1t has been for so long an ac,

absolute possession of the parent
that the idea is hard to correct
1t is within the last decade that
thinking people have concluded
that the state has a right to inter

No need to go outside the field
Of his own observation to find cas-
es of gross injustice and brutal
neglect caused by allowing par
ents to follow their own sweet will
with their children. The so-called
Christian nations make a great
fuss because the Chinese bind the
feet of their children, but these
same Christian nations allow par
ents to beat, neglect and starve
their children (either through neg
lect or meanness), because the
parent has entire authority over
them.
1t is not so many years since
husbands were thought to have a
legal right to beat their wives; is
there more reason for state to
allow parents to beat and neglect
children so much more helpless E?
Surely no! The law says to the
saloonist you must not sell a
child liquor or tobacco" yet we
venture the assertion that more
harm is done to children each
year morally, mentally and ply

parents than by all the saloons by
which our fair country is cursed

Union in which it is a misdemean-

Why IS IT?

Why is it, it is often asked, that peo-
ple.in small towns can find no better
than prylng into other peoples busi-
ness, and then exaggerating the truth
in regard to the same. People who
pretend to be Christians, who attend
church regularly, who, in the sight OF
their neighbors are generous and char
table, yet who, without the slightest
provocation, pick up some little mis-
take. or.more often, at nothing, will SC
scandalize one as to ruin his or her
reputation for life. While they would
not steal from them worldly goods, yet
they would rob him or her of what is
more precious than gold-a good repu'
tasion. Why cant people practice
the Christianity that they preach and
edo unto others as you would have
them do unto you2"

To rs it looks as though the trade OF
the country is so scattered that the
town which puts forth the most effort
in that direction will eventually sue
eeed IN landing far more than her 'egi-
innate share OF business. At present,
while time hangs in the hands OF the
average man, he takes time to look
around, and then spends his money
where it viii go the farthest, and to US
it seems that the merchant who offers
him good values for his money, will
eventually reap golden rewards in the
way OF his future trade. This fact we
would impress upon the minds OF the
people and we would also ask them to
aid rs in establishing the fact that in
our town can be found better bargains
than in any other in this section. II
we once get this faction established,
our town will soon be handling far
more trade than rishtfully belongs to
her. Let US join hands and make this
so.
