In democratic countries like Ameri!
ca and Canada, where the fate Of the
nation is in the hands of the people
the future of the nation is in the hands
Of the children. They must be fitted
for their high responsibilities by the
Influences Of the home. These coun-
tries should fear the disloyalty and
contention of the tireside more than
the nefarious plots Of scheming poll
ticians. If boys wrangle and contend
at home, if they cannot discuss with
dignity the little questions that arise
from daily intercourse with one
another, be sure they will not honor
the nation when they take their places
in the senate. parliament or congress
to discuss the great problems that
confront the civilization Of the twen-
tieth century.

be put into it. But such people are
becoming fewer every year.

No little discussion has been caused,
as result Of the Grading habit Of
legislators. A certain member having
d pet measure, agrees TO vote for
another pet measure, providing the
compliment" is returned in kind.
In either case an offer of money would
be spurned, but the compliment" is
extended. The practice certainly is
not a commendable one. No bill
should be written into the statutes,
unless it is meritoriOus. and the
practice of returning the "compli-
ment" is responsible in no small
measure for many worthless and un-
enforced laws. Why not end this form
of bribery, as we'll as the more censur-
able ones.

Last summer we recall issuing
warning to bicycle riders who were
in the habit of coasting down Oak
street hill. In our news columns to-
day will be found the account of the
first accident this year. and it will be
noted, the accident was the direct re-
suit OF coasting beyond the speed
limit. This hill is a dangerous one,
and unusual care should be taken by
all who ride down it. We believe
there is city ordinance governing
the speed at which riders are per-
mitted to go, and the proper officials
should see to it that this is enforced.
Riders should cooperate with the
city authorities, and with due care
on the one hand and watchfulness on
the other, accidents of this nature
will be avoided.

In Wisconsin we have a .aw pr0hi-
biting the sale of cigarettes to either
children or adults. If we remember
correctly there was no contest over
the law, nor has there been a prose-
cution since its passage. However,
we notice that cigarette smoking is
not an unusual practice. The habit
is certainly not pleasing or conducive
to good health, and there are many
reasons why an enforcement of the
law would be good thing.
We take pleasure in commencing
the enterprise shown by the park com.
mission in cleaning up and preparing
the site for the small park in the vi
cinity Of the library building The
wood and refuse thereon, will soon be
moved away and new sidewalks laid
on the north and south sides of said
park. The people appreciate the en-.
deavors of the park commission in at.
tending to these matters promptly.

The great foe to home, peace and
happiness is worry. The habit of
worry keeps US crossing bridges before
we reach them. The evils that fret
us most are those which threaten us
but have not yet arrived. Stop worry
ing about the bread that you are
afraid will not rise. the new dress you
are sure the dressmaker will spoil, and
the next months rent. If you will
firmly resolve to worry only about the
evil or special hardship this hour or
minute and can't be avoided, ninety
nine cases out Of one hundred you will
find there is no such evil or hardship.

Two cases of tuberculosis among
cattle have recently come to light in
Wood County. A. short time ago
another case was reported from Marsh.
field.
There is not the slightest doubt but
that the largest per centum of tuber-
calosis cases among people are the d.
rect results of tuberculosis germs,
taken into the system from milk or
butter. One cow in a herd, whose
milk is taken to a creamery, may effect
the whole product, and often times
the person selling milk, may be deal
ing out death, unawares.
The state laws empowers the CON-
mon councils of cities to regulate the
sale of milk, In most of the cities of
the state this power has been invoked.
and only milk from herds having GER
titicates showing that they have been
tested for tuberculosis, can be sold
within the city limits.
These facts are recalled by the re-
cent discoveries of effected COWS in
this county. We have no knowledge
that the milk in either case was sold
either to creameries or private per-
sons, but while the subject is up, it
might be well for the city council to
ascertain whether or not the public
health is properly safe guarded in this
respect.

a much less figure.

A city park is not matter Of bread
and butter and therefor, there is no
need of rushing this matter. On in
vestigation We find that there is a
large variety Of opinion, but none feel
that the city can afford to pay such
a price for piece of land for such a
purpose.
We would suggest that the park
commission take plenty of time to
mediate upon the recommendation
for suitable site for park purposes.
that 40 mistake will be made when a
site is selected. Our columns are open
for discussion Of this subject, so that
the best site may be secured for park
purposes for the least money.

We are in favor of the city of Grand
Rapids having suitable parks on either
side Of the river for the use of our
citizens. However, we believe this
can be accomplished at less expense
than $4,000 for one piece of property
We don't believe the city fathers are
warranted in purchasing so expensive
park, without a vote Of the people
on the proposition.
The Lyon property is certainly
nicely located for park purposes, and
perhaps is worth the SIS, 900 ii sold to
private persons in small lots. We
