The Love and Respect Of Children.

Ii mothers could only realize what
d critical period their children are
passing throngh from the third to the
sixth year, they would exercise more
than ordinary care during that time.
Not only physically but mentally and
morally are they undergoing change
for better or worse, according to the
care and at .entiOn they receive from
their mothers and fathers. A father
is no more exeHpt from certain duties
toward his offspring than u mother.
Ae SHOULD always bear in mind tina
his assistance III the control OF the
children il OF more value to his tired
wife than the presen tation of costly
gift. 1t is at this time that children
begin to notice papa'S and mammals
bearing toward one another; let this
always be one of respect courtesy and
respect. Nothing so quickly destroy S
respect for parents as constant bick-
cring Iii the presence Of their chill
dren. The first thing child should
be tauc' is respect for his parents
elders; affection comes naturally with
most children, and IS the most valu-
able aid in gaining control of their
actions; nett to that is respect; with
out it very little can be accomplished
for the child's welfare. Parents

The exasperating and expensive
deadlock in the Mississippi Legis-
lature over the McLaurin Senatorial
succession, will do the whole cpun-
try good, at this period when the
question of election of United States
Senators by the people direct is en-
gaging the popular mind and so
much SO that several states have de-
clared in favor OF that meth
cd. Americans need some provOk-
ing example Of the undemUcratic and
detective plan of makikg such selec-
ton by State legislatures, and Miss
ississippi has certainly shown in this
instance the extremes to which par
tisan politics can. carry il such a
selection with the possible chance
that the will Of the people may yet
be missed BY theh legislators.
