IT WAS A MISTAKE

Anthony Richardson, father Of Hayden
Richardson, who recently leased the Doug
las Apartments, is not associated with his
son in the leasehold as was stated in the
last issue Of Cayton's Weekly In relating
the incident last week the reported asoscia-
ton Of father and son seemed to us most
beautiful. What perfectly charming eli
max of a long and useful life on the part
OF the father at about the close of it to have
an opportunity to associate himself in bust
ness with his only son, who though but in
the prime Of life, yet had been exceedingly
successful in his efforts in getting together
sufficient money to take over so large an
undertaking as that and to have as his
fright bower" his aged father. Years ago
after we had wandered from the land of
our childhood and found ourselves in Sc
attic it occurred to us if Pa was only here
and could be made to feel that he was a
partner in our business, thouh he really
had no actual cash invested and though he
was too feeble to perform any Of the duties
attached thereto, we would be the happiest
mortal on earth, but it was not in the cards
and death found him a better partnership
than even we could have made for him, but
it is still one of the things which did not
take place, that, periodically causes us a
heart ache. He is not real father who
does not see in his son greater things than
IN the son OF any one else and he is not
dutiful and loving son, who does not see in
his father in spite Of his faults more good
than bad. How our heart bleeds for that
mother with a hayward son or daughter,
who always tries and verify does find a
plausible if not justifable excuse for the
shortcomings Of that hayward child she
bore. 1t there be such a thing as the
mother lobe Of love it is centered in such
a mother. Not long since the writer saw a
prominent Seattle man coming down the
street and hanging on his arm was his
aged father, who had not lived life that
the world calls ideal and his indiscretions
had left him an invalid in his closing years
but the son overlooked all Of his shortcom-
lngs and therefore handled him with the
same care and consideration as if the de-
creplt father had million dollars and he
was pretending to be kind to him that he
might not at the last moment change his
mind and will his fortune to another. TO
that young business man we took our hat
on and though it had been months since
we had spoken to him, on account of polti
cal differences the next time we met him
we shook his hand begged his pardon and
asked that the past be forgotten That boy
we knew was kind to his aged father and
ne was the kind of young man we admire.
The father who is kind to his son and the
son who is mindful of his father ALWAYS
make good citizens and are honored and
respected by the world and his family.

a great balance wheel to the whole The
Pacific Coast Steel Company is an institu-
ton that not only Seattle can feel proud
of, it being in existence within her con-
fines, but the state of Washington should
feel equally proud. You, who have never
seen it in operation, have not the slightest
idea of how extensive this great industry is
and you will not believe it even when you
read this and you can not believe it until
you have actually seen it.

university, ana for eighteen months
associated with H. c. Hoover III the
direction OF the Belgian Relief COM
mission, is in Washington seeking
entrance to one OF the officers re-
serve training camps. Mr.. Glenn
served for two months with the
American ambulance corps in France,
after the American commissioners
withdrew from the Belgian work. he
came to this country on the hrsJ
available ship after the state OF war
with Germany was declared. While
Mr.. Glenn does not believe that Ger
many will eventually win, he does
feel that the seriousness OF the task
of defeating her has not been realized
in the United States, and in his opln-
ion the English censorship is largely
responsible for this excessive opIl-
mism.

WAR WILL DEPEND
on VNITED STATES
Four or Five Hundred Thousand Men
in France viii Lessen Its
Duration.

To the Editor of The State:
The result of the European wal
seems to depend largely upon the ac'
tion of the United States. The Euro
pean powers are pretty evenly match-
ed with Russia actively engaged. Ii
Russia withdraWs or ceases from
strenuous effort. the preponderance
will be on the side of Germany, Aus
tria-Hungary and the insufferaole
Turk. and Russia, in my opinion, Is
at least a very uncertain element.
Her ienorant. stupid and hitherto ell
slaved population seem to be going
mad under the intoxication Of a
liberty heretofore unknown and ull-
tasted by them. | hope | misjudge
them. but l fear that they will very
soon become so completely absorbed
in domestic dissension, and probably
bloodshed, that they will make peace
with Germany Or at least cease to
prosecute with any vigor the war on
either the European or the Asiatlc
front. Those Russians are not bad
people. but they are g vast horde OF
children suddenly freed from all re-
straint. And like our negro calling
for 40 acres and mule, shortly after
our War Of Secession, they already
evince a craving for plumber and
disrelish for the war.
-Four or FIVE hundred thousand OF
our brave, energetic young men on
European soil would soon complete
the heroic work Of the French and
British armies. Without them it IS
hard to say what is to be expected
but certainly, with them at the bat"
tle front the struggle will not be as
protracted as it now threatens to be-
I am sorry that am too old to go
with them. But I sometimes wonder
if there may not be some arrange
ment by which the Confederate vet
eran could be with them on the
charging line and enjoy once more
the glorious sound Of the rebel yell
and feel the electric thrill Of battle.

NIGRT SCHOOLS
AID PATRIOTISM

In a State where more than one
fourth CT the people are iliiterate,
and as many more, little better than
illiteGates; one can scarcely do more
patriotic work than help train this
great mass CT men and women, and
the most effective way to reach them
is through the night schools.
Fifty per cent. of South Carolina IS
not under cultivation, and much that
is produces only a small portion of
what. it is capable.
In this day when patriotism is need
ed in garden and field; when the
whole world is looking to America Tor
food. and thousands of lives depend
on our ability to furnish it; since
illiterates are not accepted in the
army. now is the time to train them
for the battle of life. teaching how
ever to save and produce rather than
to destroy.
While teaching illiterates to read
and write, they and thousands OF 9TH
ers, can be brought together two OF
three times a week to study govern
ment or Clemson extension bulletins,
or truck farming, fruit growing, can
ming, good roads, sanitation, fores-
try, ETC., and so learn how best to
supply the needs of the country.
The first step in. organizing night
schools is, after securing teachers,
to call community meeting and have
a speaker outline the work. The peo-
pie have already been told of the des-
yerate need for food over the whole
world, but they have not been organiz-
ed into schools to learn how best
to supply this need. At the end OF
the meeting pupils should be enroll
ed and school begun at once.
Later in the summer when the crops
are "laid by" schools will be found
successful in rural districts if held
from 2::30 to 500 p. m.
Literary Digest clubs might do
good for literates where a copy IS
subscribed for every six members
who will each keep it one day and
pass it on, then will meet once a week
to discuss topics of most interest.
Night schools are equally effective
in city; town, mill or rural commune
ty, and to help with this work should,
now more than ever, be considered
an act of patriotism. For every man
and woman not actively employed In
the army, navy, or Red Cross; here
is your chance to serve.

NOT YET AGREED
UPON ARMY BILL

Washington. May S.-Two more
conferences today on the war army
hill failed to bring senate and house
committees together and adjournment
was taken tonight with the prospects
of an agreement still doubtful.
The big point of difference still was
the senate amendment to permit Col.
roosevelt to take a volunteer expe-
ditionary force to France.
House conferees stood out strongly
AGAINST this amendment and the only
hone for an agreement was said to-
night to lie in the possibility OF the
senate giving up on the point. In re-
a,rn. it was said, the house conferees
roight be willing to accept the age
limit of 21 to 27 in the senate bill for
those subject to the selective draft
Efforts tomorrow will centre on
snch a compromise and if it can not
hbe agreed upon it is probable the bills
will be returned to the two houses and
Rrther instructions asked by the con-
il yrees.
