THE CHILD SHOULD WORK.

Nothing is so wholesome for children as
something to do.'' Now that the school vacat-
ion is on this thought should be brought home;
when school is in session they should attend at
every session, if health permits. The work OF
any we'll conducted school is refining and human
ling. They should also be permitted to play.
PLAY is natural and necessary expression of
child life; and several hours of it every day
should as far as practical, be spent in the open
air. A play1ess child should not be thought of.
But work is also important Every child
should have some regular appointed task The
work should be useful. 1t should be doRe
properly and we'll. Manual labor of some kind
is the best;.and it is no objection that 1t IS
arduous enough to tire the young worker.
The child who does not learn to work until
weary and to persist even beyond that point,
has something very necessary yet to learn. vi
course. however, this should not be pushed too
far.
Goethe. one of the greatest of modern work.
ers and thinkers, said: II work that I may not
DESPAIR" He recognized both mental aud
phvsical safety in labor. This is universal
and necessary lesson.
The work of the world is not yet rightly
distributed Many do too much of it. Some do
far too little. The socialists are not altogether
wrong when they insist that all should do some
of the worlds manual labor and all have at least
an opportunity to do some OF its intellectual
work and share in its artistic work. AS the
world grows wiser, tendencies to equalize the
tasks, benefits and enjoyments of labor are as
sorting themselves. At all events, every child
should learn to work.-Ex,

will their votes be worth to you the price you are

The plausible point here made by the par
tisan Galloway has ABSOLUTELY nothing to It, tor the
reason that nobody is abusing the party. The
abuae is directed at partisan committee only
who have done more to perpetuate the partisan
bitterness among our people who should be re-
united in the democratic party than every other
influence or agency in this campaign Then
whv ask will these votes be worth the price the
people are paying" The people are not paying
ANYTHING except that degree of vigilance that IS
said to be the price of liberty, and they are pay
that with spirit of a1acrity that must be ap-
pallling to the controlling element in the great
political ring that is dominated by corporation at
