REMEMBER THE CHILDREN
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

really realize what the children
mean to us until they have left
us and gone to town or to the city
to work, where they can have
the pleasures and the companion
ship for which their growing
natures hunger. The expression
that all work and no play makes
Jack dull boy is just as old,
moss grown and threadbare as,
the opening quotation Of this
editorial; and it is just as full
Of truth and vital meaning as
is the first one.
1t is probably case Of that
familiarity which breeds con-
tempt which causes so many of
us to go on from day to day and
year to year expecting our boys
and girls to be just as staid, old,
and steady going as we are our
selves Occasionally a father
will wake up some cold winter
morning and find that Jack does
not answer when he calls up
the stairs for him to get up and
help with the chores, for Jack
has sneaked out in the night for
other fields Of labor; he prob
ably feels that he cannot work
any harder or longer hours any
where else than he works at
home, that no other place can
be any more lonesome and drear
and that there is reasonable
chance that any other place
may furnish more of the pleas
ures which his young mind and
soul long to have. 1t may be
that the departure Of the son
or the daughter is less specta-
cular than the one we have
pictured, but every year there
are thousands upon thousands
Of these departures from. our
farm homes into the cities and
the towns for the same basic
reasons.
Nothing in itself is bad, it is
only. an excess Or a misuse Of
anything which is bad or which
does harm. A ju'dicious amount
Of pleasures, p'astimes and re-
creation are a good thing for
every one, regardless Of their
age or their occupation or bus
mess in life. The young people
need more Of these things than
do the older ones, but we all
need them and are better off
for having them.
Plan the daily or the weekly
and monthly routine Of business
on the farm SO that adequate
provision is made to satisfy the
legitimate longing Of the young
people for pleasures and com
panionship and the biggest pos
sible step will have been taken
toward solving this age old
problem of keeping the children
at home. At the same time it
will increase, their efficiency as
workers. If you cans see the
sense in a little fun now and
then from the sentimental stand
point, then look at it from the
cold and commercial standpoint
of dollars and cents coming in
from your business and increase
the efficiency of your wageless
workers by giving them now and
Z then a little well earned ere
creation" Farming Business.

NEW ARMORED MOTOR CAR
SHAPED LIKE A TURTLE

So evidently efficient for war pur-
poses is an armored car recently in
vented by naturalized American that
the military authorities of several of
the warning countries are said to be
negotiating with the inventor for its
use In the European conflict. The
body of the car is made of armor
plate and is elliptical in shape, so
that from distance the car looks like
an enormous turtle. Every part is so
curved that a proiectile fired from
any direction and striking the car at
any point will have a tendency to
glance up or down or horizontally.

Editor Says U. S. Plan
in Haiti Is ''Unfair"
BY l4SSocintcd PrcSS

New York, Sept. 16.-Ernest Chau-
vet editor of a newspaper of Port au
Prince, Haiti, who says he was sent
here unofficially by the Haitien gov
ernment announced to-day that he
had addressed a letter to President
Wilson declaring that the proposed
convention between the United States
and Haiti for the control of the Hal
tien finances is unfair in the extreme"
Mr.. Chauvet said also that he had sent
a circular letter to the same effect to
members of Congress and requested
the Haitien minister at Washington to
arrange an interview for him with
Secretary of State Lansing.

within a few inches of the grounu. At
the top of the body is large portfolio
for the Ain. gun that the car is de-
signed to carry, the arrangement be-
ing such that the gun can be fired at
any angle. At the sides are smaller
portfolios for rifles, and inside the
body is space for four men to stand
erect. The driver, who observes the
road and the movements of the enemy
through a periscope, is entirely con-
cealed and protected from the fire of
the enemy. A picture of this armored
car is a feature of the September

DEFENSE OF MoBs STIRS UP ROW
IN GOVERNOR RANKS.
Blease Gets Tart Reply from Maryland
Executive; Dunno Assails
Hanging.

Boston. Mass, Aug. 81 A state
ment by former Gov. Cole L. Blease of
South Carolina that "when mobs are
no longer possible, liberty will be
dead" brought forth an instant ehal-
lenge and heated debate during the
conference of governors here today.
Gov. P. l. Goldsborough of Mary
land said:
81 cannot sit silently by and permit
such statements to go unanswered. If
capital punishment be wrong, how
much more so is capital punishment at
the hands of a mob
Oppose Death Sentence.
Papers advocating abolition of the
death penalty were read by Gov. W. G..
P. Hunt Of Arizona and Gov. Edward
F. Dunno of Illinois.
Others who favored abolition of the
death penalty were former Cows. Haines
of Maine and Adams of Colorado.
Gov. Richard L Manning of South
Carolina said that when lynehing took
place in his state the county had to
pay $4,000 to the family Of the victim.
Cite Disgrace Of Illinois
"nlinois was disgraeed by 651 homi-
cides in 1910, after a century Of en-
forcement Of capital punishment, 4"
Gov. Dunno said, "while in Wisconsin,
where it had been abolished, the homi-
cides have not been much over so per
cent per capita of those committed in
Illinois"
"Society becomes criminal when it
seeks by violence and the blood of its
victim to right q wrong committed
against it by such product Of its own
neglect. For this class we cannot con-
eeive of execution performing any func-
tion. The hanging Of hundreds of
thousands of men, even the massacre
of their young, would not decrease the
crime that springs from the slums and
the tenements, so long as the slums
remain under the tolerance Of an intel
ligent society.
another evidence that execution is
not effective is afforded in the records
of lynehings and mob violence.
Whether these have occurred in the
north or in the south, they have not
had any appreeiable influence in re-
dueing crime Of the character which
aroused public fury. Lynehings and
burnings at the stake are but too com
mon today"

POSTAL SAVINGS SYSTEM.
Interesting Statistics Showing the
Rapid Increase and Advantages Of
this Service IN ChieEgo-ser-
vice Is Handicapped.

The popularity Of the Postal Savings
Bank among Chicago's foreign-born is
forcefuIly brought out in statistics deal
ing with the nationality Of postal saw
ings depositors just compiled by the
Post Once Department at Washington.
On July LIST, the total deposits at Chi
cago amounted to $s,267, 532-a net
gain during the fiscal year ended June
Soth Of $961, 600 or AZ per cent. The
foreign-bcrn own nearly three-fourths
Of the total deposits with $2,34s, 160
standing to their credit. The accounts
of American-born depositors total 1919,
372 The Russians lead all other
foreign-born depositors with $685. to
their credit; then follow the Austrians
with $685., 737, the Germans with $685.
246 and the Italians with $25s,0S3.
Representatives of every nation of
Europe are among the depositors. One
thousand Eve hundred and ninety-three
depositors have reached the $500 limit,
and can deposit no more, despite their
appeals to do so. OF this number 1l5O
are foreign-born.
The postal savings service at Chi
eago has been seriously handicapped
from the start by unfortunate restrie-
tions in the original Postal Savings
Act, which forbid the acceptance of
more than 800 month from a deposi-
tor and FIX $500 as the maximum
amount that may be accepted from
him. The restrictions have proven par
tjcularly Disappointing to the foreign
born, who often insist on depositing
their entire savings at one time and
can not understand why the United
States Government, in which they have
implicit confidence, is willing to safe
guard a part Of their savings and not
all Of them Vast sums Of money,
earned by honest labor in Chicago, have
thus been driven back into hiding and
lost to local channels Of trade.
In recent report to the Post Office
Department, Postmaster Campbell said:
eve have had numerous inquiries
from intended patrons who desired to
deposit more than 800 each month and
great many who desired to deposit
more than $500 in all. These inquiries
come principally from people who have
sold real estate and are receiving more
cash than can be deposited with us.
Frequently patrons desire to deposit
$500 or $4o0 or more at one time, and
when they learn that they cannot do
50, they are very apt not to start any
account with us They do not desire
to deposit 800 each month and keep
the remainder at home"
