One OF the tragic injustices of which
q great multitude of parents are guilty
even in this age, Is the bending OF
children to their will through the pow
err of fear. There is a large class of
parents who are positively brutal with
their little ones A child quickly
comes to understand reason, If reason
Is applied. He is keenly receptive
to truths, and to right ways of doing
things, He deserves to have mysteries
explained to him. He is entitled to
legitimate reasons when he is told
that he must not do certain things.

THE TENDENCY TO KNOCK

The tendency to knock seems to be
inherent in human nature. More peo-
pie are interested in destruction thar
construction, as is plainly proven by
the crowds which stand around a
building which is being raised, and
the apparent Indifference OF the pas
ers-by to the building which is being
put up. We read of the destruction
of Reims with abated breath, but a
movement for a civic betterment gets
but scant attention. There is hope,
however, of the awakening of public
interest in constructive plans and a
corresponding WEAKNESS of muckrak-
ing and the tearing down of our ex-
listing business and social or1ganiza-
lions. This is right and should be
encouraged. Let's forget about TAX
ing the fall out of the other fellow
and, instead, give him the uplifting
hand. We should not try to reform
him in the sense that we tell him how
perfect we are and how imperfect he
is. or that we insist that he adopt
our standard of morality in prefer
'ence to that which he has chosen.
Let him reform himself if he wants
to reform, but let US give him a
chance for his white alley. That's
the spirit that makes for progress
and upbuilding.

Reason and Caprice.

Edmund Burke says: Taking the
whole view of life, it Is more safe to
live under the Jurisdiction of severe
but steady reascn than under the
empire of indulgent but caprictous
passion" Such wisdom should be
proclaimed these days for the practice
Is decidedly against 1t. Men are not
inclined to conduct their lives in &C.
cordance with severe but steady
reason" but under the influence OF
the cry opposite passion. And the
times and customs seem to prepare
men for ''indulgent but capricious
lives" In fact. inventive genius Is
largely employed in preparing mo-
tives and attractions toward these
capricious lives. If there is a lee
ture or a prayer meeting appointed for
q certain night and a banquet or q
dance for the anne time, the stream
or attendance is toward the latter.
Between the church service and the
automobile hide the latter Is chosen
too often among people of religious
tendencies. 1t is the rule OF this
choice that makes necessary so many
social reforms. 1t is the difference
between the steady reaso and the
capricious passion. as Burke points
out.-Ohio State Journal.

SAM COOKS PHILOSOPHY

Sam B. Cook has the right idea,
says the Paris Appeal. A young poll
tician was telling him how ne was
going to pour gall and wormwood in
to the vitals of a political foe. Don't
do it, said Sam, don't be against any
body, else you will queer the game and
damage your influence. Pick out
your man and be for him so enthusi-
astically that you will forget there
ever was such a thing as an enemy
or an opponent. Sam weilds potent
influence all up and down the State.
He gained this influence and main
tains it by practicing what he was
preaching to this young man. He
works like a Turk for the man of his
choice and treats the other fellow with
so much courtesy and consideration
that nobody is sore when the battle
is over. A wise old wizard is Sam,
Would that more would-be leaders
could be pupils in his school of in
struction.

To Fix Uniform
Grain Grades

A bill has been introduced in the
House of Representatives by Con-
gressman Ruby of this State, elected
from the Sixteenth district, the title
of which is: "a Bill for Securing the
Uniform Grading of Grain, Prevent
ing Deception in Transactions in
Grain, and Regulating Traffic there
in, and for Other Purposes" The
bill was referred to the Committee on
Agriculture, and was reported upon
by that committee favorably with the
recommendation that it do pass. This
bill is in the interest of every farmer
and grain-raiser in the country, and
will become law if they will let their
Congressman and Senators know that
they want it. The bill is designed to
fix and establish uniform grades in
grain and to encourage trade in grain
under these uniform standards. The
passage of the bill will authorize the
Secretary of Agriculture not only to
fix and establish the grades, hut will
compel their use wherever grain is
shipped in interstate or foreign CON-
merce and sold by grade.

"If one-tenth of the cost of the

dress before the Southwestern Lum-
bermen's Association in Kansas re-
Gently.
Mr.. Powell maintained that the
small town newspaper is the greatest
advertising medium and urged the
lumbermen to begin patronizing their
home papers.

aims" he said. "They are: to make

sention and create local pride. He
will do the last three without pay il
the merchants will relieve him of the

When William Penn secured the
grant to the great Commonwealth
which bears his name, he satisfied
debt of sixteen thousands pounds
sterling which his fathers estate held
against the British Crown. The ter
ritory thus secured, comprising about
thirty million acres of wilderness,
cost him at the rate of one quarter
of cent per acre.

man purchased a small parcel of land

at the rate of fourteen and one-half
million dollars per acre.
"Why? Because it was a profita-
Bile investment; made so by the stra-
tegic position of our city, and the re-
sources of our community"

MORGAN'S PANAMA
SLIDE PREDICTION

The Louisville Courier-Journal re-
prints from its columns an interview
it published in 1905 with the late SEN
ator Morgan from Alabama, advocate
of the Nicaragua Canal route and
fierce opponent of the Buneau-Varril-
la intrigue and the plot through
which the Panama strip was seized.
Particularly interesting among the ar
guments against the Panama route
is the following in the interview:
"Time will prove the correctness of
my views. The earth and the water
surrounding Panama are wholly un-
adapted for canal such as this coun-
try should have and such as the world
should have and such permanent ca
nal as the Nicaragua route would
give. The work on the canal will
hardly begin before the slide will oc-
cur and as the canal is deepened these
slides will become more frequent and
violent"
Senator Morgan was 83 when he
said this. Perhaps he had that clair
voyance, with which some aged per-
sons seem to be gifted. More probab-
ly, however, he spoke from an exhaus-
tive knowledge of the physical condi-
tions at Panama, for no other states
man had devoted as painstaking and
prolonged a study to the merits of
the two routes. Time already has in
part "proved the correctness of his
views" Let us hope that it is not
going to prove them correct in their
entirety. If the slides really "become
more frequent and violent" as the
years go on, it will mean one of the
most humiliatirg disasters tc the ma
tional sensibilities the country has ev-
er cxperienced.-Po -Post-Dispatch.

"Uncle" Joe Kershaw of a few miles
south of town was pleasant caller
at this office few days ago. He said
that since the first of the year he
had liberated the pet squirrels that
he kept in the swinging cage in his
yard during the "open season. for
squirrels in 1915, but that they had
kept pretty close to the cage which
he put in the back yard and left open
for their use. He places food for the
frisky little animals in the cage and
they seem to enjoy the comforts there
better than the larger freedom of the
woods. They go and come, of course,
just as they like, as they are never
fastened in the cage any more
