Father and the Family.

We knew IL would come, even If the waiting
was long. and that in time father would receive
some attention. He Is now getting his. A
pseudo-scentific body has added to other enter
tainment at the San Francisco fair by announc-
ing that fathers should share with mothers in
responsibility for the family and the care of the
children. More than this. It is proposed that a
federal board shall be created to take charge Of
this important matter and look after the train
ing Of fathers along right lines.
Good old dad At last he is TO share in the
uplift. All he has TO do nowadays is to hustle
for food and clothing for the family, to supply
its pleasures well as It's necessities and make
such arrangements for the provision Of these as
will continue some time into the future after
his taking off, He must help Willie and Mary
and the rest OF the little folks In their work and
their play; he must tend the furnace. look after
the lawn, Fix II with the landlord the doctor
the grocer and all the rest of the host his family
bring him into contact with, and when this Is
done he can snatch a little sleep between times
SO he can hold his Job and be able to deliver the
goods every day. And now. he ia TO be permitted
to have some share In the responsibilities of the

rhs Ethio. Of ths oath


The Bee few days ago reproduced in part
an article from technical legal magazine on
the ethics Of the oath, in which the author
dwelt with great emphasis ON the multiplicity
OF instances in which we require a solemn adj
iudication. We have come to swear 10 every
thing even more than we swear at everything
from a tax schedule 10 q voters regiater. or an
insurance application, not to mention every
form and refinement of judicial procedure.
Taking oath so often inevitably means taking
oaths lightly and the OVERRIDING Of the oath
taking business Is at the bottom Of the ali too
prevalent perjury.
But where the ethics Of the oath has sus-
tanned its severest breakdown Is not In exces-
slve swearings. but In the deliberately planned
conspiracy Of distortion and Justification by
which an evasion of the Law or miscarriage Of
justice is aimed at. The framed-up evidence In
court is the perjury that is deadly, but. unfor-
tunately. the law draws no distinction between
false oaths so coneocted and the merely careless
swearing TO routine documents. To constitute
perjury II is, or should be, the intent that
counts, and the manner, method and purpose Of
violating the oath should determine the intent
AS a matter Of fact. however. prosecutions and
convictions for perjury are almost as rare as
convictions for high treason. which doubtless
helps explain why perjury is so common.

Our NationaI wealth

The United. States census bureau has Just
given out It's estimate OF the material wealth or
the country. fixing the total value OF ali prop
erts in the United States at s1s7, 600, or
s1,se5 for each man. woman and child in the
country. These figures are Just little beyond
the grasp OF the human mind, nor can good
illustration be given to convey an idea Of their

and Nebraska Is fifth in the list. with a per

Comparative figures are available only for
the British empire and Germany. In 1904 the
wealth Of the British empire was estimated at
slos,2s0, 100000. OF which sT2,ss7, 0Oe, 600
was for the United Kingdom. AT that time the
wealth Of the United States was set at SlO7.-

Was returned AZ s4,0o0.O00. These coun-
tries have undoubtedly made increase in the
years that have elapsed since their last estl-
mates we're made. but It Is not probable they
lave kept pace with the wonderful advance OF
the United States.

plea for him. The Whinerys have

The detectives took Winery to
police headquarters, after having
been called to owen addition by Pah-
meyer. The youth confessed to the
officers that he broke into Pahmeyer's
office by climbing over the transom.
He worked the combination on the
safe and opened the door. He secured
the sum of SAT in a purse. He was
preparing to leave when he heard
footsteps in the hall. He Immediately
hid the purse under a sofa and started
playing with dog that had entered
the room. Then Pahmv yer entered the
office. The officers went back to the
office and found the money under the
sofa.
WINERY has been arrested several
times and turned over to the humane
officer, but each time he was given his
liberty. This time, however, it is
thought he will be arraigned in the
juvenile court and sentenced to a long
term in the state training school for
boys, as he seems to be a confirmed
criminal.

HAS CHILD BURGLAR
CONFESSES TO RoBBERlES

Tulsa, Okla, Aug. PA shrewd
and confirmed thief at the age of 10
years, Terry Winery, 1116 We st Park
Place, is being held by Humane Agent
Welch following his arrest by the po-
lice yesterday morning and his subse-
quent confession that he burglarized
the safe In an office at Second and
Main.
Young Winery was almost caught
in the act by W. T. Pahmeyer, who
occupies room No. 8 over the Mer-
chants & Planters bank. When he
entered his office yesterday morning,
Pahmeyer discovered Winery sitting
on the floor playing with a dog. The
rolltop desk was open, as was the
safe door.
Winery told Pahmeyer that he
found the office door open and
walked in. Pahmeyer went out and
called the home of d. w. Crouch. who
also occupies the office, but is out
of the city. He thought perhaps Mr.
Crouch's son had come to the office
early. He was informed, however,
that young Crouch was still in bed.
Returning to the office Pahmeyer
found the youth gone. He investigated
and discovered that the money box
in the safe had been rifled. The sum
of $3.50 in another receptacle, howev-
er, had been overlooked by the thief
Joyce and Siege on Case
The police were notified and De
teotives Joyce and Siege were de
tailed on the case. Upon hearing
Pahmeyer's description of the youth
they became convinced that the cul-
prit was Terry Winery, who recently
robbed a store at Claremore and who
has been arrested here on numerous
occasions for petty thefts.
Pahmeyer finally located Winery
at the home OF his parents in Owen
