The Duty of Children.

Fathers and mothers are having
constantly impressed upon them in
the pages Of books, magazines, and
papers the great duty they owe
their children in the way of educa-
Monumental, moral, physical, and
business. 1t is pointed out to them
that it is their duty to have chill
dren, and then their duty to see to
1t that these children become good
citizens. Home training" it is
shouted from the pulpit, from the
platform and the press, is to blame
for the incapable, the inefficient, the
degenerate, and the criminal. On
the other hand. to the same cause is
ascribed the presence in this world
of great and good men and women,
our philosophers and statesmen,
philanthropists and men of affairs.
But is there not something due to
the parents? Have not the children
also a duty not only TO the common
wealth and the human race, but to
the parents themselves? One duty
surely is clear, the one laid upon

Honor thy father and thy mother;
that thy days may be long upon the
land which the Lord thy God giyeth
thee"
The sins Of the fathers, we are
told, are visited upon the children,
even unto the third and fourth gen
Grafton, but it is to be seen on every
hand and almost daily how the sins
of the children are visited upon the
parents. The disgrace of a son or
daughter is a double disgrace TO the
parent, for to him comes not only
the disgrace of his child, but the
disgrace of himself. Who can meas
ure the depth of the anguish of that
father or mother who sees a dearly
beloved son or daughter sinking
lower and lower in the esteem Of
the public, until no friend is left
but those TO whom the child owes
its life? Conversely, who can meas

Endurance Contest Fad.

Aside from the question of
whether there is anything of real
value in contests in which human
endurance is tested, It cannot be
denied that they are of peculiar in
terest. Six-day bicycle races, when
they were new in the land, were the
most absorbing contests of the day,
but like the six-day walking
matches, they have passed into the
sere and yellow leaf, and have de-
generated into purely commercial
speculations, and are not ranked
high in that class. There is or
ought to be a certain amount of
physiological interest taken in them,
for they certainly go TO show of
how much continual exertion the
human body is capable. In this re-
spect the longtime piano playing
exhibitions and the novel display of
continuous bowling, just given in
this city, are of even more interest,
although wholly lacking in cOmpeti-
tive features.
In all contests of this sort il
would seem that the test of their
value is to be found in the answer
to the questions: Do they reveal to
Us any new thing regarding the ca
pability of the human body to meet
the requirements of life or to meet
emergency demands? Do they tend
to give us stronger, healthier, hap.
pier bodies?
Soldiers gain nothing from six
day pedestrianism. Armies, even or
forced marches, advance by short
stages at a rate no faster than the
ordinary walk of a man in some
peaceful pursuit. They take fre

Serving Two Masters.

Charles FELTON, Pidgin, formerly
chief Of the Massachusetts Bureau
of Statistics Of Labor, and a we'll
known author, is named as the ben
eficiary in a bill introduced last
week in the Massachusetts, Legisla-
ture, providing for compensation
for the use of tabulating machines,
of which Mr.. Pidgin is the inventor,
and which have been in use by the
State since 1875. This bill does not
provide for compensation for any
period of time during which Mr..
Pidgin was in the employ of the
State. Since July s, 1907, Nj. Pidgin
has been a private citizen, and the
relief contemplated by the bill is in
tended to cover only the time since
his official capacity terminated.
The temptation for public officials
to engage spontaneously in private
business enterprises has been wise
" Iessened by stringent regulations
of law in nearly all branches of the
National Government. Under such
regulations an examiner in the Pat
ent Office is not permitted TO use
his expert knowledge of the invc"
tions already patented to devise
new inventions; employees of the
Pension Office are not permitted 20
make use of their knowledge in the
prosecution of claims before that
bureau, and in some of tie scien-
tific branches of the public service
employees are not permitted to mo-
nopOlize the opportunity in the di-
rection of providing the public with
scientific literature through the al
Turing occupation of writing foI
magazines.
Some years ago the line was close
/ " drawn in one of the dePa rtments
by the PRONUNCIATION of an order
prohibiting the employees who were
by profession physicians from fol
lowing this profession IN vacation
and out of office hours,
The theory that it is impossible to
serve two masters has been firmly
and justly established for hundreds
OF years. 1t should become a mu-
nicipal as well as a national prin.
ciple. The employee making use OF
his official position to advance his
private interests by engaging in
business where the public interest is
at variance with private enterprise
and where his official knowledge
gives him the advantage over citi-
zens engaging in the same lines OF
occupation, is unfair TO the public
and to the business world.

Speaking of Cannon.

Rich is the material ready at
hand for the literary infaters of
the Cannon boom. By taking just
a trifing liberty with a line from
Byron's "Siege of Corinth," we have
this stirring declaration of war:
The Cannon is pointed and ready to
roar!
Again taking advantage of the
license allowed in all matters polit-
zeal what noble use can be made
of this coupIet from Longfellow's
"Courtship of Miles Standish:"
Truly the only tongue that is under
stood by the voter
Must he the tongue Of fire that speaks
from the mouth of the Cannon!
Of course, Shakespeare can al
ways be drawn upon for anything
in any emergency, and we do not
find him wanting now. Bringing
the wording up 10 date, as il were,
a striking passage for use in letters
and circulars to be addressed to the
voter can be found in "As You Like
It."
Full Of strange oathes and bearded like
the psrd,
jealous in honour. sudden. and quick in
battle,
Seeking ever the peoples good
Even thus IS Joe Cannon.
Friends of the Illinois statesman
will also now and then find a word
of prophetic warning in their
search of the classic pages of our
common literature. They would do
well to heed this from Praed's
school and SchooI-FeIIows:
Some lie beneath the churchyard stone
And some before the Speaker.
As the campaign advances the op.
ponents of the youngest oldest
man of them all may find a discon.
solatory prophecy in Tennyson's
"Charge of the Light Brigade"

Cannon to left Of them.

Before that time, however. they
may have occasion to recall in fear
and terror the alarum from Byron.

DiScreditS the Law.

Is it possible under our laws to do
an innocent man gross injustice? Is
it possible that under those same
laws a guilty man may stay the
hand of Justice?
Caleb Powers, whether guilty or
innocent, is again~asling justice of
our laws at the hands of our courts.
Eight years he has been a prisoner.
Three times has he been found
guilty and sentenced, and three
times has he been granted a new
trial His fourth trial has now re-
suited IN a disagreement of the
jury, ten men voting to acquit him,
and two to convict. A fifth trial is
now probable, with the possibility
of a sixth, and a seventh, and still
more until he may die a prisoner,
with the world still ignorant of his
guilt or innocence.
Are our laws adequate when such
things can be? Is our jury system
right? Should we still require that
twelve men, picked at hazard with
out regard 10 their fitness by lnoNvl-
edge, education. training or expert
ence. must agree before a verdict
can be rendered?
Cases like this of Powers go far
toward bringing discredit upon the
law, the courts, and the jury sys-
tenn, and cast doubt upon the justice
Of those cases which have promptly
been brought TO a close with a YER
dict of either guilty or acquittal.
Can it be that Time alone does
bring us that exact justice for
which we all pray? That the Jus.
tice of the courts is Of a truth a
blind goddess?

Weston's walk from Portland, Me-,
to Chicago is probably the most valu-
able display of strength and endur-
nnce that has been shown for many
years, and this aside from the fact
that Chicagoans are inclined 70 look
upon it only as a demonstration of
the claim that anybody, no matter
how poor. if they emulate Weston's
example, can get out of New York
and get into Chicago. This walk of
this old man answers both the test
questions in the affirmative.
But what value is there in playing
the piano twenty-four hours? In
bowling that long? In fasting six
days? They do test endurance, not
only of the contestants, but of the
spectators, and of the patience of
the public If they possess the
character of novelty, which must be
conceded to our bowling friend,
they then have their own reasons
for being, and are immune to any
criticism based upon utilitarianism.
