The Punishment Of Children.

A very interesting discussion may
be found in the New York Worlds
Sunday Magazine on the question,
allow should children be punished"
But why should children be punish
ed at all? Surely any intelligent par
ent who will give the problem the
careful attention that it deserves, can
find way of giving to the immature
and wholly dependent child all the
governance and discipline that are
necessary without infiicting pain, ply
steal, mental or moral-upon it. There
is always something in child to
which successful appeal for good be-
havior can be made-pride, self-esteem
affection, the innate morality Of inno-
cence or something else basides fear.
And the appeal to these forces whole
somely educates the child, while the
appeal to fear Of punishment degrades
him, making a coward OF him and
usually liar also.
One trouble is that parents will not
be at pains to study the characters Of
their children in order to learn to
what sort of appeal each will respond.
1t is less troublesome just to thrash
them or inflict some other trouble
upon them.
Again, much of parental govern
ment is tyranny and injustice. 1t is
imposed not for the child's good, but
for the parents convenience; not upon
any principle but arbitrarily; not
upon any grounds or reason that the
child can understand, but as an auto
cratic fat, against which the child
rebels in his soul if he has the courage
and before which he cringes and
covers if he is morally infirm. In
either case he is wronged.
The parents right to rule is by no
means absolute. The child's right to
personal liberty is as positive as that
of any man, though subject to certain
limitations. 1t is the parents right
and duty to govern the child where
goverance is for the child's own good
or where it is necessary to keep him
from wronging others. The wise and
just parent will not rob his child of
the discipline incident to self-control.

Ii you would increase your happi-
ness and prolong life, forget your
neighbor's faults. Forget the Islander
you heard. Forget the temptations.
Forget the iault-inding, and give lit
tie thought to the cause that provok-
ed it. Forget the popularity of your
friends, and only remember the good
points that make you fond of them.
Forget all personal histories of quar-
rels that you have heard by accident,
and which, if repeated, would seem a
thousand times worse than they are.
Blot out as far rs possible all the dis
agreeables OF life; they will come but
they will grow larger as you remem-
Der them, and constant thought OF the
acts OF meanness, or, worse still,
malice, will often tend to make you
more familiar with them. Obliterate
everything disagreeable from yester-
day; start out with a clean sheet for
today, and write upon it, for sweet
memory's sake, only those things
that are lovely and lovable.

The only way to build up q town is
for all to go hand-in-hand, every man
to the wheel. Danish all feelings of
discord, if any; let harmony prevail,
and you are sure to prosper. Talk
about your town, write about it, speak
well Of it, encourage your people at
the head Of municipal affairs, choke
the croakers, beautify the streets in
every way, patronize its merchants,
refrain from sending outside for goo DIS,
advertise in the newspapers, favor
some enterprise always, and If you
can't think of some good word to say,
keep quiet.

He Wished to Retire.

The editor OF a populist paper down
at Pasco, after looking over the recent
election returns and reading the agri-
cultural secretary's report showing
the prosperous condition of American
people in general and farmers in par
ticular, gave voice to his emotions in
the following: ~ have run this paper
just long enough to illustrate the diff
ference between theory and practice,
and am convinced that i am entirely
outside Of my sphere when editing and
managing newspaper, and being
thoroughly convinced of the correct
ness of my latter conclusions have
determined to retire from the business
as soon as can dispose of the good
will and material OF my Office. This
paper is for sale at bargain. The
material is new, the paper is young
and the editor is tired"

A Place With No Taxes

There is one place in America
where the inhabitants are never called
upon to pay taxes. This is LIQUIDS
Island, off the coast OF Maine, near
historic Pemaquid. The island other
wise known as Muscongus, was over
looked when Maine became a state,
and was included in no town or coun-
ty. 1t is said that during the war the
people cast their votes for a time in
the town of Bristol, until some cleo
tiop officer discoyered the illegality Of
the vote. The island vas first settled
by John Loud, deserter from q
British man-of-war, and his great.
grandchildren are now prominent
inhabitants. The educational inter-
ests OF the people do not suffer be-
cause of there being no taxes. A
school is maintained by voluntary
contributions, the parents paying four
dollars for each child. The school
term averages about eight months in
the year, and about eighteen children
attend. Catching bait for the fisher
men Of Boston, Gloucester, and Port
land is the most profitable occupation
of the islanders, but, when bait is
slack in running, they turn their
attention to clustering and mackerel-
fishing.

Complaints of the chronicles OF hor.
rors with which the press, or part
of il, teens in this day and land, are
perhaps well founded, but they are
not new. In one of the earliest Am.
erican papers, printed before Frank
lin began his editorial career, an apol-
ogy for lack of good news was based
on the ground that the English prints
were generally stuffed with Robberies,
Cheats, Fires, Murders, Bankruptcies,
Promotions of some and Hangings Of
Others" That was century and
three.quarters ago. If we are no bet
ter than in those days, we are assured
ly no worse.

Pleasant Evenings.

1t rests with the women OF the
household to make arrangements by
which the evenings may be made
pleasant for the entire family, young
and old. Happy evenings at home

man, are strong antidotes to the prac-
tice OF looking for enjoyment abroad,
and in seeking pleasure in by and
forbidden places; for relaxation and
recreation will be INDUCED IN some.
bow by young people, and sometimes
by husbands. Happy are they Of the
home circle who eaq furnish nj the need
ed diversion: A lively game, app inter
esting book read aloud, or in !m9pHnsiical
families, a new song to be practiced,
will furnish pastime that will make
an evening pass pleasantly. A little
forethought during the day, little
pulling of wires that need not appear,
will make the whole thing easy; and
different ways and means may be pro-,
vided for making the evening hours
pass pleasantly and time to be look
ed forward to with eager anticipation.
Each member of the family can help
in doing this. We visited once in
large family where it was the duty Of
each sister, in turn, to provide the
evenings entertainment, and there
was a pleasant rivalry between them
as to whose evening should be the
most enjoyable,

There promises to be hot cam
paign in Texas within the next few
months. In view of past occurrences
at such times, and mindful Of the
good name of the state, the Galveston
News suggests that every time during
this period that farmer gets real
mad and excited over politics, and
feels like he must do something stren-
uous Or perish, he run right out in
the field, grab "a hoe and take it out
ON the sunresisting earth. There is
good reason to believe that, il this adj
vice were followed and the hoeing

Such an affair as the Kentucky
shooting of Tuesday ought to make
the people of that state stop and think
if they are capable OF it. 1t is impos-
sible to say how the disgraceful thing
could have been prevented, given the
bloody traditions with which human
relations in that locality seem to be
complicated. But that innocent men,
strangers to the two insane brutes who
shot each other, should have had to
die from the mere crossplay OF their
infamous anger is horrible indeed.
