We are not very ardent admrer OF
Theodore Roosevelt, yet we believe he is
right in his $4,000 libel suit against
that Michigan editor who published a
statement last fall that the Colonel mot
infrequently gets drunk" The assertion
is, we think, a Islander, as the Elk. Presi-
dent while not a teetotaler, has never
given occasion for such an accus ,tlon.
He is taking the right course in bringing
this loose talker to the bar and there is
no question but he will be able to show
the falsity of the EDITORS charge.

and to manifest IN general kindly

the boys have shown wonderful de-

appreciation and praise.
This man tod me that he corrects
the habits of his boys without their
realizing the influence he brings to
bear on them. He enters their sports,
plays bali with them, and by his ex-
ample makes them feel ashamed Of
doing things that are unbecoming to
gentlemen. Gradually they drop de-

without really knowing the change
taking place in them.
/ wish that every father, mother

a talk with this man about rearing
children. He says that you can do
anything with a child II you make
him respect you, look up to you and
love you, and until you gain his af-
fectionate esteem you can do next to
nothing. Some teachers can work
wonders with boys because they get
such hold on their respect and af-
lection that the boys have implicit
confidence in them, and are eagers
above all things, to win their good
opinion.
Children are especially susceptible
to praise. A boy will work harder to
get the appreciation of those who
trust him and believe in him than for
almost anything else. Nothing ex-

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM

From the Boston Transcript.
A cablegram from Paris states that
that city has become the weakest OF
all international markets. Tho large
number of political and financial
mistakes that have long been accu-
mulating are now finally being re-
fiected by a severe collapse in prices.
Unfortunately, innocent people are
suffering instead of those who caused
what may be almost considered q
silent panic that now seems in pro-
gress. The market has suffered an
all-around decline, and the smallest
offer Is virtually without buyers.
French banks are particularly under
pressure There are rumors current
of difficulties in which is concerned
an important private bank that deals
with America and has the highest
connections in banking circles there.
The financial plans of the new French
ministry continue obscure It Is IN
derstood that the government will
come to the aid OF the French bank
ers by permitting them to convert
their huge private loans made to Bal
kan beligerents into formal Balkan
State Issues. But official notice has
been given to underwriters specifical-
ly intlmatlng that the minister of
Finance will insist on passing on
each individual foreign loan before
it can be admitted to Bourse quota

clares that the governments attitude
In this respect applies equally to re-
findings and to treasury bills as well
as to new loans.
