
thousand less votes than was received
by the Democratic candidate for Con.
gress last year. The Washington Star

"a FoIIette's Vote Not Surprise
At Capitol

Washington, D. G., Sept. 20. =
Senator La Follette's vote on the
tariff bill is no surprise to those who
have been familiar with political de-
velopments in Washington during tho
last few months. 1t has been the talk
of Washington for the last two months
that Col: Roosevelt has lost hopes Of
building up q third party. His closest
friends both in the third patty and
his old friends among the Republican
progressives have been apparently paw
ing the way to make him the candi-
date of the reunited Republican party.
His refusal to attend the anniversary
of tho third party at Chicago and his
failure to send even message OF
encouragement seemed to confirm
previous rumors. Since these rumors
have been prevalent, La Toilette has
zen giving every indication CT Joining
forces with Mr.. Wilson. La Toilette
hatred for Roosevelt amounts to an
obsession and he will support Wilson
or join the Democratic party if neces-
sary to Illustrate Roosevelt's plan
to become president again. No one
here, therefore, was surprised when
La Toilette took his first STOP in vot-
ing for the bill, Notwithstanding he
had few days ago denounced it as
unfair to the producers, denounced
the caucus method in which it was
framed and only few hours before
he voted for it, voted to postpone its
operation until after another election.

Now that the tariff bill has passed
the Senate there will be lull in the
proceedings, except for the work in tn
Committees, for the next three or
four weeks. The Senate will meet and
adjourn every three days simply to
comply with the rules, but no real
business will be transacted until about
October LIST. This will enable the
Senators who are not on the Con-
ference Committee, and the Banking
and Currency Committee, to return
to their homes for a short time, and
many of the Senators are taking adj
vantage of the opportunity.

THE PATH THE CALF MADE.
(By George Sherman.)
One day through the primeval woods,
A calf walked home, as good calves
should;
But made a trail all. bent askew,
A crossed trail, as all calves do.
Since then two hundred years have
fled,
And infer the calf is dead;
But still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs my moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
By a lone dog that passed that way;
And then a wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind him, too,
AS good bell-wethers always do.
And from that day DER hill and glade,
Through those old woods a path was
made;
And many men wound in and out,
And lodged and turned, and ben;
about,
And uttered words of righteous wrath
Because twas such a crooked path
But still they followed-do not laugh
The first migration of that calf,
And through this winding woodwaS
! stalked,
Because he wabbled when he walked
This forest path became lane,
That bent, and turned and turned
again:
This crooked lane became a road,
Where many a poor horse with hi
load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And travelled some three miles in one
And thus a century and a half
! They trod in the footsteps of that cali
The years passed on in swiftness fleet
The road became village street;
And this before men were aware,
A city's crowded thoroughfare;
And soon the central street was thi
OF a renowned metropolis.
And men two centuries and half
Tro6 in the footsteps of that calf.
