pon must be wielded first ol all in education We have been over Nhcimed with the flood of discus. sion upon this point. What is the Christian atiuteo First of all Is r not that Of prejudice and pru- ",ry and silence which has marked 'ur conduct in thr past
 As a matter of fact the agree ment now is pretty general that Vt must have instruction in these mat ters of social morals. The ques, ton is simply how shall the in. struction come? In one way or an other the children will receive this knowledge; it is not question of whether they shall learn or no: t is just the question of agency. If il does not come by school and home. it will come by vile book and vulgar speech. If We do not do it ourselves We are simply turning our boys and girls over to the most vicious of their companions. and our young men to the quack or rcprobate.
 Who. then. shall instruct? The home. first of all Father and mother should he the first teachers and the first priest for childhood. But the home has failed. not one child out of a hundred in our city receives such instruction; not one out of d hundred here tonisht ever received it as a child from father or mother We must begin to instruct parents first of all. and such instruction might well be ar ranged for either by our churches uniting or even through our schools But this is not sufficient; there is no task of instruction which de mands alike such skill and knowl- edge. such tact. and above all. such spirit and character
 The only agency that seems available today until We raise 2 new generation of parents. is the school and the state for it's own sake, for it's own preservation. must secure such instruction That in. struction must include not merely information. but the right spirit and the right ideal
 The church has it's share in this problem No change of industrial conditions; no Ie@islation or law ell, forcement. no mere instruction in fact, can take the place of that in uer spirit that purity of thought and life, that lifting of passion to divine level which must come through the work of the church"

BREAKFAST ROLLS

Very good rolls for breakfast may be made when one is in hurry by working the beaten white of one egg and half cupful of lard into two cupfuls of bread-dough which has been twice raised, and which would be all ready for the oven If it were intended for loaf of bread ; if not twice risen, the rolls are apt to be heavy; turr out on a bake board, and using as little extra flour as possible. roll out, cut into two inch squares and fold one half over the other, pressing a small lump of butter in between; let these rise till light and then bake in quick oven. While it is not generally known. it is a fact that bread-dough made one morning may be placed directly upon the ice and kept til the following morning, when it can be brought forth, the egg and shortening added, put into a warm place to rise and the rolls be ready for an early breakfast

BAPTIST CAKES.

very old-fashioned hot cake may be made in about ten minutes !. these are called Baptist cakes, and are made by turning light bread dough on a floured board. rolling it out very thin about half an inch to an inch in thickness-and then cutting IL into squares, triangleS or any odd shape that it forms easily. using no care to cut away the edges. so that every scrap of the dough is utilized; lift the irregular pieces of dough from the board one at a time, shake off the superfluous flour and lay in a hot iron frying pan in which a large spoonful of lard has been allowed to become very hot; the little cakes swell up quickly in the hot lard, and when one side is brown, turn and brown the other. Serve at once while very hot Delic- ious with butter or sirup.

resignation of Herbert Knox Smith he
said that the commissioner who visit
ed him, last week. at Sycamore Hill

Roosevelt, that he could not keep
out of the fight. / asked him to go
home and think it over and to remem-
Der that il he went with us, it might
be to his own hurt. This is a crus-

is little hope of true Progress in the
adjustment of the relations between
the government and the great corpor-
ations through either of the two old
parties"
Colonel Roosevelt said that Mr.
Smith would take an active part In

"'rhey denied the request of the

the weavers as suggested by the state
Board of Arbitration. They betrayed
the weakness of their attitude when

The only approach to disorder dur

management was discharging members
of the Industrial Workers of the World
and replacing them with striking oper-
atives from the other mills led the
crowd to become somewhat boisterous.
To stop any disturbance a number of
policemen were sent to the scene and
dispersed the crowd. No arrests Were
made.
