PATRIOTISM powNHD BOOZE.
Sioux City Tribune


There was an interesting side fea-
ture to the recent contest in Alberta
province, Canada, which resulted In
decisive declaration for prohibition. AT
several of the debates preliminary TO
election the question of alignment went
clear beyond ordinary lines-become
resolved into an issue OF national pa
trlotism. This situation was due to
the liquor interests In Canada import
ing some German speakers from the
United States. The temperance cause
was backed by local Manifestations
and Britishers OF unquestioned antece-
dents. With Canadians arguing on one
side of an issue and Germans arguing
on the other side it Is not difficult to
imagine what would happen in can
ada, regardless Of the subject under
discussion. It was an absolute rout Tor
the issue Offered by German orators.
At Calgary q monster mass meeting
was held a few days before. the cleo
ton, in which the principal attraction
was a Joint debate on the prohibition
question between Rev. F. ". Patter-
son, of Edmonton, a dry advocate,
and Herr Windle. Of Chicago, import
ed booster for license.
Conclusion of the debate was marked
by a nationalist demonstration. The
band played God Save the King, and

ALL YEAR SCHOOL THE THING.
IAlbia Union.1

A movement for an all school year
is on foot in this country which is
going to solve the bad moral problems
Of children If ever put into force. The
investigation on by the moralists Of the
country are convincing them that the
all school year IS the thing. In cities
they claim, where children are shut up
III close quarters. the best way to do
is to get them all to the rural district
for study, where they can work part
of the day and roam in the open air
the rest Of the time. Study during the
summer they find does no harm and
keeps the children out Of mischief.
Even If the states can not provide free
rural schools, a thing they hope, how
ever, to see in the near future, they
claim that in school in the city is bet
ter than running the streets. and the
health of the child is not injured hall
so much by mental work as by the inn
moral thoughts poured into 1t by con-
tact with impure boys and girls during
the summer vacation. This Is some-
thing new for parents to think about.

DRY TOWN CONDITIONS.
Davenport Democrat

=
AS Davenport has got to go dry the
first of the year Davenporters will
hope that there are some compensate
ing advantages in the change such as
are claimed by the Des Moines Capt.
tai.
The Capital says that the report of
the inebriate hospital at Knoxville
shows that Polk county's contributions
to that institution have fallen off ire
mendously. and that the county Is al
ready saving $1,000. quarter of the
bill that 1t formerly paid for its pa
tients at the Knoxville institution.
The Capital claims that under the
new regime, court costs have fallen
OF greatly in Des Moines. and crime
has decreased. Working conditions. It
says, were never better there than to-
day, while there is evidence that
families are getting the benefit Of the
money that formerly was spent for
drink.
These reports do not agree with
some that are frequently claimed TO
represent conditions in dry towns. ii
will be interesting a couple of years
from now, to be able to say from our
own experience whether they are true
or not.

THE OTHER MANS BOY.

A bunch Of men were talking as
| men talk. The subject was poker and
each had contributed an experience of
an incident that had come under his
own observation. One confessed that
he liked the game and asserted that he
had been able to hold his own at it,;
but" said he, when my boy grew up
so that he began to take notice I
quit it"
Whoever we are who play poker and
our boys to do it. All of us want our
boys to be better men than We are or
have been. AS a general thing they are
better boys and are by way of grow
ing into better men than we but 1t is
a question how much we deserve Of
credit for the fact.
II will hardly do to quit when the
boy begins to notice. Somebody elses
boy has been taking notice all the
time. Our boy will notice come other
man whose boy hasn't Yet begun to
notice. We can't get away with it
that way. There's always somebody
whose boy hasn't begun to notice or
who is fooling himself as to this boys
perceptive qualities.
They begin to notice early, earlier
than we think. If we recall our own
hoyhood we shall remember many in
stances when mother spoke freely be-
fore our innocence imagining that we
lacked wisdom that had been ours for
many months. when father cut a
corner perhaps in the futile belief that
we were utterly blind 10 what we saw
and noted fully. The perceptive quail
ties of a boy are always greater than
his parents imagine. And a boy never
forgets
Our responsibility 10 our own boy
IS great; and the responsibility toward
the other mans boy is scarcely less.

THE DROWNING ACCIDENTS.
Iowa City Republican,

One OF the most pathetic aspects
of the summer season IS the great
number OF drowning accidents that
fill the papers as soon a. warm water
is found In rivers, lakes and ocean.
The press Of the country Is annual
ly full OF protest against the excuses
Of football, in which a score or two Of
students have commonly lost their
lives. There are thousands on thou
sands Of drowning accidents every
year which excite comparatively little
attention.
Unfortunately teaching children TO
swim does not assure safety. Many
young people, the moment they at
tain confidence, are ambitious for
long distance records. They are not
satisfied to remain near shore, ming
ling with their mates in gentle feats
OF diving and swimming under water.
They must try long distances where
few of their comrades can follow them,
and where an attack Of cramp may
send them quickly to the bottom.
Supervision Of swimmers by life
guards is not always complete pro-
lection. II hundred swimmers are
bobbing around in the water it is easy
for one to disappear without attract
ing any notice.
Probably the majority of accidents
occur where young boys go In bath
ing without supervisions while they
are learning to swim. The fearsome
mother who would not let her daugh-
ter go iEto the water until she learned
how to swim has always been held up
to ridicule. There is general feeling
! that young people have to take their
chances, and so they are turned loose
| in the nearest water hole.
It Is a matter OF slight expense.
wherever there is a swimming place.
to provide some athletic young fell
law as an instructor. To be sure
there is the boy who always runs
away to the hole in defiance OF his
parents detected only by the guilty
sign OF his wet and dripping hair.
still, il he was told that under
swimming instructor he would learn
this manly art in a more correct and
scientific way, the idea ought to APP
peal to the boy mind.
