FROM OTHER PENS
PARENTS AND THE VICE
PRORT


Doubtless the most important fact
to which attention is called in it's re-
port by the committee of the city coun-
Gil that has been considering the vice
problem is the deplorable breakdown
of family discipline. Lack of parental
restraint and intelligent home training
causes many young people to go
astray. The responsibility of parents
in general is not SO seriously regarded
in the homes where children are be-
ing reared as it was in former years
This is due in some measure to
changes in social customs and in the
manner of living.
Perhaps it is increasingly difficult
to control the activities of young peo-
pie in this day of complex interests.
But a lessening by parents of the pres
ent amazing freedom of action on the
part of the young, more certainty as
to the whereabouts and the compan-
ions of their sons and daughters,
greater effort to provide rational
home life and pleasant home sur
roundings and to cause these benefits
to be appreciated-such wholesome re-
straints, exercised in a kindly shirt
and with tactful insistence, would un-
doubtedly save many fathers and
mothers and many children from an
guish and humiliation.
The suggested restraints would un-
pressing vice, which is to a large ex-
questionably help materially in re-
tent manifestation of i'll conditions

clouds in the distance. She was anx-

look Of admiration that was mingled
with the merriment in his eyes.

Will you promise to go home at 8

Bob Wood frowned. eff I must" he

the young man. He went closer to

The average New Yorker has long
been considered by people of the west
as self centered, egotistical and sadly
lacking in knowledge of what lies be-
yond the environs of his city. Its
business men, however, have found a
defender in the west.
Mr. Festus ]. Wade, of st. Louis, in
his address at the dinner of the trust
companies of the United States, in New
York recently, in an appeal to the
while country to cease decrying rail-
roads simply because they are rail-
roads. and wealth merely because it is
wealth, and not to ignore New York
citv and its financial representatives in
seeking counsel and advice on financial
legislation said:
Every bank west of the Hudson riv-
er, every locality west of the Hudson
river, must and does appeal to New
York in times of distress and goes
there to END it's money in times of re-
dundancy.
THE thinking people of the whole
country, particularly the western man
ufacturer or banker, realize that New
York not only leads in population, but
in ability of its financiers and in it's
captains of industry. Every enterprise
of any moment must go to New York
to be ultimately financed for the sim
ter of the United States OF America.

A NATIONAL SCANDAL.

The recent exposures in Germany of
the extent to which great manufac-
turers of ornaments and war material
have worked to stir up war scares in
order to get trade and promote army
and navy increase have shocked Europe
and the world; and, whatever the err
rors in the details of the impeachment
may prove to be, the conservative news
papers of Germany unite with the rad
ical journals in recognizing the shame
ful character of the simple and unde-
niable facts. Nothing shown in the
matter is worse than the share of the
military party in the government itself
in booming the ornaments business.
The astounding charge that the great
gunmakers of Essen, in Rhenish Prus-
STA, keep up the war fever in Germany
through the agitation of French and Ger
man hired agents is boldly made in the
Refchstag by the Socialist leader, DR..
Liebknecht. By employing such agents
these ironmasters are said to be max
ing millions of dollars. The statements
of this deputy have been confirmed af-
ter investigation by the war minister,
General Josias Won Heeringen, who ad-
mits that the Deutsche Waffen Fa-
briken, which supplies small arms,
etc, to the government, is also involved
in the accusation According to the
German press, General Won Heeringen
may be forced to resign his portfolio.
Many arrests have been made at Essen,
and the incident, we are told, has done
much to increase the dissatisfaction
with which the Kaiser's Army budget
of S25O, 100000 has been received. The
accusation is made that small-arms
and ammunition companies in Ger
many, Austria, and Belgium, backed by
French money, are in a combination to
engineer war scares to swell their pro-
fits. The Socialists naturally exploit
these revelations as an argument in
favor of Beders constant cry that
capitalism is at the root of all the
wars and the war scares.
1t is believed by many that even in
our own country there are those who
are not above suspicion. The frequency
with which war talk arises when an
army or navy appropriation bill is
pending in congress has brought forth
much comment and criticism although
no definite charges have been made
publicly as in Germany
