Children Are Happy
IF They re Book Reader

The current discussion and use of
psychological tests for children brings
attention not only to the mental equip
ment which heredity has given to the
children, but also to that provided by
their environment, especially home
influences.
Teachers admit that the boys and
girls who are quickest to learn in
school, and most interested in the
fields of information opened to them
through the classroom, are apt to be
those children who are readers. Geog-
raphy and history are more interesting
and easier to study, for the child who
has seen pictures and heard stories
OF children and life n other lands.
The foreign picture BOOKS, folk lore
and fairy tales are not only delightful
i~ntroductions to foreign countries and
customs, but full Of stimulation 10 the
~imagination. Mother Goose rhymes
sung or read aloud help develop a
| sense of rhythm which is invaluable IN
the child's development of apprecia-
ton of poetry and music.
The books that boys and girls read
during vacations and outside school
| will either help or hinder their school
| work and their training for life. The
| books that children w and read at
| home will either strengthen or coun-
| teract the influence of the public IL
hraries, their lending of books, their
! pictures and their story hours,
Children's book week, each year IN
| November, is an opportunity for dis
c~ussion in clubs, schools. parent-teach-
ers' associations, libraries, magazines
and newspapers, of the books that
children like to read, the books that
will enrich boys and girls lives
! Thousands of public libraries and book.

ada are holding special displays oil
books for young people, and offering
] advice and help to parents and others

Mr.. WHEELER's GREAT VICTORY
Butte Minerl

3. 4. Wheeler's overwhelming ma
iority, which is far greater than most
of his enthusiastic friends predicted
for him, was brought about by several
contributing causes, the main one, of
course, being the intelligent and Wig
orous campaign he made when COM
pared with that of his opponent, Con-
gresham Carl Riddick.
There was a feeling that in the gu
bernatorial campaign two years ago,
Mr.. Wheeler was misjudged and did
o receive quite a fair deal, and this
created no little sympathy for him
and a determination on the part of
a large number Of voters to try to
make up in some measure for the mis-
take they made at the last election.
Congressman Riddick was forced
upon the republican party as a minor
ity candidate, 4 position which it al
ways is difficult for a nominee 10
overcome.
The primary returns, as pointed out
by the Miner upon several occasions
showed that two republicans voted
that they did not want Mr.. Riddick to
one that said he was for that gentle
man.
He was a weak candidate of the
kind that so often is the product oil
the direct primary law.
The Lewistown gentleman must be
given credit for one thing, and that
was in declaring himself to be q stancl
supporter of President Harding, and
this in spite Of the fact that his rec,
ord in the house did not altogether
| bear out this assertion.
Thus, the election returns can be
taken as indicating in part that Mr.
Harding is not very popular in Mon.
tana, certainly not with a very large
element of labor, and quite an influ
entail contingent among the farmers
Mr.. Wheeler will enter the United
States senate sometime after March
next, with the best wishes Of the PEG.

representative of the people in tn

NOW it is not to be urged that jour-
nalism especially fits a man for COM
mercial life. nevertheless there is a
mysterious influence in it that makes
a man out of a boy quicker and with
more completeness than does any other
business" says Chester S. Lord in the
Saturday Evening Post, in discussing
newspaper work. He continues:
"a few years of reporting in a big
city makes him mentally alert, If any

GREAT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY

1t is the democratic donkey's time to
bray, not only in Montana but through
out the United States and its posses
sions. Democracy, signally Inundated
two years ago, is coming back to its
own in the hearts of the people. Hold
ing it's democratic seat in the senate
and replacing a republican in the lower
house by a democrat, Montana partlci-
pates in the resurrection. Butte has
Just reason to boast of it's share in
the victory, for it sends to Washington
its first United States senator in 70
years and the third in the states his
tory.
Senator w. A. Clark. ripe and lively
octogenarian, and Senator Lee Mantle,
our esteemed septuagenarian bride
groom, were the only Montanans who
ever before battled their way to the
front from Montana's metropolis.
Mr.. Wheeler enters the national
arena with more than youth in his ia
Ivor. There were times when the Stand
ard opposed him in politics and more
recent times when the Standard forgot
old animosities and did not oppose him.
At least the Standard can frankly say
it never supported Mr.. Wheeler's OPP
ponents either for the g~overnorship or
the new office to which, by remarkable
perseverance and the loyalty Of his
friends, he has won his way. Two years
ago by reason of a situation which 1t
would be folly to review at this time,
Mr.. Wheeler barely carried his own
county. Now he comes with q united
democracy and a following from all
classes, parties and creeds, meeting his
opponent from the COW counties with a
Silver Bow majority of $500. That is
something to be proud Of, and the
Standard is not slow to assert some
thing about which it can sincerely join
in congratulations.
Frequently this page has pointed the
ruthless and. at times, blind turbulence
of the republican national administra-
ton. Mr.. Wheeler, combining various
elements in his own party, found in
this situation his opportunity, and his
election is not only Il compliment to
himself, but a singing rebuke to the
policies of the republican congress to
which he, with many other democrats
throughout the country will come as a
personal demonstration of the peoples
will and desire, as well as a disgust
gress has already attempted to carry
out.
Nor is Mr.. Wheeler's victory the only
source Of democratic felicitation. Two
years ago there We're only eight demo
Gratis out of a membership Of 100 in
Montana's representatives. Tonight the
returns leave the control of the house
i'll doubt and it looks as if a phalanx
of more than 30 Bourbons will answer
the roll next January.

Men Can No Longer
Rely Upon Prayers
of Wives to Save En-

There was a time when the average
man could sit down c~omplacentiy IN
the midst of his sins assured that the
prayers Of a pious wife or molher
might be depended upon to bail MN
out of purgatory if he went too 1ar,
says Mary Briarly in Scribners. NOW
he begins to fear that the lady's ut

clear her. If we are to believe Inc

nine turpitude can be stemmed, man
may have to look not alone tor MN

of his offspring, but faces a none TOO
remote possibility that his wife VIII

The average man would prefer as

Any failure on his part would be more
readily reparable since time IS fleet,

But woman seems~to be treadlng the
primrose path CALAMITY indifferent to
her peril. His wife clearly prefers
golf to church, frequently looks on the
wine cup when it is red, and smokes as
many cigarettes daily as he can com
fortably consume. His mother, if.not
already sainted, is pretty surely no
longer sanity. She is liable to be II
