mits her 16-year-old
daughter to entertain a regular caller
without lights in the drawing room,
and who, by example, teaches her to
be disrespectful toward her father
and to disregard his opinion?"
I think such a woman unfit for the
position and responsibility of mother

Not only are children rendered I'M

Disorderly Conduct.
The father and mother who indulge

Az q matter Of fact It Is no longer

cry man having an opportunity to get
rich no man has the opportunity to

by speculation. No new great for

may safely say that none has been
started in the last ten years. The CON
ditions in which a boy could start
with nothing and become a multimii-
lionaire have vanished in this country
and will not return. How shall the
poor boy now start upon the road to
fortune? Which way shall he take !?
Shall he enter store ant, plan to be-
come, like A. T. Stewart or Marshall
Field, a great merchant The great
stores are now depaptmen& stores
sowned by companies affiliated with the
Central interests Shall hesdevelop an
industry as John D. Rockefeller de-
VeEtped oil? To do that requires
money and the money supply is owned
by the Central Interests, when re
serve all profitable industries for
themselves Shall he develop a rail-
road enterprise as Mr.. Hill deveiope-
the present Great Northern? No man
can now build a mile of new railroad
nor acquire indie of old except by
the concent of the Central interests
that control all. Shall he hit upon a
great inVentionas' Mr.. Westinghouse
invented the airbrake? Here again
his invention is useless without CAPT
tai, and all the capital Is controlled
by the Central interests, who will take
the invention for themselves if it be
for their benefit or suppress it If it
, threaten their profits. Shall he go
into manufacturing and seek to be an
Independent proprietor content with
modest fortunes? In practically all
lines the independent manufacturer
has been absorbed by or Is vanishing
before trust. Shall he try to operate
in real estate? In nine cases in ten
the future of his real estate invest
ment depends not upon his judgm emit
and foresight, but upon the move
ments and decisions of the Central In
terests. Shall he go into banking and
| try to become a great financier? In
all the country there is no great bank
uncontrolled by the Central Interests.
He has. therefore, N he he amlbi-
tious and egar for success. the pros
pect Of but one career. He can be a
hired man for the Interests. He can
