Parental Responsibility.

Where is your boy spending the
evening, and do you know who your
girl is with tonight? OF course, your
boy and girl are all right and can
take care OF themselves, aud 1t is
senseless to ask such a question of
you concerning either of them. Ger
tainly they ought to be able to look
out for themselves by this time be-
cause they have had ample oppor-
tunity to learn how to do 1t. But do
you know where either of them are
tonight? 1t might be worth your
while TO be sure. In commenting up
on the laxity of parents in their re-
gard the Des Moines Register says
editorally:
After an automobile accident in
New Jersey recently, ain which two
young girls and their escorts were
plunged into canal and drowned.
one hundred and thirty anxious
mothers called at the police station
to ascertain whether the girls were
their own daughters.
The incident carries its own moral.
That there were that many mothers
in the city of Trenton who knew moth
ing of their daughters whereabouts
at the time of the accident, were
even unable to discover their prob
able safety except by a visit to the
morgue to gaze upon the faces of the
victims illustrates the criminal laxi-
ty Of too many mothers.
@ oil 10
same the country over. And too
many tragedies of this sort are only
more spectacular and widely adver,
| tised than hundreds of others even
more pitiful and disastrous in their
ultimate effect.
Whatever else women accomplish
or aspire to accomplish, they can
never escape the fundamental re
sponsibilities Of motherhood which II
they are willing to assume they
should not shirk because of careless
unconcern or cowardly selfshness OF
| frivolous indiscretion."
And the father OF the family has
his duty brought home TO him by 9
writer in the New York Mail, who In
| uAnNuoSihb piOpOSSu CullCn Oiui
nance takes occasion to say:
Know where the children are. II
is a rule that would save many q
shipwreck of older children. Regard
il not as a relief that the children
are "out from under foot and taking
care of themselves" II is an alarm
instead OF a relief. The father may
return home tired out. but the boy
who gets really astray will yet tire
him more. The State appoints fol
the orphan guardian" The name
tells in a word. the most important
function of parentage. If all parents
were real guardians the State would
be better infinitely"
Where is your boy spending his
evenings. and do you know who your

Governor Mead was luncheon

He assured President Taft that YER

At the Chicago convention. In SO
doing Governor Mead voiced the
sober sense OF the state he has the
honor to represent.-St. Johnsbury
Republican.
What right has the governor or any
other man to make positive assur-
ance on the subject? OF course any
man has a right to his opinion and
the opinion of Governor Mead, or any
other governor, is entitled to more
consideration than that OF an average
citizen for he is in position to form
a more accurate judgment, but after
all, his assurance" could mean only
his individual opinion. We are not
disputing the claim that vermont is
for Taft" and shouldn't be at all sur
prised If II was, but the eager energy
with which the Taft supporters de-
clare that Vermont is all on their
side almost leads to the inference
that they are whistling to keep up
their courage. Vermont caucuses Will
be held on the presidential issue
along about the first week in April at
which time the Republican voters
will have a chance to say for them
selves who they prefer for candi-
date. Nobody who will 20 around
and talk with Republican voters OF
diversified business and varying
ranks OF life can say truthfully that
Vermont sentiment is all one way.
Is there any leader or would'be
leader who plans to dictate in ad-
vance what Vermont Republicans de-
sire? Is there any who is not willing

jority rule on this and all other mat

RoossvELT's CANDIDACY

Former President Roosevelt will
accept the nomination If it is tender
ed him. is his answer to the letter Of
seven Republican governors who ap-
pealed to him to become candidate.
It probably won't be rendered him,
but the canvass is sure to be a pic
turesque one from now out. Roose-
welt now will force the fighting and
there will be no let up until the con
vention decides the question next
June.
On the whole, the contest that is
sure to develop is likely to prove ben
ehcial to the Republican party The
lethargy that has peryaded the party
is likely to be thrown off and more
Republican votes will be polled next
November than had President Taft
been renominated without protest.
Roosevelts candidacy will help
Taft in some parts of the country and
especially in New England. The
real battle will be fought in the cen
trail and western states and Roose-
welt must get practically all OF these
states to win, for the south is in the
hands of the administration and Will
give Taft delegates, while most OF
those from the east will be his.
The Banner hopes Roosevelt VIII DC
nominated, chiefly because he can al
most surely be elected, while the
chances are against Taft at the
November polls.
There are, however, other reasons
Roosevelt is industrious, while Tar
is indolent. Roosevelt is aggressive
while Taft is passive. Roosevelt WI
force the fighting, while Taft will dC
almost anything to avoid a fight ah'
there is nothing like fight to brlnt
out the truth, and help the pubic L
know and understand. Both are non
est and patriotic American citizens
and no honest man or honest ousl
ness has anything to fear from eithe
OF them.
Vermont Republicans are prooapi!
pretty evenly divided between Tar
and Roosevelt, and there is no ques
ton but that whichever of them Il
nominated will be loyalty supported II
this state. Most of the politicians Il
| this section, and probably throughou
| the state, are for Taft and most o
| the newspapers are for him. 1t seem
likely. therefore, that the Vernon
delegation to the Chicago convention
viii support the president for renom
nation.

CARBONIDE TANK
EXPLODES; 4 INJURED

Eddyville, Nov. 11.-Mrs. J. Black
wood and four children were quite
badly burned about the face and head
on Friday evening as the result Of an
explosion of a carbonide tank which
had recently been placed in the Black
wood home for lighting purposes.
In the evening when the lights
failed Roy the Oldest son went with q
lantern to examine the tank and find
out the trouble. He was seriously
burned and the mother and three
smaller children were also burned
about the face. This lighting plant
had been placed in the new home about
three weeks ago.
