Baseball is being invaded and quiet

game. During the last four seasons
the Frenchmen have been calmly NOV

many little leagues. there are more Of
them than there are either Irish or
Germans. These fellows are stalwar;,

good batters. good mechanical felders,

small salaries.

Most of us who have come in touch
with charity organizations as at pres

they are demoralizing to both the

But on one issue 1 differ from the

Mrs. Goodman were most pertinent.
why do you have babies? What
right have you to have babies?'
Mrs. Goodman is nervous wreck
Mr.. Goodman victim of tubercu-

and four helpless children, supported
by others, and a fifth baby expected!
I'll admit the injustice of their
having to depend on others when all
they ask is the chance to work The
strongest Indictment of such con-
dition will have my support, but this
is situation they find themselves
in, situation that has not come
upon them suddenly.
Handicapped by hideous poverty,
disease, indescribable misery and
wretchedness; they expect another

heritabe for their child, before and
after birth. Poor little innocent VIC

of a crime and l too say to Mrs. Good
man: What right have you to have
this baby?"
1 believe in a child's inalenable
right to be well born. believe that
women must take the stand of re-
fusing to bear children except un-
der the most favorable conditions
that goth century civilization can
create.
Many modern women are doing
this. In spite of criticism and con-
demnation they are freeing them
selves of the old social and religious
dogmas that made women virtually
slaves. These dogmas have mill

4 decision Just handed down by the
Court Of Appeals In the case OF Ros-
anna Bachelor against Eugene T.. and
Terry Hinkle gives pertinence to these
observations. This case was begun In
the Supreme Court of New York county
in September, 1908, and has been three
times tried in that court, three times on
appeal TO the Appellate Division and is
now only, more than five years after its
beginning. finally adjudicated in the
court of last resort. II Is significant
also that the decisions of the three
Supreme Court Justices, wherever they
were free to act. were at all points sus-
tanned by the Court of Appeals, while
the three rulings of the Appellate Di-
vision were overruled.
In the summer of 1905 Mrs Bachelor
| owner OF 26 West Twenty-sixth street
