Wanted -- More Babies
(St. Paul News.)

The desire to give their children
an education has caused many par
ents to limit their families.
AS an answer to the demands for
more babies, the workingman Of Ger
many is demanding a conservation of
humanity. .
He wants better housing conditions
and more food; better sanitation in
factories and public education; better
wages and a chance to raise his chill
dren to usefulness, unhampered by the
privations and tragedies of poverty.
That the cry for more babies comes
from those who rule is significant, for
it definitely places real values.
The most valuable gift to a nation
comes from the mothers. Useless are
the miles. valueless are the whirline
wheels Of workshops, tinsel are the
stores of gold unless there come the
gifts Of humanity from those beds Of
pain which replenish and keep alive
the world.
The only real values are human
values. The greatest word in any
language is mother"

The stocks Of these various companies have been over-manip-
}ulated. The watering process has become a scandal, The men en-
gagged in the scheming are fnanciers of repute in the country. They
knew what they were doing and they knew why they were doing it.
Their present predicament, if such it may be termed, may be ascribed
to the fact that they were caught at 1t.
The chief point Of difference between the railroad stock water
ing and the steel trust watering appears to lie in the fact that the
steel trust made good-ino other words, it got away with the spohs.
It managed to maintain its credit, despite the quantities of water
infected into the corporation. Mr.. Carnegie, for instance, has been
very liberal with his donations for libraries and for educational
purposes, but as yet he has scarcely unoaded the water represented
in the steel trust bonds which fell to his lot when his steel works
merged into the present trust.
The. chief distinction seems to be that the railroads are regarded
as common carriers, or servants of the people, within certain limita-
tons, whereas the steel trust is private mercantile concern. While
iron and steel are just as necessary in the commerciaism of the day
as are railroads, we appear to exercise the power to determine what
The railroads shall charge for handling the public business while
we permit the steel trust to fix its own prices, water or no water.
And this distinction without a material difference constitutes
one of the problems that confronts the country with respect to cor
porahons. The fixing of the lne-the point up to which the govern
ment shall exercise the functions of control-wll be found to be a
severe tax upon the business intellect of the country.
Whether it be Woodrow Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt, or some other
man at the head of the affairs of state, the problem is one that in

THE BOOSTER" SPIRIT.

The booster spirit is commendable. No community would
continue to prosper were there no boosting in connection with it.
The booster is almost as necessary in the development of a country
or a city as is the country or city itself,
But, of course, there must be something to boost-something
that a part of the people may be fooled all of the time, and all of
the people part of the time, but that it is impossible to fool all Of the
people all of the time.
While this observation applied especially to politics at the time
it was made, it applies with equal force to business affairs. 1t ap-
Plies to boosting as well as to any other phase of human activity
It is infinitely better not to boost a thing that does not give
prospect Of meeting the expectations Of those likely to become in
terested IN it,
A few instances might be cited not a thousand miles from Wa
tertown where the boosting-the over-boosting, if you please-has
wrought infinitely more harm than good; instances wherein, through
this so-called spirit of boosting, men have been led to invest in losing
ventures
1t is true, of course, that there is more or less risk in all bust
ness undertakings, and it is also true that men endowed with the
keenest Judgment occasionally err, or that, owing to unforeseen con-
tgencies, failures have resulted, but such cases as these involve
only the usual business risks.
Every man should stand by his country, and his particular sec
ton of country, but he is never justified in standing by it to the
prospective settlers or investors. A reaction is bound to follow
overboosting, whether applied to city or country.
Let the booster spirit be manifest upon all occasions, but let it
De kept within proper limitations. When conditions are not what
they should be, the really good booster will frankly admit it When
crops are bad he will say So When something goes wrong he will
not seek to cover it up. He's the kind of booster whose boosting
counts when boosting is really needed, and when it will subservc
some good purpose.

PRESIDENT AND SENATE.

Whether, under the spirit Of the constitution, the president is
justified IN attempting to force the approval Of the senate to certain
nominations made by the chief executive is a matter that is open to
serious question.
True, it occurs now and then that the senate is actuated by par
tisan or fractional motives. In such event the president would seem
TO have justice and equity on his side when he undertakes to eomnel
the senator's TO bow to his will.
On the other hand, a president may be as prone to err a a sen.
