No Statewide Strike.

The members Of the Pennsylvania State
Federation of Labor have rendered a
wise decision in the matter of state
wide strike. which was proposed as a
means of forcing a settlement of the
Philadelphia street railway trouble. After
a poll Of the federation the executive
council has announced that there will
be no such general strike. 1t was con-
cluded that so drastic a remedy should
not be applied except as last resort,
and inasmuch as they still hope for a
settlement of the Philadelphia trouble
all plans relative to a general industrial
walkout in Pennsylvania are held in
allegiance.
The sympathetic strike ordered in
Philadelphia as a means of forcing a
settlement of the car mems dispute has
returned to work, until there are now
only a comparatively small number
in idleness. Public sentiment was dis
tinctly opposed to such a strike by
workers who had no personal grievances
whatever and whose employers were in
every respect faithful to their contracts.
1t was a serious blunder on the part OF
the labor leaders thus to involve tens of
thousands of workingmen in a contro-
versy in which they had no part what
ever and no interest save as members of
the community and patrons of the rapid
transit line.
A statewide strike called in sympathy
for the Philadelphia car men would be a
still greater blunder. 1t would demoralize
the industrial conditions in Pennsylvania
and would inf1ict heavy losses upon en-
ployers of labor and upon manufacturers
and consumers. But it is TO be questioned
whether 1t would advance by day the
adjustment of the Philadelphia strike,
and it is quite certain that such a wan
ton breach of relation between workers
and employers would lead to evils far
graver than those which are now in evil
dence in Philadelphia.

Paternalism never is satisfac-

says the Oregonian. Would the
editor abolish the public schools

children and orphans homes,
which are samples of rank pa.
ternalism?
What fine logic this is to dist
out to patrons of a modern news
paper. In other words, the edi-
tor should have stated bluntl,
that brotherhood has no place il
our modern civilization and that
society should stifle cries of the
oppressed and helpless and tell
them to get off the earth. Think
of an editor voicing such senti-
ments, and expecting at the sam
time the patronage of these same
people! 1t appears to me that a
man who would support papers
that voice such sentiments de-
serve to be CT lshed by the heel
of oppression. But one thing can
be said in favor of such statements
they are honest and frank, and
one does not have to kiss the hand

Woman Plans to Stop
Whipping of Children

Mrs. Helen Lowman Evans, a
former teacher in the Cleveland
kindergartens, Is to start a cru
SADIE to abolish corporal punish
ment of children by parents. She
is the first person in the world to
undertake such a movement.
During my experience in the
schools l realized the need of a
great reform in the home disci-
pline of children" said Mrs.
Evans.
Corporal punishment is re-
source of the educated as well as
the ignorant, of rich and poor
alike.
wherever there Is anger and
lack of self-control on the part of
the parent, the child pays the pen
atty, often to relieve the feelings
of the offended parent.
Corporal punishment is futile.
IT DOES NOT CURE. 1t has to
be repeated. And it has nothing
whatever to do with making a
child good.
ut isn't the temporary physical
pain which is the worst feature,
though that is debasing both to
parent and child.
ut is the moral and mental
harm which is insidious and last
ing. Repeated whippings inevi-
tably cause deceit. The frank child
learns to tell falsehoods in self
defense. He grows sly and secre-
tive. He becomes cringing and
|cowardly.
"And these moral conditions
hamper the development of the
child's mind. Every observant
teacher recognizes the child that
is stupid because it is afraid. the
child that can neither originate
nor initiate because it is over-pun-
ished at home. This crushing out
of ideas is fatal to success when
the boy enters the business world.
Corporal punishment often
leads to deformity.
Temporary or permanent deaf
ness, chronic headaches and tooth
ache are among first results. Even

To the Editor of the Times:

To the Editor of the Times:
l have been interested in read
ing some discussion about a me-
dunn of exchange in your valu-
able paper. AS l think 1t would
be impossible to get along without
a medium of exchange, here is my
solution of an honest medium.
Let US use labor checks, and have
them non-transferable. AS the
burning question is to stop gau-
bling and prostitution, we could
use hours and minutes just as
easy as we now use the term dol
lars and cents. With non
transferable medium of exchange
how could we sacrifice ourselves
by men gambling and women sell
ing their virtue?
Now the good religious people
seem to be straining every effort
to stamp 1t out. Do they really
do it? If so, let us go to the cause
of the great evil. When we pom

fort. that has been spent on the
effect and the progress made ii

two thousand years is quite long
enough to experiment, and nov
the question arises, Why do men
do wrong? In my mind the an
swer is easy: nature is SO system
atically arranged that everything
works on the principle or lines of
least resistance, not even man ex-
cepted.
Now, while gold is the one and
only thing sought for, and man,
working on lines of least resist
ance, under a system that he can
get this one thing sought for easi-
er by doing wrong than by doing
right, why condemn the man Is
he not working in harmony with
nature which he cannot help? Why
not condemn our unnatural sys-

DaiWSborfSforY
THE MEMORIAL WINDOW
BY III. ii. Hudson.

John Broom had been church
janitor for many years. John was
a little, old, dried up bachelor.
While he had never received more
than a meager salary, he main
tanned a cheerful attitude toward
all mankind. Everybody loved
him, especially the children. His
life proved the theory that happi-
ness is a mental state, depending
not entirely upon acquisition.
John took good care of the
church, and was always found
working about the premises. The
old wooden structure had long
since been outclassed by the mag
nificent edifices which adorned the
avenue. That the congregation was
poor, and the pastor underpaid,
was apparent.
A surprise came when the jani-
tor inherited an immense fortune
from a brother whose whereabouts
had been unknown to him for
years. He gave up his position as
janitor. The church needed him
in another capacity. He was soon
spoken of as Elder Broom. Per-
haps his rise was traceable to the
fact that he paid off the church
debt, raised the preachers salary,
and contributed 100000 for the
erection of new building. Elder
Broom furthermore purchased
stock in various well established
business enterprises, joined the
chamber of commerce and several
social organizations, and put up
at popular club house on the
avenue. He came to church regu-
larry in an automobile, and was
