Iron County record. [volume] (Cedar City, Utah) 1893-1982, 1906-11-23

Several mouths ago Iron county
invested in a road machine, which has
proved very successful 20 far as it
has been tested, but which is being
put to very little use. Every high
way in the county could be very ma.
terially improved by the use of this
machine, and we are at loss to see
why il is not being done. 1t is
especially useful in grading up the
highways, which has tendency to
keep the moisture from ponding on
them ard making mud holes in wet
weather. The winter is coming on,
and every road in the county will Mt
frequent intervals become slush
track, and yet few days work with
this new grader would avoid the most
of the trouble. 1t strikes us that a
lot of work could be accomplished by
the annual poll tax. 1t would even
pay the mail contractors to employ
two or three teams and driver and
go over the roads a time or two at
their own expense They would easily
realize on their investment before the
winter was over. 1t is really too bad
that his valuable machinery IL allowed
to remain idle, when the roads are in
so much need of repairs.

the dangers Of the drink evil kept
prominently before the people. We
are growing too careless, and while
we ale resting on our oars the evil
monster is working assiduously, just
IA IL ever Is. There seems to be an
increase in the consumtion of liquor.
Just what the reason for this is, we
are not prepared to say. Perhaps it
is due to the fact that at this season of
the year there is usually little more
ready money circulating. But what
ever the cause. we believe the results
are pretty generally noticeable. We
have a city council, which was elected
by the temperance party; temper
ance marshal and temperance
Justice, and yet there has not been a
move made, so far as we are able to
learn. in the direction of curtailing
t1e sale of liquor since the present
council was elected. In fact, there
seems to be about the greatest i'm
munity from prosecution on any score
that there has ever been in Cedar.
The claim is made that there are more
Joints in town where liquor is sold
now than there ever we're before. One
thing, at least, seems certain: the
man who wants liquor finds no
difficulty in procuring it. The
greatest trouble appears to be to find
enough customers to go round. The
claims he receives no en-
couragement to make cases. That
after the evidence is secured, there is
no attorney to prosecute. The situa-
ton is a most regrettable one. The
owes it to its con
stituency to see that something Is
lone to curtail the Illicit liquor
.rade.

In KEEN question, this question bring
III Al ing one to cross roads of life; often a
kEssss1 question whose answering is a tragedy
@&U And it refers to broad subject; yet
/ wish TO make it broader by using
the term relations" in its widest sense.
Are husbands and wives best apart? How can
one reply in the affirmative, knowing that mar
riage it a true union, the closest and most sacred
union on earthl
No, they are not best apart, Il by this Is meant
permanence of parting. Yet is it true that even
for the most loving men and women occasional
and brief separations are Of advantage.
Are parents and children best apart3 Who
dare affirm that such natural custodians and
natural wards should be separated? The sunder-
ing Of such a Heaven-made bond is an outrage.
STILL Of parents and children il is also true that
infrequent and temporary partings work good.
Men, women and children are so constituted
that they are hurt by monotony;. and whatever
they constantly experience they cease to properly
appreciate.
The most glorious scenery, flowers Of rarest
beauty, and food delicacies that tax the skill Of
the culinary expert lose their power of pleasing
in direct proportion to our familiarity with
them.
And in the more sacred domain of kinship it
is expedient that we have partings; for thereby
we have meetings; and by deprivation only can
we learn to value that Of which we are deprived
So by these twain love is made to abound
But there is another reason why children and
parents should be separated for a time These
little ones cannot always be watched over They
cannot always be guided And were these courses
practicable the putting them in force would work
immense mischief, for the children would never
become self-governing beings. 1t is expedent for
them to go into the world to face strangers; to
have their strength tested; and to gather strength
in the playing field of life.
By such means alone can young humanity learn
its true level. Many of these considerations ap-

the third joint or knuckle to its very tip. 1t

him. Only the girls have TO have somebody with
them. So the poor mother takes the hint and
stays at home, in order that her son may crafty
his desire to feel himself man.
Soon she begins to notice that he has changed
considerably. He used to be so shy that he
cried Il anybody so much as looked at him, but
now he has become quite bold, and even for
ward. He interrupts conversations, contradcts
his mother, and stands up to his two feet six in
order to maintain his own views about what
ought to be done.
He uses slang, too, and this horrifes his moth
er to the point Of nervous prostraton. Then
one day he caps the climax by coming home one
hour beyond his usual time with a black eye.
AT this point she decides that school has been
the ruin of her son, and that she would have
done much better If she had let the education
go and kept him at home where she could have
watched his morals.
She does not know that there is another in
fiuence just as strong as hers which is now work
ing upon her child The teacher has charge of
him for several hours every day of the week ex-
cept two, and so she cannot help becoming
potent factor in his life.
What kind of an influence she will be depends
upon whether or not she can succeed in making
him like her. He must either "love her" or
"hate her. to quote his own words; he cannot
be Indifferent to her. If he "hates her. this
means that she antagonzes him, that she
arouses no sympathetic feeling in his heart.
A child is like flower, for it requires sun
shine and fresh air in order to grow just as
much as flower does. What is sunshine and
fresh air to the flower is love to the child; not
only the love it receives but also, and more es.
pecially the love which it gives.
MUST LOVE HIS TEACHER

tempered. He learns nothing, for he has no in
centive to learn He idles away his time in
school eating apples behind his desk lid and
keeping dead mouse on the end of string in
order to annoy the teacher. His character keeps
on developing during the reign of the hatred
teacher, and developing in way that is very
undesirable to say the least.
But if the teacher has the tact to make him
love her then all this is changed. Then he loves

it indicates an individual who is extremely sensi-
tive, tactfu and the possessor of the finer
tastes and instincts. These subjects invariably
possess a delicate touch and are extremely con-
siderate of the feelings of other persons, as they
realize what it is to suffer from the "cuts" Of
others.
Waist-shaped fingers Gig 81 denote individ
uals who are unselfsh and self-denying partic
uarly in matters of comfort. However, they de-
sire daintiness in food and clothes. To them
quality is superior to quantity. They would en-
iov a light lunch when served with nice white
linen and dainty dishes, whereas a quantity

school are as pleasurable as those of the Sunday
school picnic or of some rare circus performance
He studies his lessons and he takes pains to
learn, for his whole delight is to win smile OF
word of praise from teacher" He never eats
apples in school, because 1t is against the rule;
and he never plays tricks on her, for his childish
mind looks upon her as being in some sort o
superior being
He is happy and contented and his character
is expanding like the petals Of a flower. He is
always bringing her presents
But the tactful teacher accepts everything
gracefully, and may even raise him to the seventh
heaven by giving him kiss. She never laughs
at anything he says or does, no matter how
funny he may sometimes be to grown up eyes,
but takes everything seriously as if the fate
of the nation were at stake
She listens patiently to all his troubles and
settles all his disputes impartially. She has real

The associates boy encounters in public
school must often be detrimental to him, for they

to the same matter:
was surprised, in securing nurse for nv
nrst child, to have my husband object to one
who came to me on trial. She was efficient and
neat In every way, but she had very poor teeth.
1hey were discolored, and evidently in poor con.
dition, and my husband insisted l should dis
charge her at the end of her trial week.
lhe mouth, he said, was hotbed for semitic
germs even in its most perfect condition. He
wouiu certainly have no nurse about breathing
into his chld's face who could not at least sbo,S

teeth were promising, but not quite perfect. he

business to have the time in which to make
his little sons acquaintance. lie may rule him
through fear, but he sees too little Of him to
influence his development in any true sense of
the word.
Until the child is FIVE or six, he is with his
mother almost constantly-that Is, II she is the
right kind Of mother, and not fashionable
doll that more for her spaniel than her son.
If she is the right kind land we are supposing
that she isl she has had him with her almost
every minute of the five years Of his life.
She has taught him 10 say his prayers, to obey
her in every thing and not to do anything he
knows mamma wouldn't like. She has encour-
aged him to come and tell her things, such little
affairs as the cake that cook made him, and the
mud he got on his new shoes; that when he
grows older, he will come to her with more inn
portant issues the only right and natural thing
TO do.
But her reign cannot 60 on forever thus un-
divided. He is six now, and she feels that she
will have to give him up into another woman
hands for several hours every day.
She takes his first day at school as badly as
he does, and when he cries she has an almost un-
controllable temptation to snatch him up and
to take him home on the spot.
To leave him ID almost as hard wrench as the
curl-cutting process of the near future is to be.
But she knows that he has got to be educated;
she thinks educated is nice big word, almost as
big as he will be some day; and SO she uses it
and goes home without him.
For few weeks she escorts him to and from
school, but after while she begins to notice
that he seems to resent this attention. Moreover,
his kiss a parting is less feryent, and his greet
ing in the afternoon less Joyous than it used to be-
REBELS AT MOTHERS ATTENTIONS
She realizes with a jealous pang that some
body else now has share in her childs affections.
Then the day comes when he speaks up and tells
her that as the other fellows don't have their
mothers or nurses come with them or take them
home, he doesn't see why she should come with
