Thanksgiving day. This day prob
ably never had so strong-a hold on the
people as it has today 1t is the
family dav; the day for reunions; the
day for the return of the absent son or
daughter. With what eagerness come
the children and the grandchildren to
the old roof tree, and the glee of the
children adds much to this happy
merry making. The thought of the
true import of the day is 50 interviewer
and so expressed in the very word that
this festival is not likely ever to be-
come heart1ess and without deep sig
nificance. We all are thankful-thank-
full to our kind Heavenly Father for
the blessings of His Providence; for
the benefits of free country; for the
joys of home.

INSPECTOR BOYLE PROTESTS
Says He Has Not superintended Laying Ct
Paving by Electric Light Company.

William j. Boyle, in an interview
this morning, made decided protest
to the article published in the Daily
Gazette last evening in regard to the
laying of the paving by the Kenosha
Light and Power company, in which it
was stated that nearly all of the work
was done under the inspection of the
assistant engineer. In the first place
the article seems to be written for the
purpose of showing that the work was
done under the direct supervision of
the city engineers office. This is not
the fact, as Mr.. Boyle never was as
sistant engineer nor is there any such
office in Kenosha. Furthermore Mr..
Boyle states that the pavilion replaced
under his direction will not exceed
four hundred yards.
When the company was hopelessly
tangled in their efforts to replace the
paving at the corner of Main and Mar
ket streets Mr.. Boyle was called in to
assist them, but not as an official from
the city engineers Office. He inspect
ed the re1aying of this part of the
street as well as the pipe line on Main
street to the power house. He then
took charge of the work on Park street
and inspected the work on this street
until it was completed. Mr.. Boyle
states that the great mass Of the work
done by the company was done without
any inspecting. All the work which
was done under the especial direction
of Mr.. Boyle is now in first class con-
ditiOn

Truants and Truancy.

+ In. my. Journeys about the country
and the cities / see many children
mostly boys-wflo are either wandering
aimlessly about or are forming plans
for making some kind of mischiev-
Gus raid. AS a rule country children
have some kind of useful work. City
children, quite often, have little else to
do except attend school. They long
for something exciting. They seek
companions. In the summer time the
green fields, the woods and the lake
are much more inviting than the school
room. So they play truant; sometimes
without the knowledge of the parent;
oftentines with such knowledge.
Being away from restraints they do
whatever comes into their thoughts.
A company of truants or gad-abouts,
will fall farther in one afternoon or
evening than the combined efforts of
parent, pastor and teacher can raise
them in month.
In most towns and cities gangs of
half grown girls and boys may be seen
scuffing and gigg1ing along the streets
at unseemly hours of the night In
alleys, behind lumber piles, along the
lake shore are found boys who are
cheating their lives by being absent
from the school. They are learning
the first lessons of crime. Many of
them will be the future thieves, burg
lars and murderers of the state. Now,
don't blame these youths. You, father;
you, mother; you, teacher, are most
likely to blame. Don't you know the
whereabouts of these children? You
ought to know. Years hence, when
your head is gray and your heart is
broken you'll know who that child is.
Most likely he'll be at Green Bay or
Waupun.
We are told that years ago parents
were much too severe with children
Perhaps SO, but one thing is certain:
there were some most excellent men
and women reared in those days.
For one, believe that nothing takes
the place of stern discipline. 1t brings
out the best there is in us. An army
without discipline becomes a mob, a
home without discipline becomes a
nursery of detectives and criminals.
Many fail in the battle of life, not be-
cause they are vicious, but simply
because they will not keep step with
the procession. They can not because
they have not been taught discipline
and se1f-denia1
IF parents or guardians will not see
that children are in at proper hours or
neglect to know what their wards are
doing at ali times; then it is surely the
duty of the state to look after both
parent and child. No community can
afford to allow a criminal factory to
turn out it's products.
According to the newspapers, there
is rung a curfew bell in some cities.
All children of sixteen or under are
then required to be off the streets.
However this plan may work, the
motive back of this regulation is a
good one. The place for a boy or girl
is at home.
Almost without exception chi1d's
character is mainly formed before the
age of eighteen; some say before ten.
What a duty, then, have parents,
teachers and guardians to face. If our
modern civilization ever be overthrown
it will be by the Goths and Vanda1s
who will grow up in the alleys, cellars
and docks of Our great commercial
centres. WILLIAM GRIFFITH.
