ON RUSSIAN TREATY
THE RE3IDENT NOTIFIE8 CZAR
OF ITS ABROGATION.
WILL IGNORE HOUSE ACTION
Communications Prepaid and. Inter
national Rotations Not Lightly
to Be Dealt With.
Washlngton.Presldent Taft called
the five members of his cabinet now
in Washington to tho White Houso
Sunday and conferred with them
from 10 o'clock until midnight on tho
Russian treaty situation.
Nothing waa given out for publica
tion at tho conclusion of the confer
ence, but it is understood, that the attl
tudo of the administration was finally
decided upon and messages outlined to
be sent to tho capltol Monday, In
which, It Is said, tho senato will bo
urged to adopt a resolution abrogating
tho treaty of 1832, couched In lan
guage that will not bo offensive to tho
St Petersburg government.
Attondlng tho conference were, Sec
retary of Stato Knox; Secretary ot
tho Navy Moyer, Secretary of Agri
culture Wilson, Secretary of tho
Treasury MncVengh and Attornoy
General Wlckersham. Secretaries
Stlmson, Fisher and Hitchcock are
out of town.
President Taft, It Is said, has In
dicated that ho will veto tho Sulzcr
resolution If It should bo forced
through tho eenato tomorrow without
modification. Nothing that can bo
construed as on offense to Russia will
bo permitted if tho prosldont can holp
it
In his communications Mr. Taft, It
la sold, will call attention to tho fact
that International relations aro not
lightly to bo dealt with.
Dcsplto tho advlco of certain repub
lican leaders of tho houso that the
lower branch of congress 6hould bo
considered in tho matter President
Taft wasMcJd to bo determined to lg
nor tho houso entirely In his further
dealing with tho Russian situation.
Senate leaders expect to hear Mon
day that tho president, through Amer
ican Ambassador Guild nt St Peters
burg, already has notified Russia or
tho Impending abrogation of tho
treaty. This notice la believed to
havo been couched in tho politest
terms of diplomatic language, and to
havo stated that tho American people
had como to regard tho treaty as ob
solete in many of its provisions. Tho
expiration of tho treaty is fixed for
January 1.V1913.
President Taft is said to have taken
tho ground that if ho chooses ho can
abrogate tho treaty by executive de
cree without waiting for or taking
Into consideration any posslblo action
either by tho houso or tho senato. Ho

members of tho senate committee on
foreign relations, and Is eold to baso
hla attltudo upon precedents laid
down by his predecessors.

Appendicitis In Baby.
Pittsburg. A uino weeks old baby
was operated on at a Pittsburg hos
pital for appondlcltls. Physicians say
the operation was successful and
that tho child will recover.
SERIOUSNESS OF PARENTHOOD.
It Is a serious matter to launch a
soul on tho tcmpostuouB sen of life to
bo storm-driven and possibly wrecked
upon some hidden reef.
Wo were reminded of this by a re
cent afternoon spent in Judgo FroBt's
Juvenile Court at Lincoln, Nebraska.
Tho first case was that of a young
ster Just budding into manhood who
had been intoxicated. Tho liquor had
been given him by an older man with
whom he worked. Ho professed not
to know his name. Ho was reticent,
almost sullen. His faco suggested' a
parental influence that cursed him
Wore ho was born. Tho Judgo sent
him away with an exhortation and
warm Bhako of the hand. To tho
writer ho said: "I havo not much
hope, havo you?'' '
Caso No. 2 is a baby in tho arms
of a woman with a mother heart All
unconscious that its destiny is fast
being determined tho eight weeks' old
child is tugging away at a bottlo to
satisfy present needs. Tho parents
havo separated and havo both de
serted tho little waif. There is noth
ing hotter but to turn it over to some
child-saving institute.
Case No. 3 was that of two girls;
tho father and stepmother appeared
with them. Tho mother is deflant
and has a reputation none too good.
The Judgo coverely reprimands tho
parents and postpones action one
week" and commands that tho second
girl bo present
Caso No. 4, Husband and wlfo
havo separated. She has taken steps
to procure a dlvorco. Charged her
husband with drunkenness, infidelity
and cruolty. The evidence mado It
clear that her conduct had been un
solaclous if not criminal. Tho Judgo
proposed to taka hor 8-year-old child
from her. Ho had taken ono before
and It had been adopted Into a good
family. For an hour sho wept and
pleaded that tho Judgo would not
tako away hor baby. "rho Court as
sured her again and again that ho
would bo glad to glvo her tho child It
ho felt that tho future ot tho child
was eafo with her. Sho produced
letters showing that her husband had
reformed and was willing to tako her
back. Sho promises to return and
tho Judgo promises to restore her
child when sho can glvo good evidence
that her homo Is fit for Its nurture.
Caso No. 5 Is that of eleven boys.
Thoy havo been guilty of stealing flvo
gallons of elder, tearing down a
fenco, , flinging mud nt houses and
making llfo miserable for their neigh
bors. They are well dressed, Intelli
gent, and evidently from good homes
and good families. Tho oldest Is 14
or 15 and tho youngest 8. Tho
overworked probation officer, Mr.
Hoenborgor, could not see them all
and thoy, for tho most part, havo
como In voluntarily. They know that
tho Judgo Is their friend.
Young as thoy are they belong to
that great class of American youth,
uncontrolled by parents, out at night,
taking eagerly such instruction aB
tho street affords. They aro embryo
anarchists. The Court and probation
officer try to Impress them with their
danger and to transform tho leaders
In tho wny of ovll Into leaders In tho
paths of virtue.
Tho boys aro not marked excep
tions. Thoy nro simply illustrations of
tho great mob of young anarchists
that Infest every town. Thoy aro tho
derelicts of parents too busy in mak
ing money and attending clubs to
manage their own homes. Tho Juve
nile Court Is needed In all our towns
to buttress up tho slender authority
of parents. If men and women do not
think onough of their progeny to care
for thorn suitably and train them
properly, then they should forfeit tho
pleasure of begetting them. The fam
ily will either perpetuate or over
throw tho stato.
Ladles Object to Profanity.
The woman golfers of New York
havo mado objections to swearing on
tho links and have discussed tho mat
ter In their clubs. Tho men who play
over tho links are all supposed to bo
gontlemeu, but sometimes they aro
not careful of their languago, and
ladles have beon'mado very Indignant
by tiomo speeches. It has been sug
gested that notices bo placed In tho
clubhouse, but the fact that the
ladles havo discussed tho subject
wl, no doubt bo all that Is neces
sary. Tho Facetious Judge.
A horso dealer complained to a
magistrate that eomo malicious .per
son had cut off his horse's tall, which,
as ho meant to soil It, would bo a
groat drawback.
"Then," Bald tho magistrate, "you
must sell tho animal wholesale"
"Wholesalo?" i replied the' other."
"What do you mean? How so7"
"Because you cannot re-tall It," waa
tho reply. ,
Rather Late.
"Does that young man who calls on
your daughter stay very late?"
"Rather. It'a got so that I ifave
to uso tho back door when I etart out
for work In tho morning eo as not to
Interrupt them Baying good by to
