THE CHILD'S PROBLEM

You don't know what a problem

until am fairly ashamed Of myself.
Then her father takes her in hand,
only to make matters worse. What
can do ?"
So much for the mothers side. No
doubt her child does present prob
lem that looks hard to solve. All par
ents know how II is. Bot what Of the
greater problem that the father and
the mother present to t he child?
II we could put the ehild's own
thoughts into words, we should prob
ably get something like this; what
a world of perplexity and contradie-
ton! How can | ever learn anything
helpful from father and mother? Last
night they scolded me because ! did
not eat when ! was not hungry; this
forenoon they spanked me because |
ate when | was hungry. They send
me out TO play when | am sleepy, and
put me to bed when | want to go out.

that mother forbids. Neither Of them

eessive days. | have to suffer in turn
from their love, their ignorance, and
their digestion. What can | do 2"
Thus to a child, with its eagerly
active mind cropping everywhere and
grasping at everything in its effort to
learn the ways of life, the parents are
often a problem that fills the young
heart with Encouragement and de-
sparta problem that leads him to
cultivate a goodness" that is the re-
suit of fear, and badness" that is
the product Of example and environ
ment.
If parents would honestly try once
in a while to get the point of view
of the child, how much more reason
ably they would exercise their author
ity. And how it would simplify their
own task to recognize that the child,
too, faces a big problem.-Tho Youths

JORDAN ON THE WAR.

On this page of today's Courier is
the second of the series of feature
editorials by men Of international
note. David Starr Jordan, chancellor
of Leland Stanford, Jr. university, Is
the writer and his subject is "Our Pro-
test Against War The learned pro-
fessor is not in accord with the Ger
man view of the struggle now devas-
tating Europe and while protesting
friendliness toward the German people,
he holds the German administration up
to severe condemnation. Nevertheless
he believes that the greatest influence
this country can exert is in remaining
technically neutral while the people
are unofficially voicing their protest
against breaking of faith with civil
ization."
Whatever ones views may be, the
article IL worth reading and should be
clipped out and filed away in scrap
book along with the other feature
editorials which The Courier will print
every few days.
The Courier has secured one of
George Randolph Chester's books to
run as serial story, commencing next
week. You know Chester He wrote
the Wallingford stories. The new ~
rial is "A Tale of Red Roses"

WAR ON THE CAT.

Professor Stephens, head of the bl-
o,ogv department at Morningside Col
lege. Sioux City, has come out with an
execration on the house cat. He con-
tends that cats are an enemy to man
because OF the great numbers OF useful
birds they kill, while they themselves
do little in the service of the human
race. The professor cites statistics
which indicate that cats Kill nearly
half a hundred birds each year. The
good these birds would do In eating
insects that are inimical to man and
to mans crops, is many times as great
as that which the cats do in cutting
down the number of rats and mice. In
fact the professor is somewhat skep-
teal as to the usefulness of cats in this
latter work and expresses the belle1
that not more than one cat in a hun
dred Is really efficient as rat or
mouse catcher. He further charges the
cat with being notorious carrier OF
disease germs and filth of all kinds.
The professor advocates making use OF
a provision in the Iowa state statutes
which make it possible for cities and
towns to levy tax upon cats. He holds
that such course would permit those
who want to keep cats as pets, to graf
tfy their within, while many cats that
are not pets, and which kill thousands
of useful birds, would thus be done
away with.

ANOTHER VIEW OF NEUTRALITY.

A new view on neutrality on the
part of the United States was sprung
at congressional committee hearing
yesterday when Representative Flood
answered advocates of an embargo on
arms, by telling them that we might
then lay ourselves open to the charge
OF being unneutral toward Breat Brit
ain and the powers with which that
nation is allied The proponents of
the plan to prevent the shipment
abroad of war munitions numbered
among their reasons the fact that
Germany could not profit by these
shipments, inasmuch as Germany has
no way of getting the munitions to
! her shores past the hostile fleets.
Thus, say the advocates of an arms
embargo, the United States is not
proving really neutral because by sell
ing arms and ammunitions to the one
side that is in position to buy, this
nation is in truth aiding one faction
grf the belligerents.
Chairman Flood of the COMPRESSION
all committee opposes such an embargo
and is fighting It. He first threw a
bomb into the ranks of those who
claimed that we are offending Ger
many by producing testimony that

Washington, d. c., Jan. Back of
the simple announcement that Senator
Cummins will again practice law-the
profession which he surrendered thir
teen years ago when he became COVER
nor of 1owa--is the fact that he will
be in the race for the republican NOM
nation for the presidency in 1916. A
man who was making large income
from the law when he put it aside to
accept the $4,000 governorship, and
who since has had to live and finance
his campaigns from salary of $500,
finds himself unable to meet larger
demands without greater income.
So, at least, say his friends in Wash
ington. Now the senator believes that
he can be of use to his party-to the
formulation of it's creed and the guild
ance Of it's campaign. two years hence.
In order to do that he will add to his
official salary the earnings of days
when congress Is not in session.

any law business, when he could prob
ably be earning $50, year without
prejudicing his service in the national
comment in senate circles for years.

their legal practice. Notable among
these have been Senators O'Gorman
of New York, and Lewis of Illinois.
Senator Kenyon, while generally alb
staining from other than public serv-
ice, has occasionally taken case.
The constant demand for donations
to charitable causes. and the standard
of expenditure in campaigns, speaking
trips and in normal life in the capital
have made it difficult for man ma
tionally active to get through the year
on $500.
The need for Senator Cummins talk
ing leading part in the affairs of the
republican party for the next two
years has become evident to the pro-
gressive group in the party during the
past few days. A powerful movement
has been started for the nomination
of former Vice President Fairbanks,
who is expected to have the backing
of tho Vanderlip and Dawes interest
in Wall street. At the same time the
Herrick boom is scheduled to die out.
and the Willis boom to replace 1t for
tactical reasons. The eastern progress
sive republicans. are pinning their
hopes upon Gov. Whitman.
1t has become clear during the week
that Senator Kenyon will support
Senator Cummins in his fight to secure
the nomination. Iowa will go into the
next national convention united upon
Cummins as it's candidate and upon
the progressive policy for which Cum
Minis and Kenyon stand. If the Whit
man boom does not stampede the
convention Senator Cummins will be
the logical nominee. He will repre-
sent the progressive west. after the
movements in favor of Senator Borah
of Idaho, and other candidates of sim
liar standing have run their course. II

To know how to express himself

Judging from my experience said
Mr. Forgan, "these are rare qualifi-
cations. A few years ago took three
high school graduates into business.
AS a test l gave each of them forty
odd checks and instructed them to
take down the amount of each check
and then add the column. gave them
as much time as they wanted, all OF
them more than a half hour, and
when they had finished not one had
taken down the figures correctly nor
had one added correctly the figures
he had taken down."

arms and ammunition as legitimate
in every way and not an indication OF
unfriendliness of this nation toward
the kaiser's realms.
Then Chairman Flood followed with
an intimation that an embargo on
arms might be construed as unneutral
by the other side. He said:
"The shipment Of war supplies to
belligerent nations has been recog-
nized for 100 years as right OF our
citizens by the law of nations. When
this war began that right was recog-
nized. England through her fore
sight and the expenditure of her treas
ure had gained control Of the seas. 1t
would be to her disadvantage to
change this situation now. Would 1t
not be an unneutral act?"
