been constantly perturbed by menac-

physically, according to Boston Globe.
He is intensely bored by his surround
ings, and spends timei INDOORS writ

HOLLAND REFUSES TO
SURRENDER KAISER
THE HAGUE, Jan. 23.-The Neither
lands government has refused the re-
quest of the allied governments for
the extradition of the kaiser.

The Hague correspondent of the
Tageblatt says the kaiser has grown
much older. The trembling in his
right arm and leg, formerly only just
noticeable, has so increased that it is
apparent at a glance and dominates
his entire appearance. He has grown
very corpulent, though he eats little.
He is still soldierly-looking, although
he seems Of shorter stature. He
speaks slowly, and livens up only
when remembrances of the old days
come to him, which often occur in the
middle of a conversation. "Only pity
can be felt for the kaiser on such oc-
casions," says the correspondent. He
no longer expresses the wish to return
to Germany, which he believes is lost
He feels more than ever that he has
been betrayed by his councillors and
the whole people. His letters are
censored by the Dutch, who treat him
with consideration.

UNITED MAGMA
PROMOTERS ARE
FOUND GUILTY


According to the Mining and Scien-
tifc Press, jury in the district of
southern New York has found a
verdict of guilty against Harry Lef-
kovits and R. V. Stuart for using the
mails to defraud, by selling stock in
wildcat mining company, called the
United Magma mines This company
was Matched during the copper boom
OF 1917, but no work was done until
after the government started an in
vestigation preparatory to an action
for fraudulent use of the mails. The
Lefkovits brothers will be remem-
bered as having made the base of
their operations at Phoenix for a con-
siderable time.
Mr.. Louis Lefkovits was acquitted
and also was the company itself, the
judge dismissing the case against
these two because no definite evi-
dence was available to show that Mr.
Louis Lefkovits knew that his brother
in New York was selling stock The
handling of the property was done by
Louis while Harry peddled the stock.
One hundred thousand dollars worth
of stock was sold of which only $12,-
600 went into the company's treasury,
the difference presumably being loot.
Between April 1917, and January,
1919, the only work done on the prop
erty was location work required to
obtain title to the ground.
Mr.. Louis Lefkovits obtained per-
mission from the state corporation
commission to sell 100000 shares of
treasury stock at 25c per share, his
commission allowed being 20 per
cent. He sold this at so cents to his
brother in New York, making a COM
mission of 30c per share. Louis
claimed that he sold the stock out
right to his brother, Harry, so that
the latter could then do as he pleased
but this version of the deal was not
accepted by the jury.
The property consisted of a string
OF claims adjoining the Magma Cop
per company. The circulars issued
for the purpose of selling stock were
full of the usual irridescent descrip,
tive matter speaking of a gigantic
ore body" having all of the "ear
marks of big mine such as the
Magma, and spoke vaguely of 'pol-
icy of vigorous development
An interesting feature of the pro-
motion is that all of the promotion
stuff was written by Stuart, who was
formerly associated with the motor
ious George Graham Rice. The whole
bunch were nurtured on the pabulum
of the Goldfeld, Nevada, stock boom,
when the entire country was stung on
fake stock promotions That this
method of getting easy money is not
entirely a bed of roses is attested by
the fact that many of these wildcat
ters are now in Jail. 1t will soon be
the turn of the wildcat oil operat> - to
take his medicine for the government
secret service will soon be takirg up
his trail.

RESPON NSIBI1' '"N Tn
OUR BOYS and GIRLS
At Home and school

We are not an advocate of the the
ory that boys and girls are the prop
erty of the state and as such society
should have full responsibility But,
the fact remains that often the teach
er in the public school has a more
vital interest in the boy or girl than
does the parent So the teachers
have the right to say "our boys and
girls
The great problem of the public
school is not primarily to prepare
John or Mary to pass the examina-
tion in arithmetic, grammar and geog-
raphy, but the teachers are vitality
interested in preparing John and
Mary to become the kind of man and
woman that is needed in this country
as good citizens.
One of the best articles that we
| lhave read recently was written by a
''lifer" in the Florence penitentiary.
His article proved that he was good
| in arithmetic, grammar and geogra-
ply, but he had evidently not learned
| the more important American prin-
ciple regarding the rights of himself
and the rights of other folks.
The authority of the school is linn
| tied to that time spent at school and
on the way to and from school. Dur.
| ing that time the child learns the les
sons of the textbook, but when and
where will he learn the other things
necessary to make the intelligent
loyal, thrifty citizen of tomorrow?
Simply explaining principle in
arithmetic to a boy is not sufficient
he is required to put it into practice
and work some problems. Simply
preaching a theory of the rights OF
others will not constrain boy to be
considerate Talks by teachers on
good manners will not be sufficient
to make refined and cultured boys and
girls. The observance of Thrift
Week" will not be sufficient to i'm
press on the minds of the children
the value of considering carefully the
necessity of that expenditure and
whether it will give them returns thai
will justify it.
| We think that the hCme and the
school has full job if they cooperate
in this problem. What does the child
do outside of school? Is he required
to do something that is worth doing
And does he do it without expecting
to be paid in money for everything
done? The lamentable characteristic
Of the thrift of some folks is always
looking for a "tip" no matter how
small the service.
The school expects to take the re
sponsibility of the conduct of chill
dren during that time that it car
legally do so, but the good influence
of the school may be entirely offset
by the privileges granted the chile
out of school.
How about the conduct of youl
child at church, picture-show anc
other places, where the rights of other
people should be considered?
| Is it a kindness to your child, or tC
you, to have some one pay the en-
trance fee of child to picture
show, in order that the noise outside
may be stopped, thus permitting those
who have paid their money to attend
the picture to exercise their right
to view the show undisturbed?
| These questions, and. many more
should be considered by the home arc
the school, and each should help the
other, by cooperation, in solving
them.
