CAMPERS CYCLE OF
 HARD LUCK UNBROKEN
(From Fridays Daily.)

Grant Carter of Kirkland valley was in the city yesterday to receive medical attention for two broken ribs, as we'll as other injuries sustain ed in a fall while driving his team across Kirkland creek, which was frozen over In some manner not known Carter slipped o1 the ice, and in falling his body struck big pole, the fractures resulting.
 He is passing through cycle oi accidents which is very unusual, and this is the fifth time in two years ne has been '1aid up for repairs" since he went into the accident column. Carter's first trouble was in being pricked by barbed wire prong on the hand, that developed into a serious blood poisoning case, and before he recovered was under treatment at Mercy hospital for seven weeks. Lat CT he sustained a light fracture of his arm, while riding on horseback, and in a short time, was ready for another mishap, which came along in quick order. Last Fall his auto went over the grade on the Copper Basin road and he was injured internally by be ing caught underneath the machine Six weeks in bed finally restored him to normal health. Rheumatic ills then seized him, but two months at Agus Caliente put him in fine fettle for tho next round. This arrived on time last Wednesday and Carter again will go to bed for another few weeks.
 His fine ranch was not very mucf benefited by the storms of las month, and in addition to severa acres being covered over from one tC three feet deep with sand, a large tract under cultivation to Wintef yields was washed away.
 Just put this in the Journal Miner" he said yesterday. "l an going to take lessons in aviation thi Spring, and look out; there1l be some thing doing again; I've had all ther' is coming to me on this earth and th' next time I'm going up to tempt tn fates."

SCHOOLS SHOULD TEACH
 RESPECT FOR LAW
(From Sundays Daily.)

With respect to what ideas 1 may have concerning the work in the schools and the great opportunities they have for really helping the State and the nation, it has been my opinion for some time, based upon my experi- ence in the active practice of law for the last twenty years, that the great trouble today with the American peo- pie Is the want of respect for au- thority.
 1 think the school should teach more respect for authority. Parents should compel their children to obey and the laws of the State and nation should be enforced. The modern tendency is that the child has no re- spect for its parents, none for its teacher and later, when it leaves school. none for the State or nation I refer particularly to respect for the authority of the parent, the teach CT and the State The child has often great respect and love for the parent and teacher, but it wishes its own way and does not receive the discip- line necessary to compel it to bow to the constituted authorities.
 If we had less law, less rules, and stricter enforcement of them, and less maudlin sentiment for persons who violate the laws the ultimate effect upon the State and nation. in my opinion, would be very great. 1 be- lieve in fewer laws, fewer rules and a strict enforcement of those we have.
 Today we have laws on every sub ject. a regulation for every idea ad- vanced by any one-a multitude of laws, broken almost at will and en- forced only at the whim of those in power dictate Necessarily then tie people, to a degree, hold the whole mass of them in sort of contempt.
 When some one advances an idea today, the first thing they do is to rush to some place and have some one pass law, expecting thereby to cor rect every evil. The laws arc either incapable of enforcement or are not enforced, and we, as we'll as the child, learn that authority is not to be re- spected and that our own will and wish are our only guide.
 I believe that the child should be taught to obey those in authority over him without question, first. his parent: second, his teacher; and third, his State. And, furthermore, those in authority over him should give no rule or order or make any law except after mature consideration, and then should firmly enforce them. I am a firm believer that eff you spare the rod, you will spoil the child"
 may be greatly at variance from the present day thought on these mat ters but, as stated above, that an act i've and busy life in the practice of the law for the last twenty years has forced me to the conclusion that threefourths of our trouble could be summed up in the one phrase want of respect for constituted authority"

(Rockland Courier Gazette.)

Gazette carried this item from our
correspondent: ''Silas Garry Of Bur-
ketville has a flock Of so hens which
has laid more than 2400 dozens Of
eggs the past nine and ten months
a good record for an amateur"
The hen editor. who has become
somewhat expert in the handling of
egg, statistics. shook his head skepti-
cally, but he was reluctant to withhold
a correspondents statement, made in
good faith, so the item was printed,
with this warning amendment: THE
Courier Gazette will leave it's readers
to get out their pencils and figure
this over"
This injunction was evidently
obeyed, for the hen experts have had
good deal to say about the figures.
Now comes again our Burkettville
contributor and says:
"Silas Clarry wishes to correct the
statment concerning the number Of
eggs his So hens laid in on months.
