Training to Be Kind

Author OF The Riddle OF Person
ality." Psychology and
Parenthood." etc.

Training a child to be sympa.
tbetic. humane. and kind is much
more than a matter OF preaching
these virtues to him. In fact. IL il
primarily a matter OF giving him
object lessons In kindness and sur
rounding him with an atmosphere
Of kindness.
Many parents forget this. They
think they are doing all that they
need to do when they rebuke q child
for unkind words and acts. and tell
him again and again just why he
should be kind.

The Time Comes For Us
to Shoot Straight; Let's
Get SObered Up For 1t!

Now that we are in the war game, the
time for argument is past and we must
turn our attention to preparedness, con-
servation and the different means of
safeguarding our people at home and at
the front.
Our first concern is for the brave men
who must do the fighting, and it Is the
duty of this country to send them out
as fit as it can and with the best possible
chances for coming thru the conflict
alive and with arms and legs intact.
To be a soldier it is advisable to know
how to carry gun and shoot straight
To stand I'D. shoot straight, whether it
be rifle or machine gun, that is big
thing.
In order to do this four things are
necessary.
One must have a clear head, a true
eye, a firm grip and steady legs.
In fact, ones whole organism must be
what il ought 20 be or his chances are
Exceedingly slim for q return to his own
Preside.
We must put our minds to work on
this subject and see how it can be &C
complished !,
First Of al, every eSuntry chooses
young, strong, healthy men, with good
eyes, ears. legs, arms, even teeth. So
far so good.
Next, it trains them. Good, also.
Next, it intends to feed them properly
and attempts to give them sanitary
quarters.
All well and good.
But of course none Of this amounts to
much in the matter of "saftey first un-
less the man can make use of these ad-
vantages; in fact, UNLESS THE MAN
Is SOBER.
A strong, young man, partially under
the influence of liquor is about as capable
and Trustworthy as baby that would
walk deliberately off high scaffolding
or INTO rushing river.
He can shoot about as straight as an
old man with palsy.
His chances on getting thru are about
in the ratio of TO 80.
He is the victim of the slightest acct
dent.
We have been told that bill is about
to be introduced in Washington by Cal
ifornian representative asking for ma
tional prohibition. The gentleman
name is Randall, and we commend Mr..
Randall for his good sense.
1t is the business of congress to pass
national prohibition as a humane and
necessary part of the program Of pre-
paredness.
We viii need all the Drawn, the brain.
the blood we possess. Let US then begin,
at once, 10 conserve it.

The Gist of Democracy
~ Or. PRANK CRANE
tCopyright 1915. by Frank Crane)

VIM you explain, asks correspond
ent, this oft-repeated statement, the
majority is right'1 History proves that
II is not fact At certain stages Of our
great movement the minority has been
right and the majority wrong. The
majority was wrong the other day, for
instance, when woman suffrage was
voted down in our state"
or course the majority is not always
right; neither is the minority.
But when We claim that the essence
OF democracy is that the majority should
rule we do not at all imply that il is
necessarily right
Democracy does not mean that the
people are right.
Democracy means that THE PEG
PIE GET WHAT THEY WANT, right
or wrong.
1t means that somebody else, n king
or an aristocracy or q dictator, does not
decide for them and tell them what they
ought to do or must do.
In monarchy the r1er has the say,
and the people take the consequences.
In other words, responsibility is placed
on one party and decision on the other.
Democracy puts decision and respon-
sibllity upon the same shoulders.
At the present time in Germany few
men in authority took such action as
plunged the nation into war. And it
is not this group of men, it is the COM
mon people who reap the results; it
is they who do the dying and pay the
bills.
II anybody is to determine when war
shall be declared it ought to be those
who when war comes have TO go out and
be shot
1t has been said that there is no
science of government. Sometimes this
seems TO be true. But certain IL is that
whatever science Of government exists
includes as its main ingredient the prin-
ciple that action and responsibility ought
to be borne by the same person
That is the gist of the American dec-
laration at the time of the Revolution,
that there should be mo taxation with
out representation.
And il is not so necessary that n people
should always do what is right al IL 10
that they should be free TO do what they
want TO do.
Nobody. no human. knows what In
right. We can only do the best we can.
Progress is by experiment, not by GER
tainty.
And nation, as an individual, grows
by mistakes. provided II can make rs
own mistakes and take it's own conse-
quences.
Some of us think that woman sur
frage, prohibition, or single tax would
be a good thing. But we must remsm-
Der that nothing is good, NOT even the
millennium, until the people choose u
for themselves.
We find a deal Of fault with our city
governments. our state and national
governments, but the fact is that thsy
are just about what the people want or
we would not have them.
And the way TO get better things In
not to impose them upon the people by
force or craft, but to induce the people
who want them hard enough TO 60 after
them.
A democracy. in fine, is not a state
where the people always do right, but
state where they can make their own
