Moral Education.

l was asked to talk on this subject
today. and when stop to think II the
vast Importance to the children Of today
and. knowing as we do that the situation
calls for action on our part. and then
think Of attempting to cope with it. We
are almost paralyzed at the magnitude Of
the task. but we all know we must begin
when the child is very small to teach it
purity Of thought and action. also to
teach it kindness to dumb animals. for
example. not to say what nine out Of ten
mothers do. "Dcn't pull kltty's tail.
she will scratch you." but impress on the
ohild's mind. that it must not hurt the
kitty or any other creature that God has
made, for it Is wrong and cruel.
see New York City is taking a stand
against immortality in the public schools.
which they say is becoming one Of the
most difficult problems Of the present
day. They are having lectures in the
schools to teachers and pupils. also hold
ing mothers meetings. not only to the
poor and ignorant classes. but among the
wealty and cultured. for all mott ers
have In some way and at some time felt
the need Of giving their children some
thing to protect them from the contain
ination Of impure words. and the
direct evil teachings Of chance COM
panions. Now. small towns cannot Sc
cure their lecturers along these lines for
want Of funds. We have many fine
women in the field who devote their
whole time to this department OF our
work; and many Of US are not willing OF
able to present this delicate subject, bu,
the necessity exists every where: children
are in danger. mothers need awakening
and instruction. therefore we should je
what we can.
Hold mothers meetings regularly Ia
all parts Of our little city: send for liter.
ature on this subject. Of which we have
much. that would help them to talk te
their children along these lines. There
has been a book published by our ma.
tional superintendent Of purity. Mother.
everywhere will find this book mos,
helpful. for in it is given the "Story o.

rAE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE
eRAFTERs' RoosT.

The grand jury of Cook County Is
returning indictments against mem
beers of the Illinois legislature fol
perjury and bribery. According 7
the testimony of at least three mem
bers of the legislature, Lorrimer paid
$1,000 apieceSfor the votes he needed
to elect him to the United States
senate And it seems from the con
LESSONS Of these members that they
had what was called a "jack.po1,
which was not to be opened until
the close of the session, This jack.
pot scheme afforded the purchasers
of corrupt legislation chance ta
buy bunch of votes at wholes&la
price. XII
When big interest wanted to
pass a bad measure or defeat a good
one, its representative did not have
to go around and decker with indi-
vidual legislative grafters. All he
had to do. as we understand the
jackpot" scheme, was to make his
contract with the holder Of the
Jackpot drop in the sum agreed
upon for the number of votes desired
and close the affair without furtheI
trouble or delay.
We supposed that they had al
kinds Of boodling in the New Yorl
and Pennsylvania legislatures. but ac
cording to reports Illinois has added
a new feature to this nefarious busf
ness.

TEACH LOVE OF BEAUTY,

& The following extract us from a
first prize essay written by Alice Jeal
Cleator and published in the current
number of Our Dumb Animals:
A love of the beautiful which is
natural in every child, should be cul-
tivated. Teach them to observe the
bright ribbons of the rainbow, the
glory of the sunsets open gates, and
''the frail wonder of the flower"
To see beauty and to love 1t is
to possess one of the chief requisites
of happy and contented mind,,'
Cruelty can have no place in mind
and heart that have learned to take
note Of Beauty. which is the twin
sister of Joy.
Mothers, you who are the central
figure in the home, you, toward
whom the trusting eyes of little chill
dren are turned, matchless oppor
tunity is yours to be a force in shap
ing the humane sentiment of coming
years. Esteem not this opportunit.
lightly If your children grow up wit
Eeyes to see. ears to hear, and hearts

things, waves of humane Influence

day of mercy and peace of whicl
wrote the great prophet of old: 9Th
A wolf also shall dwell with the lamt
and the leopard shall lie down wit
! the kid; and the calf and the youn
j lion and the. failing together, and

Not alone mothers but father

GOOD WORDS FOR KEHoE.

James Kehoe of Union township
authorizes his announcement as a
candidate for supervisor. He is one
of the heaviest farmer taxpayers in
the county and man of judgment
and good qualities which will make
him a favorite at the election next
fall. Mr.. Kehoe will appear on the
democratic ticket, but the run which
he made two years ago is evidence
that he is popular regardless of his
political leanings, and particularly in
the neighbdrhood where he is well
known. An evidence of his running
qualities is shown by the vote in
Union at the last election when he
got all but 81 votes in that precinct.
On the republican side there is as
yet no candidate announced. Mr..
Kirkwcod at conference of the
county central committee last Mon
day stated that he would not again
try for the office, and there is now
much speculation as to who will be
found to undertake the race. There
IS no use denying the situation at
this end of the county. While early
lin the season there were several
tentative candidates for the success
sion under discussion, none were will
Ing to go into the field without a
definite declaration from Mr.. Kirk
wood as to his intentions. Saturday
IS the last day for filing nomination
papers. and so far as the Leader has
earned, there is no candidate in this
section who will voluntarily enter the
lists at this late day. In the mean
lime, it cannot be denied that a good
many of the republicans have been
ooking with favor upon Mr.. Kehoe
since it has become known that he
will tr.i for the office again. Under
1.-THE circumstances it is conceded that
It will require a republican of wide
spread popularity to win against him

The democrats who have labored

The democrats who have labored
since 1896 to help promote the gos-
pei Of human rights are reaping their
reward. Their protests against the
schemes and corrupt practices of
confederated wealth We're like good
seed sown in good ground. Every
time an insurgent republican insists
upon giving human rights priorxty
over property rights, real democrats
have reason to feel that their la
bors have not been in vain. Right
may be defeated and wrong placed
upon the throne, but right has its
reward when It sways the future and
shapes the destinies of a great PEG

SPECIAL WASHINGTON COR
REsPoNDENcE.
By Clyde H. Travenner.

The Democrats, assisted by a hand
full of fighting progressive Republic
cans, have forced the administration
to abandon some of the worst of the
corporation-serving clauses placed in
the railroad regulation bill by .Attor-
ney General Wickersham.
Wickersham framed this bill after
a conference with six railroad presi-
dents. Wall street knew long in adj
vance of the public appearance of
the bill that it would be SO drawn as
to annul the Sherman antitrust law
Railroad interests bought and sold
stock on the strength of their adj
vance information.
Had the railroad regulation bill be-
come a law as prepared by Wicker
sham, it would have practically de-
stroyed all that has been accomplish
ed in the last twenty years to give
the government some measure of con.
troll over the railroads of the coun-
try.
No attorney general of the United
States has ever been revealed in
just the position Mr.. Wickersham no,
occupies.
Instead of having drawn bill that
would tend to place greater safe,
guards about the rights of the peo-
pie of the United States, as might
naturally be expected from public
officer who is receiving salary on
the assumption that he is giving
such protection to the people. Wick
ersham has been charged on the
floor of the Senate with having at
tempted to take from the masses
even such Inadequate safeguards as
they now enjoy, while at the same
time giving the corporate interests
the right to merge and do other
things that the Sherman law has
forbidden them from doing.
At the time of Understands ap-
pointment it was asserted that he hat
been selected by President Taft in
difference to the wishes of the cor
porations of the country, who had
spent money and coerced working
men to vote the Republican ticket,
and who demanded as compensation
for this service the privilege of nam
ling the attorney general.
