TRAINING LITTLE CITIZENS;
FATHERHooD, A PROFESSION

(By Charles F. Rowlison, General Sec.
retary National Child Welfare Ass'n.)
We hear a great deal of the sanctity
of motherhood and of the sacred re-
sponsibilities of the mother; but who
talks about the nobility OF fatherhood
and the wonderful privilege of being
a father? One would almost suppose
that children had but one parent. or
that, beyond the obligation Of sup
port, a father owed nothing to his
children.
As a matter OF fact, just what does
he owe them?
In the first place, he owes them
the best possible Inheritance OF
health and natural strength. II the
fathers of the present generation had
been taught, as schoolboys, that they
owed their children heritage of
physical health. the present genera.
tion OF children would be far health
Ter, happier lot of youngsters.
And having given his children a
healthy heritage. the father should
share with the mother the oversight
Of their children's well-being. know

responsibility about the children's hab-

giving surreptitious candy. by keeping
the children up late to play with them
and thus make her work with them
more difficult. The result is that IA

considered lawfully fussy."
On the mental side. a child. as he
grows older. looks more to his father.
Wise is the father who takes an ac,
tive interest in current events or al
lies himself on the side of local civic
Improvement, for through his example
his children naturally acquire love
of good citizenship.
And on the moral and religious
side, how often is father n mere fig
urehead in his own family? Usually II
is mother who represents the moral
law. or. IL father does take hand, 1t
is merely as the executor of her de-
creed punishment. wait till your

How much children miss, how much

his father in an ideal of bodily vigor,

not mean that father must stand on a

SENATOR SHERMAN TO BE
IN DENVER, JULY 10

Denver, July ga monster Repub,
lican ratification meeting, under the
auspices of the Harding Coolidge club.
the national and state central COM
mittees, will be held at Denver, Sat
urday, July 10, the principal speaker
of the event being Senator Lawrence
Y. Sherman of Illinois.
AS the opening gun OF the fall cam
paign this meeting will be of such a
nature as to attract one OF the largest
audiences ever assembled in Denver.
The Auditorium has been secured for
the occasion and present indications
are every available seat will be taken.
There is an intense interest among
all classes and it will be treat to
hear so able, so popular and so prom,
inent speaker as Senator Sherman.
The arrangements are being COM
pleted under the direction of the Hardl
ing-Coolidge club of Denver of which
Lyndon R. Hubbard is president, aided
by Fred Carroll, representing the ma
tional committee, and Rush Holland of
the state committee. The Olinger quar-
tette has been secured to lead commu-
nifty singing. Mr.. Hubbard will intro,
duce Senator Phipps, who will be the
chairman of the evening and he in
turn will introduce Senator Sherman.
There is probably no man in the
senate today better informed on sub
jects of public interest than Senator
Sherman. He has wonderful COM
mand of language and expresses him
self in fluent manner. He is among
| the few senators who can always COM
mand the close attention OF his col
leagues and there is seldom a vacant
seat on the floor when he is speaking.
He is noted for his ability to make
witty remarks. His coming to Colorado
to open the Republican campaign is a
distinct honor to the state.
Republicans from every part OF Col
orado will be in attendance that eve
ming. The committee will make ev-
cry arrangement possible to see that
all are taken care Of, although the
doors will be thrown open a little aft
er seven and no seats will be reserved
save those on the stage.

to the terrible musS in which the dele gates find themselves.
 All day yesterday and last night bewildered delegates milled around hotel lobbies bewailing the absence of the leadership of real leaders of by. gone days. The delegates find grim satisfaction in referring to the charges of bossism so often hurled during former Republican conventions, and ask if it is not better be led than to be lost without leader.
 Dark horse comment was still pre- vailing when the convention assembl- ed today. Besides Hughes there was @ strong undercurrent last night of oth- CTS. Senator Borah said he would re- gard Hughes as very formidable dark horse if that stage was reached. Many delegates believe that the con vention should find a candidate for the Presidency on the Republican ticket not mentioned in connection with campaign expenses.

 The audience broke into "The Star Spangled Banner" when Hays rapped for order.
 Contrary to custom, the front rows are occupied by California, North Da- kota, Arkansas, Connecticut, Colorado and Virginia. Few old timers were among the delegates.
 Senator Cabot Lodge was elected temporary Chairman. "We must drive Wilson and his destiny from power and must defeat the League of Ma tions," declared Lodge in the key note speech which defended the Senate's opposition to the peace treaty.
 "We make an issue and we ask appreciation for what we have done. The people will now tell us what they think of Wilson's league and the sac rifics of America"
 Chairman Lodge said the time had come to take firm hand in Mexico and end the disgraceful record of the last seven years. Lodge said that the primary duty was for United States to deal with Mexico under the Monroe doctrine yet" we are asked to make mandate for Armenia"
 Chairman Lodge denounced the administration for failure to deal with profiteers and condemned the govern ment ownership of railroads. Senator Lodge during his speech was most bit. ter on the administration of the Mex. ican policy ana many times referred to t. The Treaty and the League of Nations received the most attention in .he keynote speech as the biggest campaign issues.
