Phone: We have got to have time to carefully study that plan for adoption of babies by bachelors, which Dr. Lois L. Wynekoop séems to have well under way at Chicago, When she pro- posed it at the National Congress of Mothers, at St. Louis, we were so rattled that we sort of dodged the issue, as it were. Now she announces at the Illinois congress that bachelors are actually stepping forward and asking for babies, and we think it wise for our readers to consider some facts bearing on the movement, ‘ Phere is no question but a baby is a. valuable possession: Affidavits without number can be secured to prove this, and, indeed, the fact has been generally admitted since very remote times some one dependent upon him, It broadens him and has a tendency to create an excuse for his being on earth. Econom ically considered, too, the fellow who is of, by and for him- self | ere we put the crux of the debate up to Soro- sis, Mothers’ Congress, or other body of wisdom or experience —-but, if a fellow can obtain the blessing of fatherhood and avoid the disadvantages of bachelorhood without marrying, will he not urage marriage? Can we afford to risk weakening that blessed institution, matrimony, in order to bring the father- less babe and the babeless father together? We leave the matter here. Ii Cynthia Grey is not too busy, maybe she'll help us out “LET us have peace in the Grand Old Party,” say the del- egates at Aberdeen. And the sound of knives on grindstones testifies that the peace movement is going forward by leaps and bounds. ~ | Three Songs | The brilliant, fashionably-clad audience roared an ovation to the great singer. She was unquestionably the best soprano in the world. The critic turned to his friend, the self-made millionaire, and said : “Did you ever hear any song more exquisitely rendere “Y said the rich man, musingly, ior he was touched by the magic of what he had heard. “Yes, I have heard three greater singers.” I want to know!" exclaimed the critic, “The first was years ago, The singer was plain of face and gray of hair and tired of body. There was much work to do and many little mouths to feed. I was the youngest child, sick and cross. And that dear singer crooned to me a lullaby and I slept. It was a wonderful song. “The next was years afterward It was summer and the windows and doors were open. My wife was in the kitchen preparing supper. She was singing something about her true love coming home to her. It was for me. And that, too, was a wonderful song “Some more years elapse. There is a little toddler in the garden and she sings hesitatingly something about daddy and his baby. “These Tetrazinni And the critic? Well, perhaps the critic agreed with him. MORE peace in the G.

Congress should take steps to this end at once. A bill has Blready been introduced. _ The disaster would not have happened if the radio telegraph system Bad been absolutely under control of the federal government. That is im. Commissioner Eugene T. Chamberlain of the bureau of navigation is offictally on record in faver of government ownership of wireless. In his last annual report Mr. Chamberiain sald in part: “In the Heht of experience {t is probable that, if we had now to _ Meet at the beginning the question of landtelegraph lines, the United States would have assumed the ownership and operation of them as Other nations have done. Our telegraph systems now represent an im . Mense investment end even if acquisition were deemed desirable, which is not here for a moment intimated, the cost to the treasury would very large. Commercially, the wireless systems are infants, Or example, with a nominal pital of hundreds of thousands, represents an actual investment of $30,000. The principal companies at the present time are engaged in expensive litigation over patent rights. That the companies are thus involved fs not a reason for taking advantage of weakness and dissension. It is, however, a contributory disclosure of the fact that the actual investments thus far made are small and not yet of agsured value.” leut. Com. D. W. Todd of the navy coast signal service has also Pronounced in favor of government ownership of all coast wireless Stations. In a pamphiet issued recently, he argued for government monopoly of wireless. Congressman Victor Berger has been quick to see the logle of the situation and as usual is even cker than his colleagues to take ad Vantage of the opportunity to speak for a good reform LRT ER ais - IN THE EDITOR’S MAIL Editor The Star: There's been alevery good deal of talk lately about “Swat the fly,” and of course I think it is a mighty good thing, but I am aiso certain that vigorous and conacien tious “swatting” by every man, wo man and child In Seattle will not do resident and visitor, The The piles of scraps, the dishwater, the milk cans and the old meat would turn the stomach of a wooden | Indian and bring joy to millions of | fltes, very much good unless there is ALBERT M.
