THE CREED OF THE unAFRAID.

THE CREED OF THE uNAFRAiD
This is the Greed OF the Unafraid:
Whoever He may be who sits in the
Heavens and rules the universe,
shall NOT be afraid of Him.
And If it be but a Force, 1t shall not
brighten me-
Whoever created my soul intended
me to live my life.
Sickness may come 10 me; it can
destroy all OF me, but not my courage
l shall not be afraid to love, and to
trust wholly.
/ shall not fear my passions. but
learn to drive them like thorough
breeds.
l shall not be timid on account OF
my weaknesses, but study to guard
against them.
I shall make friends with Destiny,
and adjust myself to events.
No man shall COW me. have q
right to standing room on the earth.
/ shall not fa1ter to look any human
being In the face.
I believe that ghosts become harm
less natural objects WREN one walks
up to them; hence II anything causes
me fear l shall examine 1t and try to
understand It
shall exercise due caution, but
shall not be afraid of my food, OF mi
crobes, disease. nor accidents. Against
all these am best prepared by clear,
cool mind.
shall not be afraid that l cannot
sleep.
/ shall stubbornly shut the door Of
my mind against all morbidity, such
as suggestions Of failure, insanity and
suicide.
shall treat with contempt all super
stftions, warnings, premonitions. pro-
phesfes, fortune feelings, and like
humbuggery
/ shall not fear on account OF my
past; the consequences of my errors

Knowing that death Is due to NOR
tails at any moment, / shall live ready
for it now and at all times. 1t shall
find me unafraid.

The Grape Harvest.

Nauvoo Independent: The grape
harvest has practically come to a
close. The Grape Growers Union had
shipped out AZ carloads by Monday
evening. Dachroth & Hart and E..
Baxters Sons together shipped out
about 81 carloads. making total of
101 carloads shipped. A couple car
loads more may be shipped out by the
end Of the week. This is about 25
carloads less than was shipped last
year, but is better showing than
was expected would be made. This
has been a most unusual season. The
prospects for an immense crop were
fine early in the season but the drouth

stinct of chivairy can be effectively
made in the earliest years OF adol-
escence, and even before.
Good reading is urged as one OF the
best indirect means Of ethical instruc-
tion-the most effective, In fact, which
is at present available in the public
schools. Then for the purpose OF out
lining more specifically the character
of the instruction adapted to various
ages, the life of the pupil is divided
into four periods, during each Of which
it is pointed out just what instruction
should be impaired. Since parents
who would naturally be expected to
give much of this instruction to their
children are generally unqualified and
unwilling to do SO, 1t is advocated
that courses of lectures be provided
for them at public expense. Courses
in sex morality under the auspices Of
boys clubs and Young Mems Chris
tian Associations are also favored
Finally, the committee emphasizes
the necessity of good Judgment and
tact in introducing sex instruction
into the schools ut should be In
troduced only when teachers can be
found or trained who are competent
to give 1t, and when public sentiment
WILL support It." On the other hand,
undue weight must NOT ps given to
the difficulties attending such instruc-
ton even under present conditions,
inasmuch as even occasional mistakes
will do far less harm than allowing
children to continue to gain this
knowledge, as many Of them do now,
from impure sources.

SEX EDUCATION.

The question whether sex hygiene
should or should not be taught in the
schools Is at present arousing intense
interest throughout the nation. Argu-
ments pro and con may be heard on
all sides. Religious. educational and
medical societies debate the problems
involved. Organizations favoring in
struction in sex hygiene already exist
in twenty-five States Of the Union, and
an American Federation for Sex Hy-
giene brings these organizations into
closer relation and secures cooperation
amongst them. On the whole, the
present tendency Is to affirm the need
of sex education for the young.
One of the ablest documents deal
ing with the question is that lately
published by special committee
which made its report to the Fifteenth
International Congress on Hygiene
and Demography held in Washington
in September last year, to which DR..
s. W. Moorhead of this city was sent
as delegate by the city OF Keokuk.
In connection with the congress a
letter was sent out to large number
of educators, medical men and social
workers, asking their opinions on the
following questions: l. The import
ance OF educating the young in the
physiology and hygiene of sex: O. The
practicability of introducing sex teach
ing into schools and colleges; 8. The
matter and methods of proposed In
struction. In by far the larger number
of cases, we are told, the answers re-
ceived were quite favorable to the sug-
gestions.
The committee offers general out
line OF plan for sex education, of
which the gist is as follows: Sex In
struction has purely practical aim,
its purpose being ito impart such
knowledge of sex at each period OF
the child's life as may be necessary
to preserve health, develop right think
ing and control conduct" A further
aim is "to develop a healthier public
sentiment in regard to sex, which will
make 1t possible to discuss with more
freedom than is now customary the
grave hygienic and moral dangers to
the Individual and the community
which grow out of the violation Of the
physical and moral laws governing sex
life and the sacred processes OF human
reproduction This instruction must
not, however, seek to create interest
and awaken curiosity in the subject
with which 1t deals, but me; ely to
satisfy the curiosity which spontan.
eously arise in the child,s mind"
Detailed descriptions of external hu.
man anatomy and human embryology
are discountenanced, while emphas sis
tis laid upon the importance Of provid-
ing proper physical exercise for the
young. the value Of which, "in its bear.
ing on the control of the sex instinct
is SO generally recognized that ii
needs no further emphasis here" The
scientific basis of sex instruction is
to be laid in the nature-study classes
in the elementary schools. and In the
more systematic instruction. in biology
and hygiene in the secondary schools
and colleges. This scientific instruc-
ton must be reinforced by ethical in.
struction. both direct and indirect.

AN EVEN DOZEN BALL
 PLAYERS COST sl44,5OO
Maenates Throw SIathers of Coin Aft
 CT Prizes for Diamonds

More money has been spent in the past few years for young ball players than ever before-that is, the figures quoted by the major and minor mag mates. Taken all in all, s144,5OO has been spent for a dozen ball players, some of whom have made good, some are unknown, while one of them has been sent back many moons ago. Major league magnates are always trying to outdO each other in paying large prices for aspiring athletes. Or is it the minors who are claiming the record prices?
 The year of 1913 sets the high mark for all others. So far $48,OOO has been spent by the major league magnates Connie Mack, chaperoning the leading club in the American league, has a club that cost him less than has been paid out for five ball tOssers this year. The championship infield was secured for car fare and now is valued at $100,000.
 The prize of the 1913 flock is $1S.00O for Larry Chappell, an outfielder, who has failed to startle the baseball com munity. McGraw paid out $15.000 for Rube Shauer, a pitcher working in the Northern league, d Class e organiza ton. Frank Farrell expended S12.000 for Maisel and $6OOO for McHale. Then Montgomery got $70OO for Elmer. Brown.
 Mack Stung Once.
 There are few magnates, in fact none, who follow Connie Mack's sys- tenn. In all the years that he has managed the Athletics. and he always has had good clubs. he has purchased only one high priced player. This one, Lefty Russell, cost s12,5000, and he proved big lemon. That was the end of Connie Mack paying out large sums for d reputed wonder.
 Charles Comiskey of the White Sox takes front seat in getting the high priced athlete. First Commy secured Russell Blackburne, shortstOp, for $12,- 900. Blackburne proved a failure, but that did not stop the Old Roman. He grabbed Schalk and Chappell, the two costing about $33,00O.
 This baseball lottery started several seasons ago when McGraW paid $11 900 for Rube Marquard. After doing little for two seasons, Rube came around, and now is living up to his price. But for two years he was a complete fail- ure. and termed as the "$11.O lemon"
 O'TooIe "SaIe" Is High
 Then Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pirates. sprung the high mark of all times when he handed out' $22,5OO O'Toole. Marty has vet to prove that he is worth that much.

Thaw will be deported from Canada under the present plans of the Cana dian immigration department, because in the meaning of the Canadian i'm migration act, he is regarded as a prohibited person." If custom is followed, he will be sent back to New Hampshire, from whicho state he entered the Dominion.
 Late in the afternoon when the de- partment officials were notified of Thaws apprehension, immediately In spectors D. H. Reynolds and F. F.. Williams were dispatched to Sher- brooke with instructions to watch the case, and institute proceedings to the above mentioned end The depart ment wired this afternoon to the chief of police of Sherbrooke to hold Thaw under the immigration act.
 The act seems plain in ThaW's case. Certain classes, who under section forty are not eligible to enter Can ada, or who. if they succeed in doing so. are not permitted to remain here. The law states that idiots. imbeciles, insane people or erstwhile criminals shall not enter the country, and if they succeed in eluding the immigra- tion officers they shall be deported forthwith
 An exception however and of inter csting note is that of the negro pugil- iSt, Jack Johnson, who recently man aged to pass through Canada under the clause which provides that one of the prohibited class who enters Canada carrying with him through transportation to another country may not have his progressimpeded.
 The information received here does not say whether Thaw has taken the portation, though following so closely the Johnson affair it is difficult to
