BOYS.

The present generation of boys seems to be
just little worse than their fathers before
them. Maybe they are really not any worse, but
they seem to be. Perhaps it is the publicity given
to the escapades of boys nowadays which makes
them seem so very, very bad In the old days if
boys organized themselves into gangs to carry out
some nefarious purpose, they generally wound up
by getting into trouble, and that is what happens
to boys who do the same thing today. But we
hear more about the peccadllos of boys nowadays
than we can remember of our own. No doubt
some boys are bad to the point where their mis-
behavior can no longer be classed mischievous
or thoughtless But these boys are the exception
and not the rule
In speaking about boys, too there is init
mate connection between the behavior of boys and
the hirsute adornment of their fathers faces.
Whskers are entirely out of style, and the author
ity of the father of boys is weakened by the alb
sence of the beard. In boys eyes, now
adays is nothing but an overgrown boy, whereas,
in the old days when all the men wore full boards,
it was the full-grown who talked to his sons
and gave them parental advice. If the fathers of
bad boys would exert parental authority their
sons and would be looked up to with that rever-
ence and awe which are the natural attribute of
the father, they should eschew the barber, throw
the safety razor in the junk heap and proceed to
raise beard, notwithstanding the dictates of fash
ion or comfort. The boy whose father owns
beard knows that his father is a full-grown
and is entitled to respect, while the beardless ia
Their just can't look stern and uncompromising, no
matter how he tries.
There is nothing the matter with the boys. The
trouble is with their fathers And the trouble with
the fathers is not lack of knowledge or of neg
lect to impart that knowledge. All they need is
whiskers to command the respect of their

rect legislation If it is good for a company to
submit all its improvements to all those who are IN
terested in its affairs, it is logical submit any
proposed laws to the people who interested IN
them. The ancient democracies practiced both
of these principles, and no law enacted that
was not submitted to the voters for acceptance or
rejection.
More than half of the states have adopted di-
rect primary laws of some kind, and what amounts
to general election within the parties is held in
stead of nominating conventions. 1t Is believed
that the results show more nearly the will of the
people than the system of conventions. 1t is fur
Their urged in favor of the plan that it makes the
rule by machine" impossible and that the adOp-
ton of the direct primary plan entirely ellml-
mates the political boss from control of public at
fairs.
1t is doubtful however, if the direct primary
direct legislation will effect the reforms that
the friends of the movement would have us be-
lieve Each individuals interest financially in
good government is so small that it is hard to get
him interested in it. He pays his taxes only once
year. The managers of the public's business
draw their salaries at stated intervals. 1t is just
like buying shoes. An ordinary will not use
than two pairs of shoes a year, while the
manufacturer makes thousands. The consumer
may object to the price when he buys, gust as the
taxpayer objects at tax time, but he pays. You
can't get the buyer of shoes or the payer of taxes
interested in the subject very deeply, and you
can't get the general public interested in good
government. That is the reason government is no
more efficient than it is

proper, and he commenced to chew up the fuse
attached, he noticed the suffering and seemingly
attempted to stamp out the fire Failing in this,
with human intelligence, he turned to the river,
several hundred yards distant. He didn't go very
fast at first but as the fuse burned shorter he be-
gan to And nobody ever saw a goat run
faster in the desperate effort reach the stream
and quench the fire that was so deeply attached
to him. There was a fence separating the field
from the river but as the goat reached this fence
the fuse was burning under his very nose and
he took the fence in as neat fashion ever the
champion hurdler took high hurdle.
In the meantime the remaining fuses the
stumps had burned up and the explosions we're
occurring with regularity, that my attention
was somewhat distracted between the stumps
blowing up and the fast running goat But just
as the animal disappeared on the other side of
the fence into the river an explosion took place
there and l fastened to the river to what had
become of the goat. There l found a great many
fish floating, and L Immediately got into the boat
and gathered up enough for my immediate use.
I found also, few remaining pieces of his goat
ship, among them one horn, which [ still pre-
serve and which [ produced in evidence at the
trial which followed my arrest. [ also showed
the jury the stumps that had been blown up, and
the one remaining stump, also the tracks the goat
made on his trip to the river This evidence
seemed to me unimpeachabe, but the jury was
mconvinced, and I was found guilty, Inundated,
and forced to leave Ohio. Yours truly,

Sir-The veracious chronicle of Mr.. Lyman

gether with the accounts given in previous issues
of Mr.. Simpsons hog and Mr.. higgins duck, fur
nish the proofs which, if | had had them some
twenty years ago, would have saved me the hui
initiation of arrest, conviction and heavy fine
for dynamiting fish in Ohio There can be no
doubt that the fish were dynamited. That fact
was brought out in the testimony at my trial. 1t
was also proved, and I did not deny the allega-
ton, that L had bought lot of dynamite at the
village store the day before the commission of the
outrage. And since the fish had been dynamited,
what could have been more natural than that [
should enter my flatboat and gather up the fish
and use them for food Il l did this, and 1 ac-
knowledged it at the trial.
The way it all happened l explained at the
trial, but the Judge and jury only smiled at my
narration l cannot remember the testimony, but
the facts in the case are these In the big field
next to the river l had sawed down number of
walnut trees during the winter, and when spring
opened Just before the blowing season, decid-
ed to blow out the stumps. Accordingly went
to town, bought the dynamite and fuses and set
to work When everything was ready person
ally lit the fuses and scampered to reach safe
distance When 1 had run some hundred and
fifty yards to the fence l perched myself up on
the top rail to watch the fireworks. You can
well imagine my surprise therefore, when, upon
looking back at the stumps to find our pet goat
very diligently chewing up a stick of dynamite to
which burning fuse attached. 1t certainly was
to how po+i f1v +ba II
stored away the dynamite as if it were a choice
dainty but the denouement of the affair so
ruined my reputation for veracity that I had to

ton. The well-founded precedent established by
Washington against third term and the disaster
that overcame President Grant In his efforts to

to failure any attempt at Second elective term
But there's telling what the future has in store
for him. Roosevelt is popular with the people
and the people very much like a flock of sheep
in following their leader. But even at that. they
might go farther and fare worse by choosing some
else for the highest office in the gift of the

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.

The closing exercises of st. Marys of the As
sumption in Park City took place on last Friday.
1t was the twenty-eighth closing annual exercise
Twenty-eight years ago How these twenty-eight
years have fled! Many of the fathers and moth
ers in Park City today remember the first closing
exercise there yes, remember it, for they not
children then, and did they not take part in these
exercises with all boys and girls simplicity, pur
ity and faithl Catholic parents of Park City,
when you we're at school you learned the lessons
that fitted you for walk in life, but you learned
most of all the lesson which fitted you for a walk
in eternity.
The faith that is in you today was sown in st.
Marys school. You know it, and you feel it, for
you are today the old oaks of faith in Park City.
We fear not for you and fear not for your
children if you take them by the hand and make
them walk the steps you have walked. Make them
to Catholic parents these words may sound i'm
perious-no' we will not use them, for the true
Catholic parents that have known take their
little ones by the hand and whisper to them:
Learn the Our Father and Hail Mary, and the
truth, the justice, the mercy of the living God,
and after that you learn the sciences of time.
All who had the happy privilege of Witnessing
the closing exercises of 1910 were loud in their
praises of the work of the Sisters and of the pro-
fcency of the children. The various items were
rendered in a manner which evoked applause even
from the severest critic. In our last weeks issue
we gave the program rendered. At the close of the
exercises the esteemed pastor, Rev. Father CALI
gan, "complimented the pupils and teachers for
the successful elimination of the years work."
dwelling especially on the importance of Christian
education. "Unless the Lord build the house, vain
do they labour who build it."
"The Sisters" he said, gave polish and re-
finement which not possible in all schools"
The reverend gentleman was right, for in ST.
Marys schools are taught the justice, the truth,
the love and the mercy of God, and on these hang
solely polish and refinement in the true sense
Without Christ child may know all the sciences,
but what is he, after all? He has in him only the
materialistic man. In conclusion, the pastor
urged the pupils to continue in knowledge, but
in all their study to be prayerful and God-fearng"
Here again the reverend pastors words sound
ed note of warning, for unless children are told
of God and His truth they will neither be prayer
full nor God-fearing, and in school nowadays apart
from those which are under Catholic influence are
taught great deal about the science of the world
nd nothing about God.
We compliment the Catholic people of Park
City upon their having such an excellent school in
their midst school which will prepare their chill
dren for their walk through time and oh what is
of vital Importance to all parents who love their
children with their very hearts blood-a school to
prepare their little for their walk in eternity

DIRECT PRIMARIES.

When half dozen band themselves to-
gether into partnership to conduct some bust
ness enterprise, they seldom take an important
step without consulting the whole crowd. They
get together, discuss the merits and dement's of
any proposed action and act accordingly That
principle, it is contended, should be followed in
conducting the public business, and it is repre-
scented in the direct primary laws which are grow
ing in popularity. The company of six practice
