FIGHTS WASTE IN INFANT LIFE

For the last quarter OF century
Uncle Sam has been saying much ana
doing much for the conservation OF
the nations resources. But it has
only been in recent years that the
American baby has come to be consid-
cred one of these resources.
Now we have a children's bureau,
the purpose of which is to look after
the nations little folks, its chief prob
lem being infant mortality.
The chief of the children's bureau
is Miss Julia c. LathrOp, and she has
rs cOllabOratOrs several experts, who
head the various divisions of the of
fee. The head of the division Of
hygiene is DR.. Grace l.. Meigs, a very
capable young woman, graduate of
Bryn Mawr college and of Rush Med
ical college, University of Chicago,
who has also done postgraduate work
IN Berlin, Vienna and Budapest before
ace, pting her post in Washington.

LONG FOE OF AUTOCRACY

With some reason the reigning
governments of Europe for the last
fifty years have regarded Prince
Peter Alexeievitch KrOpOtkin as one
of the most dangerous foes to their es-
tablished institutions.
Yet since his melodramatic escape
from a Russian prison in 1876, this
rebel of the Russian aristOcracy has
never been an avenger, but always Il
martyr. Expelled from Switzerland,
imprisoned in France, he finally found
refuge in a London suburb. From
there he has scattered over the world
by peaceful methods the propaganda
Of anarchy, writing numerous books
and pamphlets, editing q paper called
Freedom, and by his personal life
proving his sincerity in all he taught.
Never has Prince Peter imposed
sacrifices upon others, but he has
made them himself. None has been
= more disinterested, none has loved
mankind more. Always he has lived

Denouncing Mayor Smith and others of
his Administration as responsible for the
delay In building the citys high-speed
transit lines. A. Merritt Taylor, former Di-
rector of City Transit was cheered by
thousands Of voters as he spoke at many
Town Meeting rallies last night
Mr.. Taylor addressed meetings In Frank
ford. Logan, South philadelphia and at
Second and Norris streets. The message
which he carried was entitled: Pirates
have attacked Philadelphia. They have
seized a majority in both chambers of Coun-
ellis and have filled them with their slaves
they have surrounded the Mayor"
He said the transit muddle in this city
was plainly up to the Mayor against whom
he launched a bitter denuncation for the
transit delay He said
Are you going to let the pirates get con.
troll OF two.thlrds Of the seats in both cham.

and thus throw the treasury doors wide
open to them and the Mayor?
II am a stanch Republican, but the con.

keep the prisoners so closely confined As
most prisoners are held here only until
they are tried, we see no reason why they
should not receive better treatment. They
have less liberty than the long-term prs-
oners In the Eastern Penitentiary
The board and superintendent are in
our opinion mistaken when they think they
are doing what Is best for the prisoners We
think that they are driving them deeper
into crime by this treatment The prisoners
should be treated like human beings and
not be confined like lot Of wild beasts
We therefore recommend that the prIs-
oners should receive 1t once enough to-
bacco to last each one week and the same
amount each week thereafter be exercised
forty minutes every day and the board and
superintendent be confined to cells, receive
the same treatment as the prisoners until
they are brought to their senses and then
they may be better fitted to run an inStitu-
tion of this kind If the board and
especially the superintendent hold their
position by political influence we think II Is
about time to stop this and appoint a board
and superintendent who will try TO uplift
the prisoners instead Of driving them deeper
into crime.
we therefore recommend that the board
and superintendent be removed at once
and men such as Messrs. McKenty (warden
of the Eastern Penitentiary) and Patterson
superintendent Of the House of Currec-
tion) be put in their places"
