elder brothers and sisters right royal
~. "A boys a boy for a. that" is the
cry that never dies out by those con
doning his follies. Parents deny them.
selves necessary comforts, pinch. save
all this to give the young man q
better start in the world than they
had and keep him from having to
face the world penniless, as they con.
stantly remind those growing up, who
look to them for liberality.
The young hopeful hears the old, old
story of how his father trudged foot
sore miles to his ~illpaying work, etc.
He breaks out with a groan from his
lusty young lungs: Dad, how many
more times are those doleful tales you
Hing out so heavily at me to be told i?
Give US something new"
Young blood has not the least desire
to have these truths flung at them.
When they feel that the latchkey given
them should not compel them to be in
by midnight they confront the head
OF the house with the information that
they are nearly of age and it's best to
manage themselves as other boys have
done.
Then the dark days come when the
piucky youngster not out of his teens
packs his most needed belongings and
with little bag and baggage starts off
to put out for himself. He braved the
anger of his exacting father when
away he went to a hard position which
ne had taken and capped the climax
by hiring a plain hall bedroom, whose
furniture consisted of a cot, washstand
and an apology Of a small table. ~
want no luxurious furniture stuff to
hamper me-" said the boy who was to
manage himself. 1--WE had too much
fostering and brain-clouding at the
homestead"
What mattered it to the youth, who
was feverish to find out what he could
NIL IN the world that he had CHANGED
to roam to the nearest town to COM
mence managing his career-a dis
lance OF a dozen miles away? AS soon
as the meager words on a postal con-
tanned his address, that he was we'll, !
and sent love to all, the mother and
sisters kept back their tears and in
broker accents murmured he had
been too tenderly nurtured to undergo
hardships which they feared he had to |
face. The father testify broke in:
You m are the ones who spoil
youths career; instead OF hardening
him for the ups and downs he has to |
expect, you keep up making it easy
for him and adding to the burden
have to bear. The boy can manage
himself better than you can"
Young men like the dear, sweet, old
fashioned home which they have been
reared in, but they do not feel fattered
to hear themselves called the kid"
from the time they are in their teens
and until they are out of it because
they are the youngest in the family. 1t
is no laughing matter for him to hear
them cay fiatteringly: "You are q real
dude, in the new suit the governor
gave you" He likes the suit best
which he pays for, with money he has
earned. The first time eager mother
and sisters start to visit him, late
Monday afternoon, they are weighed
down with packages they have talked
over that he needs-his house slippers,
box of neckties, bottles of perfume,
volumes Of books. pictures, etc. The
ballroom looked like a menag-
erie when they piled all in.
Yet these dear mothers and sisters

CONGRESS-

\ Newspaper Nen in Session at san

San Francisco, July Percy An
dreae of Chicago, vice president OF
the American Association of Foreign
Language Newspapers. addressing the
international Press congress here to-
day, asserted his belief that the para
mount function OF The press in Amer
lea was to act as keeper. OF the public
conscience.
This is no mere mafaaH1r.e he con
tiuued. "There never was time
when men as well as women were so
dercely intent upon appealing to the
public conscience. and assuming TO
speak in it's name. And who is to dis

foreigner when he reaches these shores
comes in many cases with that one
sided conception Of American liberty
which renders him blind to the fact
that the exercise of his liberty is con
dttioned upon his due regard for the
liberty Of others. Tn his first exalta-
ton upon being delivered from the
shackles 81 his old life he is apt to
suppose that, since the order Of things
he has left behind him meant the de-
NAL Of individual freedom, therefore
the stats of freedom into which he en-
tiers here implies corresp ondtngly an
absence of all necessity TO submit to
the exigencies Of social order. He has
to learn, in other words, that, while
order may exist without liberty, there
is no liberty conceivable without or
der. Il is the task of the f0reign-lan-
guage newspaper 10 bring this fact
f0rcibly home 10 him, and 7 am max
ing no idle boast when / SAY that it
has succeeded in accomplishing this
self-lmposed task in a remarkable de
gree.
"I have characterized that task as.
one of making d true American Of the
foreign born immigrant. Whether, af-'
Ter becoming merged in the general
citizenship of the country, he remains
q true American or not, depends, as
iG depends in the case of every one
of us, be he foreign born or native
upon our press There is no nobIer
task than that of keeping the mind Of
every citizen of this country unalter-
ably 6zed upon those fundamental
principles of government laid down
by our immortal forefathers"
In conclusion. MIR, Andreae said:
ut is fit and proper that the press
should bow to the public. because the
public is sovereign. But, when we
so bow, let US first be sure that it is
the sovereign public we are bowling
to, and not a mere bogv, 5ngeniously
dressed up to resemble it. And, above
ALL even in bowling, let US remember |
that. though right or wrong, the pub
lie ever remains the supreme sOver- /

itself Of its own supreme responsible [
