NO DRINK IN TENNESSEE.

The governor Of Tennessee vetoed the bill pro-
viding for prohibition in Tennessee, but the leg
islature passed the bill over his veto. In his mes
sage transmitting the bill to the legislature, the
governor pointed out the financial results of such
legislation the loss of millions of dollars worth of
property rendered useless and the vast sum which
the state would lose not only through the license
department. but through direct taxation we'll
Notwithstanding the monetary loss, the legislature
followed the will of the people of Tennessee and
passed the bill over the governors veto.
1t may be interesting to know that the whole
state of Tennessee, except three cities-Nashville
Chattanooga and Knoxville-has been dry for slime
time under the operation of local laws, the
ton of the legislature cannot be said to have been
without some justifying reason The people have
tried to get along without the saloons IN all parts
of the state and have been so successful that they
believe the people of the three cities named should
try it themselves and see if the conditions do not
improve. Notwithstanding the old plea of money
loss was made to stay the progress of the prohibi
ton move the action of the Tennessee legislature
shows plainly that the citizens of Tennessee are
ready and willing to bear that loss. 1t is strik-
ing example of the antisaloon sentiment in this
country, ano it shows that the people are awake
to the consequences. They have tried to regulate
the saloon business by high license and low license,
and by thousand and one other plans but none
of the methods used seemed to work successfully.
Now they are determined to put the saloon under
the ban.

MOTHERS INFLUENCE.

The great school of civilization is undQubted-
ly the home. 1t is there every human being re
ceives his or her training, and imbibes the prin-
cipes of conduct which make or mar life. The
child comes into the world helpless and dependent
upon those around him for his nourishment and
education, and in proportion as the influences
which go to make the character of a child are
moral and sound in the same proportion will the
life of the man be. The childhood shows the man
as morning shows the day, says Milton and if in
the tender years of child the seeds of vice and
depravity are sown, the man will reap the whirl-
wind. The most important thing, therefore, for
every child, is model, and if we wish to have fine
character, manly, honest noble and pure the model
must possess these qualities. What is the great
model for every child 1t is the mother Her in
fuence is far than hundred schoolmasters.
She is, as Bacon put it, "globe of precepts.' She
must teach her children by precept and example.
Give me good mothers, says Emerson, mothers who
show forth In their lives the precepts which they
teach, and pure, good civilization is assured.
Mothers unfortunately nowadays, have not that
care and that watchfulness over their children
which they. should have great many of them
neglect the religious education OF their children,
and impart not to their minds knowledge of those
truths which will be their mainstay in after life,
They think it is not their business to teach their
children about God or the things of God, the
beauty of virtue, the hideousness of vice. They
leave that to the church to the nurse Then
again many mothers exercise not watchful care
over their children as to the society they mingle
with As long as those with whom their children
mingle are what the world calls respectable, it
matters not what kind the faith and morals of
those respectable are Many mothers, too, indulge
every whim and caprice of their children They
foolishly pet them and will correct them with
candy instead of the rod. They can see no faults
in their children, and cannot tolerate for an in
slant those who do The home is essentially wo-
mans domain. She is both the king and Priest
there and she must if she be true good mother

Cleveland as the twenty-second president with

SCHOOL TEACHERS.

The charge has often been made that the great
preponderance of woman school teachers over man
school teachers has tendency to etfeminiZe the
boys who attend the schools and one G. Stanley
Hall, who is fuller of theories than many other
eminent educators. recently came out with re-
iteration of the charge. This is one of the many
glittering generalities which we frequently see
made in the educational press to which many
thnkingly give assent We don't believe lt-alto-
gether. 1t depends upon the Interpretation placed
upon the proposition. There altogether too
many manly men who have come up through the
schools of the country entirely under the influence
of woman teachers to permit such charge to go
unchallenged Mr. Hall suggests a return to the
master and the rod. 1t is evident the rod is inn
portant part of his educational SYSTEM the rule
of force rather than the rule of love. Chastlse-
ment is a very strong corrective, but its ultimate
effect has little to do with intoxicating principles
of correct conduct or the development of charac
ter.
If boy lacks manliness, it is probably the re-
suit of lack of proper home training. Maybe his
father lacks manliness or is too busy looking after
his own interests to give the proper attention to
his growing boy; maybe his dollars he considers of
more importance IMAM MS boy. lhere are cases
of this kind in the world. In such cases, the boy
lacking the proper parental influence, perhaps it
is the duty of the school to supply it, but where
boys are given the proper association with their
fathers and the correct home influences it i'll be-
comes the school to take the place of the parents
in the scheme of education
good many given to turing the en-
tire management of their children to their
mothers This condition is a natural outgrowth of
the family relation, but should be discouraged, and
boys should have at least an hour day of perfect
y free association with their fathers Boys need
the influence of manly men that they may develop
into manly men, but the home is the place for
them to get that influence If they do not get it
there, the woman school teachers should not be
held responsible for the decline of manliness
among them.

PATENT RIGHTS.

Great Britain has taken step in advance of
other nations in the matter of patent rights. 1t
will continue to issue patent rights to foreigners
but it will hereafter insist that the patented arti
Gle shall be manufactured and sold in the United
Kingdom if the protection afforded by the patent
is TO be continued The British patent office has
already revoked a patent issued to a German in
ventor for machine for manufacturing thin slabs
of imitation stone. The German obtained his pat
ent rights in Great Britain and then proceeded
to manufacture the stuff in Belgium, selling the
article in England at whatever price he saw fit
without regard to the cost of production, The re-
vocation of the patent gives to Englishmen the
power to manufacture the thing without dan
ger of prosecution for infringement
This instance calls to mind the injustice per-
petrated upon the American people by the protec-
ton afforded by patent rights to those who never
use them. In these days, if man invents some
thing which would, in all likelihood, prove of bene-
fit to the public, he patent the article
probably sells 1t to some corporation and that is
the last heard of the thing until some one else
brings forward the thing, or practically the
thing, secures patent on it, starts It's man
nfacture, and is Immediately brought up for in
fringement the patent owned and never used
by the corporation. Patent rights owned by a cor
poration, with the plans and specifications locked
up in the corporations valuts are not only useless
TO the country but are detriment They hold
back development, and to layman it would seem
that the patent should be revoked if the article is
not manufactured within given period
The British scheme of revoking patents not
used prevents the suppression of the idea back of
the patent, and could well be adopted into the
workings Of the United States patent office The
holding of patent right in article should just
ly include the obligation to put the patented ar
ticle the market within very short time after
the patent issues.
