Manners Should Be Taught

There is no bigger asset in the world
than good manners. They are letter

which closed doors fly open. They make
friends for us, and smooth the rough
places. They will CORY a man further

1t passes ali understanding that mothers
do not think it worth while to teach

Do we consider that good manners and
social adriotness are less necessary to
man than they are to woman? Do
we hold that women should have
monopoly on good manners? Or do we
think that good manners come by ma
sture, as Dogberry thought knowledge
fof reading and writing did? 81
Whatever the answer is to these
queries there is no disputing the fact
that the average little girl. OF good fam
lily. has charming manners, and the aver
age little boy is A savage When the lit
tie girl comes into the room when you
are calling on her mother. she drops

Last summer I stayed all night at a
New England summer resort. At dinner,
at the table next TO mine, were eight or
ten young girls and boys, having a Jolly

, which develops qualities which make for
civilization.
The teaching of civilization has been
that. IL a person wants independence and
freedom, IL is necessary either TO inherit
money or to develop earning power
Man learned the lesson first He had
fewer family cares.
Woman has valued affection and love
more than independence and freedom.
Nature made IL So
Woman has been slow in learning that
love is good and necessary. but love is
not enough.
Woman has a natural desire for free
dom and for independence. Her hope
and the trend of her present life is to
too.
There is a way for her to do this, and
we are approaching it.
Free schools gave to mothers a great
degree of freedom.
Free tuition and then free books were
in the direction of liberty for the mother.
And now there are schools where the
midday lunch is provided for the children.
Who provides free schools. free books.
free lunches? The people.
Some of us well remember when the
school tax was paid BY the people who
sent the children to school. The poor man
who had six children paid six times as
much as the rich man with one.
The man who owned half the town and
had no children paid no tax at all.
But the fact finally came to man that
children are part of society at large,
! and it is for the well-being OF the state
that all children be educated.
And the result was that the state made
! free schools possible.
The people are carrying this thought
logically forward. Equip the children for
citizenship. Bad citizens are the most
costly extraN agance the state can have.
The children are far more dependent
upon and far more influenced by the
mother than by the father.
Women slaves and woman in seTvitude
or in bonds do not bear noble sons and
noble daughters.
One step more and the state will make
mothers economically free.
Who pays for the children? Society at
the last.
The entire town is blessed II the child
rem are great The entire state suffers If
the children are rogues and criminals.
Would It not be good business to make
mothers economically free and thereby
receive directly the civilizing benefits of
commerce?

A neutral observer in Germany, who has written many interesting things to the outside press without at- tempting to debate the issues in con- f1ict-which would soon get his pen a holiday if he tried it-reports widespread and still growing belief in that country that the United States as well as England and France will be in for the payment of a big in demnity when the war is over and the victory won. In that case, the Army and Navy Journal observes. this country would be face to face with a demand in comparison with which the Alabama claims would look like thirty cents. With true German thoroughness," says the Journal, "ex- perts in international law are spend ing days and nights in Berlin, prepar- ing bills against all and sundry na- tions. Germany has classified her enemies as follows: The Russians as muddlers; the French as a frivolous nation which appears in the war in the same spirit as in 1870; the Ital- fans as being of little military ac- count; the English idle and sport lov- ing. German opinion is that English love of wealth, ease and luxury and lack of discipline will enable Ger many to squeeze out of Great Britain the fattest indemnity the world has ever known. With the British in- demnity secured, the next on the list are the Americans-the dollar folk War as means of making money, has appealed to the Prussian mind ever since the well-filled Castle of Spandau received the French milliards after 1S7O." The principal item charged in the account against America is, of course, the penalty for supplying au- tomobiles projectiles and other muni- tions to the Allies.

The Kernel of It. -
(New York Tim es.)

A year ago it would have seemed fc olishly unnecessary to state such an elementary fact as that which the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Eaton so admir- ably stated in his sermon of Sunday:
 We must let all the world know that American citizenship is a sacred thing, and it's rights cannot be vio- lated by any onc anywhere without a reckoning.
 But today it must be regretfully ad mitted that it is necessary to say such things, and even to defend them. to restate the anxious. All over tho country there are Americans busily engaged in denying what formerly passed for the most self-evident truths. If they do not deny them in words they do by acts. It is being argued that thero is something trucu- lent and militaristic about taking any action to preserve the sacredness of American citizenship or to call to
New Britain herald., 1915-09-23

reckoning any one who violates it's rights.
 We even ss, public men proposing that when the American right to use the high road to Europe is violated American citizens should stay off it tn avoid trouble Not from persons so highly placed, but with ugly frc- quency, we hear it said that the men, women, and children who have lost tn cir. lives were pleasure seekers who went at their own risk and that other Americans should not be troubled on their behalf. There has grown up in the country a strange, slack concep- tion of citizenship, its rights and duties, which will some day have a dreadful recoil.
 For the basis of government ac- tion in behalf of injured citizens, Is not vengeance; it is protection for those who are left. It is the same basis on which rests the idea of police action and punishment by law in city and state; not that the man who took another's life or property sh ould be punished in a spirit of vengeance, but that the next man who walks that way may be safe. 1t is the con- cern, not of the Lusitania's dead, but oI every llNlnS AIneTlcan lndL AIleh- jean citizenship should be respected; and if it be put cn no higher ground, it is the selfish personal concern of every one of us. It ought not to be necessary to say such things. A year ago it would not have been. For the creation of body of ignorant opi1- ion which makes it necessary to say them, the men who have lent their aid to it should blush, and may some time have occasion to repent.

The Mystery of Office Seeking.
Manchester Herald.l


 Today automobiles are securing Gidates for office and their scarcely less anxious friends are putting in long hours at the polls trying to win votes. And what is it all about? Aside from the office of collector, which pays something like a thou sand a year, there isn't an office on the whole list to be voted for today which will bring the lucky candidate more than s200 a year. Yes, there are the offices of town clerk and treasurer, but they will go to the present incumbent without contest, so they do not count. Therefore not one of the offices of which there is so much competition pays enough to give an able-bodied man fair com pensation for the time and effort it costs him. Here we have the unique spectacle of men wing with each other to serve the town for less money than they could earn at somc- thing else!
 The town office holder not only gets little pay for his work, but he is obliged to stimulate a fondness for the dear voter which he does not really feel. To most men the game would not seem worth the candle. Yet after all it is a good thing 1or the community that there are some men who are willing to undergo the indigities and annoyances of a cam paign anG, if elected, toll at small recompense in behalf of the town; for somebody must do the towns
