HOUSE PASSES |. R. &
 M. HIGHWAY BILL

Little Rock, March After the most spectacular parliament tary fight of the sesson, t h e House Friday afternoon passed by a vote of 69 to 9, the Senate bill by Harris for the construc- ton of Little Rock and Mem phls highway. The proposed road passes through the counties ot Pulaski, Lonoke, Monroe and St. Francis, and commissioner Is named for each county, It is provided that Pulaski county shall contribute S75,O0O toward the cost of the road, and that the people are to have a right to vote whether they want it or not.
 The fight on the bill was led by MT. Began of Johnson, Mr. Pat terson of Woodruff, and Mr. Jackson of Randolph, whose counties are not affected by the district, and who offered amend. ments which the friends of the bill would have the effect of kill ing it. There is not sufficient time left in which to consider and adopt the amendments in the Senate. they asserted. Mr. Lane and MT. Kidder bear the brunt of defense, charging that Mr. Ragon was actuated by spite be- cause his Little Rock Fort Smith highway bill was defeated Mon. day night by an amendment of fered by MT. Martin of Pulaski. Mir. Ragon retorted that he was actuated by only the purest mo- tives, and he proceeded to score Little Rocks representatives roundly, to which MT. Kidder responded in kind. It was tur bulent and tempestuous scene that was presented on the floor for couple of hours, and it re- quired the utmost tirmness of the irOn-m man who yields the ga vel to restore a Semblence of or der.
 All amendments were voted down and the bill was then passed.
 The House also passed Senate bills fixing tax of 1 1-2 per cent on the gross premiums of life and fire insurance companies in lieu of the 12 per cent on the net as at present. There was hard fight on the fire insurance bill, as it prescribes a tax of , per cent on inter-inSurance pOli cies carried by cotton dealers, lumbermen and other industries

 Against Reduction.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Fear that for eign producers would invade and in- jure the American market were ex- pressed today in the testimony on the metal schedule of the tariff before the house committee on ways and means The committee heard arguments from representatives of manufacturing and producing nterests-printing presses the zinc industry of the Rocky Noun tais, and the Joplin fields, the wooden screw manufacturers, of which the American Screw company controlled 4O or 45 per cent, and the 0,000. 900 out put of machine tools and mum nerous other prod dacts-pres a virtually solid front against revision of the pres ent tariff rates
 Keep on the tariff as it stands. or it will work 2 hardship to American in dustry," was the consensus of the sen tinent of witnesses, all under oath, prescribed by the chairman
 Henry D. Sharpe of Providence, rep sasenting the Brown & Sharpe com pany, whose machine tool products alone aggregate $3.000,000 a year, was subjected to a long examination.

Among attorneys and others of those in the superior court here on Friday there was growing sentiment that the Mystic men implicated in scandalous cases through the testimony Of boys and girls of that village might now be expected to avoid trial by agreeing to confess on such terms as their coun- sel could secure with the states attor- ney, since the conviction of Alfred Baker in the first of the Mystic cases tried.
 Baker was found guilty on three counts on Thursday but no motion for day was spent almost entirely in con- ferenceS between States Attorney Hull and others upon the cases coming be- fore this term of court.
 Niereili Changed His Plea.
 Leroy Morgan of this city. Santos Gardner of Voiuntown all occupied places-in the prisoners pen all day, and Nigrelli's case was disposed of as the concluding business of the day. About A45 States Attorney Hull came from his room and Nigreli was presented before the court. He had previously pleaded not guilty to rape on Josephine Spadero, but he now changed his plea to guilty of statutory rape.
 Speaking for Nigrelli. Attorney R. F. Freeman said that the circumstances as be had examined into them seemed to point strongly towards the guilt of the accused, although the accused had protested his innocence to him. Attor- ney Freeman reviewed some of the cir s-urnstances in the case. The girl, Josephine Spadero. was under the age of IS when the alleged acts were com mitted, and the attorney argued that there was a strong presumption that such acts were with her consent, but that her mental developne ent was not enough to know really what she was doing. The accused could not foresee Al uA 1n -tst 4 tR Ua41f AZ en the girl strang1ing her baby in the aospftai The man Is the father of family of seven in Italy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
What Socialists Stand For.

MT. Editor: In your. issue of the 7th inst in reporting the doings at Corporation Counsel Joseph T. Tan ming as saying. "He outlined in an i'm
 pressiye way, some of the great moral and political questions which
 men of the coming days are to be called upon to settle, including social ism. which he charged was openly at war with the church and with the Sacredness of the marriage covenant Now We cannot allow such a state ment to go unchallenged. Either the speaker has a false conception of socialism or has an object in mis- representing the movement
 The socialist party is an economic, political, not a religious organization. It does not concern itself with the re- llgious or non-religious beliefs of it's members, It recognizes the perfect right of each member to his inde- pendent religious opinions. It in no way assumes to say what a members s religious opinions shall be. While members may be religious or nonre- Hgious, Catholic or anG-Catholic and while the organization as a whole takes no stand with regard to religious be- nefs, yet if the Catholic church or any other church presumes to enter into economic political criticisms of So- cialism or presumes to dictate to it's members what their attitude toward socialism shall be it must in turn ex-
 pect to be criticised. Any church which presunles to organize societies to in Huence political or economic actions must expect opposition. not alone from the outside. but to arouse discontent and alienation among it's own members. It cannot presume to dictate a policy without working against the interest of some of it's members.
 In regard to marriage, we perhaps cannot do better than to quote what Robert Hunter says in Socialists at Work, D. 195. Tt is sometimes said that socialism will destroy the home and some of ifs opponents have been unscrupulous enough to attack social ists as advocates of free love In answer to such accusations perhaps nothing could be more conclusive than what the socialists actually do when they come into power. It is known that iIlegitinaacy is common in France, especially among the poorest people To what extent it is due to poverty, and to the inability of the poorest workman to pay fees for the marriage service is not known: but when the socialists came into control of the city of Lille they esta ablished a free mar riage service the fees to the pastor being paid directly by the municipal ity. Thousands of marriages have been sanctioned under this new act and a great mum Der of children who would have otherwise been classed as illegitimate have been legalized.

is sufficient to answer the other &C., cusation.
 It is theory that socialism well de- stroy the home; it is a fact that fo1 millions of the poor capitalism has de- stroyed the home. Go through any great center of industry, and see the mothers who are forced to give their children to the. streets and themselves to the factory. Literally speaking, mill lions of women, how many with chill dren one cannot say, leave their homes at dawn and return to them only al nightfaI. Some of them hardly have time to give birth to their children be- fore they are called back to the mills
 Can anyone believe that when the mothers and fathers rise in the morn ing before dawn, and leave their chti- dren to the care of an older child or upon the streets, and go themselves to toll for ten. twelve or fourteen hours in the factory, they are without feeling in the matter? Is that is the impres- sion, the pathetic efforts of these French Workfngmen when they come into power are a. sufficient answer.
 Amid the greatest imaginable diff culties they strive to retrieve some thing of the social advantages lost to them through the industrial revolution. They establish public kitchens so that soups, meats and vegetables can be from their work. They establish crechs fnurseries) for. the babies of working mothers.
 The cantine scolaire, or school res taurant. is but another effort to estab- fish in some manner the social inStftu- tions lost by the destruction of the home. So long as the present system lasts, or at least so long as socialists remain in the minority, it is impossible for them to free from toll the mothers of their children. But they can save the babies from neglect, the children from the streets, and all from actual hunger. There are but few wprkmen who would not, if they could, destroy all the creches and cantines scolaires time they could re-establish the home and give back to the babies their mothers. This, however, being impos- sible, it will be curious and perhaps interesting fact to the prosperous classes that, among the first things to which the socialists turn their atten- ton T.len they become charged with the responsibility of municipal govern ment, are these very problems of the family and the home"
