A LESSON WHICH THE DE
JANON CASE TEACHES.

Make companions Of your children.
Be their best friends. Tell them
stories. Keep their secrets Spend as
much time as you possibly can with
them. Don't think that because you
provide a good nurse for them or send
them TO school, OF see that they are well
fed and well clothed that your whole
duty toward your children has been
done.
Read between the lines IN the story
of Roberta de Janon, the girl born
with a silver spoon IN her mouth who
eIoped with a waiter. Read what the
girl herself says, telling how she long
ed for girl companions, for something
more than merely food and clothes
and knowledge that she had family
round her.
It Is difficult for persons of fine sen
sibiIities to understand why this de
JanOn girl should have run away with
the pudgy-faced Cohen. even if she
were thoughtIess OF the fact that he
was a married man. 1t cannot he ex-
planned, except as the girl has explain
ed it, why she should incur the no
tOTiety and risk the suffering she did
And what is her explanation This;
I never knew what it was to love
like other girls. Nobody cared for
me but mamma 7 was stuck away IN
hotel, with nobody TO talk TO, with
nobody TO understand that I was 4
girl like other girls. If I desired 10
cOnfide a secret ! had no one TO whom
TO tell IT. ] was just hungry for kind
words. for sympathy
Poor girl. She's greatly to be Pitied.
There's a moral to her story which any
parent can ponder well Children are
not to be reared like animals or cult
waited like 4owers. They demand
constant attention, bat they are
worth every minute given TO them.

Mr.. MURDOCH AND SECOND
CLASS MAIL MATTER.

Representative Murdock of Kansas,
who Is chairman of the subcommittee
OF second class mail matter, OF the
House Postoffice Committee, has intro
duced a resolution which looks TO
opening up the question Of transmits
sion of second class mail matter by
the express companies Mr.. Murdock
calls on the Postmaster General for IN
formation about this business OF the
express companies
The postal laws and regulations as
cited bv Mr.. lIurdock in the long pre-
ambIe to ms resolution seem 10 intend
that the Postoffice Department shall
have a monopoly of the transportation
Of all matter which Is included IN the
Governments classification of mail,
whether OF first. second, third or fourth
class. Mr.. Nurdock finds that much
matter. which in fact Is included within
these classificatiOns, especially second
class matter. l. in fact being trans
ported by the express companies IN
competition with the mails More
over. ne points out that whereas the
mail rates are fat rates, uniform for
al distances the express companies
1nakc rates. on short-distanee end
profitable business. which are lower
than those Of the Post0ffice Depart
ment. and get much Of this business F.;
bu. on business covering long distances,
and Urproftable at the postal rates
the express compspieS make no ef-
fort at all TO secure It.
The result of this, If Mr.. MUrdock Is
right Is n tendency To turn over to
The postoTice the Improbable proper
ton of t.. second class business with
the result that there Is a showing OF
= very long average haul on this class
ef business, and of high expense;
while the express companies make big
profits out Of what remains and Is IN
large part given to them
HIr. Murdock wants 10 know there
fore hat has been done, if anything.
10 stop the express companies from
intruding into what the laws intend
10 be a Government postal monopoly.
The question he raises Is of the great
est importance IT, a. has been threat
cned. the second class rates are to be
raised; and if then publishers are to be
cztoppcd from employing any other
means of distribution of their ma tteI
than the nails. il would appear that
the situation might be made a very
grave one Tor publishers
II becomes more and more apparent
As the matter Is investigated, that TIN,
second class mail problem Is going Il
be most complicated and difficult one
10 handle. and 'one in which haste is
likely to lead TO worse rather than bet
Ter conditions

LET Mr.. STAFFORD EXPLAIN
HIS CHARGES.

Members of Congress usually en-
deavor to base their arguments for or
against a given piece OF legislation On
facts. a departure from this unwrit-
ten law Of debate was indulged in yes
terdav bv Representative Stafford Of
Wisconsin during the consideration Of
the resolution changing the date of
the Inauguration Of the President. Mr..
StafFord-s charges against the citizens
Of Washington were wholly Unjustified
and unfair
In opposing the resolution Mr.. Stat
ford declared;
I do not give and have not given
much weight to this popular clamor for
a later Inauguration date that has had
its origin here in Washington Just be
cause of the wish to make a popular
fete day out of the Inauguration for
the benefit of the pOeketbOOks of the
citizens o. Washington"
In the Congressional Record of this
morning Mr.. Stafford's remarks appear
without the charge that the citizens OF
Washington wished to change the IN
auguraI date because they would profit
thereby Mr. Stafford was deliberate
in making that charge on the floor OF
the House in an effort to defeat the
resolution. If second thought con
WINGED Mr. Stafford of the unfairness
OF that charge ne should take the first
opportunity to make a public declara
tion to thst-effect. IF Mr. Stafford Is
prepared to stand sponsor for his charge
against the citizens Of Washington

CANADIANS WILL SOON HAVE
THEIR OWN NAVY.

Canada viii soon have a navy Of
her own The project Of establishing a
navy has long been discussed in the
Dominion 1t has been well thTesh-
ed out on both sides and parliament
Is expected in a short time to make
provision for IT.
This country has no reason to feel
ary apprehension over the building Of
navy by Canada. Certainly, for many
years TO come at least It VIII not take
on proportions that need give the
United States any especial concern It
IS interesting to note, however, that
the naval expansionists are already
busy IN Canada, Just as they have long
been in this country Sir Wilfred
Laurier, the premier, has submitted a
program which Is much larger than the
program proposed about the time of the
opening of parliament. The present
program Is for five cruisers and six
torpedo boat destroyers at a cost Of
SlI 10000, plus - per cent If the
vessels are built IN Canadian yards.
The earlier program. submitted In No
vember was for three cruisers and four
destroyers to cost S7-25O,OOO-
From this 1t can well be argued and
Is argued by those Canadians who have
been opposing the imperial defense plan
that once the foundations Of a navy are
laid the expansion7sts will insist on the
indefinite enlargement OF the naval
force It may well happen that it viii
not be many years until Canadian tax
payers are complaining of the naval
burdens imposed upon them. But the
Canadian parliament a long ago as
last spring took the position that It
was the duty of Canada TO assume a
large share OF responsibility for na-
tional defense, so there cannot be much
question as to what action viii be
taken Australia and New Zealand
have already taken steps to add to the
imperial navy
Our relations with Canada are such
that no contingency Is likely to arise
that need cause Us any concern be
cause there Is a naval force TO the
north. The imperial defense scheme
Is one, however, that in the long run
viii add vastly to the British naval
strength and Is more calculated to give
concern 10 nations like Germany which
some day may try conclusions with
( Great Britain than to the United
/ States.
The Washington times., 1910-01-15

then he shoui5 make public exPlans
tion as to how the statements made in
debate were 50 carefully eliminated
from his printed speech.
Slr. Stafford cannot deny that he ae-
eused the citizens of Washington of
mercenary motives in asking for a
change of inaugural date. VIII he
deny that he revised his speech in
order that his charges might stand be
fore the House, but without giving the
people of Washington a chance to read
what he said about them? If Mr.. Stat
ford did not revise his speech viii he
ask on the floor of the House that the
Congressional Record be corrected in
order that the people of Washington
may have a chance to disproye the
statements made by Mr.. Stsford2
Members Of Congress are usually
willing to take full responsibility for
their statements. Mr.. Stafford should
not permit himself to appear as max
ing a statement in the House which he
declines to stand sponsor for in the
Congressional Record. the only official
medium by which the people can fol
low the debate IN the House.
It may be possible, of course, that
the official stenograPhers have made a
mistake and thus place Mr.. Stafford in
an unfair light, but official stenog-
raPhers OF the House are reekoned the
most accurate in the country, and it
Is more than strange that the mistake
If mistake it was-should occur in
that portion Of Mr. StafFord's speech
which would bring condemnation upon
him. It Is up TO Mr.. Stafford to ex-
plain
