Mr.. Editor:

week to fathers and mothers
about the laxity Of home gov
eminent should be needed. One
of the greatest dangers that
confront this nation today is
want of proper home training
for the youth of this land. The
neglect of moral restraint and
discipline in the home is con.
stantly growing evil aud an
ever present cause of perpetual
heartaches.
1t is high time for parents to
take warning, yes, 20 even be-
come alarmed at existing con-
ditious and call a halt, whe n
for generation after generation
children have been given more
and more freedom to do as they
please till now, in many home
the bars are down for the boys
and girls to go and come. at
their own sweet will. night and
day, where temptations sur
round them and the emissaries
of Satan are continuously seek
ing their downfall. ,..L.a
Fathers and mothers. we are
so engrossed in business and
the less important affairs of life
that we neglect the more i'm
portant ones that effect the
present and future welfare of
our children and thus curtail
their happiness as we'll as our
own, and, in many instances.
our careless indifference brings
shame and dishonor upon the
family name.
Is it any wonder that boys
and girls sometimes go asrray
when their parents manifest
more interest in and exercise
greater care over their dumb
auimals than they do over their
children? The wonder is that
so many escape the pitfalls of
life under such conditions. Men
do not allow their hogs, horses
and cattle to roam the streets
night aud day, run wild or mix
with other stock for fear they
will go astray, but fathers and
mothers permit their children
to do so and then express aston
ishment if one goes astray. Par
ents. let us at least give as
much attention to our children
and their welfare as we do tt
our live stock, Our, boys anc
: girls are certainly worth as
much to us as our horses ant
, cattle and should have as great
protection. We should NOT shift
our responsibility upon the

doing for years. The home is

moral training and culture. IL

ness and decrease sorrow in the
world. 1t is a mistaken idea
that boys and girls must SOW
their wild oats" They will be
much better OFF not to do so, for
"whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap"
We Americans can learn a
valuable lesson from the Ger
mans. The great source OF
strength in the German govern
ment lies in the home training
of the boys and girls who are
taught obedience to their par
ents and then become loyal sub
jects to their king. Boys who
grow to manhood without any
regard for law.or order in the
home will n OF be inclined to obey
the laws of their Country. No
state government can remain
strong where, the home govern
ment is weak and growing
weaker.
Society has erected false
standard of morality fol the
sexes. 1t has, one stand ard for
the man and another for the
woman when there should be
but one standard for both. A
man has no right to demand
greater virtue of a woman than
he possesses himself and he
would and could not do so if
society did not grant it to him
under this false standard, If it
is right and proper for a man to
chew tobacco, use vile oalhs,
visit saloons, gambling dens
and brothels, become a rake
and a debauchee then it is right
for a woman to do likewis If
those things elevate and en-
noble the man they will also
elevate and ennoble the wom-
an; if not, why not?
What father and mother
would permit their son to marry
girl who chews and smokes
tobacco, drinks whiskey, gam
bles and Ioafs around on the
streets, filling the air with pro-
fame and obscene language,
making indecent remarks about
every man who passes along
and who associates with the
vilest of the vileY None, you
say. Yet there are many boys
doing those things day after
day and their parents want them
to marry sweet, pure and virtu'

st. Petersburg. - The Fletzk Regi-
ment broke into open mutiny at Polta-
va because alleged promises made. to
the men in the autumn to ameliorate
their condition were not fulfilled.
The soldiers, carrying their rifles.
left their barracks and gathered in the
square in the centre of the town. They
greeted the arrival of a detachment or
police with cries OF derision and COM
menced firing irto the air. Their Off
GERS sought to pacify them without sue
cess.
Later populations arrived. from the
Sevak Regiment and the artillery brl-
gade quartered in the town and de-
clared their sympathy with the mutt
neerS.
Subsequently the Fletzk Regiment,
headed by it's band, marched through
the toTn III the direction Of the bar
racks. AS it approached the building
the non commissioned officers fired
their rifles into he air, and many OFF,
GERS came out and joined in the demon
Stration.
The mutineers were in high spirits
over the fact that neither tie Cossacks
nor police dared to face them.
The men of the Moscow Infantry
Regiment are also shown. signs OF dis
content and are refusing to do sentry
duty. They lave demanded measures
to ameliorate their condition.

KILL INNOCENT RUSSIANS
Murder Done Under Cloak Of
IAartial Law.
Convictions Obtained on False Evi
dence Secured i,y Torture From
Other Victims.

St. Petersburg Russia.-The severity
with which martial law is enforced in
the Baltic provinces is angrily resented
by the Duma. Since January mill
tary court has been in continuous ses.
sion at Riga condemning great mum.
bers to death on evidence extracted by
torture. Most Of the victims are iguor-
ant youths.
According 10 the Dvatzatia Viek tthe
Twentieth Century, the court consists
Of General ArbouSoff and Lieutenant
Colonels Herman, Bauman, WiIkOvSky
and Dresdoff. The tribunal sits in a
church. Of eight persons recently con-
demned to death six proved an alihi
and their innocence was confirmed BY
witnesses.
The whole inquiry is based upon i
systematic violation of the law, torture
being the chief agent by which weak
minded persons have been brought to
falsely accuse innocent people. The
tortures inflicted include floggings and
the rubbing of salt in to the wounds
and the use of electricity. At the pres
ent time thirty-six persons are being
tried on different counts.
Three witnesses attest the truth OF
the following: Four prisoners were be-
ing transferred from one prison to an
other under charge Of Captain Dav-
lovsky and a party of soldiers. On
reaching a deserted spot near Grusen-
berg Captain Davlovsky called halt,
and addressing the prisoners exhorted
them to confess and to plead guilty to
the charge Of plundering all office at
Nadeshda. On their refusing he threat
ened to kill them. He then ordered
man named Jodnis to step aside and
think it over On the man persisting
that he was innocent aud knew nothing
of the affair he was made to stand up
and was shot on the spot. The same
fate befell man named BuSkman.
The two remaining men, Mortified at
the scene enacted before them and in
order to save their own lives, falsely
denounced a majority. of t,--rty-siX sus-
poets now on trial. The details of the
case probably would never have come
to light but for the fact that the second
man shot. although badly wounded,
was not killed. He was found by some
peasants and taken to hospital.
where he recovered and made a state
ment. from which the foregoing details
have been taken.
Captain Davlovsky, on bcing accused
of murder and attempted murder,
stated that he ordered the men to be
shot for attempting to escare.

GOVERNMENT VICTORIOUS
IN REBATE CASES
Meat Packers Found Guilty at
Kansas City.
ILLEGAL RATES ACCEPTED
Armour, Swift, Morris and Cudahy
Convicted of Getting Concessions
From the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railway

Kansas City, Mo.-Armour & Co.,
Swift Il Co., Cudahy Il Co. and the
Nelson Morris Packing Company were
found guilty in the United States Dis
trict Court here of accepting conces-
sions from the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad on export shipments
on packing house products.
Judge Smith Mcpherson. of Red Oak
Iowa, the presiding Judge. stated that
sentence would not be assessed until
the case against the Burlington Rail
way, Which is charged with granting
the concession to the packers, is con-
cluded.
The specific case considered, which
is identical with the others. is that
charging Cudahy 4 Co. with accepting
a rate of twenty-three cents hundred
pounds on a shipment Of lard to New
York for export to Germany when the
legal tariff then OH file with the Inter
state Commerce Commission was thir-
ty-ive cents.
The case is unusually important in
the list of rebate trials TO come up in
this court, for it is the first time that
any concern has been brought to trial
before jury on charge affecting eX-
port rates as applied to the interstate
commerce act.
Counsel for the defendants contend
ed that the court lacked jurisdiction,
which was overruled by Judge McPher-
son, and then that when they signed a
contract covering the tweuty-three cent
rate it was legal. and that the Burling-
ton later raised its tariff to thirty-fve
cents.
Judge Smith Mcpherson, in his
charge to the jury, explained fully the
law points involved, concluding:
"And when the amendatory rates
east of the Mississippi River were filed
with the commission August 6, and the
defendant knew of the same. it could
not knowingly receive a less rate or.
concession than that paid by the gen.
eral public without being guilty of re-
ceiving an unlawful concession, pro-
yided that the same was thus received
by any kind of device as hereinafter re-
cited.
'This so because the right. privilege
and liberty of contract usually existing
between all persons and corporations
is modified and controlled by that pro-
vision of the Constitution which gives
to Congress the right to regulate COM
merce between the States and foreign
nations.
ut is important for you to determine
whether the concession of twelve cents
per hundred after August 6. from the
rates covered by the schedules then on
file with the commission, was the result
Of a device and whetE-r done with
guilty intent.
"It must have been, before you can
convict, the result Of device and with
q guilty intent, because, if the shipper
did not know it was receiving conces-
sions and did not have guilty intent,
no crime would be committed. AS to
device is meant that which is devised
or formed by design; contrivance; a
project; a scheme to deceive; strata
gem or an artifice."
