Railroad w arS.

This seems to be season of wars, or
suits, among railroad companies, par
ticGlarly in the Shenango Valley Of
Mercer county. The custom recently
seems to have been for parties to get q
charter, or use some old one, organize
a company, take large amounts Of
stock in it. without having or putting
in one real dollar, and then 90 to work
and borrow money by bonds or mort
gage on the supposed road, and all this
for the purpose of not making a road
but for making money for themselves.
In other words, it is a plan of how to
make something out Of nothing, and
has been carried to such An extent in
railroading, hereabouts and elsewhere,
as to finally cause the end that inevi-
tably follows such mode of business.
Just now we are witnessing the result
Of these fraudulent practices, which
will end only in exposing to public
view, through the legal wrangles
among themselves, the rottenness OF
the whole system Of some railroad
making.

$50 Away For News"

The common saying that "You
must go away from home to hear the
news of your home" was well illustra-
ted last week by a communication to
the Pittsburgh Dispatch, written from
Mercer, in which the writer attempts
TO give not only the politics of Mercer
county but Butler county as well.
TIE writer, "St. Geo." seems not to
have visited Butler. Had he done 30

Congress from this district, it is relia-
bly stated, has entered the contest for
the Judge nomination ofMercer county,
and will therefore not be a candidate
for denomination for Congress in this

for the Judge nomination in Mercer, it
ia said, the Hon. E. W. Jackson, and
perhaps other aspirants, and the contest

In regard TO the rise of parties, Mr.
Cameron seems TO intimate that the
National Republican" began before
the election Of 1928 If this be his
meaning, he is mistaken. In that
election parties were known onl y as
Adams and Jackson men. The Nation
al Republicans arose afterwards and
supported Mr.. Clay in 1882; the name
Wing being suggested in that year, but
not fully adopted until 1888. The
present Democratic party began to take
its name in 1881, and became fully
recognized in 1929 | have before

Filial Confidence.

Through babyhood and childhood, to
the tender and careful mother. the soul
of her child is as an open book She
notes every new word added to his vo-
cabulary, every new phase of his char
acter as 1t develops, every growing ten
dency to virtue or vice, every opening
sign of expansion in intellect, as she
notes his increase in stature, the varia-
tons in his health and the peculiarities
of his taste. Should he be parted from
her for awhile, how carefully does she
''go over him when they a~e together
again, and find out how and in what he
has changed; how delicately does she
probe his consciousness to see if he is
everywhere sound; how earnestly does
she examine the growing harvest of his
soul to see if any enemy has been SOW
ing tares therein! And when she is as
sured that there are no concealments
from her maternal eyes, no hidden, tan
gled spots where the light of her love is
forbidden to shine in, no bruise or
wound she may not be permitted TO care
for, she is satisfied and at rest. Why
should not this disposition last through
life? The mother is always the mother
and if she can hold this sacred relation;
through ali the changing phases of her
own and her children's lives, what q
guarantee that both she and they are
sound and pure!
Lord Bacon says: "a man were bet
ter relate himself to a statue or picture,
than to suffer his thoughts to pass in
smother" But far better than this,
when a man can in the mind and heart
of a friend find the mirror of his own
mind and heart, and see himself reflect
ed therein as is his image in his friend s
eyes where he looks in them, he is for
titled within and without against innu-
merable receptions, dangers and enmi-
ties. He has the two fruits of friend
ship, as Lord Bacon terms them, of see
ing himself somewhat as he is, and of
having his own Judgment of himself
and his affairs corrected by the judg-
ment of his friend. The two points of
view give him two sides and an angle
winch he may measure, and so
determine his approximate relative
position. Ii this is desirable for
an adult, how necessary IS it for
those who have not attained mature
years, for those just on the threshold of
manhood and womanhood and facing
the problems given for solution. When
they are deciding upon plans of life,
upon ways of accomplishing cherished
hopes, and of realizing ardent aspira-
tons, they need, not whit less than in
childhood, the wise counsel of the
parent, the ready sympathy, the unfail-
ing affection, the impartial judgment.
The young mother needs to remember
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-02-08

this, and to make such division and i'm
provement of her time and care as will
enable her to anticipate the needs of
her children when they approach ma
turity no less than when they nestle
in her arms in babyhood. She may
allow her capacities to become so mar
rowed and dwarfed by exclusive devo-
ton to mere nursery duties that when
her babies have outgrown the cradle she
must still continue to rock them.
The son who finds in his parents his
wisest counsellor, his truest friend, and
who loves tn bring to them whatever of
good or of evil he finds in life, and dis
cuss with them all his experiences and
hopes and plans, is not likely to err
from straight paths. The daughter who
hnds IN her parents her most trHsted and
sympathizing confidants is insured
against ten thousand perils that lie in
wait for unguided and misguided feet.
Whatever will preserve to parents and
the children the broadcast area of mutual
sympathy and interest should be sedu-
lousy cultivated Parents need con-
tinually to remind themselves how it
was with them when they were young,
and to treat their children not always as
they were themselves treated, but as
they might have been treated had the
ripest wisdom and the soundest judg-
ment in their parents been tempered
with genuine sympathy for youthful
enthusiasm. Where this is done it sell
dom or never happens that strangers
know more about the hopes and fears
and actions of child than his own
parents do, but first of all to those from
whom he derived his being does he
hasten to open his mind and confde
what is in his heart
When child arrives at years of dis
erection, which is often long before he
attains majority, the tone of parental
authority may with great propriety be
laid aside and the youth be taken into
the counsels of the parents, and hence
forth be guided rather by suggestion
than command, and encouraged to ex-
ercise his own discretion, subject of
course to parental revision His own
needs will compel consultation with
those of wider experience than he has
and will compel him to come to the
nearest congenial and sympathetic
heart. Happy the child that finds this
heart in his father or his mother! Happy
the parent whom the child makes his
perfect contidante!-N y Tribune.
