TINE VALUE OF CONSISTENCY.

When Theodore Roosevelt denounced
the liquor traffic the other night at
Columbus o.. and urged his hearers to
oppose the national prohibition amend
ment originated by the so-called lib
erals" the saloon supporting news
ences to the "gentlemans cellar re-
ferred to in the notable libel case.
Naturally. And as naturally the refer
ences had a multiplying effect upon the
effectiveness OF Mr.. Roosevelt's plea.
In the minds of many such cellar
estops its possessor from effective
assault upon the saloon. the saloon in
terests and the liquor traffic.
Mr. Roosevelt is most temperate
man. That is a matter of court evil
dence. And 1t is also true that men
may oppose the organized liquor traffic
and the saloon sincerely without being
themselves total abstainers. But it is
unalterably true that their influence
upon the public, however high their
positions or sincere their motives. IS
modified and 10 vast degree nullifed
by even slight personal inconsistency
with their public utterances. One of
the most effective untruths of the saloon
propaganda is the assertion that all
opponents of the saloon and the or
ganized traffic have their cellars full"
The man who stands for principle
nowadays and expects and desires 10
WELD personal influence along any line
of reform must be consistent. 1t is as
true in all things as in the one. In city
affairs. in politics. in business. in re-
ligion. all down the line the demand is

| The man who sets out TO urge a re-
! form may expect come back If he
! is to get the most out of himself for his
purpose ne should study the situation
which led to the enforcement of Caesars

In short, Mr. Roosevelt's pronounce
ment against the traffic and for its sup
preston will have wide influence; but
it will not stand as authoritatively as
! it would have done if the only bins in
I the cellar had been apple and potato
bins And what is true of Mr.. Roose-
Welt is douhly true of the average man.

one-half feet. This rate Of fall In

that il the automobile should happen
to be going forty niles per hour. and

would be equivalent to a fall Of fifty
four feet, while ut the rate OF sixty

BETWEEN HOME AND SCHOOL.
rrraynn NexSS


An eastern paper has published an
editorial under the head. "The Gap Be-
tween Home and School," and dilates
on the lack OF interest displayed by
parents in the education Of their Off
spring.
This lack Of interest may be one of
the gaps between the home and the
school, Dut it is not by any mean; the
only one nor the most important.
The real gap between the home and
the school Is not q mental nor even a
psychological one. it is tangible as /.
stone wall and just as effective In keep
ing the child at home.
Every rural community In the United
States can testify that the greatest
barrier to the education OF the youth
of the country. are the roads.
Mud-plain everyday mud-earth and
water. Is the real cause of the gap be-
tween the home and the school. What
does 1t profit US to improve our rural
twentieth century school systems un-
til they are models Of perfection in
equipment, faculty. and curriculum, as
long AZ our roads reflect the ignorance
and the inefficiency OF the seventeenth
century?
very months when a cessation Of farm
work would allow the greatest regular
ity OF school attendance on the part OF
our country children, the vast ma
jor1ty OF our rural roads are in an I'M
passable condition. the farmer and his
children are n,arooned-isolated.
There Is the real gap between the
home and the school. the same gap that

be the first step in the lessening OF
the gap which now exists between the

whenever his name was spoken AS
the days passed, other poor. homeless
dogs were put to death. Finally came
Chum's last day Of grace, and no one
had come to claim him.
The next morning dawned, and the
man who was to kill Chum called him
into the yard. Chum danced and
wagged his tail. no doubt thinking
something good was in store for him
The man then said, well, Chummy
your time has come. You'd better say

Immediately the little forepawG
were crossed, the little head bowed

AmbuIanoes.

Ambulances date from the closing
years of the eighteenth century. Prior
to that time surgical assistance did
not reach the battlefield till the day
after the engagement, or later when,
to a large proportion of the wounded,
It was OF no avail. About 1892 Larrey
introduced the flying field hospitals,
capable of moving from place to place
with speed, like the flying. artillery
OF the time. Nobly assisted by Napo-
leon. Larrey brought his system to a
fair degree of perfection. 1t was not
until the great Civil war in the United
States, however. that the ambulance
system reached thorough organiza-
ton. Since then the system has. OF
course. received many important i'm
provements.
