Devoting Entire Week
to Baby Preparedness
Bables, although an old, old
■tory In the world, seem to have
been neglected ln the past and
have passed down through the
ages as an unknown commodity.
But with the coining of prepar
edness and other new necessities,
tlie babies are coming into" their
Own.
Baby Week will be celebrated
March 4 to 11. Women will be
■hown the proper methods for
caring for their babies. A series
Of lectures by physici-ins and den
tists will be given on the follow
ing subjects:
Importance of birth registra

the home during early months:
Taconia's milk supply; Care of
normal child, 2nd to Ith \ear;

Jits at Park
There will be no municipal jit
ney buses In Point Defiance park
this summer, if. Park Commission
er Kean has his way.
, At today's meeting of the
board, Secretary Gower announced
that be could get an automobile
for $1,300 that could be used as
m sightseeing bus, and as an auxil
iary truck.
"We have plenty of teams out
at tlie park for the rough work,
ami i don't approve of buying an
auto truck this year," declared
Kern. "As far as the jitney busi
ness Is concerned, I believe the
park board would do better by
leasing the business to some com
pany handling auto buses. I think
they would give better service, and
the park board would make more
money."
Last year the park board Inaug
urated a jitney service on Satur
days and Sundays at Point Defi
ance, but took in hardly enough
"Jits" to pay expenses.

something done soon before the

Assessments to the amount or
$ 1,175.a>7 for street pavements
and sidewalks stand against the
Mason library properly in the
Nortli End, according to a report
made by Commissioner Atkins to
day. The assessments run back
eight years, and those that are
delinquent have been drawing 20
per cent.
"Let's let them foreclose on Ihe
property. The buildings gettinc,
so decrepit that It will fall down
Hretty soon, anyway," suggested
Commissioner Woods.
The council decided, however,
that, since Ihe property was in the
hands of ihe city it was morally
bound to keep up tlie assessment
payments.

Roosevelt Will Run Anyway;
Brandeis "Hearing" a Fiasco;
I ll S. Navel Reserve Now 303
WASHINGTON, 1). C., Feb. It,
—Roosevelt will run anyway.
A trip to New York before
Roosevelt left for the West Indies
has convinced me of this much.
George W. Perkins thinks so,
too.
I had a long talk with Perkins.
He thinks Roosevelt can win even
■In a three-cornered fight; so, as
T. Burton would say, Jacta est
alea, which being Interpreted is,
"The dice are down," or as a great
German student has rendered it,
"The bones are in the ring."
Go mm Far m* They I.lke.
The Barnes-Crane-Hilles combi
nation may go as far as they like.
They may go ahead and get their
hand-picked delegates and ar
range for their dark horses and
masked marvels until the gong
sounds.
The little old B. Moose buneli
Is going to rally around the antlers
again.
I Once more the Florentine
room in the Congress hotel will

Moose, and once more ln the Au

"You can't beat somebody with
nobody," Dick Croker used to
say.
That is why Perkins is chipper.
Fairbanks, Weeks, Burton and
the other "white hopes" of the

agers are "nobody" in the estima
tion of Perkins, while T. R. slaiuls
for "somebody."
He believes the ragUOeeM and
indefiniteiiess of the stand pat re
publican campaign will be its tin
doing.
Already the prospective south
ern delegates demand to know lor
whom they are going lo vote. They
want at least a prosiieet of win-i
■Jag—tlie jobs! 'No more Taft t
campaigns for theirs!

The slandpat game km been'
much weakened by tlie premature
appearance of old General Pro-;

There isn't a grave-digger's
chance for Barnes * Co. to be the
advani'e agents of a prosnerity
which is prancing around with all

The tariff issue including a
tariff commission—is now unani

endorsed by W. Wilson, M al.
Everybody's for preparciine:is

So there's no issue between
anybody, exce|it the personal Inne
between T. Roosevelt and W. Wil
son; which issue Is sharp and
acrid.
May lie Only Two.
Of course the three-cornered
fight. Symptoms in Ma—aim
setts point strongly that way
Wben Bird, Gushing and August'
Gardner can get together oi
Roosevelt, there Is little of tin
chicken left for Crane and Week:
and the Shoe Machinery Trust
hardly anything exrept the MCfc
and the feet, as it were.
Other states, Perkins thinks,
are likely soon to follow Massa
chusetts, and he says It would
not be surprising if it were .ill
over but the shouting by June 7.

Hunt Hard For
Damaging Facts
The hearings on the subject of
Louis D. Brandeis and his qu ili
fßations for the supreme bench,
as conducted by the sub-commit
tee of the senate committee on
the judiciary, have so far be»n a
fiasco.
The hostile senators ooted to
have this hearing public in the
hope that something aeemlngly
detriinentai to Brandeis would be
brought ont and get full pun
llctty.
They put out a dragnet and
went fishing for hostile criticism.
Even unknown persons who
wrote to tha committee in a critl-

before the coamlttee and tell

Even when they turned out to
be harmless cranks I hey were
listened to with a patience new
in senators.
Lawyers who had been in op
position to Brandeis in private
practice were summoned and pw*>
milled to air their am lent
grudges and to retry cases in
which tliey had beta beaten.
Any witness who could name
a person who might be willing to
