Don't Scold.

For the sake of your children,
don't do it. 1t is a great misfortune
to have children reared under the in
fuence of scold. The effect of the
everlasting complaining and fault
finding of such persons is to make
the young who hear it unamicable,
malicious, callous-hearted, and they
often learn to take pleasure in doing
the very things for which they re-
ceive such tongue-lashings AS they
are always getting the blame for
wrong-doing, whether they deserve
it or not, they think they might as
well do wrong as right. They lose all
ambition to strive for the favorable
opinion of the Pathfinder, since they
see they always strive in vain. Thus
a scold is not only nuisance, but a
destroyer of the morals of children
If these unloved, dreaded people
could only see themselves as others
see them, they would flee to the
mountains in shame.

STORM is BREWING
FOR g. o. p. CAUCUS

Pyrotechnics. politics, and postal
savings are scheduled for the Repub-
lican caucus tonight
Postal savings is the real purpose
of the gathering. The majority forces
in the House want 10 discover Just
where they stand on that measure. and
are DESTROYS Of pledging the Repub-
Iicans TO its support.
The Senate has already passed a
postal savings bank bill. The House
Committee on Postoffices and Post
roads has framed d measure to the
same end but radically different in its
provisions. The organization in the
House is not quite sure where its
component parts stand-whether they
favor the Senate or the House bill.
Representative today who ventured
10 hint at what would occur at the
caucus tonight are united in saying
that the House bill Will be altered and
torn when il energies from the meet
ing.
The rea2 postal savings bill will be
framed in the caucus was the way
one Rep-esenta tive stated it. And this
member looks TO see the provisions of
the bill originating in the lower house
the ones TO be finally incorporated in
10 law. But. he adds. that the House
bin will be so changed in caucus that
IL viii resemble the Senate bill in many
particulars.
At least ten insurgents viii not at
tend the caucus These are Madison
and Murdoch OF Kansas: Nelson, Len
root, and Cooper OF Wisconsin: Poin-
dexter OF Washington: Hinshawe and
Norris Of Nebraska. and Hubbard and
HduSen Of Iowa Their nonattendance
Is IN line with the ultra-insurEent prin-
ciple which ignores caucus rule.

Republicans Promise Revis-
ions If Tariff Board Should
So Advise
INSURGENTS DOUBT
REGULARS HONESTY
Attempt TO Pack Commission With
High Tariff Protectionists Sus-
pected by ProgreSsiveS.

That 1t Is going 10 be impossible 10
keep the tariff question down in Con-
ssress for any considerable length of
time Is quite clear from the develop
Inents since the passage If the tariff
law.
The Republican leaders have been
forced into the position OF promising
that II on investigation by the tariff
board or a tariff commission II is shown
that some schedules are wrong, thsy
will stand for correction Of the wrongs.
The result in the end Is certain 70
be TO commit the party pretty definite
" &c revision of those schedules which
an inquiry by a tariff board or commits
sion shows ought to be lowered
May Enlarge Board.
In case a tariff board should investi-
gate and find every schedule as 1t
ought to be, Of course. II would be
easy to steer clear Of revision. And
there is a suspicion in the minds of
insurgents that the regulars intend TO
bring about an enlargement of the
existing tariff board. in order that
they may put high tariff men into the
places thus created
If the high tariff forces could cap
ture the tariff board, they would be
in position to have data furnished
which would be TO their liking.
But the present board is not a high
tariff body. On the contrary. il has
been roundly condemned in high
tariff quarters as having strong free
trade leanings.
II the present board IS put in
position where il can make an i'm
partial investigation Of the cost Of
production and of the workings of
schedules IL viii be quite likely to
set forth the facts without fayOring
anyone.
No Real Commission.
Not much indication is given that out
of the discussion there will come a real
tirIn commission. The provision which
the House has adopted as an amend
usnt TO the sundry civil bill IS admitted
~ far from a tariff commission provis-
ion. In effect, it gives the President
power to name certain experts to assist
in the administration of the tariff law
and investigate the cost Of production.
When the information is obtained and
is in the hands Of Congress IL will be
open 10 the question Of just how reliable
il is. II the facts given do not suit the
reVislOniSts or the opponents Of revision,
they will be, in all probability, attacked.
At least this is one Of the embarrasS-
ments predicted in some quarters for
any tariff board that may exist under
the language which will go into the
sundry civil bill.
