London, Jany. l4th-Heavy gales and
suowstorms have occurred throughout the
United Kingdom, causing many minor
wrecks along the coast and interruption Of
communications.
Mr.. Barnes, chairman of the Laho rites,
on behalf OF his party, announces opposition
to the preamble of the veto ana reform bill.
He says the Governments position would be
more secure if the preamble IS Abandoned,
and if the Torres and LabOuritcs vote togeth-
cr it viii not pass. The preamble htsherto
has been unnoticed; it recltes the intcn-
ton to substitute a popular for the Heredj-
tary Chamber, after an interval, during which
the proposed reforms will become effective.
The Labomlte1, however, want a single
chamber, therefore they oppose reform alto
gether. Mr.. Barnes contends that the recent
election rejected reform, therefore the Gov
ernmout should not proceed according to the
lines of the preamble; merging the veto and
reform will, he says, neceasitate a second
election.

The newspapers are disturbed by the tele-
grams from Washington Of President Taft's
message, asking Congress for an appropriate

Graphic is surprised that although the sub

such a scandaIous proposal to trample upon

a reason why a boys best must be
recognized. TO attribute a bad motive
for the freakish and prankish ways
OF a boy is one way Of making them
bad, while the surest way to make
them good is to consider them so
and let him know that you do.
His motives will also need protec-
ton. Those that are temporary, like
temporary teeth. may be treated in a
way to distigure him for life; in fact,
the temporary may be made the per-
manent by false treatment. A brutal
attempt to suppress the outflow Of his
tumultuOus nature may make it in
growing, may bottle it up to be emit
ter, all his life, in inopportune ways.
The war-whoop may become malig-

whole nature.

When he is tbus assisted, direction

One thing more, and it cannot be
said too frequently and forcibly, he
must have concrete instance of the
very best motives that can be pro.
duced and must find them in those
people who, because of their natural
relationship to him and their personal
attractions for him. are charged with
sacred responsibilities for him-those
who create the atmosphere that en-

A Boys Motives

A boy is more apt to have fairly
good motives than false ones. He
starts out in life with something in
him that will grow into a sense of
right, and, if he gets tangled, it will
be because he is taught it, through the
eye or the a or in both ways. II
a boys motives are entirely bad. he
is seldom, if ever, entirely to blame
for 1t. There is a reason. 1t may be,
in fact, a case of atavism, in which
he has gone back and appropriated
the fetid tastes of some vile ancestor
and his parents were not wise enough
to protect him against the ravages of
the atavistic beast.
At the outset, we must concede the
difficulty of knowing exactly what a
boys motives r for his deepest,
most dominant motive is often tangled
with superficial. secondary and tenn
porary ones; and these may be so
complex and active as to discourage
us. How w can ever detach the real
motive from this tangle Of impulses
and make it the dominant thing is
the problem. If he asks you a ques-
ton, you are never sure of his pur-
pose. 1t may be fun or fancy or an
evasion of duty.
Two things encourage us. One is
that these surface motives are not the
deepest things about him. They are
not the symptoms of anything bad.
but Of a new stage that he has
reached, when new forces of the body
and faculties of the mind are being
released. He hardly knows what hurts
him, but something is keeping his eyes
wide open and his nerves all jumping.
The other encouragement is that
these are the curious ways in which
his very deepest and truest nature is
finding itself. His devotion to the
gang is the spirit of loyalty start
ing toward universal brotherhood; his
fondness for contests is the first exhi-
bition of the warrior instinct getting
ready to fight the good fight Of faith;
his Bohemianism, al %incipient cosmo-
politanism; his local attachments. the
prelude to patriotism; his battles for
his partners. the ~forerunners of his
battles in the higher interest of his
fellow men.
His motives will need several things.
First of all they must be discovered
and recognized by the older people. A
young man who had lost a position,
because Of i~nefficiency, was employed
by another firm. because they were
compelled to have some one and he
was the only one they could get. Soon
they noticed that he had good sug-
gestions to make and he found that
they would listen. He began to climb
