ed in the home as well as In places Of
general assembls8e. There Is a wide
field for constructive EFFORT on the part
OF practical social missionaries in the
proper instruction of parents. The do
nestle rod may be less used today than
ever before. but punishments are never
theless inflicted as unwiseiy. though per-
haps not so effectively, as in the old
days. when physical chastisement was
the sole means of enforcing parental
lessons The child Is put to bed without
its supper or kept indoors or slapped
or forced; to do some unpleasant task.
Petty cruelties are practiced, small but
keenly painful humiliations are imposed.
Seldom Is an unruly boy considered as
a problem to be solved after careful
study. He is regarded rather as a
source Of personal irritation.
One of the troubles in. this direction
lies in the fact that parents do not suf-
fciently associate with their children on
a plane Of equality and social enjoyment.
The adults are busy with their pleasures
and occupations, and the children are
left to their own devices. Parental COM
municatiors are to an unfortunate de-
gree confined to corrections. limitations
and admonitions. Winning the chi!d's
confidence is the first important step to;
take, and in that relationship the teach
ing Of lessons through punishments or
otherwise Is far easier.

DR.. Cook explains in London that he

France appears to have weathered the

The Jersey Campaign.

The campaign in New Jersey is one of
the most interesting the state has ever
known. 1t is pitched In a much higher
key than ordinary. and this Of itself Is
helping to swell the crowds at the meet
ings. Mr.. Wilson. the democratic can
didate. and Mr.. Lewis. the republican
candidate, for governor cherish high re-
spect for each other, and keep their
speeches free from offensive personalities.
They are talking business" and in terms
the people understand and give evidence
Of approaching.
AS a stumper Mr.. Wilson is surprise
to both friends and foes. He buckles down
to the work like an old hand. Those
who expected to see the scholar and edu-
Gator. with a love for the library and
the classroom. stammer and hesitate on
not know the man. He has the vocabulary
OF the day as pat as the man OF the
world, and is talking politics to politicians
in the language Of the tribe And so far
from being as stiff 'as a ramrod and as
ceremonious as a court chamberlain. he
can shake hands like a drummer" and
chat like a schoolboy.
Mr.. Wilson's friends express confidence
in the result, and go even beyond the
present contest. They see him not only
the next Governor of New Jersey, but
the next democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, with excellent chances OF election
as against either Mr.. Taft or any other
republican. They expect him to grow In
local Office until he becomes a command

Some very strong men placed In

Portugal Recognized.

When will the United States govern
ment formally recognize the Republic
of Portugal? That country has been now
organized for some days, not long
time in terms of old-fashioned diplo-
macy. but nevertheless quite a spell. as
the country folks say, in view OF the fact
that this is cablegram and wireless
age, and news travels with the speed
Of the electric spark. Yesterday In New
York, q fraction Of the United States
government took Official cognizAnce that
there is q republic in Portugal. This
was the officer in charge of the natural
ization bureau of the federal circuit

fore him came a man who two years

possession. He was then rated by the
immigration officials as q subject Of the
King of Portugal. Yesterday he applied
for his FIRST papers in the process of
becoming a citizen Of the United States.

Of this work to take an oath renouncing

Mr.. Donovan to call upon. an intelligent

short cut to the sensible course and

antagonistc as regards one another,
are nevertheless united in purpose to
weaken the republic. But they must
at the same time work carefully to pre-
vent the overturn in the direction OF
still further departure from the monar-
chfcal rule. Their only hope in the
event of the success of what IL with
characteristic French Indebtedness known
as the revolution would lie in the ulti-
mate collapse Of this ultra-popular rule
and reaction toward monarchism. Thus
the republic stands unfortunately between
the incapacity Of the wiid-eyed scream
ers who want a change without knowing
precisely to what it may lead, and the
mutually. distrustful, naturally antag-
onistic Bonapartists and legitimists. These
conditions cause the government serious
uneasiness, and give q perhaps fictitious
significance to every militant industrial
movement like this apparently expiring
railroad strike.
1t Is reassuring to the friends Of the
French republic to find in M. BRAND q
man of strength. This was his most
severe test since taking ONCE. He proved
himself capable Of meeting the situation
masterfully. He summoned the strikers

position of defense and explanation. He
then caused the arrest Of the immediate
leaders Of the strike. and sent forth war
rants for the arrest of scores of others.
He stationed troops at the strategic
points in Paris and held the crowds I'M
der control. He allowed the strikers to
meet. but dispersed them after leaving
their gathering places. Meanwhile he
proceeded with negotiations with the rail-
road companies to secure. il possible.
measure of relief for the underpaid en-
ployes. Thus by a series Of swift move
ments he has thus far reduced the strike
to much smaller proportions than at first
seemed inevitable A less capable or
courageous man would probably have
temporized. made speeches. appealed to
the patriotism of the strikers, and finally
been forced to surrender or to employ
belated and far more costly force.

The Domestic Pistol.

How many domestic pistols will be dis
carded and destroyed as result of the
deplorable tragedy in this city the other
evening when young woman was acct
dentally shot by her brother while he was
cleaning an old revolver? There have
been such warnings before that pistols
are dangerous things to handle I'm COM
pany. and yet there are hundreds of these
utterly useless deadly weapons tucked
away in closets, bureaus, trunks and
other hiding places. where they are sup
pOsedly safe, but where they are obvious
ly OF no value whatever as means of
quick defense in emergencies. The house.
hold pistol is about as badly needed. in
point of fact, front-yard cannon
and it is much more of a menace.
Probably not more than one out of
a dozen of the owners of such
guns know how to handle them safely
and smaller number can fire them
effectively. The percentage of danger
from malicious invasion is too small to
be reckoned against the risk of having
an instrument of death in the house
where il may be reached by child or
by an angry person intent upon murder
or suicide. Taking all the chances into
consideration it is evident that the house.
hold without gun is more secure than
oae that is supplied with one. The knowl-
edge on the part of a would-be burglar
that a residence is gunless does not at
tract him as against the house where he
knows a pistol is kept He goes after
loot, and he seeks it where he thinks he
can find it. He matches his skill and
quiet activity against the slumbers of the
inmates, not against their possession or
nOn-possession of a weapon. Thus the
domestic pistol loses value as even
against the trespasser. 1t has killed
many more innocent people than law.

Cruelty to and BY Children.

thing as innate cruelty. q tempera-

ties. however are durable. Unfortunately
few teachers and parents take the prop
er method of bringing the cruel child to

duct. He Is scolded or whipped or de-
prived Of some pleasure. whereas per-

The Presidents Vacation.

1t is announced that the President s
vacation is ended. But has he yet had a
real vacation? Beverly has seen many
politicians in the past few months, come
of course to talk politics and patronage
with the leading summer resident; and
none has been denied an audience. Mr..
Taft has had his golf and his motor rides.
But he has them In Washington. Much
of his time al the seashore has been given
up TO conferences and office work just
as when he is in residence at the White
House.
1t is more correct TO say that Mr..
Taft's vacation IS just beginning When
he gets back here he will enjoy little
breathing spell. The politicians are all at
home very busy. The times are stirring
everywhere. and men in Office and out
are finding il necessary 10 remain close
TO base \ trip to Washington for the
purpose of talking politics or soliciting
patronage is not now possible.
But this vacation will last only three
weeks. After voting in Cincinnati, Mr..
Taft will start for Panama, and upon re-
turning from the isthmus will plunge at
once into work of the routine kind. Con-
sress will be close at hand. the town
will rapidly fill up with statesmen and
their friends. and the President will find
use for every one of his waking mo-
ments.

White House has always been difficult.
