The Man of
Tomorrow.

In the kingdoms of the old world
the Princes of the Realm are
from earliest years trained in
d iplomacy and statecraft, in or
der that when they ascend the
throne they may rule the state
in digniiied and profitable
manner. We Americans may learn
a lesson from this old world GUS
tom. We may prohtably initiate
the example of the statesmen of
SKIER countries, in the training
ttihe youth of our na'ion.
Every American boy is a Prince
in his native land; N Els hand he
will one day hold g a ballot in
send of a sceptre, " and he should
be taught how to honestly and
intelligently eX2rcis-. his power.
How can this be done? Just as
flame burns hottest at the center
and grows in the intensity of its
heat as the outer edge is reached,
so should the love of home and
country he born and encouraged
in the home ard grow in intensity
as the youth branches forth in
TO omanhood and becomes an ac-
tive and important factor in the
government OF his native land. In
the home, should the future citi-
zen be tau, h that upon his loyal
ty to his God and to>his country
and to his home depend the sta
bility and prosperity of the state.
1t would be considered rash
hd foolish for Commander to
send his men upon a battlefield
without weapons or equipment.
And some of those who would be
the first to criticize such COM
mander, will send their children
out upon the battlefield of the
future, poorly equipped for the
struggle before them. WITH ut
the training or education which
will cradle them to successfully
contend in that greatest struggle

1t is not only unpatriotic but il
is a moral wrong to neglect the
education and training of the
child. We should be impressed
with the value of high ideals
with sense of right and wrong
with spirit of moral courage, il
a word with a spirit of manlines

and to whoever was instrumental

WOMEN AND FASHION.
They Can Control It's Tyranny if
They VILLA Clear DUTY.

From the New Bedford Standard.
But the variety and constant change in
the shops, the known extent of the dress.
making business and the piles of good
clothes offered by the second hand deal
ers and at the 'rummage" sales prove
the point to the least careful observer
that merely to be clothed does not satisfy
many of the feminine contingent. No,
to be in the fashion doubtless seems tC
them sort of living death. OF course
it is all d great mistake
We are glad to pass along the Repub-
leans stringent rebuke that this yielding
to the DEGREES of a few people who make
it their concern to create business for the
tradespeople and patronage for them
selves lis slavery of sort which COM
mands the respect of nobody and the con-
tempt of many and to forward the plea
that Ito change this order of things and
to cut the bonds that are escapable is a
work worthy of the best feminine effort.
Many of the modern organizations of
women have been cropping after a mission,
and here is one of the largest Importance,
which only they can handle effectively.
The reform of this tyranny in styles is
worthy Of the best effort Of every woman
of sense"
Women must do the thinking and act
ing for themselves, but the need for 1t
in this direction is plain.

Troubles.
From the Chicago Post.

FROM the CnlcagO POSt.
Have you ever noticed that when you
arise In the morning and find that you
have contracted q cold In the head, and
your breakfast is delayed SO that you al
most miss your car, and you cut your
cheek with your razor while shaving, and
your cravat sticks in your collar and
won't slide around properly, and the
street car conductor compels you to go in
side the car, although you want to stand
on the platform and get some fresh air,
and some one steps on your most critical
corn, and when you get off the car you
see a man who touched you for ten and
has been lodging you ever since and who
now lodges up a stairway to get away
from you, and the first letter you open is
a notice that your insurance note must be
paid today, and the next letter is a re-
quest to contribute something to fund
for the propagation Of some kind of a
theory. and some one calls you up to tell
you that he thinks you made a serious
mistake in writing a certain thing, and
you square away at your typewriter to do
your days work
Have you ever observed that at such q
time, when you want to make a carbon
copy Of what you write. you invariably
put the carbon in backward and get the
whole thing on both sides Of the same
sheet?

Decadence in Art and Literature.
Edwin Bjorkman. In the Forum.

Edwin Bjorkman, In the Forum
We hear so much about decadence in
art and literature. and yet mo- two ply
sicians seem to agree on a proper diagno-
sis Of this mysterious disease AS 1 see
it, there are two kinds of decadence, one
natural and beneficial. the other wholly
negative and destructive. The former re-
duces the art ideal of the moment o its
extreme consequences. thereby preparing
the way for its greater and more vital
successor. 1t is indirectly constructive by
destroying what has outlived its period of
validity and value. 1t Is in reality transit
tory rather than de adent. The second
form is truly decadent because essentially
life-denying. And it cons SITS not only in
the ac1 eptance Of ennui. of everything s
futility, as an integral part Of life. but
in the Wanting of this acceptance as a
mark of spiritual superiority.
Leaving this only genuine form of deca-
dence aside, it may be asserted that even
those periods WIFI h seem most barren
have their use and justification as we'll as
the work to be done must needs be de-
structive rather than constructive, for art
and literature have also their autumnal
and vernal seasons. their moments OF
the work cannot fail to be Influenced by
this fact
The unwillingness Of the human mind
to accept leaps, no less than the inability
of life to make Observation-Disclosures all
appearances to the cOntrary-nec esSitateS
the gradual preparation of any forward
move. Before a new ideal can be set up
the older one must be shaken from it's
throne-a task that is not ACCOMPLISHED
quickly or without expenditure Of much
precious energy. This task of undermin-
ing the doomed ideal is commonly per-
formed by those who remain orthodox
rather than by the heretics that herald
the coming new. And the task consists
largely in the Overzealous reduction of
yesterdays truth into tomorrow's abb
surdity.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
| BERLIN, December "A declining
birth rate, so long a source of anxiety in
France. is becoming cause of concern in
| Germany also. The estimates Just COM
pleted by the German statistical office
and published in the Imperial Gazette
fully bear out previous statements as to
the reality Of this menace.
| The total number Of births In the en-
pire has fallen from 2.O76, $50 in 1908 to
| 2,O3S, 1857 in 1909 and to 1,982836 In 1910.
| For the first time in twenty-four years
the number of births has again dropped
below the 100000 mark. while in proper
tion to total population 1t is lower than it
has been at any time in sixty years.
With declining death rate there is still
an annual increase of about $50, coo in the
population, but, If conditions continue as
they are, this rate of growth obviously
cannot be much longer maintained.

including the Black Eagle Cthe highest of
alb, the Red Eagle, the Knights of Jerl-
salem. the Orders of the Crown and Pour
lie Merite. and the Order of the House of
HohenZollern.
Besides imperial and Prussian decora-
| tons he can, if he so wishes, wear those
of almost all foreign orders of distinction.
Among these are the English Order of the
Garter. the Russian Order of st. An
dreas. the Italian Order of the Annun-
citation, the Danish Order of the Elephant,
the Swedish Order of the Sepharine, the
Norwegian Order of the Lion and the
Spanish Order of the Golden Fleece.
Foreign orders are only worn by the
kaiser in honor of foreign guest, or
when he is in the country of the order.
One of the decorations he most con-
stantly displays is that known as the
generals order instituted in remem-
brance of the veterans who formed the
staff of old Emperor William. Hardly
less of a favorite with him is the me-
dalliop concentrating his silver we'd
