CUBA HITS BACK.

1t requires only q glance at the
new Cuban tariff bill, a copy of which
has been received in Washington, to
convince US that Cuba is inclined to
hit back at the United States for the
treatment she received at the hands
of the last congress.
But however much we may pro-
test against this evident act Of re-
taliation, the fact remains that Cuba
is merely doing what she has the
right, as a free and independent
nation, to do and what we would,
probably, Go under the same circum-
stances.
When it is known that about so
per cent of everything that Cuba
imports comes from the United
States, the effect of the new tariff on
the commercial interests Of this
country may be fully realized. Yet
it is only what we have invited by
our refusal to establish freer COM
merciaI relations with the island. In
other words, in Jul effort to protect
certain interests, we have forced a
hardship upon certain other interests,
the effect of which may be judged
from the following schedules:
In the first place, the increases in
the duties now prevailing will run
all the way from % to 333 per cent.
For instance, the duty on coal goes
up % cents per 1000 pounds; pine
lumber must pay 40 per cent more
than formerly; poultry, 100 per cent;
fresh beef, 80 per cent; lard, cheese
and condensed milk, 100 per cent;
fresh mutton and pork, so per cent;
salt pork, 100 per cent; bacon and
ham, so per cent; butter, 20 per cent;
cadfsh, 100 per cent; soap, $50 per
cent; corn, 333 per cent; hats, 100
per cent, and other articles in vary
ing proportion.
During the past ten months Cuba
imported from this country about
So, O00, 900 worth of wheat flour, and
about $500, 900 worth of corn. With
the duty on the former article
doubled and the latter increased 333
per cent it is easy to see how Cuba
proposes to make us regret the con
ditions forced by the beet sugar in
terests.
It is easily d~iscerned, therefore,
where certain commercial intesests |
conflict, and right here may lie the
remedy for the trouble that now |
exists.
It is not reasonable to suppose that
all these interests will quietly allow
themselves made suDservient to. the
beet sugar interests. In other words, |
when the trusts fall out, Cuba may |
get her dues.

Members of the Mothers Congress Visit
ed White House Yesterday.

At the morning session of the Moth
ers' Congress it was decided to hold the
conventions once in three years, instead
of annually. as heretofore, and a PROPOSE
ton to increase the number OF delegates
TO the congress was rejected by heavy
vote.

at Thursdays session. has declined to
serve. and Mrs. D. C. Mears, OF Albany.

Records of their dominant mental

Congregation.
Property Sold to Mr.. Thomas Walsh,
Who Will Erect an Office
Building on Site.

The first legal steps looking to the wind
ing up of the anairs incident to the sale
OF the old Foundry Church property were
taken yesterday. when Mr.. Ashley NJ.
Gould, United States Attorney for the Dis
trict. filed petition In the Supreme Court
of the District asking for the appoint
ment of seven trustees for the congrega-
ton.
The petition was presented to Justice
Bradley, presiding in Equity Court No. 2.
and he named the following as members
of the hoard of trustees: Messrs. Richard
T. Morsell. Addison VI. Smith. Benjamin
H. Stinemetz, William W. Chanlee, Theo-
dore A. Harding. Irving o. Ball, and David
T. Cissel.
OF those named. Mr.. MorselI is the
only member of the board of trustees ap-
pointed in 1865 by the Circuit Court Of the
District.

1t Is set forth in the petition filed by
Mr.. Gould that the church property at
which consists of lots 8, Q, and part of
TO- square 252, was conveyed to the con-
gregation of Foundry Church by Henry
Foxhall in 1916.
One of the trustees stated that the
church property has been purchased by
Mr.. Thomas F. Walsh. who will erect a
large office building on the site. The sale,
it is said netted the congregation about
5000. 600. The deed conveying the property
to Mr.. Walsh will be placed on file one
day next week.

From the child study point of view it is
a form of training. But the words train
ing and discipline used popularity mean
very different things. Training is teach
ing in the best sense. showing the child
how, informing. Discipline is a correc-
tive: il is to remind one of what is al
ready supposed to know the wisdom, but
lapsed thercfrom. 1t must be for the
specific acts. and is for the benefit pri-
marily OF the individual; secondarily,
others in relation to it. The child's
knowledge OF right is very limited, is
usually that which is permitted different
". Wrong is that which is prohibited.
Authority is usually expressive of adult
ideas of law and justice. The existence
of authority should be justified-not
necessarily explained, but based on needs
in growth of individual
THE deep-seated love of power often
makes government a pretext for excess.

understand this, and necessarily through
experience.

He must learn to become a conformist or
n non-coDformist
DR.. Davis then called attention to the
way in which the child solves some OF
these problems on the playground. where
he should be absolutely free in point OF
initiative. He measures his ability with
that OF his fellows, through cooperation,
not through antagonism.
The diversity of interests common at
this period is natures way of keeping the
enid from becoming one-sided. the hrst
games are traditional-that is. are made
for the child. The difference between tag,
which has an individual interest. and
baseball, which depends on cooperation
and rules. was pointed out. The import
ance OF having the child to solve these so
ciai problems by contact with his fellows
was emphasized. The speaker said:
If, as is generally understood, games
are the expression of mental life. no"

spiritual death.
The hoodlum is a boy whose mental
growth has stopped in the predatory
stage. The undeveloped boy Of from
twelve to seventeen does not respect
property rights.
New experiences follow old race paths.
We should substitute new purposes for
old activities. We must fix the children

that when he was a boy the family moved

Needs of Boys of Fifteen.
AT fifteen the boy drops out of Sun
day school. This proves that either what
we teach or how we teach it is out of
consonance with the needs of the boy. We
have fitted our societies SO that they fit
children and adults, but not the boy at
the period when he most needs help. Fiji
