A Graft Map of America.

The New York World g latest ebulli-
tion Of enterprise is graft map
of the United States It divides the
country into states all black, all white,
and shaded. The white ones have no
graft, the black ones all kinds Of graft,
and tho shaded are under suspicion.
The only lily-white members Of the
union are Michigan, Iowa, North Caro-
lima, Mississippi and Colorado. Col
orado, with her police scandals in Den
yer and her spectacular election which
hinged entirely on which party could
pay the most for votes, will be sur
prised and pleased to find herself down
among the whites. H.
New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Flori.
da and several of the mountain states
are shaded. They have reported no
graft. Yet Link Steffens says Rhode
Island is all graft, from the farmer who
draws a per diem for voting, to the
senator who advocates the purchase of
votes, when it is seen they can be got
in no other way. ...,--,.2-- . .
Minnesota is painted black, tho the
report says there has been no public
graft since the Ames exposure. On the
other hand, Michigan, dear old Mich
gan, whose militia scandal and Grand
Rapids water deal are subsequent tt
the Minnesota case, is put down az
white. Possibly on the theory that
everything Of value in Michigan hav
ing been taken, there can be no graf
there. ..ss-.- H.. r.. g., Cs

! Parents and School Societies.

The National Educational associa-
tion resolved scathlingly against secret
societies in high schools, denouncing
them as fractional, as "terding to
dissipate energy 8 snobbish'' and
some other things.
The teachers undoubtedly know the
effect of secret societies in schools and
they are unquestionably within bounds
in their arraignment Of them. But ar
fragments, however eloquent, will not
stop the formation Of secret societies.
The active cooperation Of parents is
necessary to accomplish their extinction
from the schools.
The main difficulty in securing this
kind Of cooperation is that it must be
arbitrary. Parents who belong to
from three to a dozen secret societies
themselves will be hard pushed for
arguments against them for children.
To be sure they can always point out
the difference between the adult iudg
ment, which dictates to parents what
they shall do, and lack Of it in children
but when father is away from home
five nights out Of seven at the lodge
and mother weeps over the fact in the
presence Of the children, the adult
Judgment argument somehow fails tt
| permeate.
Children are born so close to maturity
nowadays that one Of the best asset,
of parents is consistency. Children cal
be made to do almost anything
| that parents recommend and to refrain
from doing almost anything that par
ents denounce, provided the parents ar,
consistent. The least flaw between
their preaching and their practice i
quite apt to be noted and to knock owe
tne,whole scheme Of government.
The secret-society business is fear
fully overdone in this country. Begin
ming with men who, perhaps, had n
home ties and felt the need Of associa
ton, it has spread to heads Of families
from fathers to mothers and from
mothers to children It has ,percolate,
from college down thru the system o
| secondary schools and become NUS
ance. But the children did not orig
mate it and they will never correct i
until they are shown decent exampl
of restraint on the part of those owe
them.
