taking nap, or Because mothers head aches"
She will give reason and the child's hungry
mind will be satisfied. He will love and trust
his mother. His father he will privately or
publicly regard a tyrant
One of the prisoners at BlackwelPs proved
this. When he told his wrongs he said: u
stood up a bench and wanted to talk. The
head keeper told me to sit down When l
didn't sit down he swore at me. Now do you
think he should have sworn at me?" told him
that in the circumstances l believed that the
head keepers expletive justifable, though
/ myself never say more than darn.
This head keeper is mildmannered man,
and only under great stress would he have
lapsed into profanity, believe But use the
instance to illustrate a mans methods, the
methods Of paternal government.
One reason why the maternal influence and
aid are needed in government Is found in the
extreme suggestibllity of criminals They are
far more amenable to suggestion than to au-
thority. How suggestible are childrenl A child
is crying. You say to him, See the funny dog
going by" He looks out of the window He
forgets his woes. His tears are dried
In another moment he is laughing. Suggest
new methods Of adjustment of differences to
criminals and they will welcome them. Scowl
will plot an upsetting Of order and upheaval OF
public peace Arbitrariness makes anarchists.
The tyrant makes the rebel.
Another reason, an all-powerful one, Is that
all criminals are strong individualsts. So are
all children. The criminal thinks of himself
and of what is best, he thinks is best for
him. The child, too is an individualist Of the
most pronounced type. In his earliest stages he
is one large stomach and a loud voice. He,
too, must be taught to think not of his own good
solely, but the good of the group, his group,
the family circle, and as his mental vision wild
ems of the good of his schoolmates, his friends,
society," the world. Social consciousness is
asleep in the criminal as it is in the child. 1t

But Of that mere problem of the power of

Yet there is not one single old church in

do not avoid girls. And yet the instinct re-

methods of motherhood.

They are bad boys and they must be treated as

Hayes put it too modestly, for he should have

In this case, as in all other matters OF govern
ment the maternal element is needed to supple

men, nor of women, but of men and women.
He expects them to conduct the affairs OF the
world together, not that one sex shall be rele-

not made to cheer men, nor to criticise them,
but to help them. Until women help in the
affairs of government we will have not bad
certainly very faulty government.
AS Professor Vida D. Scudder, Of Wellesley,
has said in recent copy OF the Yale Review
"Paternalism has become an obnoxious epithet;
1t carries with 1t, from patriarchal days,
pleasant hint Of autocracy. Maternalism is
better. The word stands for an authority more
tender a discipline more intimate, fostering
care more humble To carry out this great idea
the Mother-State Of which we dream will need
the help of its women"
Professor Scudder further says that Mother
State will transform society from the likeness
of battle field to the likeness Of home" and
she adds that 1t Is the instinct behind such
personihcations as Liberty with her torch,
Columbia, ample, and motherly, Alma Mater
''No Alma Pater could ever have called for such
loyalty from the alumni"-which will recognize
and use the feminine factor in the State of the
future.
Men and women are not very much alike.
They are In matters OF character and methods
Of administration considerably unlike, and will
remain SO as the maple tree will continue to be
unlike the pine. Because Of these very differ

Military Seizure of the
 Colorado Coal Mines

It is stated that the plan adopt ed by former President Theodore Roosevelt to settle the Pennsyl- vania anthracite strike by mili- tary selzure of the mines has been adopted by President Will son in the Colorado strike situa- tion at the earnest solicitation of his advisers.
 After giving both sides to the controversy one more chance to arbitrate. through five arbitra- tors-two to be selected by the mine owners, two by the miners and one by the President the United States, if necessary, will seize the mines and operate them as military necssity."
 In taking this step the Presi- dentfnally yields to his advisers, who have pointed out to him that the situation demands drastic treatment Their arguments pro bably would have beenineffective had it not been for the recent condition of disorder at Butte.
 This has brought home to the President as well as his advisers the fact that the time has come when a conclusive step must be taken to establish the relations of labor and capital on a safer, saner basis than appears to pre- vail at present. Recent develop ments, mainly the activity of red flag agitation. are responsible for the growth of this conviction.
 Another way of putting it is that the administration sees the needs of heading off the ''incon- sIderate rich'' and the radical labor agitators from precipitat- ing a condition of chaos which would work havoc in the lnddus- trial world for years to come, and the Colorado situation pre- sents the logical opportunity for the application of the necessary measures and the psychological occasion" for making an example of the indi- vidual it is desired to reach.

Secretary Osborn thinks that by the end of 1914, $500 automobiles will be registered in Arizona Last year 309S licenses for autos were issued from Osborn's office. Though 1914 is not half over, 425O numbers have been issued and new applications are received daily. There is also a marked increase in the number of motorcycles. Last year 4S5 two wheelers were licensed but over 600 numbers have been issued already this year and Osborn thinks that the lumber will soon go to 1000.
 In 1913 New York had more auto mobiles in proportion to population than any. other state; California came second and Arizona third. The chances are that Arizona will leap to first place this year.
