One of the great unsolved problems
is the proper method of disciplining
children. When and how should they
be punished, and at what age should
the slipper and the rod be laid aside
for moral suasion? 1t is true that
almost every adult person has an
abundance of ideas respecting the mat
when everybody elses children should
be spanked, and that soundly; but
when it comes to the spanking of ones
own children, that is where most par
ents fall down." as every neighbor
will willingly testify. oddly enough,
too, those who have no children are
usually the most expert and fluent eX
ponents of the art of training children
in the way they should go. Where two
or three old maids are gathered to-
gether, there one may hear in single
afternoon a volume on the proper
rearing and disciplining of children.
The question is considered in the abb
stract, of course. General rules are
laid down, with a f1ogging at the end
of each and every one of them. But
an individual child is not an abstract
proposition. II it is healthy, it will
decline to be bound by general rules.
1t will insist on specializing all along
the line, and the wise parent who
knows his child will endeavor to be-
come a specialist in order to bring the
IL 4.
ject.
1t often occurs that the child is
made to suffer for the fault of the par
ent; that the child is spanked when
the parent really deserves the chastise-
ment. An irritable father thrashed his
ten-year- boy for making a noise
about the house. NOW" said the
father with scowl do you know
why 1 whipped you?" yes, sir" re-
piled the child, between sobs, because
you are bigger'n me-" And that is
true in great many cases; and fathers
are not the only offenders in that re-
spect.
In the matter of punishment, how
ever, it is interesting to have an opin-
ion from the bench respecting the age
at which corrective argument should
be addressed to the mental and not the
physical person. Judge Tuthill, who
presides over the Juvenile Court of Chi
cago fixes that age at ten years. Az
ter child is ten years old, he says
spanking has no beneficial effect. That
however is another of those general
rules to which there must be number
less exceptions. There are some chill
dren who do not need to be spanked W
TO ten years. and there are others that
need full course of spanking, from the
slipper to the barrel stave, without
skipping any of the intermediate in
struments. In short the only rule that
can be applied is that each case mus
govern itself.

WHY DEWEY WENT TO MANILA.

Shall we ever have a true statement
of the reason our government adopted
the course which led to our possession
of the Philippines? 1t has not been so
very long since there was quite a con-
troversy over the question of who
wrote the famous cablegram that was
sent to Dewey to find the Spanish fleet
stroy it. 1t wifi be recalled that by
some it was said that Secretary Long
wrote it, and by others that it was
written by Admiral CrowninshieId
The impression made by this cable
gram was that the government had
concluded to attack Spain in the Far
East with the view of weakening her.
1t was not understood that Dewey had
to get into some port, and that his
only chance for getting into a port
was to wrench one from Spain.
In a lecture delivered in New York
on Thanksgiving Day, Hon. Stewart
l.. Woodford, former minister to
Spain, made the following statement:
What strange thing it was that
America found itself in Manila Bay
because England, under the neutrality
laws, compelled the fleet to leave Hong
Kong, and there was no neutral bay
for the fleet! The only rest the law
of nations gave Dewey was in some
port he should wrest from Spain"
1t seems from this that our govern
ment had no intention of attacking
Spain in the Far East, until the neu-
trality laws were enforced. Then it
became a question as to what Dewey
should do. He had not coal enough
to reach home and he could not re-
main drifting about in the ocean until
coal could be sent him from this coun-
try. 1t seems therefore that self pres
ervation compelled him to undertake
to destroy the Spanish fleet. He did
not attack it in pursuance of any far
sighted policy on the part of the gov
| eminent. or course the dispatch to
which attention was called was sent.
but 1t was to tell him how to find a
harbor' and was not part of the
naval campaign against Spain. At
| that time there was no thought of
taking the Philippines from Spain. In
fact, Mr.. Woodford said that there
was never any communication between
the government at Washington and its
minister at Madrid respecting the Phil
| ippines, except on one occasion, and
that was a statement that the minister
made to the Secretary of State that
the insurrection in the Philippines hav-
ing been suppressed Spain would have
additional troops to send to Cuba. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Woodford therefore the
neutrality laws are responsible for our
possession Of the Philippines.

No one can read the supplement to
the annual report of the Secretary of
War without feeling that the Secretary
is very hopeful for the future of the
Philippines. The opinion has been ex-
pressed lately in some quarters that
civil rule would have to be abandoned
and the islands would have to be put
under military rule again. There is no
doubt that there has been a great deal
of activity among the insurgents dur
ing the past year, and that there has
been enough fighting to justify an in
quiry as to whether the spirit of re.
sistance is not becoming more pro-
nounced than it was when civil gov
eminent was inaugurated. Secretary
Root however, says that I'VE may
reasonably look forward to time not
far distant which will be characteriz-
ed by general good feeling"
His view is that it is not guns that
are needed to pacify the islands, but
the removal of certain limitations now
existing which tend to restrict COM
merce and industrial development.
With their removal there will come ad-
ditional opportunities for business and
ment is offered the people they will
soon be far better satisfied with their
condition than they ever yet have been.
There is of course no organized in
surrection, but there are many rowing
handsome of them brigands-that
lraan 7fYHy in a ~fa Of
by the guerilla warfare which they
carry on If the islands were prosper
GUS they would not be tolerated. The
people would rise against them and
put them down. The thing to do, there.
fore, according to Secretary Root, is to
encourage the development of the ISL
ands in every possible way. Give the
people employment and there will be
peace, is his opinion.
No doubt the entire Philippine situa-
ton win be thoroughly discussed by
Congress. 1t is probable that the
Democrats will present the plan for
pacifying the islands contained in their
national platform, namely, a promise
of independence for the people as soon
as they have a stable government. A
declaration by Congress in favor of in
dependence for the Filipinos would no
doubt bring peace to the islands at
once.
The merits of the Democratic plan
and also that of Secretary Root will no
doubt be fully presented. The chances
are that there win be no action taken
indicating a purpose of this country to
abandon possession of the islands.
There is certainly no intention on the
part of the Republican leaders to give
the Filipinos independence.

The Presidents Dinner.


The President will eat turkey in the
White House on Thanksgiving day.
says a writer in the Chicago Tribune.
suppose many of my readers do not
know this. Many of them think, no
doubt, that on Thanksgiving day the
President will dine off gorgeous bird
of paradise or eat of a luscious lulu
bird.
No, the President will eat just tur-
key, like any ordinary citizen. He will
eat the turkey with knife and fork,
much like you will, and he will help
himself literally at times to the stuff
fling. as well as the cranberries.
OF course, the Presidents turkey
will not be quite the same as the kind
you will partake of.
O, no, indeed.
The turkey designed to be eaten by
the President on Thanksgiving day
was raised in the Smithsonian Insti-
tute. 1t comes of proud lineage, its
parents having been imported from
Constantinople several years ago. The
turkey was raised by hand by one
of the employees of the museum. The
turkey has been fed nothing but rice
pudding and angel cake, so that he
grew fat from feeding on such dainties.
The only bugs the turkey has been al
lowed to gobble have been the rarest
specimens of bugs, beetles and grass
hoppers sent from all over the world
to be exhibited in the museum. The
choicest of these, instead of being
dried, vanished and mounted, are fed
to the Presidents Thanksgiving tur-
key.
OF course, the Presidents turkey
will not be killed like an ordinary tur-
key. A fine guillotine has been brought
from France and erected in the south
hall of the Smithsonian Institution.
The week before Thanksgiving day the
residents turkey is taken before one
of the justices of the
Supreme Court and condemn
ed to death. The bird is then re-
turned to the death chamber and kept
there and fed on raisins, honey, cream
and toast until the day before Thanks
giving day, when the unfortunate ami
NAL is escorted by detail of United
States marines, headed by band play
ing the dead march from Saul, to the
5caffold. The turkeys eyes are blind
folded, and his head is then placed on
the block. The chief of the United
states Secret Service presses a button
and the shining ak descends, and the
turkey is beheaded.
Tn turkey is cooked in the White
House kitchen, and then borne in
triumph on solid silver salver to the
White House table, the procession
which escorts the turkey to the table
being made up as follows:
Judges of the United States Su-
preme Court.
Gen. Miles, U. S, A., in full uniform.
Ambassadors and ministers plenipo-
tertiary.
Two companies of the United States
infantry.
Turkey.
Prominent citizens on foot.
Cooks, lackeys, menials, servants,
etc, Battery U. S. A.
The President, using golden knife.
cuts off tidbit from the turkey and
niboles It. If his verdict is that the tur-
Key Il good, all is well. But if he says
the turkey is tough or has been cooked
too long, the unfortunate cooks are in
sfAntly taken out and shot.

The Chinese court has not yet reach
ed Pekin. and will not do so for nearly
a month and a half. When the allied
Powers entered the capital city, it will
be remembered, the court ran off a
few hundred miles, by easy stages, and
squatted. For the last several weeks
the court has been returning tn Pekin.
In America journey of similar length
would be made between suns; but in
China time is no object whatever, so
the court is moving slowly and with
dignity. With good luck 1t may aver
age ten or fifteen miles a day as it
journeys back to Pekin. The time of
the arrival of the court in the capital
is now fixed at Jan. IL. though if 1t
strikes the city anywhere within three
or four days of that time the Chinese
idea of punctuality will be satisfied.

pected to be very short. On

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: Consul Dickinson's departure
from Sofia without having secured the
release Of Miss Stone from the hands
of the Bulgarian brigands is explained
by the information that the captors of
the American missionary insist upon
full payment of the ransom originally
demanded ($110, 000), and have refused
to accept the $65O00 raised by the
Board of Foreign Missions as a COM
promise. Congress is to be requested to
vote an amount of money sufficient to
make UP the deficiency. The incident Is,
therefore. not likely to end until this
government shall have paid tribute to
a band of foreign outlaws, besides
having made its official agents negotia-
tors with and tribute bearers to these
cut-throat ruffians."
The Boston Herald Qnd.) says 1.-THE
successful cultivation OF the macaroni
wheats in this country would seem to
