The divine right of kings is a long
honored doctrine which the world mas
now well-nigh outRrown.
The next step in the progress OF
human freedom will be the overthrow
al of the doctrine of the divine right OF
parents.
Times. children were literally slaves.
Today, after twenty centuries OF
Christian influence, they are, in the
majority of cases, still slaves, though
nominally free. There is something OF
the despot in every human being, and
few parents are strong enough ana
wise enough and conscientious enough
to abroRste that absolute authority
over their children which clrcum-
stances make it possible for them to
ACQUIRE. Whether avowedly or un-
conciously, most fathers and mothers
proceed upon the principle that they
own their children. They wish to
dictate to them their tastes, their
opinions, their occupations, and, Zoo
often, their ultima ate settlement in life.
They go even farther. They not
only demand obedience and submission
to their every whim, but they actually
expect love and gratitude from their
children simply by virtue of being
their parents. With an egoism which
would be amusing were it not so dis
astrous in its results. they require i'm
plicit cor f1dence in their superior
judgment. They enforce in the home
the old monarchial idea that the
king can do no wrong"
The whole system is irrational, IL
logical and unjust. 1t is centuries be-
hind the. democratic spirit of'she times.
No.human being can own another. And
no relationship can give one person
absolute authority over another. The

expect children to pay with whole
SOULS tasking" for this uncertain
quantity, life.
But" exclaims the old-fashione6
sophist, "think of the suffering and
self-sacrifice which parents endure in
the rearing of children"
True. Put on the other hand, reflect
that the child is in no way responsible
for this suffering and self-sacrifice.
People assume the responsibilities of
paren thood of their own free will and
it is only right and just that they
should bear the consequences. All the
care which they may lavish upon the
rearing and training of their children
is nothing more than their natural
duty. They owe it all, first to the
child and second to the state. All a
fathers hard work and mother's
anxious vigils cannot plsc child in
their debt. Why? Because the chilli
has right to their utmost care.
Review the case. Parents evoke
soul capable of suffering from that un-
movable realm, where it was, at least
at peace. They bar ness it to the tread
mill of earth to be scourged and goad-
ed by mortal ills. They endow it with
own sins upon its innocent head. Fin
ally, they warp and cripple it by dali
ly regime of mismanaeement. Alas!
in some cases, they deform it in way,
compared to which, the cruelties prac-
siced by the witches of Egypt to pro-
duce physical dwarfs, we're merciful
and humane.
Their work done, they sit back in
pious complacence and ask for-gratl-

Kind Heaven. How are things gone
awry!
The thought of the sufferings and
injustice which little children endure
is enough to dethrone reason, did not

New Orleans presents the decidedly
rare spectacle of the local gas company
having made three voluntary rsduc-
tions in the price of gas to consumers
within short time, although it enjoys
a monopoly of the business, says the
Baltimore Herald. It was moved to
do so by the desire to stimulate the
use of gas for cooking purposes. 1t is
not at all necessary that gas should
have Illuminating power to render it
available as fuel. a non-lighting but
heating gas could be probably sup
piled at considerably lower figure,
and the reduction in cost would result
in q much enlarged consumption.

The great pueblo came next. DR.. Cole
reached the conclusion that the stone
walls rose two stories and were surmount-
ed by a story of adobe. In the centre was
a court, a common kitchen. From the
court radiated an immense number of
rooms twelve deep and in three tiers.
They averaged fourteen feet square. 1t is
believed that as in the modern pueblos,
entrance was gained only by climbing on
ladders to the roof.
Entrance to the rooms could be gained
only by digging.

A hint of why the city was abandoned

largely of volcanic ash. Dr. Cole believes
that centuries ago there was an outpour-

San Francisco, March 10.-Billy La
vigne, brother of Kid Lavigne, jumped
into the ring in the fourteenth round
of the Smith-Lavigne fight tonight and
Referee Mcdonald was forced to give
the decision to Smith. The end came
so suddenly and Unexpectedly that the
big crowd was for a time at a loss to
understand the situation. The cause OF
Billy Lavigne's action was the fact that
George had received couple of solid
blows from Smith on the jaw and was
palpably ratified and somewhat groggy.
His brother seeing his condition and
fearing Knockout, out Of a brotherly
sympathy and family pride, jumped
through the ropes and placed his arm
about his brothers shoulder, declaring
he would never see George Inundated
by a Knockout. Referee Mcdonald
had no other alternative than to decide
in favor of Smith.

New YORK., March 10.-"Mr. Kipling

ance of his favorite Josephine's death,
the news was broken to him tonight
by DR.. Durham. The blow was a
heavy one, but the father bore up
bravely.
"How long was she ill?' he asked.
He was then told as much as the attend
ants thought wise. Tears stood in the
poets eyes and he murmured half TO him
self, half aloud: Poor little joe" It was
this way he always called the little one
The doctors believe it was best to break
the news as the worry and d.strust he
seemed to have in all the replies given
his queries about the little one would
have probably been more harmful than to
let him have the truth.
