THE ETHICS OF TOYS

Apparently the efforts of the Amer ican rabbi to have the toymakers of Nuremburg give up the manufacture of toy soldiers was ineffective, for the seasons offerings inclined to the mar tial with unusual force and previous efforts were fairly outdone. Not only were there soldiers of all kinds and varieties, but one group showed the toy makers ingenuity at it's limit. These could be made to march in line, in fours and twos, and they wheeled, advanced and retreated in response to the move ment of the device to which they were attached. In addition, the variety of mechanical toys included warships in unusual quantity and among the torpe- do boats were submarines that actually dived.
 All of which is contrary to the spirit of the devoted advocates of universal peace, who would begin to inculcate horror of war in the nursery. But the interest of the small boy in martial trappings is not to be stilled. More. over, toys connected with the arts of peace are practically more dangerous. The toy gun and the tin soldier with their almost infinite variations are, at least, harmless, while the steam engine and tool box are among the most dan gerous in the whole toy shop. That Tommy, while safeguarded from the un- hallowed influence of the tin soldier, may be blown up by tin boiler or saw off his thumb, is one of the factors that make the whole problem so com phcated.
 Another curiosity of the season is the practical disappearance of the Teddy bear. It is not complete disappear ance, but his presence was not ob- trusive and he did not peer cautiously from the bundle of packages which the father bore home in the dusk. We are uot inclined to credit the disappearance of the one-time contention that the sub. stitution of the Teddy bear for the doll was undermining parental instinct. Nor yet do we believe it marks the de cadence of the distinguished gentleman who is supposed to have inspired its creation. It is gone and that's all. And the soldiers and the martial ar rays have survived. Nobody can tell why that is true, either. It can't be that We are martial people. We are not. So, perhaps, after all, it doesn' ( matter.
 Beneath and behind the various ar guments that have been advanced is the more comprehensive anxiety lest modern toys may be destroying ths child's imagination. The perfection of
 practical toys is likely to impai,
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-12-31

chanical toy as protean as a lump of coal. The Teddy bear can be dressed and undressed, washed and combed, in- vited to tea and put to bed. It may be invested with attributes entirely for. eign to bears and entirely applicable to dolls. The toy soldier, albeit every but ton and turn of his uniform complies with tho latest army regulations, will go to tea with tho same bear, become a savage or 2 farmer, or take any other part his commander chooses for him The ethics of toys form an interesting topic for grown-up discussion, but ii cannot be carried very far without reaching the conclusion that the form of the toy doesn't matter if the pain. cannot be licked oil and there is noth
 ing to pinch or prick wee fingers.

inventive powers. The tran that really runs on a real track, with real switches, furnishes nothing like the stimulus of playing train with blocks of wood. The old time child, to whom clothespin might be one moment soldier and the next pier for free bridge, could not be much harmed. But the new child, to whom soldier is . soldier and noth- ing but a soldier, will have the sugges- ton impressed upon his consciousness till he goes to congress and votes an appropriation for 50,0oO-ton battleships and an army of 5,000,0oo men.
 Probably this theory is unjust to childhood. Juvenile imagination is in little danger. Rendered unnecessary in some of the mechanism of play, it has expressed itself in new ways. And mo- where is 1t more active than in counter acting the suggestions of the toys them solves. It can make twenty dollar mo

CONCERNING THE MOON


 We set scant store by signs and in- cantations in this matter -of-fact world of ours-that is, speaking for ourselves, of course. We do not believe that it means anything to spill the salt, begin a task on Friday, or otherwise violate the dogmas of hidsbound superstition. We have, indeed, no special objection to room No. 13 in hotel. We hold ourselves aloof from things of that kind, we hope, if we are not quite and precisely sure.
 We do confess, however, to some ap- prehension as concerns this latest as- tronomical observation to the effect that the moon is veering away from it's correct and proper pathway in the heavens and threatens to plunge of in- to the realms of the unknown, the un- fathomable, the deeply mysterious and obscure. We do not think we care to have the moon do that It might upset things disastrously on this old earth, and, if it is all the same to the moon, we much prefer that it stand pat and let well enough alone as regards it's aerial journeying. conceding, for the sake of the suggestion, that it is quite possible to stand pat and journey si- multf4eously.
 And we want to say right here, too, that the moon has made good on its job for the past few million years or more, so far as We are able to judge in the light of history, tradition, ancient writings, poetry, art, ct cetera, and so on. In the main. criticism of the moon has been kindly and couched in appre- ciative language. True, Byron and a few other masters of his ilk have found it in their hearts to speak disparaging ly of the moon-even the immorta Bard of Avon joining in the ranks oi the malcontents on occasions-but il is by these incidental exceptions we prove our primary contention, to wit the moons erstwhile reputation is oi the highest and most worthy character
 Besides if the moon takes a sneai into pastures new, what about the tide which, with time alone, has been helt to wait for no man? The chief caus, of the tide is the attraction of thu moon, We are told by the scientific gen tlemen. Hence if the moon insists or shying away of where 1t has no sort oi business, will 1t pull the waters of ere ation along with 1t, thus turning the en tire world into one vast Sahara?
 On the whole, we venture to hop, our astronomical high -brows have beei smoking the wrong pipe and that i is not true about the moons newl. assumed contrary disposition. The moor can make great hit with us at al events, by maintaining its present high ly satisfactory status. We shall b gratifed to know that it has not turne, lunatic.
