but because it has been found that
spanking is not the best method of
dealing with children. Experience is
teaching fathers and mothers that more
can be accomplished with boys and girls
of varying ages by patience and kind
ness.
1t is not so many years ago that the
custom was to spank a child every
time he forgot" or deliberately re-
fused to do or not to do what he had
been told. Sometimes. in lieu of a
spanking, a popular punishment for
children has been in dark getaways
or in stuffy closets. but this mode of
che stisement is no better than a
spanking
However, we are coming to see that
the bringing up of children is a prob
lem to be handled differently. It is
something to he worked out with the
slow passing of the years by a study
Of the individual child, seeking to
reach its affection and ITS mind
through patient effort.
Fear of physical punishment. whether
1t be the spanking of child or the
torture of a man, is not the right way
to get results. Love is the greater
agency, and as the world moves along
we hegin to see it so.

BITTER ARRANGEMENT OF
MEXICAN GOVERNMENT.

just at the time when the people Of
the United States and OF Mexico are
looking forward 10 the meeting OF Pres
ident Taft and President Diaz on the
border, there has been published bit
Ger arraignment of the Mexican gov
eminent and its aged President by
John Kenneth Turner in leading
magazine The indictment Is so
nsvere that it Is attracting wide at
tention. In substance, it Is charged
that slavery still exists in Mexico and
that the Diaz government is worse than
that of Russia II is declared that men
and women are "enslaved for life by
the thousands, and that they are starv-
ed. beaten, and sold"
Mr.. Turner asserts slavery in its
worst form IS to be found" in Mexico,
where. he says, he has been making
prolonged and careful investigations. FL
forts are alleged to have been made by
the Mexican government TO suppress
the publication OF his statements. He
depicts Mexico az in state little short
of barbarism and says it is growing
worse. II Is said 10 have its Siberias
in the hot lands of the south, its spy
system, its condemnation for political
offenses and its terrible prisons. Meth
er the written constitution nor the fair
and democratic laws of Mexico. it Is
declared, are in force. The will Of Diaz
is the supreme law, the press is muzzled
and the industries monopolized.
It is difficult to believe that Mr..
Turner has not exaggerated the condi-
lions in the republic 10 the south,
though no one in the least degree ac-
quainted with Mexican affairs can doubt
that the Mexican government is sbso-
lutely under the sway of Diaz. He
has administered it with stern hand.
The conditions in Mexico have probs-
bly, required rigorous treatment. Here,

SINCE HENRY HUDSON FOUND
NEW YORK.

When Henry Hudson discovered the
river which bears his name Holland
was still a great naval power; great
enough to have a foremost British navi
gator and explorer in its employ, sail
ing q Dutch ship.
Since that time Holland has in
creased vastly in wealth and in popu
lstion; yet it has been so completely
overshadowed in both these respects
that it is no longer considered as a
military or naval power, its very exist
ence continues as part of the balance
of power and buffer state arrange
ment among the great states of Europe
and the island which Hudson discov-
cred is the center of a city whose popu-
lation is almost as great as that of all
Holland
The Hollanders have been taking the
keenest interest in the New York cele-
bration of Hudson and Fulton They
have sent many distinguished repre-
sentatives to participate in the event
To them. it is a genuine sorrow that
the metropolitan city whose site Hol-
land found and gave to the world
should now bear an English name in
stead of a Dutch. That, however, has
been the fate of Holland in America
Hudson performed a great exploit for
Holland; but ne affixed his own English
name on both the Hudson river and
Hudson bay. New York doubtless in
