The system is evil which produces
such fruit. and, however simple it may
appear, in reality it brings forth all
possible complications.
The other system is the extreme op-
! poste, that of bringing up children for
| themselves. The roles are reversed; the
parents are there for the child. No
sooner is he born than he becomes the
center White headed grandfather and
stalwart father bow before these curls.
His lisping Is their law. A sign from
him suffices. If he cries in the night
no fatigue is of account; the whole
household must be reused. The new
conner is not long in discovering his
omnipotence, and before he can walk
he Is drunken with it. As he grows
older all this deepens and broadens.
/ Parents, grandparents. servants, teach
ers, everybody is at his command. He
accepts the homage and even the inn
notation of his neighbor; he treats like
rebellious subject any one who does
not step out of his path. There is only

the infallible. Too late 1t Is perceived
that all this has been evolving a mas
ter, and what master. Forgetful of
sacrifices, without respect, even pity.
He no longer has any regard for those
to whom he owes everything. and he
goes through life without law or check.
This education. too, has its social
counterpart 1t flourishes wherever the
past does not count, where history be

tradition. no discipline, no reverence;
where those who know the least make

fer public order are alarmed by every
chance conner whose power lies in his
making a great outcry and respecting
nothing. 1t insures the reign of transi-
tory passion, the triumph of the infe-

the company could have let the dead

arms or n rlDDOnT Not Inat visible
signs are to be despised - they have
their meaning and use-but on condi-
tion that they cover something and not
a vacuum. The moment they cease to
stand for realities they become useless
and dangerous. The only true distinc-
tion is superior worth. If you would
have social rank duly respected you
must begin by being worthy of the
rank that is your own; otherwise you
help to bring it into hatred and con-
tempt. 1t is, unhappily, too true that
respect is diminishing among us, and it
certainly is not from a lack of lines
drawn round those who wish to be re-
spected. The root Of the evil is in the
mistaken idea that high station ex-
empts him who holds ii from observing
the common obligations of life. As we
rise we believe that we free ourselves
from the law, forgetting that the spirit
of obedience and humility should grow
with our possessions and power. So it
comes about that those who demand
the most homage make the least effort
to merit the homage they demand
This is why respect is diminishing.
The sole distinction necessary is the
wish to become better. The man who
strives to be better becomes more
humble, more approachable, more
friendly even with those who owe him
allegiance but as he gains by being
better known he loses nothing in dis
tinction. and he reaps the more respect
in that he has sown the less pride.

although Folk is a Democrat and Had

It would be a very easy matter for
the attorney general to discredit the
governor in his attempts to bring re-

torney general might also bring dis
credit upon himself, but many
politicians seem to think more of hurt

than they do of doing their own duty.
Not so Mr.. Hadley. Other officials
and influential Republicans have sheer
ed at Governor Folk and cast doubts at
his sincerity, but Hadley is not of that
class. A week or so ago Governor
Folk gave orders to suppress race track
gambling at Delmar park near St.

NrLLIFYING ALAW.

one OF the measures that was most
exploited last winter as directed against
the Standard OIL trust was the one
making pipe lines common carriers. It
was written by Senator Fred Dumont
Smith, who, with his friend, W. S. Fitz-
patrick. posed as the leader of the fight
against the oil trust
Senator Smith has now gone on a
European tour. Just before. he left he
wrote letter to Attorney General Cole
man giving it as his opinion that the
common carrier pipe line law is uncon-
stitutional. He says that when he
wrote the law he thought pipe line
companies had the right of eminent do
main. but he has since discovered that
they have not, which, he believes,
makes the law invalid.
Why is it that so many laws affecting
corporations turn up with loopholes in
them after it is too late to plug up the
holes? Last winter the people Of Kan
sas were stirred as never before in
their desire for legislation which would
enable Independent refners to compete
with the Standard in Kansas. It was
evident that legislation along those lines
would be passed. Two attorneys, ex-
perienced legislators, rushed forward to
lead the movement. Whatever else may
be said of them, neither can be accused
of lacking brains. They took charge Of
the legislation against the Standard and
the oil men supposed the proposed
measures would hold water.
Four laws affecting the Standard were
passed. Now the refinery law is tied up
in the courts and the lawyers seem to
think it will be declared bad. One of
the trainers Of the oil legislation as
serts that the common carriers law is
invalid. The loopholes in the maxi
mum freight and anti-discrimination
laws have not yet been pointed out,
but loophole season is still early.
The excuse given by Senator Smith
concerning the defect in the common
carrier law does not sound very good
to the average person. Supposing his
knowledge was faulty at the time, we
have the law and why does Senator
Smith try to show that it is invalid? In
stead why does he not try to uphold the
law and leave it to the attorneys for
the oil trust to show the loophoIe if
there is one there? The courts should
decide whether a law is invalid or not.
When one thinks of the many laws
that are discovered to be bad or of no
effect because of some loophole, one
cannot help wondering if some lawyers
seek seats in law-making bodies simply
as manufacturers of loophoIes?
In this connection is recalled Con
gresham Victor Murdoek's advice to
the people regarding the coming rail-
road rate legislation in congress, given
In an interview in the State Journal
about two months ago. Look for the
oophole," said Mr.. Murdoch. 1T will

Townsend bill. Then when you find it,
