THE MAGIC CHILD.

Miriam Finn Scott, in Good House
keeping: In the ledgers OF our hearts
the debit columns are frequently writ
ten full and black with our children's
Indebtedness to us-to US, overwork
ed, self sacrificing, loving, and de-
voted parents. The ledgers show to
our eyes that we have given to our
children our all; and the only returns
we can see for our investment of
love and devotion are Righteousness,
5selfishness, disobedience, discourtesy,
perhaps stupidity, items which make
us feel that we have spent our all to
no purpose. In our frantic depression
we feel that we have failed; and we
despairingly ask ourselves, why, when
we have given all we had to give,
should we fail?
There may be many answers, or
component elements OF the full an
swer, to this despairing question of
our hearts, but / am here going to
deal with one answer. We fail be-
cause we expect too quick results,
because we are too impatient for the
child's development We want i'm
mediate profits from our investment.
We fail because we try to iInpIant
excellent precepts, and from them
we expect Immediately to spring
magically perfect child.
There are few more important
rules to remember in connection
with the training of children than to
ignore 80 per cent. of the children's
mistakes; to notice only the signific-
ant points. only those of the child's
bad manners or bad habits that act
ually spell destruction, that mean a
serious injury either to the child
himself, 70 othef chiIdrel, Or to I'M
portant property. One important
point noticed at the right time and
in as few words as possible.

MARSHALL, THE PHILOSOPHER

The vice president, mellowing in the sunshine
of a pleasant and not too strenuous official cx-
perience, has reached the state of phiosophic
calm He took part in the campaign for Jo-
seph E. Dayies, who was the democratic nomi
nee for senator in Wisconsin, without losing
his poise Mr.. Marshall is not worrying about
the future. He sees but one issue now-loyalty
to the cause in which engaged. But he
has made up his mind to one thing: when the
war is over he is ''going to be against all Dol
sbevist and I. W. w. movements He init
mates that he will fix a longer and broader
course for himself later, but just now the prn-
cipal business Of the American people is to win
the war. He is deeply interested in the next
loan He expects it viii be a great success
There isn't anything wrong with the temper of
the people, and they will take the loan.' The
vice president shows spirit of sweet reason
ableness. His campaign in Wisconsin did him
no HARM What it did to Mr.. Davies is an
other story. Some seasoned observers believe
that Mr.. Marshall spilled the political beans,
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1918-04-04
but he shows no deep regret and doubtless Will
welcome Mr.. Lenroot to the senate with all the
grace that abides in him.
THE spy PROBLEM.

The government is considering the adoption
of different practice in its treatment OF spies.
The secret service has hitherto suppressed as
far as possible all news of its spy-hunting ac-
tivities; but the proposed departure will give
wide publicity to all the facts concerning them
and their work, thus putting the people on the
track of the miscreants and encouraging loyal
citizens to run them down.
Probably this course will be wise. Certainly
some change of practice is imperatively re-
Iquired, for this is spy-infested country and
our government has made comparatively little
Roadway in bringing them to book. Americans
returning from Europe find with dismay that
a silent, insidious viper propaganda flourishes
here as nowhere else on earth But our govern
ment is able now to deal effectively with these
scoundrels when it catches them, and their pun
ishment has been of late more nearly common
surate with their offense A disloyal pacifst
preacher in Vermont has just been properly
sentenced to fifteen years in the federal peni-
tertiary, and the senate is considering drastic
measures for suppressing the detestable I. W.
w. whose criminal activities in the forests of
the great northwest have held up the produc-
ton of timber for which the government has
such vital need for aeroplanes and ships.
Evidently the government and the people are
beginning to realize the folly of permitting
traitors and spies to obstruct a war for world
wide freedom in which we are spending twenty
billion dollars and are sending million men to
France.

THE GOOD OLD U. S. A."

George Pattullo, in the Saturday
Evening Post Europe! l wouldn't
give half an acre of American soil
for all I've seen-not II l had to live
over here. 1t isn't that the European
countries aren't beautiful, for they are
perhaps lovelier than our more rug
ged land can ever hope to be. and
they have everything to make exist
ence easy and comfortable. But the
life is belittling, and that's the truth.
What the causes back OF it may be |
don't know-probably it's their social
system; anyhow, Europeans aren't so
broad-gauged as Americans. OF
course, the average European would
boot at that. He considers an Anl-
erican an uncouth barbarian, because
the American happens to have Gus
toms that differ from his own; but
he's welcome to his delusion-
The European thinks and acts by
rule Of thumb. He is suspicious of
his neighbors and hates other nation
alities. Now, with all our faults, as
Ia people. we don't hate anybody. We
haven't time. Anyway, what's the
use? Besides, why should we? A
man hates for two reasons-envy and
fear We aren't afraid of anybody so
you could notice it, and we don't
have to envy any nation.
My own theory about the difference
between the European and American
viewpoint is that ours is land of
hope. Over here there isn't much
ahead for the average man, his OPP
portunities are SO limited. and that
makes him spiteful. But in the Unit
ed States, any live wire with brains
can get a strangle hold on the whole
round earth if he Is man enough to
go after it, SO he has small time for
envy Of other peoples and such lit.
tleness.
In Europe they are long past the
noon of achievement and we-well,
we're facing the dawn.
Our people will De tremendously
changed, though, at the end of this
business Mixing with al kinds OF
nationalities, the boys are broaden
ing a lot. They'll have new ideas of
geography and the other peoples OF
the earth, and they will junk lot OF
shibboleths Of the past.
And America will have to be mighty
careful about immigration. About so
per cent. of the young folks you talk
to over here say they're going to the
United States when the war Is over.
Unless their own governments pro-
hibit emigration, Wen have to put up
the bars or Do fairly swamped. They
think we're the luckiest people alive.
