Are Children Happy?

To some the above may seem a
foolish question, but is it? Think
OF the number of children that COM
nit Suicide There was the pa
tbetic case the other day in one OF
our large cities. in which a little
eleven-year-old girl deliberatly turn
ed on the gas and killed hars"lf
She left pathetic note to her moth
er in which she said, II killed my
self because every one is mean to
me. l no longer want to live In
Germany the number of child sui
cides is rapidly increasing, just as
it is in this country.
There must be reasons for this
trend. What are they? Probably
one is to be found in the school.
Too many studies are given to tine
average child They impose l Sc
we're strain upon the physical, mental
and nervous systems with the result.
as all know, that many children when
they leave school are simply a kInCn
OF nerves. From that to suicide is
not unoften short step. Then, too,
the rush of modern life to some
extent evidently affects children di-
rectly. and. indirectly to very
great extent through hereditary in
| fluenCe.
The care Of the little girl above
cited indicates that teasing and mean
ness by some children and older per-
sons are also by no means uncom'
mon. Childhood ought TO be the
happiest period Of life because /,
should be free from care. Doubtless
most children are happy. but II Is
clear many are not. Fortunately the
causes of this unhappiness suggest
the remedies. Don't cram children
with too much studies. Let parents
take life easier. with less rush anC
hustle. and let no one be guilty o.
mean act or word to a little child

Same Old Yarn.

The washington correspondent OF
the Charleston Evening Post gets
off the old campaign yarn on Mr..
Bryan that was originated by Alfred
Henry Lewis, one Of the biggest liars
engaged In newspaper or magazine
work in this country. When he
sprung this campaign lie on Mr.. Bry-
an. Lewis. was -, working for MT.
Hearst, who was running for Presi-
dent against Mr.. Bryan, and he did
it to weaken Mr.. Bryan. Here is the
yarn as it appears in the Charleston
Evening Post.
In the Fifty-frst, or billion dollar
Congress, Mr.. Crisp. of Georgia, was
the minority leader and was the sue
cessful candidate for Speaker in the
Fifty-second Congress, but he knew
that he had been in a fight after 1t
was over. There were five candi-
dates In the field. and for time 1t
looked like q deadlock and dark
horse. but by some very smooth po-
htics and trading Mr.. Crisp won out.
And by the way it was that Congress
and in that caucus that Mr.. Bryan
refused to vote for Mr.. Crisp be-
cause the latter had served in the
Confederate army, and to vote for
a Confederate, Mr.. Bryan is reported
co have said, would be to offend the
old soldiers in his district and he
could not take that chance"
This yarn was exploded in last
years campaign by the son of Speak
er Crisp and the official records.
As a matter of fact, Mr.. Bryan did
not vote for Dir. Crisp in the eau
Gus. because he voted for William
z. Morrison, who was from Mr.. Bry-
ans native State. and was close
personal. business and political
friend, but he did vote for Crisp on
the floor of the House after he had
received the Democratic nomination
for speaker. MIR. Bryan has always
written and spoke in the highest
terms of the Confederate soldier.
In the Democratic National Conven-
ton which nominated Judge Parker,
Mr.. Bryan nominated for President OF
the United States Senator Vest, of
Missouri, who was {. Drigadier gen.
eral in the ConfedaraA ai:ny. The
Post correspondent! ought to be- sure
of his facts.
The times and democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1881-current, 1909-10-23

ma liable case, that it is the news
papers right and duty not merely
to print the facts, but so draw rea-
sonable differences from those facts.
Any tendency in these days of graft
to draw the libel laws any stricter
will be most unfortunate for the pub
tic. It's like pulling teeth out of
a bull dog who is defending your
property. Reckless and taking yell
low newspapers will be affected very
little by drastic libel laws. They
make it so unpleasant for those who
brave their abuse that the cost OF
defending suits will not rise above
the proportion which they annually
appropriate for this as an expense
incident to their vulture business.
Conscientious newspaper men, who
do not like TO use their sheets for
revenge and blackmail. and who can
be trusted to use reasonable care
in commenting on public officials, are
the ones who are most hampered by
stringent libel laws.
