When lawyer wishes to arouse jury's com passion for a client he 1nVarlaplN speaks of the effects of conviction on the mother. Poets, dramatlsts, ana fiction writers of all ages have united
 in honoring her name. Days have been set aside in her honor, pensions are given her, flowers named for her, societies founded for her. All this is we'll The world would be a sorry world, indeed, if it were not so. But Is there not danger of father being overlooked in the shuffle? The aver age father succeeds pretty well in discharging his duty to society. He labors along persstently and quietly for six days a week that his family may be provided for; he stands be- tween his family and the world, shouldering the responsibility of the rent, the taxes, the grocery and the coal bill he admonshes the boy and advises mother, seeking always to make their burden lighter; he works unceasingly, without complaint, fight ing, scheming, suffering, to the one end that his family may be assured comfort and independence. In this he sometimes fails, but he keeps on trying, cheerfullY. stOlidly, stubbornIy plugging along to the end.
 The sacrifices that must be made he makes willingly. The boy must go to college and the girl must have music lessons; something must be cut and usually it is some Luxury of fathers that perishes by the wavside He is not so poetical a figure as

"A FREE COUNTRY" ]"

It is not such a far cry from ob- scurity to notoriety. Men and places have strange way of Jumping from absolute darkness to the glamor of the limelight. For proof of this wit ness Winnetka, H., and George Burkitt. Until the past week Win netka was known only to a few rail- road folk and some travelling sales men and Burl1itt, we'll he at least claimed some friends in the postoffice department for as assistant postmas- ter of Winnetka he must have had some following. But now George Burkitt's name is known the country over and the postoffice with which he had the honor of being connected has become a beacon light in the po
 litical arena. And all because the himself to criticise the Chief Execu- tive of the nation in regard to the simple little matter of matrimony. As a result of some of Georges uncen- sored remarks he was summarily dis missed from his post as assistant by the postmaster of Winnetka. His case was then brought before the President of the United States who, from the goodness of his heart, re- fused to consider the utterances of Burkitt in the light of crime, and or dered the Postmaster General to put George back on the postal payroll. What sort of republic is this get ting to be anyway when man cannot criticise any person, place or thing he chooses? What Is happening to our democracy when a little thing like disrespect to the President of the United States from a government em- ploye will merit the rebuke that was of men are growing beyond compre- hension. President Wilson strikes a deadly blow at prudishness when he refuses to allow Burkitt to lose his position because he indulged in the pleasant pastime of gossiping. The Society of Waggihg Tongues has been vindioated Let the good work go on. And when Secretary to the President Tumulty says, that "this is a free country and intimates that George Burkitt can say or do any, thing he pleases, the Secretary hits the nail on the head. This is a free country. While they may sus- pend newspapers in England for criti- cising the King; or throw persons in German bastiles for de11ouncing the Kaiser, they cannot even argue with you here for saying anything you wish about the President. And we reve1 in our freedom.

mother, not so demonstrative in his affections, so elated in pleasure, so depressed in grief. And yet many will remember a kind word here, or a thoughtful act there, that stands out, clear and distinct, as one of youths happiest impressions. Not often is he appreciated by the grow ing boy. Often he stands in the family as the official admonisher to whom the boys faults are related for punishment. On him falls the un- pleasant task of applying the rod; his is the arm that must enforce respect for mother and regard for the rights of others. In this light the growing boy is likely to view him with mix ture Of fear, awe and respect Not until years bring a proper perspective is he rightfully understood and ap- preciated-and perhaps not even then.
