A Judge Advises Mothers

Mother" said a judge of the Cleve
land Juvenile Court, you are running
your boy by nagging him and telling
him he is not good. His teacher tells
me he is good. You had better
change your tactics or we will find
him another home"
Rearing a boy or girl is much like
walking a tight rope. The least wob-
BILE is likely to precipitate one head
first into disaster. There is but one
way to do it, and that is the right way
make the child companion, then
be good yourself.
The judge hit one nail resembling
whack on the head when he said
Don't nag"
The child who grows up in home
where from earliest times he has heard
the shout, Don't touch that" Don't
do this!" will you stop whistlingT"
You shall not keep that dog" Take
that kite out of the house." and that
sort of thing, having no liberties about
the home, and who is constantly re-
minded by suggestion or direct charge
that he is "the worst boy one ever
saw" is pretty apt to be driven into
being that very thing. Cincinnati

TRUSTS ARE NOT HURT
But business In Other Lines Has Been
Seriously Affected by the Panic

Mr.. Taft says that the panic is about

spond with the view of the Chicago
board OF education that $4,000 children
go to school hungry, partly because
their fathers cannot get employment
and because Of the Increase in tie

The Saturday, Evening Post, of re-
cent date, contains more statistics

AN ABLE JUDGE

San Francisco, October 10, 1905.
Hon. G. F. Talbot,
Chief Justice, Supreme Court of
Nevada,
Carson City Nevada.
My Dear Judge Talbot
/ feel moved to write you letter
congratulating you and your associ-
stes, not only for your. splendid anal
ysis Of LavaYnina v. Uhiig, as ex-
pressed in Nash ". Mcnamara, O8 Pac.
405, but for the tribute which the Su.
preme Court of the United States has
paid your court in its recent decision
Of Farrell v. Lockhart, 90 Sup Ct,
Reporter, 6sl. ....
To criticise the opinions of that
great court, or even to deferentiaily
suggest that it has made a mistake,
requires some courage. Most tribu;
nals of lesser dignity content them,
selves with stating the rule as an.
nounced by the higher court and ac.
cept the question as foreclosed rather
than render themselves open to the
charge of judicial INSTRUMENTATION.
Your clear exposition in Nash v. Nc
Namara as to what should be the rule
of decision, SO impressed the Supreme
Court of the United States, speaking
through Justice White, that they sur,
rendered gracefully, acknowledged
their error, and retired Lavagnino v.
Uhlig to the domain of 'toverruled
cases." l know Of no case in the his.
tory of that great court where SINH
lar result has been accomplished
through the medium of an opinion OF
State tribunal.
Your decision, which induced the
reversal Of Lavagnino V. Uhlig, has
cleared the atmosphere and proved a
great and lasting benefit to the profes.
sion and to the mining industry. There
is no longer any uncertainty about the
rule. A prospector who invades the
boundaries of a prior valid and subsist
ing claim, acquires no rights what
ever-present, potential or eventual.
If he wishes to relocate ground, he
must wait until the prior locator
abandons it, or is clearly in default in
the performance of the work required
by law to be done. We shall, in the
future, have less litigation and more
regard for the rights of Others. Fol
this result, we are profoundly indebted
to the Supreme Court of Nevada.
Accept for yourself and extend tt
your associates my thanks and con
CALCULATIONS.
Sincerely yours,
CURTIS H. LINDLEY.

bring about a steady but not pronounced
increase in the price of securities. In
other words. there is no decided boom in
any such purchasing movement. The
grea- misfortune is that spectators are
prone to take advantage Of the natural up
ward tendency of the market caused by
legitimate investment buying of this char
acter and to push prices unnaturally in Or
der to allure. the small margin buyer.
When the unsophisticated speculator sees
the market advancing from day to day in
terms of half points. full points and even
five points. he is likely to scratch together
a few hundred dollars and go in for a
flyer. That is what the professional ele-
ment in Wall street is always ready to
welcome.
The man who goes in on margin buying
on a small capital is taking big chances
because he is trying 20 play a game of
which he knows practically nothing, and
in the manipulation of which he has actu-
ally no hand. He is no better off than the
man why buys lottery ticket or who bets
on the horses with the professional gam
blers Such speculative movements are I'M
wholesome. 1t is certain that the great
slump of March, 1907, followed by the
panic of October. was caused in large de-
gree by the unwisdom of the public in
thinking that because prices were high
they were certain to go higher, when as a
matter of fact they had already passed the
point of intrinsic value and had become
dangerously topheavy

Spectators Active Again,

The security markets of the country are
giving evidence Of increased activity. In
deed for the first time since the beginning
of the slump eighteen months ago there
are signs of a pronounced bull movement.
Cndeniably this is the result primarily
OF the better industrial conditions general
ly prevalent. The mills are working more
nearly at full time than for many months
past. wages are being paid regularly and
dividends are flowing into the pockets Of
stockholders. Money is seeking invest
ment and in such conditions one of the
fir 't tokens of revivins prosperity is the
disposition to speculate. The man with a
thousand dollars wants 20 make 1t two
thousand. One of the best though most
dangerous forms of capital increase is to
buy on a margin in the stock market in
The hope of taking advantage of a quick
turn of price upward enabling the specu-
lator to sell at profit. When the market
takes a quick turn dowr.. however. the
margin disappears and the SPECTATOR real
ICES the vital difference between buying
the stocks actually and trading in them
on a margin.
There are signs that most Of the buying
now in progress is of an investment rather
than of speculative character and that
1t is not professional. That Is to say. or
ders are being received and executed in
good dividend-paying stocks on terms
which insure fair returns on the capital.
Such a buying movement is certain to

More Public Buildings Needed.

The governments building policy has
been In some respects fatuous one, lead
ing to constant difficulties and involving a
heavy expense. The United States is in
fact at least ten and possibly twenty-five
years behind time in the matter Of equip
ping itself for the effective transaction
OF Its affairs A quarter of a century ago
1t designed building to accommodate
the State. War and Navy Departments.
Even before the structure was occupied it
was outgrown and branches of those de-
partments were accommodated in out
side quarters. Sixteen years ago the con-
gestion In the triple department building
was SO serious that the department heads
were clamoring for more room. But 1t
was only during the last session of Con-
gress that provision was made for the
acquisition of a site for building for the
State Department Even then the grant
was couched in such terms as to lead to
the belief that the government proposes
to erect one building for the State and
Justice Departments. If this is done the
lesson of the State. War and Navy build
ing will have been ignored. T.
In another part of The Star today is
printed letter from a correspondent who
calls attention to the demand of the
Treasury Department for a government
owned structure to accommodate its va
rious auditing offices, now scattered over
the city in rented quarters. One of the
buildings occupied by Treasury branch
of this character is believed to be from
every sanitary and business point of view
wholly unsuited to the conduct Of public
affairs. Apart from the questions Of hu-
name consideration for clerks the bust
ness demand Is for more concentrated
and a more economical form of housing
and The Stars correspondents sugges-
tons are worthy Of entertainment.
Whatever is done. however. the PROPOSE
ton to utilize the government-owned land
directly north Of the Treasury should not
be adopted. The government should never
erect a building on site less than
square in extent. Nor should it depart
from the principle established in the case
of the new State-Justice building. name
ly. that of placing all future public build
ings on land within the Mall-avenue tri-
angle 1t is to solve just such problems
and to provide at once for all the future
building needs of the government that the
immediate acquisition of the entire Mali
avenue triangle has been advocated. Any
less extensive enterprise of site provision
will leave the government from time to
time confronted with its perennial ques-
ton of what to do with the clerks.

What Ais the Olympiads?
ON the Chicago Record Herald

The revival OF the Olympic games
the attempt to apply to modern sport
and international athletics some of the
noble traditions Of the ancient semi-re-
ligious game festivals-is worthy OF all
encouragement. It has received such
encouragement in generous measure,
not only from lovers of sport and ath-
letics, but from educators, admirers of
Hellenic culture and advocates of peace
and good will among the nations 1t is
to be borne in mind that the dominant
idea Of the modern Olympiads. as OF
the old ones, is the promotion of unity,
solidarity and human brotherhood.
What Is the matter with the people of
London? Why have the Olympic games
been neglected? Are the prices too
high? Has the publicity been insuh1-
cient? These matters. likewise, require
of the modern Olympiads would be a
melancholy commentary on contempo-
rary ideals and sentiments.

Praying for Rain.


Drought has fallen upon the state Of
Virginia. heavy and parching. and in the
country many eyes are turned anxiously
toward the skies. It is an untimely dry
ness. and. In a sense. an unreasonable
one; for in these summer months there
has been no lack Of rainfall. Since March
l, so the records show. there has been a
considerable excess of moisture over the
normal, and June gave rain enough to
soak the ground thoroughly. But after
that has come fierce heat and blazing
sunshine. day after day. to burn the
juices from the earth and from the roots
of the growing crops; and the soil has
grown scared and dry as bone. Now
every scorched cornhill in the state is
crying aloud for water. Men and women
prayed for rain in many churches in Vir-
ginia Sunday, and prayed earnestly
and in faith. 1t is a pleasant thing, in
an age of natural law and Of science. Of
charts and weather kites. Of bureaus, in
struments, observations and predictions,
that people should still ask relief from
drought in simpleness upon their knees.

wind tours" by canal Nowadays the
necessity does not exist, and the bust

Bishop Potter.
From the New York Times.

The death of the Right Rev. Bishop
Potter Is a great loss to his church, to
the city in which he lived and labored
so long. and to the nation to whose
highest interests he was faithfully de-
voted. His career was distinctive in
the annals Of church known for the
strong individuality Of it's leaders. His
conception Of the duties and privileges
Of the Christian ministry was very
broad and imposed upon MIN ceaselss s
activity in many varying directions. It
may justly be said Of him that he
brought to the usual functions Of his
calling the energy, Judgment and prac-
and to the occupations only indirectly
connected with that profession some
thing Of the conservation Of the altar.
