Mexican Duelling
Proves Harmless
Benign Government Allows the Duel
ling to Go Through Talking Stage
and Then Stops It.
by Associated Press)

Mexico Duelling as practiced
in Mexico is the most harmless of
outdoor sports. Although scarcely a
week passes but some person whose
pride has been hurt challenges the
offender to pistols at twenty PAGES in
the Bosque of Cha ultepec," few reach
beyond the stage of talk and none
even ventures close to reality. A dep
uty from one Mexican state rises in
the chamber and bitterly assails a
member from another state for his at
titude on certain public measures. The
other replies with equal vituperation.
Before the day is done the chances are
challenge will be carried to one or
the other by two seconds who later
describe their efforts in a verbose re-
port to all the newspapers. Once in
while the challenge will be accepted
and then there is scramble on ali
sides to see to it that the "goyernm ent
intervenes" at the proper moment
Whether there is official Intervention"
is conjecture but the announcement is
always the same-that "high authori-
ties frowned upon the contemplated
struggle to death and forbade it,"
Pride is always satisfied by such an
nouncement and the incident is for
gotten.

The Dignity of Childhood

Besides its deeply religious significance,
Christmas is pre-eminently holiday dedicated
to childhood. 1t commentaries the birth of the
Babe in the manager in Bethlehem's cavern, and
by historical development emphasizes the high
worth of childhood.
Only among the Jews was the right of the
child from its birth to maturity protected ade-
quately. Only among them were safeguards
thrown around the budding bit of humanity, as
surfing it physical, intellectual and moral devel-
opment.
When the Christ child came into the world,
infanticide practiced almost universally
among the nations of the world. Parents no
moral wrong in exposing their newly born chill
1ren to the elements in order that they might
perish or in selling them into slavery.
Life was held precious and sacred by the
Jews and the Christ in His teachings constantly
taught the superlative value of childhood, often
using it to drive home high spiritual truths.
Mankind is today approaching more fully
than ever before the value of the child. 1t pro-
tects its right by statutes. 1t forces the negli-

Arthur Ruhl arrived in the Finnish
capital, he tells in his New Masters
of the Baltic" just as the elections
were to take place. 1t was the first
campaign the Films had held after
creeping out from under the sway of
Russia, and was, Of course, a momen-
tous occasion. Everybody over "a
years of age has the vote in Finland,
and at that election everybody made
use of it.
The balloting lasted several days.
When the polls were finally closed a
public spirited citizen of Helsingfors
gave the ballot watchers a banquet.
Then they began to count the votes.
The ceremony took place in the H.
brary hall of the senate building and
lasted a week Professional dignitar-
les presided. assisted by young men
in long tailed black coats. AS the
blanket ballots were spread on the
great tables the young men proceeded

hands with such young ladies as were

bows. There was no smoking and the
count was not made in either a bar.

Ripping Rhymes
LONGING FOR PEACE,
BY Walt Mason

Id gladly see the scrapping of every
gun and pike, I'd see no war flags
Tapping, no legions on the hike; glad
lays | would be grooming if swords
made hooks for pruning, or instrI-
ments for tuning pianos and the like.
| see the big ships lying in San Diego
Bay; their flags and pennants FLYING
in bright and brave array: they seem
in handsome fettle, but oh, what woes
we'd settle, if all their tons of metal
were used for moving hay, Yon
cruiser cost million. that battleshiD
cost four; and I, mild civilian. am
taxed until I'm sore; my burden
greater wakes; I'm tired of paving
taxes to buy more battle-axes and i'm
plemerts of gore. The man who
works for wages soon finds his name
is Mud; the tax collector RACES foY
money, n a flood; and nearly every
shilling is spent for bygone killing or
plans for future spilling of useful hui
man blood. The warships take our
cousins, our uncles and our sons, take
them away by dozens to shoot off
silly guns; and all these boys we're
needing, for reaping and for seeding,
and not for futile bleeding where some
punk oceans runs. Scrap all the ships
and cruisers, that loaf along tho
wave; no nations will be losers when
they have found their grave: it is an
idle notion to think that ships in mo
ton upon the brindled ocean will
make the world behave.

gent parent to send his child to school to be
educated 1t safeguards the childs health by
providing medical examiners and preventing the
spread of epidenlics. The state proscribes child
labor SO that the child may have fair chance for
physical development The child has its rights
protected by law assuring it just and fair dis
tribution of inheritances and property rights.
More important STILL noble and good women
are devoting their lives to an intensive study Of
the child in order that they may learn principles
to guide parents and teachers in developing
Alright its mind. Thousands of men and women
in our school system have only one purpose in
life-to train the boys and girls into good citi-
zens, possessing moral and intellectual qualities
that will enable them to make success of life
And other thousands in the churches Sunday
schools and synagogues are implanting religious
fundamentals and truths.
BY far too many of us are not cognizant of
the important part we play in the development
of the child. Few of US realize that boys and
girls take us as the models of their conduct and
as living examples. If all of us realized that
scores of eyes of little children watch every act
we perform and listen attentively to everything
we say, how much more careful and circumspect
would we not be. Many an idle world would not
be uttered and many questionable deed would
remain unperformed.
Christmas has a spiritual message of the
greatest moment, but not the least part of it is
the warning that no adult give child occasion
to be started on the wrong road through life.
We may promote childhood by helping the
hungry cold and crippled. This opportunity none
of us will overlook But we also may shatter
childhood's noblest ideals by words and deeds.
