The Child That Tolls Not

J A great deal is being said and
written nowadays about the
child that tolls. Our legislatures
are being asked to pass string
ent laws against child labor. We
will not now discuss the merits
of this question. save to say that
the child should be protected by
law, if necessary, from all inn
positions which hinder him i'm
his education, or which iniure
his physical being, or which in
any way tend to improverish
his life.
But we need at the same time
to be greatly concerned about
the child that tolls not; for he
Will make more useless and
dangerous citizen than the child
who tolls. This class of child
rem is becoming alarmingly large.
The streets of our towns and cit
les are too frequently lined with
children who never work. They
probably spend a few hours in
the morning in the school, but
as soon as dinner is over thev
seek the harmful environments
OF the streets and spend the af.
ternoon gathering into their ma
lures all the evil influences
which are exert d.
Few worse calamities can be
fall a child than for it to grow
up in idleness. Such a child
comes to maturity utterly un-
prepared to bear his part of
life's burdens, indeed in great
majority Of cases perfectly
averse to doings so. He ha
lived to that time upon the la
borS of others and he sees no
reason why he should not con.
tinue to do so. Thus instead OF
being a burden-bearer he be.
comes a burden. More than that
he falls an easy prey to temp
tation; for it is still true that an
idle brain is the DEVILS work
shop" So such an one is apt to
become moral sore on the body
of society. If he had been
taught to labor, it is most prob
able all this would have been
averted.
| 1t matters not if man is able
financially to keep his child from
working, that is no reason why
he should do so. Such a father
has no proper conception of the
responsibility of parenthood. He
may congratulate himself that
he is a kind father but his is
mistaken kindness which will
prove a curse to the child. The
large majority of the successful
men of OUR land thank God tha'
their fathers taught them tc
work, and they give this as one
/ of the chief causes of their sue
l cess.
Let us save a good part of tht
sympathy we are .lavishing upor

it upon the child that tolls not

Public Opinion and the Law

The Greenville News does not
eXagerate the value of public
opinion in the enforcement of
law; but we think it gets "the
cart before the horse" in the
matter of creating public opin-
ion when it says, AN officer
can go Just as far with the en-
forcement of law as public opin-
ion dictates. Beyond that he
cannot go on peril of losing his
job"
If that were true. then the
formation of public opinio would
be left largely, if not chiefly.
to the lawIess, or the opponents
of law; for they are the most
active and persistent in their
course of conduct, and will Of
ten be mistaken, therefore, for
"pblic opinion"
If that were true. we would
almost as well be in state oi
anarchy and have n claw except
the will of the individuals. each
one doing what he had mind
to do, taking his own opinion as
that of the public.
! If the officers Go not prevent
violation of law. who viii? One
says public opinion. But the
public opinion is a very variable
force and very impalpable. No
man knows certainly what it
really is unless in some striking
and uncommon situation that
calls forth the loud and outspoke
en- expression of public feeling.
The public opinion" that favors
obedience to law and the Observ-
ance of the moralties and decen-
cies of life is quite and not as
sert!ve, while public opinion"
that is on the other side is ag-
pressive and assertive, and is
often mistaken for the "opin-
ion" of the majority of the peo
pie.
Who is going to say what is
the opinion of the majority? 1t
is impossible tha tthe voice of
the people should be gathered
on every occasion, or upon every
question that arises. If one
were to Judge by the noise made
and the claims set forth, he
would think in nine times out
of ten that public opinion favors
liquor-sellinR, and various other
things that it does not favor
as sproved in an election where
the people quietly deposit their
ballots.
1t ought to be taken for grant

PREPARES FOR HIS
CROSS IN SOLITUDE
Rev. F. K. Dougherty Tells Of
Day of Silence by
Christ. -

With knowledge OF His orucihdon
near at hand. Jesus spent the We'd
nesday before His death in solitude
and retirement. with no one to
strengthen Him or help Him bear
His burden. excepting His Father.
according 20 the words OF Rev
Frank K Dougherty. pastor Of Grace
N. r church. last night in mis- SER
mon on the subject a Day Of Sill
ence." The actions OF Jesus dur1ns
the day and evening were told by
Rev. DOugherty as follows:
His public work was done While
His enemies were completing their
plans for His destruction, He would
take "A little time TO grid I'D His soul
for the trial OF mockery and scourg-
ing. and for the browning agony Of
the cross. He would need the repOse
OF two quiet days to prepare Him
self for the last Eleepless night. and
for the loSg torture OF the last
dreadful day. when He leaves the
quiet village for the last time. on
Thursday afternoon He goes to be
betrayed and crucifed. His whole
body and soul and spirit will be
tasked with the most exhausting ard
increasing intensity. until He bows
His head in death at the ninth hour
on Friday afternoon.
Disciples Would Not Believe,
Jesus had told His disciples and
His friends at Bethany what would
be the end, and how soon il would
come. But they believed it not He
was going to the cross on Friday as
n He we're in prison. condemned TO
death, and the execution Of the SEN
tence had been set for that day.
Yet re believe that He talked 10
those about Him. seriously and
tenderly, yet not cOmplainingly. not
even asking for their sympathy. but
always striving TO repose their
hearts for the dark and terrible day
when their dearest earthly hope
would re crushed. He goes out, it
may re. at night among the trees
10 be alone with His Father. He
seems more than usual, perhaps. as
il He were hearing the elements OF
some mighty conflict within, and
they were harder TO master than
the storms of the sea. But there is
no one with Him in His deep and
awful conflict. He must go TO His
death with none 10 hold His hand
or strengthen His heart.

The housekeeper should also remem-
Der that she must be guided in her Sc
lection of menus so that they are suited
and adapted TO her individual family
needs. The young children and the
aged need a less quantity Of food, but
served moro frequently; and the seden-
tary person certainly needs far less
and that more delicate in quantity than
those engaged in manual labor, for the
latter class use up the nutrient ele-
ments of the food by muscular exer-
tion.
Unfortunately this gospel Of right
living is not yet as universally under
stood as it should be; for as builder
selects perfect materials and fits them
together for a dwelling so must the
housekeeper select the best food to de-
velop the well balanced body and mind.
With this thought in mind, what great
er truth can be said concerning the i'm
portance and dignity of woman's work
