Mann. the eminent educator, delivered
an address at the opening of some
reformatory institution for boys, dur

one boy was saved from ruin, II would
pay for all the cost. and care and
labor of establishing such an insti-
tuition as that After the exercises
Mr.. Mann was asked
Did you not color that a little when
You said that all that expense and
labor would be repaid If it only saved
one boy?'
Not If it was my boy" was the
solemn and convincing reply.
All! there is a wonderful value
about My boy" Other boys may be
rude and rough: other boys may be

After sitting mass of statistics

Should Stand Together.

The Washington correspondent, Of
the Journal says according to the
tentative agreement of the Demo-
cratic leaders Of the present house,
the ways and means committee Of
the next congress. besides drafting a
tariff bill, will also act as commit
tee on committees, to assign all 9TH
er members of the house to their re-
spective committee places. 1t Is pro-
posed to adopt this scheme Of organ
izatioa at the Democratic caucus to
be held on January 19. All Of the
members elect Of the next house will
participate in this caucus.
It Is stated that the leaders plan
to make war on tn forty-two Demo.
Gratis Of the present congress who
voted for duty on lumber, when
this schedule was under constdera-
tion In the house. It Is planned TO
punish these Democrats by denying
them fair consideration in the assign
ment Of committee places. These
men have been classed as undesira-
bles by some of the leaders. who
want to keep them off all important
committees when the House Is re-
organized by the Democrats mex,
year.
The Times and Democrat hopes
that no such action will be taken. as
a prescriptlve policy like the one pro-
posed, wouli cause friction In the
party when we need harmony and
good will. The men who these lead
ers wish to prescribe we're excused
by their constituents and sent back
to congress, and all Of them. with the
exception possibly of these from
Louisiana, are now ready to vote for
any reform Of the tariff that ma
iority of the Democrats In congress
decide on.
In other words. there should be
general amnesty all around. and all
men elected as Democrats should be
treated exactly alike, unless they do
something when the next congress
meets to exclude them from the par
ty councils. Then they should be
disciplined, not for what they did
prior to the last election, but for
what they do since the last election.
The party has .bri?ht prospects for a
grand victory in 1912, and that pros
pect should not be blighted by dis
cord in our ranks. Let us stand to-
eether and pull for a grand, glorious
Victory.
