Sons of Rich Men and Poor Men.

In the reason given for the alleged
inferiority of the rich mans son, by
DR.. John Elliott. we find an explana-
ton of the phenomenon noticed many
years ago-the fact that practically all
fathers considered worthy of the
name) work hard to save their own
children from the early hardships
which they underwent. Perhaps the
overcoming of these same difficulties
would do more than anything else to
prepare the youth for later usefulness,
but fathers like TO soften the rough
places.
DIR. Elliott before the Federation for
Child Study, recently, offered his
theory. He said the poor mans son
learned while very young to realize
the responsibilities with which his
father is burdened. and, voluntarily or
Involuntary, took part of them on
his own shoulders. Often the part was
too heavy for the boys strength, but
if ne escaped or survived that danger
he received a training which the boy
whose father needs no such help en-
tirely misses.
Just how much there is in this argu-
ment it would be hard to tell-as hard,
perhaps, as to tell whether the sons
of poverty average better than those
of wealth. The belief that they do is
widespread, but it rests on no trust
worthy statistics, and It's acceptance
seems to depend on forgetting. for one
thing, that only the rich boys VINO
make sensational failures IF their
lives, and the poor boys who make
sensational successes, attract much
notice, and, for another, that the vast
lY greater number of poor boys puts
the rich boys at a disadvantage in
supplying candidates for fame and the
biographical dictionaries.
That poverty brushes and ruins it's
thousands where wealth wrecks its
hundreds is undeniable, and there is
room for the suspicion that money
neither makes nor unmakes the boy
who has in him the elements of any
kind of eminence-that though ii is
an influence, it is rarely or never de-
cisive.

Matching Chicks BY Electricity.

An experiment in Matching chicks
by electricity has just brought forth
So healthy peppers from a setting of
70 eggs, on ranch at Reitmers Sta
ton, Wash, The initial test was so
successful that 1900 eggs will be placed
IN the incubators as soon as the cleo
trical apparatus can be installed.
The construction of these electrical
ly operated incubators is said to be
simple. The experimenter used ordi-
nary oil-burning incubator equipment.
He took the lamps from the machine
and wound German silver around the
frames above the egg trays, connect
ing the coils with an incandescent light
circuit. This is made through a con-
tact device consisting of piece of iron
fixed on the regulator arm to dip into
a small cup filled with mercury. When
the temperature in the incubator rises
to 103 degrees, the natural Matching
point, the iron arm is lifted automatic
ally, shutting off the current unit
there is fall on one-fourth degree
AS precaution against overheatine
in the event of a failure of the con.
trolling device. a piece of under
writer's fuse is placed in the circuit
at the hottest part Of the machine

A Stigma Removed.

Deplorable as the affair of the de-
faced ballots in the Augusta city cleo
ton has been. and pitiful as is the
case of the unfortunate man who as
sumes the disgrace. We yet find cause
for congratulation. Our sympathy
goes out to the family and friends
of Charles A Wadsworth at the same
time we are congratulating George H.
Bangs and the community. The man
ner in which eminent legal talent of
both political parties went about mu-
nicipal housekeeping raises the pub
lie estimation of the fraternity and
confidence in the ballot.
The defaced ballot matter has been
lifted from the public conscience be
cause it has been settled right. There
is no feeling that a mistake has been
made; we know that an innocent man
is not suffering; we rejoice that an
innocent man is not going about
among us, proven innocent by the
court yet bearing the awful burden
of suspicion. And again We should be
thankful that the guilty did not es-
cape the penalty of his crime.
This case will prove a warning TO
the overzealous partisan and safe
guard of the ballot box. Handled as
it was by some of the ablest lawyers
in the State, representing both politi-
cal parties, and throughout in the ut
most spirit of fairness, this affair of
acute political interest was swung
from political to judicial cleansing of
a blot on a sacred thing-the ballot.
We thank the lawyers on both sides
for their devotion to public interests,
and for the example they have set for
rising generations.
