lPLEA FOR THE GROWING GIRL
Problem Of Maternal MANAGEMENT
That Is Worth Some Serious
Consideration.

So many older women seem to
think that because a girl of from four
teen to twenty or so is likely to be
callow and sometimes forward and
rather ridiculous in her p~retentions of
age and dignity she must be contin.
ually snubbed and put down" They
keep calling her Child and laugh
ing at her opinions and criticisms.
and leaving her out of discussion and
conversation, until some day they
awake with a start to realize that the
child Is a woman, and a pert and en-
Uttered woman at that.
OF course, American girls are no
torious for their unpleasant presump.
ton. and there are many. many things
which a girl in her teens Is not com.
petent to decide for herself. let alone
for others: but there is no reason
why a girl who really is growing up
should be made to feel that she is al
ways in the way and must be pat.
ronized when she is noticed at all.
Give her at least a chance to feel
that. she is n Of the family and that
she Is a step above the children In
the nursery. whom she is likely SO to
despise.
Here, as elsewhere, you will go
most safely In the middle" and this
rather delicate problem of maternal
management will settle itself If con.
sideration and common sense are
learned on n side and taught on the
other.-Exchange.

Leopold H.. who died recently at the
age Of "a years, was the second king
Of the Belgians. Belgium became in
dependent in 1881. when It separated
itself from the Netherlands and elect
cd the prince Of saYeC oburg-Gotha,
Leopold's father. as its FIRST king.
Since that time the Kingdom has
grown and prospersd. With ons-quar-
tor the area Of the state of New York,
II contains about the same population.
There IL an average OF n person for
evsv inhabitabls acre, in the whole
country. The growing density of popu-
lation carly attracted the attention Of
Leopold. and he began to look abroad
for an opportunity for colonial expan-
sion. After Stanley had failed to in
tersst Gladstone, and through him
England. In the development Of the
Congo basin, Leopold sent for the great
explorer and gave him $3.50, 900 toward
the expenses Of his expedition of COM
mercial investigation In the Congo re-
gion. The Congo Free State was
formed as q result of the report which
Stanley made, and Leopold became its
protector and practical owner. In 1908
hs turned over to Belgium his rights
in the state, and 1t is hereafter to be
governed by the Belgian parliament.
Great abuses marked Leopold's admin
~istration of the Congo State, and his
reign will be notorious for them; but
the fact remains that he was the only
European monarch willing to assume
responsibility for the attempt to civil
lie that part Of Africa. At home the
king was a constitutional ruler in the
most democratic kingdom In Europe.
He was active, in cooperation with
Belgian capitalists, in developing the
foreign and domestic trade Of the coun-
try, and was long regarded as a type
Of the modern man of affairs in public
life. In his private life the dead king
seemed to be devoid of moral sense,
and outraged all the decencies. He is
succeeded by his nephew, Albert, who
Is loved by the Belgians because he
possesses those moral qualities which
his uncle lacked.

What Is Democracy.

Speaking of partisan politics, the
effort to define a Democrat or Democ-
racy still fails to bring forth an an
swer which is in any material degree
Illuminating. Many eminent author
tiles continue to tell us what Democ-
racy is not. For example, the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch declares:
Not everything that is written in
the Democratic platform is Demo
cratic. Free silver was not Demo-
cratic, Capitalization of power is not
Democratic, populism is not Democ-
racy."
Here we find that even a leading
newspaper in the historically Demo
cratic state of Virginia making con-
fession that it is far easier to tell
what Democracy is not, than tell what
it really is.
Why play upon words? Why beat
about the bush?
Regardless of what Democracy
meant in the days of Thomas Jeffer-
son, or later in the days of Andrew
Jackson, or still later in the days of
Grover Cleveland, to-day Democracy
and Organism are synonymous terms.
At the present time there is a deep
struggle on between Democracy and
insurgency to determine which shall
absorb the larger portion of populism,
with the final outcome at present writ
ing very much in doubt. This much,
however, admits of little controversy

MEANING OF THE Foss VICTORY

For the first time in its history the
Fourteenth Massachusetts district has
elected a Democrat to Congress. That
Democrat, too. is a former Republican
who has for years made the cause of
tariff revision and reciprocity with
Canada peculiarly his own. and who
has been steadily gaining in strength
and prominence because of his enthu-
siasm and persistence in that cause.
1t is altogether gratuitouS to go be-
yond the facts of the case in interpre-
ting the Foss victory. Mr. Foss made
lis campaign on the tariff issue as it
presents itself TO Massachusetts,. and
he made the question of the cost of
living phase of the general tariff
question. His opponent was no stand
patter or bourbon; he distinctly repu-
dated Cannonism and sided with the
progressive Republicans. But the vOt-
ers of the district must have wished
to give particular emphasis to their
dislike of the new tariff with its
threat of commercial war with the
Dominion, and it is not unfair to add
that they must have wished 10 evince
their resentment at the efforts of OBJ
stinate defenders of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff, from the President down, to
paint it in glowing colors as a fine,
statesmanlike. cruelty misunderstood
achievement.
In no other way can the turning of
a majority of over 1900 for the late
Mr. Lowering in 1908 into a majority
of $500 for FoSs in March 1910. be
interpreted.
To claim that the result of this by
election, even in the light of the in
creased Democratic vote in the De
Almond Missouri district. means a
Democratic House next fall is TO in
dulge in gratuitous and proyerbially
hazardous prophecy. On the other
hand, to minimize the importance of
the election as straw" is even more
foolish and idle.
The verdict of the Fourteenth Mas
sachusetts' should be pondered in
Washington. 1t contains a message
for the standpatters, for the thick
and-thin apolOgists for the tariff, even
for the White House. 1t should cause
a slump in the production of tariff
speeches that annoy and offend voters;
it should increase the Presidents de-
termination 10 avoid a break with
Canada over an issue that should new
er have been raised. 1t might also
suggest the need of the earliest atten-
riO0 IN tha uonlon Schadula which
can be revised without re-opening the
whole tariff question. and which Mr..
Taft has admitted to be the weakest
feature of the new act.-Chieago Rec

His Treasurer Knew.

He who goes into politics must re-

said, for 1t is the habit of the sharp
nosed public to search out past utter
ances and hold the candidate respon-
sible for them. John Burns, says Mr.
Grubb. in his life of that labor lead
er, once made the slip of remarking
that no man was worth more than five
hundred pounds year. Accordingly,
when he became a cabinet member,
with salary of two thousand pounds.
he was obviously open to attack.
When he first met his constituents
at Battersea after he was made presi-
dent of the Local Government Board,
q candid friend recalled the statement
about mans worth by calling out
in the middle of his speech:
"Wot abaht that ere salary of two
