average of 2,000 children 1 a year. fcJifhiy-sewn per cent of those already provided for hav turned out well, 8 per cent liuve been returned, 2 per cent died, ene quarter of one per cent have been arrested for petty crimes, 2 3-4 per cent nave disappeared. For very young children, whose parents are both dead, it Is easy to find good homes and legal adoption. The last census shows a declining birth rate, notably In the States of the Middle West, where homes should certainly be plentufil for these unhappy little ones of ta great city. WOUID LIMIT THEIR CAPITAL Senator Newlands' Plan for National Railroad Incorporation Law Senator Newland consumed several hours the other day In explaining to the members of th Senate Committee . on Interstate Commerce the provisions of his bill to prohibit over-capitalization of corporations. Mr. Newland' plan provides for the incorporation of railroad under a nat ional law instead of the conflicting laws of forty-five states. He said THE POSTER IN POLITICS. VOTERS OF ENGLAND APPEALED TQ THROUGH GAUDILY COLOR' f ED SHEETS Vast Fortune Spent for Printed Mat : ter. Prominent English Statesmen Ridiculously Cartooned on Bill board and Host Card. '. j In no country in the world are more time and money spent in appeals to the reason and good will of the public man in England. ' stringent laws against malpractice in securing votes force candidates for office and their agents to Invent numerous and Inge nious devices to attract public atten tion. During the last General Elec tions every effort possible was put forth to influence the opinion of .the voter by means of posters; to such, an extent were posters utilized that the tight for election wes nicknamed the Poster Campaign. ' - England in January was plastered from end " to end with political post ers. Big four-sheet posters and tiny postal card posters, bright and dull, I " ' ' i . S. ! ""I -Mi! i w : . ill I! 1 J I -?tft sss 5 A NARROW TENEMENT DISTRICT STREET IN NEW YORK capitalization would be limited to honest valuation and actual Investment instead of being swollen abnormally by "the familiar device of stock water ing." Dividends would be limited to a fair return on actual capital, said the Sen ator, but would be virtually guaran teed, because the roads would' be per mitted to make rates which would earn not less than this normal return. Taxes would be fixed and definite. Continuing the Senator said: "With the settlement of both rates and taxes on a permanent' basis, railroads would go out of politics becauee they would have absolutely nothing to gain by political activity. My measure is based on the theory that railroad con solidation Is not harmful if properly controlled. ; 1 would not only permit, but encourage such consolidation un der national charters." Baronets Rosea'a Violet. Undoubtedly it is pleasant to loll upon the cushions of a perfumed lan dau or coupe, and the owner of such a vehicle is happy amid the odor of violet and lavender that comes from the satchet bags she has placed around It Ba ta Baroness Elizabeth Rosen, daughter of the Russian Ambassador to this country, has more poetic Ideas. She ha a charming little coupe at the sides, of which, where another woman would ha7o a mirror, powder puff and hairpins, she has two contrivances which hold water and keep a handful of violets fresh and fragrant It is a delight to step into this carriage. The Baroness is going to have additional flower stands in the coupe, and will have perfume and color wherever she goes. The original New England was on the Pacific coast Francis Drake took possession of the western eoast in 1679 and called the country, Nouva Albion (New England) because he thought the white cliff near Point Reves resembled the chalk cliffs of Dover. clever and stupid, In rhyme and in prose, humorous and pathetic, posters adapted from Mother Goose; and post ers stolen from Aesop's Fables. - Each party printed them In thou sands and exhibited them in clubs and art rooms to Its admiring adherents. In Birmingham, Mr. Chamberlain's home and the stronghold of the Unionist - Conservatives, a boarding with 20,000 SQuare feet of surface. was erected and completely covered with the posters of that party. At night Chamberlain's protection polity was a source of never falling inspiration fer the free trade caricaturist. The Liberals gave an initial exhibit in the National Liberal Club . London, for the benefit and guidance of the party's candidates and agents, v. ' The Labortt.es, or the working mans party, got out only a few post- era. , They have little money to spend tor campaign purposes unless it is fur nished them by one of the big parties which wants them to pun votes from the other side.- This timeline Liberals contributed to the Labor) funds. The Unlonlst-Conservatttres had the wittiest .' posters. A bjg " favorite showed the new CampbeUBannerman cabinet recoiling In horroi at the en trance of Lord Roseberry, iho has fre quently played the part it political wrecker. The best Unldplst shots were : directed against -, toe Liberal leader's (wjio Is always Weired to as "C-B") suspected bribery of ' the Irish National party pllotel. by Mr. John "Redmond. For some ume past Mr. Redmond has been a Masterful man-on-the-fence, leaning . to which ever side promised Home Rule and other plums for Ireland. A humorous poster represents John. Bull in. his best clothes, a bouquet in one land and a key labeled "Office" in the other, waiting at the church door. He is horrified at the sight of his bride Mrs. Liberal Party, with the face of C-B, a - bouncing widow ' who ' has brought her little son of Irish, extrac tion with her. The cartoon is entitled. Little Johnny would come." Still an other poster represents the dilemma of Mrs. Liberal Party an. Uncompli mentary portrait of C-B as an irtitat- ed old lady who finds her unruly Irish adopted an embarrassing and xolsy handful that she sincerely wlshei did not belong to i her. A protectionist poster that would appeal to Amerl cms is labeled, 'Help, in the King's name," and shows John Bull beinr slugged and robbed by the pickpocket ing nations, Germany making of with British work, tools and gold, ;whlle Mr. Chamberlain as a- London police man, armed with the club of Retalia tion, leads the colonies to the rescue. The Tariff Reform League contrib uted to the Unionist collection a post- or called "the Parrot whereon tnnt feathered folly sits perched above the door of the Cobden Club and with one warning claw upraised, parodies "The Raven." .0 .:.;.-.,:;-. While Mr. "Joe" Chamberlain' ad vice to Mr. Arthur Balfour, a quoted by the Liberals, "Mind, Arthur, not a word about the fiscal question. Stick to Home Rule," was carefully fol lowed by ' the Unionist-Conservative followers of those gentlemen, the op position's posters were largely devoted to repeating the cry of the Parrot "Your food will cost you more," and worked every pictorial variation pos sible on the free trade vs. protection, argument ' . The Hanky-Panky Government was the biggest hit on the Liberal hoard inga. It represented Mr. Balfour as a sleight-of-hand artist who, having ca joled his hat from John Bull, proceed ed to take ont of it the goose and rab bits of unpopular legislation, which Mr. Chamberlain supplied from be neath the tv'. . to the evident amusement of the prestidigitator, who frankly owned that he was "quite sure the gentleman who loaned him the hat had no Idea what was Inside of it" Liberal wit reached Its zenith with a caricature of Sir John Mlllais'e paint ing, "Bubbles," which, showed Mrl Chamberlain anxiously blowing "the bubble promises of protection benefits ni1 t eh trier thorn hurst, f . i Notwithstanding all the prominence given the tariff question in the post ers, however, it cannot bo said ' to have been a live Issue la tho English General Elections. Mr. Chamberlain himself anticinated defeat because the old party during Its long term of as la the United States in 1SSS ant 1891 - ' - - The English take things serious ly, even posters. A Liberal cartoon representing a motor car causing a frightened horse to jump a fence wounded ' the susceptibilities . of a Unionist candidate.- His chauffeur de manded through his solicitors that the cartoon : be destroyed on " the ground that it libeled his ability as a motor . driver. The Liberal candidate responsible for the cartoon replied through his solicitors that he would accept service In any proceedings but that the poster would "stay put" Elections in Ireland are -exciting though not so violent as they were In the days of George IV. who, when he visited Galway on the occasion of a general election, was told in answer to his question, "Whom do you expect to elect?" "The survivor, sire." The cost of the January elections In the. British Isles was close on $10,000, 000. A Candida te'sexpenses are limited by law. but each voto costs on the average four shillings, or aa American dollar. , Orkney and Shetland, Scot land cost their aspirants to Parliament most votes costing s high as four teen shillings apiece in legitimate ex penses. V - The cheapest constituency is Merthyr Tydvil, the labor district which sends up Mr. Keir Hardle. These votes come to about a shilling. The curious thing V- .
