A CONFESSION

What are you going to do with your
boy? He is a dear little fellow, no
doubt and with the addition Of his
mother in him 10 what you are, he is
as you well know, far above the aver
age-really wonderful, you Will ad-
NIT. Some day, however, he will have
grown up and will be a bigger prob
lem than now, when diet fresh air

are the chief questions. Your fathers

your father might some day be presi-
dent Of the United States. Your faith
er planned. as he watched you, in
YOUR shapeless. helpless days, for
some great future for you. Are you
planning as hopefully for your little
son?
Are the times out of joint. or has
America changed, that such buoyant
optimism no longer Characterizes the
young father of the day? Why is 1t

have that when he grows up'-why Is
it that today he growls why should
he have all these things while [ have
to work so hard?" and then denounces
wealth and capital? The change in
viewpoint is here. We all see II.
Those of US who employ others feel
it in the amount of work turned out
and in the different spirit shown by
the men. The politicians feel it and
J daily make stronger appeals TO class
spirit and passion. In other words IL
is a widely accepted conclusion.
Nevertheless, as you watch yom
