THINK HE FILLS HIS FATHERS
SHOES"

The Quincy Herald says that the
sen OF great man who inherits none
OF his fathers greatness, but thinks he
does, and gyrates before the public in
spectacular assininity ACCORDINGLY.
ought for the sake of the name he
bears, to be hustled under cover bv
his friends and kept there until the
special occasion that emphasizes his
ears and bray has passed. Such
young hero is Theodore Roosevelt, Jr..
who is making speeches for Harding
IN the Northern States and its enough
TO make old Teddy turn in his grave
at the holy show young Teddy is max
ing OF himself. He seems to be a half
wit in some of the oratorical stuff he
emits. A sample of it is the statement
he recently made in a speech in New
York that the Republican party won
the war and the Democrats were en-
titled to no credit for the victory.
Governor Cox in speech the other
day made this reference to the ridicu-
lous son of distinguished sire:
"Some real friends of the great
Roosevelt, if there be any who are
on speaking terms with the reaction
airy crowd now in control of the re-
publican party, should set this boy
right concerning the fundamentals
of the League. 1t is pitable spectacle
TO see this son of a great sire shame
lessly paraded before the public. Out
of respect for the memory of his illus
trious father, some one should take
this Juvenile statesman aside and in
primer fashion make plain what really
ought to be obvious.

A MOTHERS PRAYER

Accompanying check for the Dem
ocratic campaign fund was this letter:
Elizabeth, New Jersey.
George White, Esq,
Chairman Democratic Nat Com.
Care of New York Times,
New York City, N. Y.
Dear Sir:
please accept the enclosed small
contribution to the fund for dissemin-
alton of truth about the League of Ma
tons. 1t is literally widows mite
but it comes from mother who sent
four greatly needed sons to the World
War. Two of those sons, with almost
unlimited possibilities for future USE
fulness, were killed; third was ill
in hospitals in France for five months,
due to gassing in action, and is still
classified as unfit and fourth
risked his precious young life in the
effort is being made by the nations of
the earth to save, if possible, future
mothers and sons from these sacrifices
it is hard to realize there are those
who oppose an effort. | feel sure that
among those who paid for the war
there can be but one opinion, ,and that
is to try the League of Nations even
if it is not perfect. 1t is the best that
has been proposed, and, all objections
being weighed, is manifestly the most
feasible. Please God it will not fail.
Very truly yours,
MARIE A. DADIDSON.

EDUCATION.

Education consists Of stocking the
memory with q large collection Of
valuable facts so neatly arranged
that they can be taken out In a min.
ute's notice.
This Is q very difficult task. II
takes almost twenty years to acquire
. complete and well-catalogued stock
OF knowledge. And even then Il
consists only Of well chosen samples
from all the different lines which
have been produced in the last 5000
years.
Many a man has collected knowl-
edge for sixty years and has still
been compelled to order vast guam
titles OF necessary facts from the
catalogue each day.
When the young man has finished
laying in the staple lines at the high
school he goes to college where an
enormous collection of fancy educa-
tion is dispensed at very low rates.
Here he may remain for four years
buying stocks of Latin, Greek, He
brew, archaeology, pheontology, cos
mology, biology, psycho-sociology,
histology, neo-Platonology and other
costly complications with the utmost
Tecklessness. Q
Some young men have unlimited
Bhelf-room for this sort of stuff, and
when they have been graduated go
on through life accommodating new
and alarming lines of knowledge.
But many students fill all available
shelves in their memory in their
sophomore year and pile the rest
Of the stuff on the floor.
q This is great mistake. Nothing
is sadder than to see an earnest
young man wading wearily through
p8.765 poorly catalogued facts in the
effort to find a little mislaid infor-
nation in the art of holding an
acknowledgements job.
He becomes confused and dscour.
