done well or no, according to the
fitness of each succeeding genera

The boy is man SO soon that real

no burden on the growing child. If

The successful father is he who
gets closest to his boys. He cannot
get close by treating them as incom-
petents incapable of understanding
what he understands. Children may
not grasp it all at one time, but for

DEATHS FROM SHAME

$3.50 -
The death OF former Chancellor Herr
Won Bethmann Hollweg has caused no
surprise. for there was an instructive
feeling. even among enemies, that he
would not very long survive his coun-
try's defeat.
He has followed to the grave a poli-
tician like Friedrich Naumann. and
other patriotic Germans in the fields Of
commerce, literature and science.
Their fate may be compared with
that Of two great captains Of the ar
mada whom fate drove back upon the
shores of Spain.
Admiral Recalde, as Fronde tells US,
brought his ship safely home to Cor
unna. and there died himself two days
after his arrival, worn out by shame
and misery. Admiral Oquendo made
his way to San Sebastian, where his
wife and children were living.
He refused to see them. shut himself
into solitary ROOM and there breathed
out his heroic life. These men refused
to outlive the gallant navy which,
under happier circumstances, they had
led in glorious battle. It ia the best.
not the worst. who cannot long survive
the shock of national ruin.
Philip H., the guilty sovereign. lived
on. The Duke of Medina Sidonia lived
ON. though the excavations Of the peo-
pie followed him through CASTLE on
his homeward journey.

Experts Agree That
Trend Is Upward

THIRST w. P. G. Harding, than
II whom there is no more safe and
conservative man in public service,
said the worst is over and there will
be gradual improvement from now on.
The comptroller has expressed the
same view. This is the note that
comes from the federal reserve bank
of the Sixth district.
Undoubtedly many lines Of produc-
ton and merchandising are in better
form and working upward. Theodore
Price, veteran Wall street observer,
says in his weekly letter to The Age
Herald that the distributing trade is
in promising condition" In sum-
mary of resuming activities, he men
lions these:
Two more Rhode Island cotton
mills have announced the start of
a night shift in their spinning de-
partments, and many other plants
are reopening. More iron and steel
mills are resuming. Detroit, ex-
elusive of the Ford factory, re-em-
ployed more workers the first
week in February than during any
week since depression started. The
commodity markets, notably grains
and sugar, have been stronger;
cotton has recovered slightly from
it's last weeks low point, and the
copper market has been strength
ened by the issuance Of sac, 100000
in notes which will be used to
finance the holding of 100000. 600
pounds Of the metal until foreign
market can be found for it.''
One cannot escape the testimony Of
conscientious experts who are max
ing a regularly painstaking study Of
conditions and look the facts in the
face. The big men who have been
lately telling the country Of the re-
liable signs of reawakening may
be depended on. They do not under
take to say just when there will be
full recovery, but it is most satisfy
ing to have them agree that the worst
| is over and the upgrade is at hand.

from the Indians for goods valued
at 60 guilders which would be

TO SAVE NEW YORK

prosperity of New York began
when the stage to Philadelphia was
started in 1856. Those who could
not make their escape continuedeto
live in the subways and the
suburbs, as is the custom still. And
it is still called living in Now
York.
The fact that the zionists believe.
that New York is worth saving leads
the Public Ledger to observe that IT.
is because they have been ia. the
theatre in New York; something that
they admit is true. But, says thesPub-.
lie Ledger 'yoliva will find it hard to
discover a real New Yorker Mine
times out of ten, just when he thinks
he has plucked a New Yorker From
the everlasting bonfire, he will find he
has rescued an out-of-town buyersfrom
Syracuse or Elmira or a steel maKnate
from Pittsburg; or a chemist fro5n st.
Louis; or a visiting English lecturer;
or shepherd from the Argentine: or
another reformer. That is one Of the
provoking things about New York; that
you never can find New Workers rere.
They know their city SO well THAT
they prefer to keep away from IT."
But is the conclusion of the Public
Ledger correct? 1t is. as that raper
intimates, because of the wickeaness
OF the city that the New. YorkerIlees,
or is it because it is such a lives-su UGH

AND ELSEWHERE
Lively at lei Dorado

There are lively times at Ell Dorado,
the new Arkansas oil town, according
to Charles Sumner of this city, who is
in the thick of it. He writes:
Little stores rent for 5000 per
month up. and small offices, 12x2o, rent
as high as $500 per month. Hundreds
of little stands and tents are full OF
cots which rent for 81 per night. The
derricks are now within four blocks
of the courthouse and getting closer
all the time.
Il. A. May and friend of his from
New York bought over 100000 worth
of property last week Hundreds of
locations are being made. Fifty seven
derricks are up and others being
erected daily.
1T is a beautiful little city of 5000
inhabitants. with the courthouse in the
center of the city on high elevation.
The largest companies in the world
are here"
