LETTER TO EDITOR
Editor Day Book:


The writer is a regular reader of
The Day Book, and has been one of
its enthusiastic boosters, practically
from the day it made its first appear
ance on the news stands Immediate
ly after the beginning of the recent
newspaper strike. Previous to that
time, l very seldom missed my copy
of the 'Hearse" papers; but since
then | have yet to throw away my
first penny on those ''stick 'em in the
back" sheets.
But the reason for this letter:
Your question, What is your judg-
ment upon the act of that Armenian
father?" strikes me as being not so
much a problem for moralists, as it
is q problem for little clear think
ing. The son no doubt has COM
mitted crime against society, and
should be lawfully punished, accord
ingly to the laws laid down by that
society. But that Armenian father,
in giving his son up to the law,
should at the same time have ten
dered himself, as real accessory to
the fact Had the father instilled
into his son in his childhood days
feeling of brotherly love instead of
the attributes of the ape and the
tiger, blood meyer would have been
spilled by him.
The hatred of the Mohammedan
Turk was the cause; and the cause"
was a centuries-old inheritance. In
heritance from whom; from fore
fathers, handed down directly by the
father himself. The father in allow
ing that feeling of hate for the Turk
has not only committed a crime
against society, but has sinned
against against his own flesh and
blood, and could have at least atoned
to the latter by shielding him from
that very society that made his sons
crime possible.

while the first attempt to introduce
the use of gas in America was in

In 1922 it was introduced in Bos-

Resin and oil were used in produc-

THE MuRDERoUs IMPULSE.

 His mother, sfE@ Sls suicide. dis closed the fact she was from a re- spected family and 30 odd years ago was deputy postmaster, when. as her story goes. she was wronged and de- serted by a turfman under circum- stances of great cruelty. In her hope- less bitterness of heart she hugged the hope that she could find a chance to kill the father of iIer unborn child, and this murderous impulse, this blood lust she believes was the direct result for her son. accentuated by the ostra- cism in which the lad had to grow up with it's drift into the underworld. His better inheritance. counted at times. she asserts, with intervals of repent ance and remorse for his crimes, when he was datiful and affectionate son. These cases show the primary cause of some criminal caueers rests outside of the criminal himself, and Mrs. Rob- inson, as did Mrs. Pomeroy, has shown that maternal wickedness at heart brings degradation to offspring and the deepest distress to the women who do not dream what spirit of re- sentiment and hate may deprive off, spring of or lead them to.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS

That the wage system shall be per manent form of our industrial activity may be we'll doubted. Even some judicial minds among us are of the opinion that its indictment is com plete and its doom inevitable. Still, this is a matter to be intrusted to the arbitrament of the future. Be the out come what 1t may, we have the wage system with us an dshould seek to be- come increasingly clear as to the standards with which it must comply if it is to meet the just demands of the new conscience of our new era
 The question of labor is not simply an economic question. It is a question of man. It is a question. of his in herited and acquired capacities, of his energy, of the personal qualities that are expressed in the products and goods which he puts upon the market. It is question of the kind of man that can be grown in our economic situa- ton.
 Shall he go up or down? Shall he be normal or abnormal? What shall be- come of him and all his capacities? Now, every activity involves an ex- penditure of energy. So much effect, so much cause. The expenditure of muscle and brain must commensurate with the endowment.
 If, therefore, human life is to be so preserved that it can run it's race and finish it's course with dignity and Joy, the energy expended in labor must be refunded in the threefold form of nourishment, rest and recreation-that Is, in the nurture of mental and bodily health. Otherwise. labor consumes the life of man. and he Is not able to round out his days as he should. In a real sense, something of man himself passes into his work, some lr,er xrrki io1 Ao 1-m &<> him. And forasmuch as society uses and consumes this work of man so- ciety actually uses and consumes mans life itself.
 This is that fearful truth which, translated into the language of relig- terious atonement. As 1t is, no one needs to be radical to see and say | it.
 So long as our civilized humanity consumes the products of labor for which the return snot at least equiva lent to the human energy exhausted in the production. so long is there an- | thropophagy in our civilized land. When one part of society lives on l the underpaid production of its labor CTS it lives not simply at the expense of-the blood and life of these laborers morality as well.
 We are not now discussing the question as to whether the laborer should share in the comforts and lux uries of life. We are thinking of our | fellow citizens whose wage for the most consuming and indispensable work totals too much for death and 1 too little for life The point is that under no circum stances should the reward of labor fall
 below the worth of the vital energy ex pended in that labor. From such q

PSYCHOLOGICAL INCIDENTS.

When obligations are to be met why do the doctor and the clergyman stand at the foot of the list?
 In his estimate of service the aver-l age man and woman appears to under value the services which are most i'm portant. Why should a service which puts us in the way of health, or which spiritually equips us for eternal life, be regarded as less worthy Qs prompt payment then the beef or beer bill
 Of course a large part of the re- ligious world sing with giee, We're. glad saivation's freei" but most men are aware that there Is nothing free in this world, and there is no reason why spiritual or medical advisers should be expected to render their services for nothing. Sponging the doctor or the church is mean business.
 It is becoming more and more diff f1cult to get the medical profession to respond to calls at night. and doubt less this dilatoriness on their part is to a degree due to the tardy recogni- ton and response they get for their work
 We should honor ourselves by hold ing valuable services at their true worth and manifesting our apprecia- tion by prompt payments.

THE uNMADE MAN.

The self made man differs from the unmade man in this, he isn't willing to share his pride with anyone while the unmade man is anxiously willing to share his shame with anyone, and will even toss it over upon the dead if possible
 Have you noticed when a national scandal is in the air how the corpor- ations blame the dead for all irregu- larities. The sugar trust pointed to Haveneyer. dead: the Western rail- road scandal was charged to Harri- man. dead: the New Haven's extrav- agance and bankruptcy charged to Morgan. dead! And these great cor porations when they have a fearful railroad horror charge it over to the engineer who is dead
 Guilty men turn anywhere and ev- erywhere to find a dead man to put blame upon because he has no power to defend himself This is one of the ignoble practices of our age.
 Tn view of big combinations always having goat to blame. or dead partner to islander, the gunmen and the police slavers shine for the honor which keeps their mouths closed even when they are about to face death.
 The old maxim: Always speak well of the dead needs be revised to read: Always speak well of the dead unless for refuge it Is necessary to do other wise.
 The unmade man adds to his cow ardice the weak nouthings of tat tier. and if he escapes justice he finds he can never regain public respect.

FRESH FISH FOR EXPORT.

Boston confesses that the summer of 1914 leads all others for the quan- tity of fresh fish landed on the wharves of that city. the butterf1sh being so plentiful that they were a drug on the market and had to be given away.
 The Boston Post says fish have been piled so high in Boston that hun dreds of barrels have been sold and shipped to European countries. a new industry for Boston fish dealers
 Retail buyers could go into any fish market last week and ask for mackerel, for example tinkers. and purchase six large fish for 25 cents, price the lowest that Bostonians have known in the local fish industry since it was originated.
 ''The only exception to the fish low price has been swordfish, which have been hauled into the pier in small numbers. However, the price of the fish is not exceedingly high, being quoted at r to 20 cents a pound.
 The direction now is to eat fish not because it is a preferred brain food. as was proclaimed some years ago. but because it is the one cheap and sustaining food of the season.
