For Children
Peter learns Others Value.


"Mamai Ma-mahi Make Peter leave
our playhouse alone!
This was from Patty and as no
sound came from the house Peter
pushed over a O that formed part
of the wall of the house the twins
were building.
The twins waited for no more but
with wild howls flung themselves on
Peter. 1t was Peters turn to yell for
help and he lott no time.
Mama you make these kids leggo
my hair. L never done nothin' to
their oil. house. OUGHT Mama!"
AS there was still no sound from
the house they stopped fighting n
went to see about il. Generally, their
fight brought Mama to the scene at
once
"Where's Mama?" they demanded
of Jane who was busting.
II don't know but I just have the
baby asleep and if you wake him
there will be trouble"
The children tip-toed through the
house and no trace Of Mama could
they find SO they sought Norah IN
the kitchen.
IL don't know said Norah sourly
in answer to their question but /
expect she's run off. I would If l
had three kids that cut up like you
kids do: Why i knew a I'M oDct

after a while their dad got tired OF
takin' care of 'em and got 'em a step
ma and she sure made EN- toe the
mark, Some one seen r woman a
long time after and asked her hat
made her do it. She said that the kids
fought SO much that she had to get
out or go crazy"
The children went quietly out on the
porch and sat side by side in the
swing. They were too scared to even
CRY.
They burst into Wild sobs however
when Mama appeared about five min
ntes later, and she had hard work
explaining to them that she had been
to call on a sick neighbor.
MAMA" said Prissy, hugging her
till she almost clicked her. would
you run off an leave us even If we
were just awful bad?"
"Of course not" said Mann.
But Peter shook his head soberly.
Lets not give her q chance. kids.
If just thinkin' she was gone was so
bad what would 1t be like If she
really was to go?"

Pacing the life and habits of the
specie known as the Commuter is hard
on the speedometei. The commuter
is always six hops ahead of everybody,
else, and a half dozen laps behind
himself, job and home. In the early
snores of the morning before the sun
opens shop, the suburban alarm tick
ers buzz a jazz intermittent tinkle, a
set of size ten heels kick the covers,
bounce ON the floor and the commut-
er is wound up for the days run. He
trots into his clothes, sprints the
washup, PAGES through breakfast, gal
lops for the RATHER, relays along with
the days work, dashes for the return
strap chariot, skids on the evening
chow, mooches to the front porch,
stumbles through the paper, limps a
pipeful, and finally tows himself to
the husks a fat-tire. Set the alarm
for 4:30, read over again, and you
have the commuter race dope for the
next day.

"Curley locks" and L r great
I friends, in fact b persuaded me to
| write.
L haven't been for my vacation as
yet. but 1 have gone on several all
DAY picnics.
A few Sundays ago we started in
the morning in our automobile for
New York, there in Central Park we
saw the NC-4, the only sea-plane that
crossed the ocean After seeing that
we rode all over New York, up and
down Fifth avenue, Riverside Drive
and a great many other streets. We
certainly had a good time.
Last Wednesday we went by train
to see the Pennington fair. There we
saw racing, the smallest woman in the
world and numberless other things.
Don't 0 think it Is lovely to go out
for a whole day?
Don't get discouraged yet. Helen,
our orne will soon grow, Oh! SO
large. I believe it will take about
three times as much paper as at pres
ent. -
I'll close now. with love to every-
body.
"DIMPLE."
Well "Dimple' I am sure that the
girls will all enjoy your letter and
you certainly must write again.
You are getting right along in school
aren't you. Just think a few years
more and you will be going to a Nor
NAL school or a college and then 1
suppose you will forget all about
Helen.
l surely do enjoy one day trips or
picnics. and take them when ever 7
can. l wish all my girls had had
the opportunity to see the NC-4. In
fact "Dimple' I only wish I might
have seen it myself. I thought I
would, until / was informed that it
wasn't Coming 30 Perth Amboy as
had been rumored.
I am sure you must have seen many
wonderful things at the fair. A long
time ago 1 spent a day at the big fair
they Dbl every year in Trenton and
I certainly did have a good time too.
l am glad "Curley Locks" and you
are friends. She won't have to per-
sudae you to write again, will she?

Dear Helen and Girls:

time, but just thought I'd write again
to tell you how much I enjoy the col
umn.
1 thing it's great fun. I read "Ro1-
ly's" letter and she seemed to think
seventeen year old girls were too old
to write, but "Rolly,' I'm seventeen,
or rather will be on the Both of this
month, SO wen If we two are the old
est in the Club, see how nice it is to
have so many younger sisters and
friends.
I am very anxious to hear from the
Girl who travelled from the West. I'd
love to read her adventures.
Again wishing the column every
success, i remain.
Sincerely,
Wx BEE"
I thing the column great fun too,
Bee and even though 1 thought I
would have to give it up a short time
ago, I now wish it might go on Inc
on forever. However I'll promise to
keep it as long as my girls remain in

I'm sure wen hear from u west

the coming of the negro, many OF
those principles have departed. Peo-
pie of the North have come to real
ize that in the absence of the negro
they could believe in political and So
cial equality of the races, but that
whenever the negro in any large
number come into a community or
State, that belief is swept away by
that which is greater than constitu
tional or legislative enactment; (;
namely, a new instinct of human
being. We can provide employment
for every negro who in recent years
left the South, but if they have been
inoculated with the doctrines being
preached through the negro press of
the North and entertain any desire
for social or political equality we
have in the South no employment for
them and no room for them.
cit is stated that in inducing ne
groes to emigrate from the South to
Chicago, negro employment leagues
have held hope of social equality, and
negroes upon their arrival are taken
to the royal garden where they
are permitted to mingle with the de-
based white women who frequent
that resort. There is no room in any
Southern State for any negro who
has been entertained at the royal
garden His return to the South
with his boast of conquest can only
result in exciting the lust of some in
nocent negro and causing his early
death. For Notwithstanding all of
the efforts that have been made by
the press and pulpit to discourage
lynching, the fact remains that when
even negro attacks white woman
in the South only extraordinary
measures can avoid lynching. l
know that it is true lynchings have
taken place for other provocations
and that is the result of public SEN
timent sustaining mob law for any
But the press and pull
pit and leaders of the South have al
ways condemned it, and in my own
State rejoice to say that few lynch
ings have taken place within the last
decade. The peculiar thing to my
mind is that while the negro leaders
and many white men of other sec
lions, join the leaders Of the South
in condemning lynching, they seldom
join us in condemning the crime Of
The negro that provokes the lynch
ing."
This speech created a tremendous
sensation in the house and leaders
after other parliamentary tactics fail

il is expected that Northern members
will reply.

cit gccs without saying that if
our efforts to bring the cost Of living
down fail, after we have had time
enough to establish either success or
failure it will Of course be necessary
to accept the higher csots of living
as permanent basis Of adjustment,
and railway wages should be read
justed along with the rest. All that
I am now urging is that we should
not be guilty of the inexcusable in
consistency Of making general In
creases in wages on the assumption
that the present cost of living will be
permanent at the very time that we
are trying with great confidence to
reduce the cost of living and are
able to say that it is actually begin

Sense of Insecurity.
ST am aware that railway employees
have a sense of insecurity as to the
many misgivings as to whether their
interests will be properly safeguard
ed when the present form Of federal
control has come to an end. No
doubt it is in part this sense Of un-
certainty that prompts them to insist
that their wage interests be adjusted
now rather than under conditions
which they can not certainly foresee.
But do not think that their uneasi-
ness is we'll grounded. l anticipate
that legislation dealing with the fu-
ture of the railroads will in explicit
terms afford adequate protection for
the interests of the employees of the
roads; but quite apart from that, it is
clear that no legislation can make
the railways other than what they
are, a great public interest, (and it
is not likely that the president Of the
! United States, whether in possession
and control of the railroads or not,
! will lack opportunity or persuasive
force to influence the decision Of
questions arising between managers
of the railroads and the railway en-
ployes. The employees may rest as
,sured that during my term Of office,
whether l am in actual possession Of
the railroads or not, l shall not fail
to exert the full influence of the ex-
ecutive to see that justice is done
them.
