To the Editor of the Evening Star:
At a recent lecture before a school
mothers' meeting the following state
ment was made: THE man or woman
unable to educate a child through the
powers of mind is unfit to have chill
dren in a civilized community.
To this statement 7 have taken OBJ
lection. | am a mother and have three
children, and have always fostered a
fondness for the rod when simple per-
suasion failed. ] have teen tires
when mild and indeed hard reproof
met with little success OF an unruiy
child. Indeed, then is the time l
found thai the rod came in handy.
There is no doubt that the child must
be taught in his youth, for there is
truth in the adage. 'As you bend the
twig. so the tree inclines. Let some
of YOUR readers give their opinions.

WILL BRYAN FORGIVE THE WRONG?

HATEVER may be said in criticism of William J. Bryan
WV it cannot be charged that for the sake of expediency or
for any object of personal ambition he deviated from a
straight course or ever had TO eat his words. In all his career he
never was confronted by a letter under the conditions with which
the cooked hat letter of Woodrow Wilson was produced to won
derlng eyes. He was never caught in the predicament of having to
atone Tor such a letter to a man from whom he was soliciting
favor. Naturally, "A candid, sincere and straightforward man like
Bryan is shocked to learn that when his candidacy was in question
such sentiments were entertained and avowed by one from whom
he had a right TO expect some degree Of respect and who was now
asking his personal support for his own candidacy. The tables are
turned. Shall apologies, however humble, remove the sense of
wrong and placate "A just resentment? Bryan makes no sign as yet.

ANSWER TO A sUFFRAdET7E ARGUMENT

MASKING windows is not the only way Of demanding the
ID ballot for English women and demonstrating that they are
fit for it. Mrs. Emily Davidson adopted a different line of
argument when she placed lighted waste in letter boxes throughout
London, destroying all the mail therein. That such an act might
mean untold loss, annoyance and sorrow to hundreds of persons,
perhaps bankruptcy to some, was not to be taken into account for
a moment while advancing the holy cause of votes for women.
The Old Bailey, however. takes a different view. with which public
opinion generally will coincide, and gives the militant sufragette
six months in Jail TO make up her mind if her martyrs crown is on
straight.

HOW CARNEGIE "DfD" ROCKEFELLER

I is pardonable in the Laird of Skibo that he should take pride
U in the recollection of how he had gotten the better of John D.
Rockefeller in a legitimate business transaction. Who wouldn't?
Rockefeller had acquired rich ore lands. Carnegie wanted the ore.
He knew it's value better than Rockefeller did at that time and he
obtained it on a royalty basis of from fifteen to twenty cents a ton.
The ore is now capitalized atthe rate of $1 a ton. Carnegie chuckles
over that deal with the most astute business genius in America.
And people chuckle with him. 1t was not by accident or mere good
fortune that Carnegie got the millions he is now distributing.

their representation in the new Reichstag will reach 100, which
will make them a formidable force in legislation. The moral effect
of such a vote must also powerfully influence the domestic policy
Of the government. A mere show of strength is often as effective
as the capture of power in a legislative body.

WHEN CONGRESS WILL ADJOURN.

I'D REPRESENTATIVE UNDERWOOD believes that a tariff bill
Inn will be passed by June and that Congress will adjourn be-
fore the. national conventions meet. but this is a mere
opinion. Others believe that the session will be prolongedto late
in the fall. The desire of many members to get back to their dis
tricts and look after their political fences will be a powerful factor
for adjournment. but unless there are substantial results from the
session by the middle of June adjournment viii be out of the
question. And there are fierce battles to be fought before results
can be accomplished.
