JACKSON HOLDS UNTIL MARCH 4.

Maryland election of a United States
Senator will precipitate a warm contro-
versy in Washington if the successful
candidate expects to take his seat at the
regular session in December.
According to Senator Kern, chairman
of the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, the next Senator form Mary
land cannot take his seat before March
4. According to others who hope that
Blair Lee Will be successful and feel
that Wilson Democrats will need all the
votes possible, the amendment provid-

will permit the new Senator to take his
seat as soon as his election is certified
to by the State of Maryland.

PROPERTY VERSUS LIFE.

To the legal mind, apparently, the
right of property have always seemed of
more Importance than human life.
For hundreds of years it was possible
for man brutally to maltreat his child
with less legal risk than if he had
poached hare. Gradually human life
became more valuable; but even to-
day it fails to receive the protection
that is accorded to property. 1t is no
uncommon thing to find reported in
British newspapers cases in which a
drunken navy has kicked and other
wise abused his wife, to receive no
greater punishment at the hands of the
law than paltry fine, while the I'M
happy wight who, driven by hunger,
steals loaf, is sent to prison. Nor do
we need to go oversee to find such in
stances of the worship of property. An
excellent illustration of the workings of
the legal mind in problems of this kind
is to be found in a study of ten Notices
of Judgment issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture and
giving in detail the of ten violations of
the Food and Drugs Act. These ten
cases deal with charges brought
againts the firm of Hawley and Hoops,
| New York. who are in the candy
business. Hawley and Hoops sell what
is known as penny goods that is,
the kind of candy purchased by the
lite tot who has been given penny to
spend Ten different specimens of
Hawley and Hoops penny goods were
seized by the officials of the Bureau of
Chemistry and analysed. All of them
were found to be adulterated with
arsenic and most of them contained
shellac All of them were being sold
as chocolate candies. vet the officers
reported that some did not even have
the predominating flavor of chocolate.
In every case the firm pleaded guilty.
In nine out of ten cases no penalty was
imposed, the court suspending Judge
ment. In the tenth case fine of $50
was imposed. The case in which a
fine was imposed was the one, and the
only one. in which the company had
not merely sold poisonous product to
little children; but had misstated the
net weight of the package in which
the arsenic-containing candies came!
Selling to little children as chocolate
candy, a mixture containing arsenic
and shellac is, apparently, in the eyes
of the law. a trivial offence. But
selling to a dealer a package marke1
five pounds that really contained only
four pounds fourteen and tive-eights
ounces, that is crime.

LIMITING PARENTHOOD.

The suggestion made by DIR. Woods
Hutchinson, to have the state segregate
the physically. mentally and morrlly
defective, with the view of makigg it
impossible for them to reproduce their
kind, was anticipated about two weeks
ago by Sir James Barr in his address
before the University Sociological
Society IN Sheffield He said that if
the governments throughout the world
would only stop the reproduction of the
unfit, the fit would then be able to look
after themselves, and the selective
evolution of the race would go on
rapidly.
In his opinion it is no longer a
question of the survival of the fittest.
The Industrious, independent, hard
working man who was taxed to sup
port the loafer. wastrel, pauper,
criminal and the progeny of the de-
generate did not live to exc out an ex-
istence with an old-age pension. 1t
was the miserable degenerate who
assisted by charity from the cradle to
the grave, often survived the longest
The degenerates not only survive,
but, as is well known, are more pro-
life than the intellectuals.
Recently" he continued, "a feeble
minded act was placed on the statute
books, which seemed to be about the
highest flight in the eugenic movement
which the House of Commons was
capable of taking. 1t would deal with
the idiot, the imbecile and the lowest
type of the teeble-mlnded, all of whom
were too degenerate to be prolific, but
1t would leave untouched the higher
types of the feeble-minded. ="
1t is firm belief with him that it is
entirely question for society to
determine what are to be the imita-
tons of parenthood While it may not

PARCELS POST BEING SWAMPED.
Business Increasing Away Beyond
Original Predictions.

Congressman David J. Lewis. the
father of the parcel post, has estimated
that POO, 600, 900 packages will be carried
during the first year. Mr.. Rooms chair
man of the parcel post commission,
said he has told Mr.. Lewis that he will
have to revamp his guess, for the
amount of business, according to present
indications, will exceed that figure. 1t
is estimated by some of the postal
experts that the total revenue from
parcel post for its first year will reach
$lO,0O0,O0O. None of the experts at the
present time, in view of the big increase
in the traffic, care to hazard just what
amount of business will be done.
Here is an illustration of the growth
of the parcel post traffic in New York
In January the parcel post carried
1900, 900 packages out of the city. In
August. before the fall season got I'M
der full sway, 8,0OO,00 packages were
handled That is a gain of 1000, 600
packages.
When the new system was inaugural
ed last year, the merchants did not
utilize it for their shipments out of
town. 1t was new to them, and they
didn't know how it would work. This
fall, however. the merchants are flock
ing to the parcel post to handle their
out-of-town business. They are be-
ginning torealize its possibilities. They
have found out that its rate is much
cheaper than the old express rate.

amazed at the accuracy of RuSsell's APP,

to admit that he does not know and can
not read the Greek. Does I. P. c. fur

yelled Three cheers for and then
swinging his hat above his head gave
three lusty cheers. Calmly putting his
hat on he said: There, now, that set
ties it, and walked off in the confidence
that he had settled it.
T. p. seems to think that the exposing
of his favorite ism and speaking the
truth concerning it and its author is a
slanderous method of prosecution. He
attributes it to fear lest the clear pre-
sentation of Russell discredit them,
blind leaders of the blind, leading into
the ditch of confusion and unbelief.

are a tissue of falsehoods; he is thor
oughly unreliable, loving and making
lies. Financially responsible, suit
a suit for damages would neither punish
him nor stop him from lying" The in
ference is, that if Ross had money he

he has dollar or million dollars, would
be the same provided Mr. K. gained it.
1t would vindicate him. But Russell
sued him and lost his suit, or failed
utterly to make his point. Why didn' t
he send him to prison? Can he prove
his statement that Ross has wrecked
three of the principal Baptist churches
of Canada in one year? He ought to
have given reliable testimony to that
effect, for the statement of man who
on the witness stand claimed to be a

FIRST. LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER
(BY DAVID BELASCO.

BY DAVID bELASOO.j
David Belasco, manager of the Belasco
Theatre, New York, has written one of
the most beautiful essays that has been
circulated for some time "a real classic,
in the opinion of discerning people.
First Listen to Your Mother" will be
read by young and old, by the youthful
with profit, but by the older ones with
more than pleasure, as they read the
truth within the lines.
First, listen to your mother. did.
| had beautiful mother. Every well
regulated boy thinks his mother beauti-
full, and he should. But have memories
of my opinion being corroborated by
others. She was brave as well as
beautiful, for she was the first white
woman that ever crossed the Isthmus
of Panama on muleback. | was born at
the end Of that long and painful journey
from England to San Francisco, in a
cabin on the floors of which the water
stood foot deep.
There is no question in my mind that
the stories my mother told me turned
my thoughts to the stage She was
sensitive and imaginative and had a
power of telling story so that the
characters lived before the eyes. She
used to hold me on her knee at twilight
and as some mothers sing their children
to sleep she told me stories until the
sandman came. So impressed was by
these stories that | fitted up little
stage in the cellar with sheet for a
drop curtain and acted them in plays,
taking all the different characters my
self. So listen to your mother. She
has message for you. perhaps many
messages, and whether they are
practical or romantic, they are valuable
to you because they are inspired by the
half divine qualities of mother love,
mother faith. and mother hope.
Always look higher than your env iron
ment. While l carried spear dream
ed of being a manager. Don't allow
yourself to be unhappy in it but
determine to grow out of it. For a
strong desire for some thing, and a
willingness to work hard for it, brings
that thing to pass in our lives. We
make our own dreams come true. The
dreams of the boy become the actuali-
ties IN the life of the man. Before
deeds, dreams. So don't become
discouraged if the family and the
neighbors tell you yon are a good-for-
nothing dreamer of dreams. The
builder of the tunnel under the Hudson
River was rated as a good for nothing
boy because he was a dreamer. But
don't be lazy dreamer. Work out
your dreams to their fulfillment.
You will fall in love many times while
you are growing up and growing into
the state of real affection. But the true
love of your life, the unchanging one,
is love of your work. No one ever
succeeded who did his work in a spirit
of drudgery. Crave it as you crave
food long for it as you long for sleep
after sleepless night cleate to it as
you cleave to life Love it without
stint. Remain in love with it and it
will reward yon as love rewards you,
with surprising sweetness.

come parent. it is assuredly advise
able, he thinks, to determine who was
not to become parent. The arguments
of Sir James sounds plausible enough.
Those who reproduce the physically
and mentally unfit would seem to
commit crime againts society. The
only objection is, as DR.. Felix Alder
