Why He Was Sorry.

why he was sorry.
To impress on young children just
what should and what should not be
done and why, is among the most try
ting problems of parents, as evidenced
by the recent experience of a West
Philadelphia mother. Last Sunday
she asked her small son, aged eight, to
carry chair for her from the dining
room to the parlor. He started off
willingly, but In the hall he tripped
and fell. Amid the crash could be
heard the boy giving vent to utter
ances that would have done credit to
a pirate of ancient days. The mother
was taken by surprise and was greatly
shocked. She gave the boy long
and serious talk on the subject Of pro-
family. This apparently did not make
the right impression, for when she
concluded the boy adder to her dis
comfiture by exclaiming, Il am sorry
l swore, mamma, but l forgot it was
Sunday"

into the hollows under it's bark. All

steam, which by it's immediate explo-
sion rips open the tree. For centuries

Human Welfare Comes First.

Nothing is more true than that excess
Of every kind is followed by reaction;
fact which should be poEdered by reform
er and reactionary alike. We are face to
face with new conceptions of the rela-
lions of property to human welfare, chief
ly because certain advocates Of the rights
of property as against the rights of men
have been pushing their claims too far.
The man who wrongly holds that every
human right Is secondary to his profit
must now give way to the advocate of
human welfare, who rightly maintains
that every man holds his property SUBJ
ject to the general right of the commun
ity to regulate its use to whatever degree
the public welfare may require 1t. But
I think we may go still further The
right to regulate the use Of wealth in the
public interest Is universally admitted.
Let us admit also the right to regulate
the terms and conditions of labor, which
is the chief element of wealth, directly
in the interest of the common good The
fundamental thing to do for every man
is to give him the chance to reach a place
in which he will make the greatest posi-
BILE contribution to the public welfare.
No man cam be good citizen unless he
has a wage more than sufficient to cover
the bare cost of living, and hours of Ia

Combinations in industry are the result
Of an imperative economic law which can
not be repealed by political legislation.
The effort at prohibiting all combination
has substantially failed. The way out
lies not in attempting to prevent such
combinations, but in completely controll-
ing them in the interest Of the public well
fare. For that purpose the Federal Blu
reau of Corporations is an agency of the
first Importance. Its power and there
fore its efficiency, as we'll as that of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, should
J be largely increased. We havefa right to
expect from the Bureau Of Corporations
and from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission very high grade Of public serv-
ice. We should be as sure Of the proper
conduct Of Interstate railways and the
proper management of interstate bust
ness as we are now sure of the conduct
and management of the National banks,
and we should have as effective super
vision In one case as in the other. The
Hepburn act. and the amendment to that
act In the shape in which 1t finally passed

long step in advance and we must go yet
further.
