Christ's Estimate of Childhood.
The Master rebuked His disciples

faith by pointing out the child 10 be
the greatest in the kingdom because of
its service. spirituality and sacrifice OF
self Jesus was the first to teach the
world the possibility of the child. The
child which in the thought Of men is
the least is the greatest in the reign OF
God. We a nation have been in the
habit OF placing other interests ahead OF
the child. for we have only recently in
the newly organized child bureau COM
menced to consider the conservation
of the child.
Jesus placed the child first because

education greater results can be OBJ

When Jesus took a child and placed
it in the midst of the apostolic band

eminent places He placed before every
succeeding generation the problem of
the proper training of the child.

courts states that he finds the reason
for children going astray in most cases
to be that the parents have fallen
away from regular church attendance,

tewan Asylum.
Washington, Dec. 2l.- Harry K.
Thaw's long fight to avoid extradi-
ton to New York from New Hamp-
shire, where he is now in custody,
has ended in failure. The Supreme
Court of the United Stated decided
today that the extradition proceedings
which New York instituted to bring
about his return, are valid and that
legal proceedings in the Federal
courts to prevent his return must no
longer stand in the way.
The writ of habeas corpus granted
him by Federal Judge Aldrich of
New Hampshire was dismissed.
"We regard it as too clear for
lengthy discussion that Thaw should
be delivered up at once" !" was the
concluding sentence of the courts
opinion.
The mandate of the court becomes
effective at the end of sixty days.
The New York authorities may eth
er put him on trial for conspiring
with others for escape from the Mat
teawan Insane Asylum, or they may
peremptorily place him in the asylum
itself. Under the decision Of the
court their choice is open to them.

Dry Resolution Up In House
Tuesday.

Washington, D. C. Dec. 2O.-Chief
interest in Congress this week centers
on the vote in the House Tuesday on
the rule to take up the Hobson reso-
luton for submission to the States of
4 constitutional amendment for ma
tional prohibition.
Although it had been proposed to
vote also before the holiday recess on
rule for a woman's suffrage consti-
futional amendment, administration
leaders tonight predicted that there
would not be opportunity toreach the
suffrage amendment until after the
recess.
House leaders say the prohibition
resolution will not receive the re-
quired two. thirds majority vote. In
that case Senator Sheppard of Texas
later in the session will endeavor to
press vote on a similar resolution
which he introduced at the last ses-
sion.
Another effort will be made to-mor-
row in the House to get a vote on
Representative Levers bill to pro-
vide Government licensing of cotton
warehouses.
In the Senate the immigration bill
remains as the unfinished business
and there is little prospect that the
bill will be disposed Of until after the
holidays. Amendments to the literacy
test section introduced by. Senators
Thomas and Williams will be dis
cussed in all proability until Congress
recesses on Wednesday.
