to gain return for the increased protec-
tion offered to passengers. These purpos-
es the lines have sought to effect by
their new regulations requiring passen-
gers to declare the value of their bag
gage and to pay ten cents in insurance
! for every one hundred dollars after the

mount of new clerical work which these
regulations instantly entailed is obvious.

An Impractical Law.

The new baggage rule is leading during
the first few days of its operation TO all
the annoyance and inconvenient delay
which it was expected TO cause both rail.
road companies and passengers. The time
and trouble required in making deelara
ton OF the value of baggage intended
! for points outside of the state, in pay
ment of insurance for value in excess
OF one hundred dollars, and in issue Of
receipts for these premiums appear so
great that il j. questionable whether
the administration of the law can ever
be reeonciled to the public's need of quick
and efficient checking and transportation
OF luggage. on course there must have
been large popular demand for this
legislation the uniformed passenger
might argue The fact is, however. that
there was no such demand. Indeed. the
new regulation concerning the checking
of baggage has been no more than the
outgrowth Of law which was not in
the first instance intended 10 affect bag
gage in any way whatever. The Cum

an amendment 10 the interstate com

Discipline!

A recently exploited case. in which q
wayward girl was hailed into court by
her mother as incorrigible resuggest'
the time-worn bromide that children arc
not what they used TO be.
Scarcely day passes when the scan.
dalous papers do not disclose and exploit
some escapade of silly youth, in which a
girl, preferably of good family and post
ton, has permitted herself to become in
volved in a company and situation spell
ing disgrace or compromise.
Late hours, loose company. easy moral
codes and too great liberty of action in

and girls 90 and come nowadays with a
freedom unknown in the good old days.
The dance, the movies and the ioyride
meet our children in their school years,
and once we yield a few points our au-
thority is gone.
We are apt TO charge these derilic-
tons to imperfect school discipline, and
school discipline is imperfect, principally
because we make it so. With the aboli.
tion of spanking in the family, the
schools have abolished physical corTec-
ton so that punishment becomes a mere
clash of wits in which the pupil is often
the winner.
How many fathers will back up prin-
cipal where darling Willie is involved in

how many mothers will tolerate harsh
interference with Maymie Grsycef
