Legislative Paternalism a Failure.

Legislative faternallSm u diiuIe.
No other country in the world
has gone SO far in paternalisrl as
New Zealand. In no other place
has the spirit of regulating every
man and every mans business
been more zealously fostered.
The New leland plan" has for
several years been Haunted in
the face of an older world as the
very last word in government.
But alas and alack! That para
disc of paternalism is right now
in the grip of a universal strike.
The laboring man has discovered
that his troubles are as great as
ever, and the business man
knows to his dearly purchased
sorrow that there are ills which
no amount of specious govern
ment coddling can cure. While
bluejackets from British war
ships strive to quell the nation
wide rioting, hunger and distress
aff1ict the land. Here we see the
actual result of a real application
of the Socialistic principles of
government. Such a lamentable
failure of the theory that gov
eminent should do everything
and attend to every mans bust
ness is an object lesson for all
mankind. 1t is a solid pound of
fact which outweighs 10, 600 tons
of fnespun theories: the human
race cannot be relieved of all its
ills by legislation. = Philadelphia

Obituary.


Dora, the third daughter of ]. F. M.
Evans, was born in Lincoln Co., Miss.
Sept. z, 1874 and died at Howcutt, La,
Nov. %, 1913 She is the fifth MEM
Der of her family to die, mother, one
bother and two sisters having preceeG-
ed her to the realms beyond. With the
family she came to Louisiana in 1900,
and lived with them till death came:
For twelve long months she was patti
ent sufferer. Several times she went
away hoping to find cure for the ma
lady that seemed destined to claim her
for its victim. So strong was the hold
of disease that only temporary relief
could be had, and death seemed the in
evitable.
Miss Evans was recognized as lead
er in the circle in which she moved,
and was always great help in what
ever she engaged. Although she never
identified herself with the church, she
had many commendable graces. When
death became certain, she made peace
with God and though an invalid, she
spent her last days begging and plead
ing with others toeaccept Christ and be
saved. She died With the name of her
Savior upon her lips. May it please
our blessed Christ to make affection a
means of grace to those left behind.

AN ovERWoRkED REclTER.

Once there was little BOY whose
name was Robert Reece,
And every Friday afternoon he haa
to say piece.
So many poems thus he learned that
soon he had a store
OF recitations in his head, and still
kept learning more.
And now this is what happened: He
was called upon one week.
And totally forgot the piece he was
about to speak!
His brain he cudgeled. Not word
remained within his head,
And he spoke at random, and this Is
what he said
'tMy beautiful, my beautiful, who
standest proudly by
1t was the schooner Hesperus-the
breaking waves dashed high!
means this stir in Rome?
Under spreading chestnut tree there
is no place like home!
When Freedom from her mountain
height cried, Twinkle, little star
Shoot If you must this old gray head,
King Henry OF Navarro!
Roll on, thou deep and dark blue
castled crag of Drachenfels:
My name is Norval, on the Grmapian
Hills, ring out, wild bells!
If you're waking call me early. to be
Or not to be!
The curfew must not ring tonight.
oh woodman, spare that tree!
Charge, Chester, charge! Oh, Stanley
on. And let who will be clever!
The boy stood on the burning deck
but go on for ever!"
His elocution was superb, his voice
and gesture fine;
His schoolmates all applauded as he
finished the last line.
Il see it doesn't matter" Rober'
thought, what words ray,
So long as | declaim with oratorica
display"

FAvoRs HIGHEST UTILIZATION.

4
Secretary Of the Interior Franklin
K. Lane has stated his position with
respect to insuring the highest utiliza-
ton OF public land resources in case
Of great Importance in which much in
terest is being manifested in the Paci-
fic northwest. The secretary recently
received through Senator Poindexter
a telegram from state senator stat
ing that the legislature of Washington
had unanimously passed an act re-
serving all waters in the Wenatchee
basin, but that before the act was
signed by the governor certain pow
er interests had filed on these waters
and urging the president and the sec
rotary of the interior to serve the
best interests of the state of Washing
ton by maintaining intact President
Tafts executive order withdrawing
the 1858 acres of reservoir sites In
volved. Both this federal withdrawal
and the state reservation were made
with view to possible utilization of
the water for the irrigation of 29O. 900
acres in the Quincy Valley, on the
east side of Columbia river, which. as
stated in the telegram to Senator
Poindexter. means millions to the
state of Washington and further de-
telopment Of Quincy Valley.
The secretary letter to Senator
Poinde1ter points out clearly that he
has no intention of revoking the order
OF withdrawal of the public land. He
states:
This action by the federal govern.
ment was initiated IN response to the
request of citizens of your state. and
In view of the recent action OF the
washington legislature reserving all
waters In the Wenatchee watershed II
illustrates the type of cooperation be-
tween state and nation necessary TO
promote the highest utilization and
development. You may be assured.
therefore, that no revocation of this
executive withdrawal will be recon-
mended without first affording full on
portunity for the presentation of the
views OF your constituents and for
the complete investigation OF the DOS.

Have you stopped to think Of

you see reflected the doings and

Not long ago you read word

gions, of the South Pole, of the
experiences encountered by
band Of brave and noble explor-
ers. Recently you have had a
glimpse into the Orient brought
about by the Balkan war. You
know a great deal about Mexi-
co and her civil troubles. Today
you are reading with keen inter-
est the proposed tariff changes
which may raise or lower your
cost Of living.
All these things are Of great
interest, but the thing that has
TO do with your cost of living
is more important. One OF these
things is advertising which ap.

a QuIckened Conscience

New York Tribune. In taking up
the question whether low wages are
responsible for women's entrance into
commercialized vice he Illinois leg.s-
lative committee may accomplish few
immediate practical resu,ts.
The truth Is hard to obtain. The
employers OF low paid female labor
say that wages have little to do with
morals, which is natural, since they
do not wish to have any responsibil
ity for the existing evil upon their
own shoulders. The women Of the
streets called as witnesses testify that
low wages have been the chief cause
OF their own lapse, which is natural,
since they would seek to offer the
best excuse possible for their plight.
But whatever the conflict in the evil
dence the public will hold to the com
mon sense view that insufficient wages
are one important factor driving wo-
men to the streets.
Though the committee should holo
this opinion its opportunity to relieve
the situation by legislation is slight.
The minimum wage is a doubtful ex.
pedient. Instead OF raising the wages
OF the under paid 4. might have the
elect OF forcing most of them out of
employment. And any regulation OF
wages would have to be adopted Ia
full view OF the fact that the indus.
tries likely TO be afrected would have
to bear the pressure OF competition II,
states where similar humane theories
did not prevail.
The real gain from this investiga.
ton is the investigation itself. When
the public appoints an official com
mittee to and out If wages have any
thing to do with the lapse OF womei,
wage carriers into vice it abandons an
age long attitude of helpless acuules.

longer content to shrug It's shoulders

inevitability OF human frailty. The
social conscience is quickened.

Chicago and the debates that will
spring from it will come publicity for

The Shankland Bill.

Burlington Gazet e: It is understood
that Representative shankland of
Polk county will introduce his hill
which provides for securing consent
to operate mulct saloons by ballot.
instead of petition, as a. present.
It is claimed by the dry forces
that the bill is one drafted in behalf
of the liquor interests. We know
nothing concerning the truth of their
allegegation, but from our point OF
view 1t seems 10 be a measure in the
interest of common sense Ottumwa
and Waterloo have recently given
very plain exhibition of the fact that
consent by petition" is dangerous to
the peace of communities and that Ii
breeds hypocrisy and lines neighbor

II a voter wants a saloon in his
home town, he should vote that way.
1t is matter over which his own CON

and he should not be harassed, his
