Reading for a Boy.

We wish we could get the boys to
read "In Tune With the Infinite" Lub-
books pleasures of Life" Drum
monds Natural Law in the Spiritual
World" Wagner's 1.-The Simple Life"
Serviss' Astronomy With an Opera
GLASS;" and similar books, all of which
could be read in the time that boy
usually fritters away. 1t needn't take
away a moment of the time devoted to
fun and play, though it might divide
time with the usual branches of study.
We speak of the above books be-
cause they tend to awake ones divine
energies and make ones life nobler
and happier. The greatest part of
lad is his spirit. With that, impulses.
aspirations and tendencies are created.
Without it, his life becomes negative
and tOgue. These books in places may
be little difficult to appreciate, but
boy can get some flavor from them
that will be decided benefit to him.
1t is the way to acquire diligence, pur-
pose. insight into the meaning of
things the love of duty, the grand
heights of self-reliance, traits and
qualities that glorify boy.
The fact is the boys spirit is mis-
used at home and school because 1t Is
not fed on the food that strengthens
1t. 1t cyphers and parses and refuses
to admit to its heart. courtesy. cour-
nge work. aspiration. reverence and
other divinities that are knocking to
get in. The reading of these books
will change all that and actually put
boy in tune with the infinite.-Ohio

UNFAIR TO FARMER.

MY ideas on the tax question have
changed" says a prominent farmer
II used to think saloons paid taxes.
They simply collect them, and give
worse than nothing in return. The
license money that some nearsighted
folks think is such big thing, comes
out of their customers, every dollar of
1t. And then We sober, Woodworking
farmers have to pay more taxes to
keep up expenses Of courts, prisons,
asylums, poor houses and jails than

ment to man to do his best. 1t will
| evoke his finest qualities; only under
such condition will men truly be un-
equal.
There will always be leaders; there
will always be men to be led. There
are men who want to lead. who want
to be powerful. They will find their
place.
1T Is natural for some men to want
power. Today In America money Is
power. To be powerful the American
accumulates money. Not for the money
Itself; man can use so much and no
more, the rest he works to give away.
The normal man wants money for the
power 1t brings with 1t. Only the
miser, the unbalanced man, wants
money for itself.
Money Means Power Here.
I'm other countries, Russia and Ger
many, for Instance, reputation Is pow
er. Equally great minds are attracted
by the power that attaches itself to n
great scientific reputation or that of n
great artist, an inventor or a renowned
physician. In the United States, how
ever-called by many the land of
money-money alone is power. Here
the most frequent way to acquire pow
er Is to acquire money first.
"Under socialism the true leader
will be in the right place. Money will
not be necessary; the man with abb.
ity will have power"
The labor situation was described
graphically by Doctor Steinmetz.
industrial reorganization Is taking
place. All forces are working toward
it. The Socialist party represents po-
litical power, the unions industrial
power.
'Syndicalism, however, consider n
symptom Of labor unrest totally un-
American. The members of the or
ganization are generally foreign pau
per labor. These men cannot be
reached by political or Industrial or
ganization. You will never find a
strong Socialist party or labor union
where the Industrial Workers Of the
World is flourishing.
"Only a nation with wide open doors
to immigrants would have such n prob
lem. 1t exists nowhere else, except
perhaps In the English colonies. In a
homogeneous nation the problem of
sporadic labor unrest does not exist"
Labor Unions Grow Strong.
Labor unions are growing stronger,
Doctor Steinmetz explained. The So.
cialist party is growing stronger. But
the pressure, indirect, brought on the
other political parties brings about
more socialistic measures than If the
Socialist party were in office.
"Under social democracy" said Doc
tor Steinmetz, under the pressure OF
the Socialist party everywhere, the
parties in opposition and in power
have been forced to consider measures
that are fundamentally sOcialistic. II
is a sign of the beginning. The direct
pressure behind the political parties in
power Is showing its effect. The coun
try is becoming soclalistic, no matter
what party is victorious. Socialism
is coming"
So predicts the master mind of cleo
tricity, the man who stands head and
shoulders above his fellow workers
the oracle among them.

~LIQUID BREAD"

This true story about the "harm-
lessness" Of beer is told by the Tenn
perance society Of the Methodist
Episcopal church:
"Some time ago an advertisement
asserting that beer is liquid bread
and Temperance drink fell under
the eye of man who had never taken
q drink in his life. He was a me
chanic, making good wages. He had
a wife and two children, owned his
home, and was in every sense of the
word a man Of strong character and
Of worth to his country.
1.-THE liquid bread Temperance
drink converted him to the use
of beer. In time he introduced it into
his home.
"Some months later he returned
home after an absence Of three days.
When he entered the house he was
'beer-drunk'-soggy, stupid, brutal with
the brutality that delights in pervert-
&c forms of cruelty.
"When he entered the living room
something angered him. 1t may have
been the reprOach he read in his wifes
face. He knocked her down. went on
into the bed room where he found
his two children asleep, cut their
throats. and when his wife, hav-
ing recovered, entered the door and
screamed. knocked her down again and
crushed her SKULL literally kicking out
her brains.
This man declared that he had
never TASTED anything but beer in his
life. There is no reason to disbelieve
him."

IMMORTALITY CHARGE TESTIFIED IN COURT
 IN OSBORNE TRIAL
William Willett, IT,, Former Congressman, a Witness Against Warden of
 Sing Sing Prison

White Plains, N. Y, March 13.-Testi- mony designed to show that Thomas Mott Osborne had full knowledge of alleged immoral conditions existing at Sing Sing prison while he was warden there, was brought out by the prosecution at the trial of Osborne, which began here today. William Willett, Jr, a former congress- man who was imprisoned in Sing Sing for buying a supreme court judgeship nomination in Queens county, and James Harvey, also prison inmate, were the principal witnesses against Osborne. The indictment against the former warden, charging perjury is based on his testi- mony last October before Dr. Rudolph Ddedling. a state prison commissioner W ho conducted an Investigating at Sing Sing Osborne testified before Dr. Died- ling that there is no immortality so far as the prison is concerned.
 After Harvey, upon whose story of immortality three inquiries of Sing Sing prison were conducted, had tes tified to conditions there, Willett was called His testimony as to the extent of Osborne's knowledge of the alleged immoral conditions was associated by the prosecution with documentary evil dence in the form of Mutual Welfare league complaint and punishment slips. These papers recited the charges and showed the sentences imposed by the league on it's offending members. This organization was inaugurated by Os- borne to aid his reform from within" plan.
 Throughout cross examination of Willett counsel for Osborne sought to bring out that Willett, disgruntled be- cause Osborne had denied him special privileges at Sing Sing, had aided the prosecution in the preparation of the perjury accusation in the hope that he would soon be paroled. Willett denied this. He said Osborne told the prison CTS he would go to prison himself be- fore he would disclose what he knew of their cases.

EXPUNGED REMARK
 OF SOCIALIST FROM
 RECORD OF HEARING
A. l.. Benson, Candidate for President of the Socialist Party, Declares Wilson
 Told "Untruth'

Washington, March 1s-Allan l.. Ben son of Yonkers N. Y., socialist candi- date for the presidency, criticized Pres- ident Wilson's advocacy of preparedness in such blunt terms before the House naval committee today that Chairman Padgett expunged the remarks from the record He was permitted to continue his argument against war preparations after being warned that the committee would not tolerate further improper references to the President
 MT. Benson angrily protested against the chairman's attitude saying he would withdraw if he was before "a Russian committee" Representative Roberts of Massachusetts, republican, urged that the witness be allowed to make his state ment without interference, but the chair man sustained objections by Representa- tives Oliver of Alabama and Talbot of Maryland, democrats, who had interpoSed when MT. Benson declared flatly that the President had said what he knew to be untrue when he asserted in his Cleveland speech that the country should prepare for defense at once, and that nobody knew what the next day might bring forth.
 The committee heard during the day representatives of the American Peace society, the anti-preparedness committee, and other opponents of increased mili- tary and naval expenditures. Mir. Ben son was called by the undergraduates committee. lie insisted that the United States was in no danger of invasion; that the government knew 'it could accept war or reject war as it chose; that talk of preparedness was inspired by such men as Gen. Leonard Wood, and that the people of the country would not en- dure the expense involved in the admin istration army and navy programme.

AMERICANS REUNITED

And in the meantime. there is sig nificant harmony in America. It is taken as proof of the fact that while Ameri- cans, in time of peace, may differ among themselves, in time of war they weld themselves together in unbreakable bands of patriotism
 When Wilson authorized the punitive invasion, Congress, with which he has been for long at war sent up a shout of approval. No man has or will criti- cize his course of procedure William Jennings Bryan, apostle of peace and platonic friendship, declared in formal interview that the President has acted wisely.
 And William Howard Taft, whose course since his retirement from the of flee of President. has, according to a boisterously applauded speech in the House yesterday, been marked by excel lent spirit and uniform patriotism. says that no man in honor could have done other than Wilson did.
 But no one is deceived into believing that the invasion, punitive in character as it is, will be in after years regarded as "jaunt of holiday"

POLITICAL COMPLICATIONS

If the troops are directed again and with emphasis to capture Villa, and in the pursuit much time is consumed, what will be the political situation in Mexico?
 In the first place, there is no ques- ton but that General Carranza is at heart delighted in that America is at tempting to solve his most intricate and irritating problem. At the same time, it something of a protest against the inva- sion of Mexico by American troops. he will lose his position as national hero and chieftain.'' He will be put in the attitude of admitting that the suppress sion of Villa and the restoration of peace are culminations in excess of and be- yond his power
 And if he does protest, and the United States ignores his protest. then will he. take action tantamount to a coalition with Villa and oppose by force American progress? And what of Diaz? While not being a Villa partisan, he is, violent opponent of Carranza. He will of neces- sity take a position against the invasion, although he may not resort, as a final expedient, to arms.
 In the opinion of local experts, there is every reason to fear that unless Villa is captured or killed quickly, the United States will be at war with Mexico, it's chieftains arrayed for once under a sin gle banner. In that event it will be nee essary that the United States take the bull by the horns and so thoroughly "clean up that the irritating situation which now prevails will never again pre- xrai
