Protect the Children , IMMEDIATE registration of all births, enforced through adequate laws strictly enforced, is urged by the new children's bureau in the department of commerce and labor, which is directed hy Miss Julia C. Lathrop, long a national figure in work for bettering the living and working conditions of childhood. In her re port, Miss Lathrop points out that in not a 'single one of the 48 states are alt births recorded, and that only eight states receive a report of even nine out of ten hirths. Some states rate as low as 25 or 50 percent of births officially registered within reasonable time. Three hundred thousand babies die every year in the United States, nearly 1000 a day, and at least half these babies could be carried through the years of infancy in safety if well known scientific and practical methods were applied. The first requisite, declares Miss Lathrop, is immediate report of all births' to proper health authorities, so that in every case where competent medical aid is not already attending, the public authorities and organized charities may be able to render the necessary assistance. In England, authorities report that no other expedient has been so effective in reducing infant mortality as the strict enforcement of the law requiring immediate registration of all births. Miss Lathrop points out further that hundreds of thousands of children grow up in America without having any correct register of their birth date and parentage. This makes it particularly hard to enforce child labor laws and com pulsory education laws. Absence of authentic records also makes it difficult in many cases to enforce the laws for the protection of minors, especially young girls, who, under the barbarous "age of consent" laws still prevailing in most states, are exposed to fearful wrongs at an age when they should be under strict guardian ship of home or state, or of both. Further, an official record of birth is often re quried in legal proceedings involving estates and life insurance, and many an heir to a poor pittance has been deprived of his own by the absence of such records. The national children's bureau proposes a model law for birth registration. It should be adopted and enforced by every state and local community. Reforming Court Procedure HIGHER courts of Oklahoma have not seldom blazed the way for reform of court procedure. The Oklahoma supreme and appellate courts have en riched the American books of court precedent and procedure by numerous wise and farsighted decisions, but none" has ever exceeded in incisive completeness this from a. late decision of the criminal appellate court of that state: 'Judges and lawyers-have been educated In and are accustomed to an anti quated system of procedure, and have been taught to look vfith reverence upon old legal theories, and are thereby unduly biased against any change in legal procedure. The result is that, even -when the legislatures attempt to reform legal procedure, many courts and lawyers are disposed to construe such legisla tion in the light of their preconceived Ideas. "While this court respects the wisdom of "the past, and can see much in It to admire and to follow, yet we also believe that the world should be ruled by the living, and not by the dead; that the law should keep even step with the march of civilization and the necessities of society In the relation of its mem bers to each other. "This court does not purpose to grope Its way through the accumulated dust, cobwebs, shadows, and darkness of the evening of the common-law rules of procedure, but it will be guided by the increasing light and Inspiration of the rising sun of reason, justice, common sense, and progress." The same court, by the way, recently expressly repudiated the old theory that circumstantial evidence must be regarded as a' "chain of many links," which would be destroyed by the failure of a single link. The Oklahoma court keenly outlined a new, and far more plausible conception of circumstantial evidence, de claring that it should be regarded as a "cable of many strands," which might fail as to certain particular strands and yet be fully adeqaate to sustain weight. 0 A very large proportion of the "rise in the cost of living" is accounted for by the abandonment of the old market basket shopping system for the new and. costly telephone and delivery system. I How Babylon Did It EGTJLATION of public carriers, their new thing. About 2250 years before over Babylon. He 'established a have found statutes denning the duties and responsibilities of express companies, fixing maximum rates for the rental of oxen and draft animals, for the rental of sailboats and rowboats, for the rental of wagons, and for the rental of "asses for threshing grain." The supreme court of Georgia cites the ancient law code in its decision in a recent common carrier case. The supreme court of Tennessee has refused to reverse a criminal case on an "error which does not touch the merits of the case." Such wisdom is still rare enough to justify special mention. El Paso offers no inducements to any man to stay here she doesn't have to. o That signature list of El Pasoans on the petition to buy Jefferson's home Mon tacello in Virginia for the people of the United States to be set aside as a national monument, would make up a very substantial portion of the local tax list Millions of assessed valuation were represented in the list The El Paso list is only one of many hundreds of petitions numerously signed, that have gone to congress. o One compensation for president Taft in retiring from office he will escape the banquets. Why Not A 2 1 STJbtrEbTIOflS of a new 3c piece do not interest the west, but a new coin of) 2 l-2c a quarter of a dime, half a nickel, a tenth of a quarter would be a mighty useful coin and would help greatly to clip the cost of living, without curtailing merchants' profits in the long run. Why not start a movement in favor of the 2 l-2c piece? El Paso might do worse than give her name and prestige to the movement "A whole lot of littlo things that people buy every day would at once go down from a nickel to half a nickel, but trade in these things would increase to an extent to make the merchants as much profit as now on a day's business. How quickly some reformers dodge for cover when somebody rises to urge pro hibiting playing bridge whist for valuable prizes. o France has a president who challenged his antagonist to a duel as soon as he was elected. But the. duel never came off. Wherein this episode differs from that recently witnessed in the United States, wherein the president of the United States and a distinguished ex-president fought all over the map for several months and never did close the feud. One-Sentence POINTED PARAGRAPHS. (Chicago News ) It doesn't take a very strong woman to break a man. All things are to be sneezed at whtn one is taking cold. Brer notice how many friends you have when they need you? If you find a bad habit growing on you, be a man and cut It out. When you feel a cranky spell com ing on, go out and hunt a grindstone. Many a woman has fouBd her wid owhood so bad that she refused to keep it. ... . . The best capital for a man to begin life on is a capital wife. So says a woman. , If a woman faasn t anything else to worry her, she can claim that her hair is coming out by the handful. When a man celebrates the anni versary of his birth he takes a day off; a woman usually takes a year off. OUAKER MEDITATIONS. (Philadelphia Record.)

Hypocrisy By GEORGE: FITCH, Author of "At Good Old Slvrash.? ORIGINALLY hypocrisy was - the science of preaching one thinjj loudly and doing another m an eminently stealthy manner. Thre were a great many hypocrites in the world 1900 vears ago, and they werj all flourishing until one day they got put together and described by a rys terious itinerant preacher with such con suming eloquence that they have been unpopular ever since. Hypocrisy in late years has been bor rowed as a weapon bv the opponents of reform and its definition has been changed. Xowadays a hypocrite is a man who demand sthat something shall be changed for the better. It is very easy to prove that such a man is a hypocrite. If he demands that the rascals shall be thrown out he is a "holier than thou" sort of a chap. And yet it .can be easily proven that three years ago he took a drink. This makes him a hypocrite and very naturally proves that people should have nothing to do with his reforms. The word "hypocrite" is now the chief defence of the man who desn't want moral conditions improved. He will ad mit that they could be improved, but he insists that the movement shall be led by a perfect man. If he isn't perfect he is a hypocrite for denouncing vice. Thus vice reigns supreme, slightly rum pled, but wholly vindicated, and the men who cry out against vice have thi bony finger of public scorn bore dthrough them for their shocking hypocrisy. According to the new dispensation, every man who tries to live correctly is a hypocrite because Sometimes he fails. Virtue is hypocrisy because it isn't as pood as it tries to be. The man who yells lor the entorcement of the laws is a de sP'cable creaturfe because most likely he is breaking some laws himself. Therefore, we have only one virtue left vice. Vice is honest, frank and unashamed and should be honored for it. And the lawbreaker who calmly orj claims the fact and then buys the jury in a broad-minded and public manner, Daving spot cash and not cheating any body is our only true nobleman. Hypocrisy is the curse of the nation, and will be until we learn not to Le afraid of it. Copyrighted by George Matthew Adams. Dark Djays Dy Walt Mnon.

At Old Fort Selden on the Rio Grande, 17 miles rorth of Las Cruces, N. 31. and 60 miles north of El Paso, hot mineral springs Durst forth from the foot of the volcanic b'utte afford ing a bountiful supply of the healing waters at a temperature of from 185 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Nearby Is a cold water well. This water has an analysis almost identical with that of the famous Pluto waters of French Lick Springs, Ind. Army Men Kneiv the Springs. Fort Selden was established as a military post in 1S6C and occupied as such for 21 years. The officers of the nosfr constructed a hath hntiRA nt the springs, and among numerous old time 1 ciuzens wno were guests or tne onicers were Maj. W. J. Fewel. and Edward Piper, a civil engineer, both prominent citizens of El Paso. Indeed, so enthu siastic was CoL. Bliss, at" one time in cemmand of Fort Selden, that he earn estly urged the government not to part with the title to thea springs and the land around them, 'but to retain them, the same as had been done in the case of the Hot Springs of Arkansas and in other localities. But the lands and springs finally passed into the hands of private owners. Easily Accessible. The location is on the Santa Fe rail road. The Camino Ileal, the state high way, now being built by New Mexico from Colorado through the state to Texas, passes directly by these springs. At the recent election in New Mexico, an issue of 500,000 in state bonds was authorized partly for the purpose of cbmpleting this great highway. From El Paso, when the road is completed, the springs can be reached in two or three hours by automobile. The main "Borderland route" for transcontinen tal automobile tourists passes near Fort Selden. A Bit of HUtory. The springs lie at 4000 feet above sea leveL Across the Rio Grande from Fort Selden, the Cerro Roblero rises 3000 feet higher, or 7000 feet above sea level. From the top of its highest peak on Dec 2. 1S82, a party of United States astronomical engineers observed the transit of Venus, which proved to be the only successful observation made in the United States; the stone house they built and the iron columnT they erected are still standing on the -top of the' mountain. From the summit of this mountain the vista is beautiful. The country here abouts is full of historic interests, and the sweep of the eye includes a circle of 150 miles radius except where ranges and peaks interpose. All around are relics of an interest ing history. Plentiful remains of ab-, original pottery are found on .the mountains and at the springs. Close by is tife old trail traversed by the early Spanish explorers when they in vaded New Mexico. Over this same road passed the famous expedition of Pnl. j Doniphan and his soldiers during the 1 Mexican war, when they marched from ujoouuii turn uiu Lejkicu. xmmeaiateiy below the springs is the old ford across the riTer. where Victorlo and his band of Apaches crossed in 1879 when ! they escaped from San Carlos reserva tion, Arizona, and went to eastern New Mexico, to enter uponvtheir last great raid in these parts.
