HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State Jonrnaf
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a mar
ried woman of thirty-two and have
two children, a girl and a boy. My
husband IS very partial to the little girl
and it nearly breaks my heart. When
she and her little brother quarrel my
husband always takes her part and
Furnishes the boy even if it is her fault.
My little boy feels this and often says,
Papa doesn't love me-"
have told my husband about this
and it only makes him angry and he
tells me am crazy. Nothing that
say can do any good.
What would you advise me to dc? -?
MARTHA G.
Since you have talked to your hus-
band about his partiality and he re-
fuses to see his fault, it is useless to
to act in his own way, he may see Tor
himself that he is not fair.
1t is unfortunate for the children
when a parent is partial, and just as
bad for the favored child as the one
neglected. The favored child becomes
spoiled and the other suffers because
of lack of love.
Do not talk about the matter to
your little boy, but try to let your
love for him make up for the lack
from his father. I do not mean that
can love both children equally and
still mean so much to the boy that
he will be happy
1 feel sorry for your husband, too.
because he probably does not realize
he is unfair, but when the children
grow up he will find himself without
the love of his son.

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING?

The fact that the government Is
permitting the railroad situation to
drift indicates a belief that it soon will
adjust itself. Apparently this also is
the view of the business world as evil
denced by the steady advance in the
price OF railroad stocks. notably those
of the Santa Fe, in the market.
Such differences as now exist be-
tween the strikers and the railroads
should not be difficult to adjust.
When the railway shopmen voted to
strike, they gave reasons all of which
they have since abandoned. They
were to resist the cut in their wages
ordered by the railroad labor board.
But now they say they will accept it.
in view of the promise or a rehearing
of their case should altered conditions
warrant it. They also struck against
the contracting out of repair work by
the railways. But this practice has
been almost completely given up.
partly by voluntary action of the COM
panies, partly by direction of the
railroad labor board.
The net result, therefore. is that the
shopmen are remaining out on an is
sue Wnlch Qld not exist when they
originally struck. This is the issue OF
their seniority rights. Apparently.
they would go back to work If these
rights were unequivocally restored to
them.
.'This difficulty" says the New
York Times, "is plainly of their own
creating. If they had stuck to their
Jobs, it never would have arisen. And
If what they now assert is true, name
ly, that the roads have not been able
to get men to take their places, the
question cannot be practically very
acute, II there are no new employees
to speak of ahead of them, they could
90 back with no substantial loss of
privileges"
This statement of the case shows,
to be sure, how foolish and needless
the strike was at the beginning. but
# also leaves the impression of a
pretty small difference between the
railways and the shopmen. The latter
still speak OF bringing the COM
panies to their knees" and some rail-
way executives talk of fighting to a
finish" but neither side could really
maintain that the facts. and the sole

not the goals I've won.
Gold weaves no splendid memories, and
tho men rise to fame
The happiness Of glory loses lustre down
But the joys we've shared together shall
be always ours to claim
Tho time has often stolen them away and
dimmed our eyes with tears
And what If every hope Of fame at last Is
put to rout,
The laughter of the children shall be ours
to talk about.
The years we've romped together and the
games We've often played,
The nights of joyous comradeship, the
little house we've kept;
The burdens we have shouldered and the
friends that we have made
And, blended with the gladness, all the
. tears that We have wept.
'Tis these shall be remembered when our
tale of life is told
And not the brave and splendid deeds which
brought us fame or gold.
Success is sought for far and wide and
But when the frost is on our brows and

Bad Mental Habits-2.
Bx DORorHV DIX
/. y4lKhesa Paid wszaaA Wa


1t is human and inevitable that We
should mediate with pleasure upon
our own achievements, and the mar
velouS perfection OF our WiYes' ana
husbands, and children. and COOKS,
and automobiles, but surely we might
also entertain a passing thought that
these purely personal subjects are or
interest only to ourselves.
The outside world. does not care a
whoop about our PERSONAL affairs I'M
less they are of a scandalous nature.
Nobody wants to hear the stories OF
our lives. Nobody cares whether our
daughters are bellies or wall flowers at
parties. or whether our sons make
their classes in college or not. Still
less does anyone want to hear Ct the
smart things our infant prodigies say
and do.
when we realize that we are falling
into the bad habit of talking about
our children and ourselves? What
boredom we should save our acquaint-
ances! What lies and deceit we
should preserve our friends from, who
stifle their yawns behind their hands
and try to look interested as we maun-
der on and on with the dreary annals
of our households!
Another bad mental habit that we
fall into is that of interfering in other
peoples affairs. This is the besetting
vice of age, and it behooves us to
watch out for the first symptom OF
this deadly habit as we grow older.
Every family has in it the chronic
interferer. You cannot rise up or sit
down, or eat or fast. or sleep or wake.
or walk or ride, or read a book or
put on a garment, or do any single
thing on earth that the interferer does
not want to know why you didn't do
it the other way, and involve you in
long explanations and arguments.
There is no other one thing that
would do so much to promote domes-
tic harmony, make happy homes, and
prevent divorce as for US to break
ourselves of the habit of butting into
the purely personal affairs of those
with whom we live. For the eternal
nagging that makes most homes a
hell on earth is nothing but a silly
habit founded on a tyrannical spirit.
Most wives don't really care
whether their husbands smoke or not,
or whether they wear a plaid necktie
or a striped one. Nor do husbands
care whether their wives go to pic
ture shows, or wear blue or pink
dresses. Nor do parents really con-
whether their children do any one OF
hundred things they are forbidden to
do 1t is just that husbands and
wives. and parents have formed the
bad mental habit of interfering in
matters that do not concern them.
and they ignore the fact that the one
thing that is most precious in all the
world to each of US is our individual
liberty. Give US that, and we will for
give any other offense towards us.
Let's all take careful survey of
our mental habits, and cure ourselves
of the bad ones.

purposes. A firm sends out letters de-
scribings the article it handles. The
letter says that If the addressee will
write to the firm he will receive a
premium and 16 more letters which
he is to send to his friends in return
for the premium.
Where a chain letter is being used
to further some interest, the person or

And il the facts warrant, action may
be taken against the party, either in
the way of criminal prosecution with
its resultant fine and imprisonment if
he is convicted, or by the issuance OF
a fraud order which would prevent
the delivery to the offending party of
any of the remittances mailed to him.
1t is only the good luck letter, prey
ing on superstition, that remains
anonymous and flourishes. To at
tack it would be like attacking a ghost
1t bobs up anywhere and is more
elusive than Conan Doyle's ectoplasIn.
Only a prosaic disbelief in lucky chains
or a devil-may-care defiance can
break down the system.

OBSERVATION AND EXPERIENCE

OESSt1IN A11ON
The best educated people are not
always those who come out of a col
lege-
For education necessarily implies an
important amount of control and un-
derstanding. And these are things
which must come thru exercise of our
faculties-thru observation and ex-
perience.
People with perfectly good eyesight
are quite often blind. They do not
sect is not that they cannot.
The sculptor sees beauty of form
and substance in every solid piece of
matter. Let him pass a great rock
and he wields in his imagination some
heroic figure from its body. Let the
painter pass a quiet meadow and he
sees the groundwork for a master
piece. Whereas the writer of fiction
hardly misses an attitude or word that
is able to reveal some touch of char
acter.
And this is important-what you
see is able to become a part of you!
For that is how we are made great.
The more you see. the better be-
comes your vision. You learn to pick
the flaws from the woven mesh of
life and you see pure gold where 9TH
ers are able to see only the dross.
The good observer is always the
learner. And thru learning, and the
aPPAANalNOA ~ eOON CAAS "a eAAA "
learn, we get experience.
And from this experience we get
our viewpoints.
How important is observation, how
great is experienced How far in the
front ranks do all travel who are
equipped with these requirements.
Get into the habit of seeing when
you look at anything. Open the doors
of your imagination when you see any
particular spot of beauty. Study the
people about you. Think much, but
say little.
Use your experiences to smooth your
way. Get something of permanent
value from them, be they experiences
that have tried your soul or merely
those which have brought happiness.
But GROW from both observation
and experience.

= without apparent reason the voters
have decided to dispense with the
services of one if not two members Of
the supreme court. Why should the
people want to change judges? If a
Judge renders his opinions in accord
with justice and the constitution what
more can be asked? If he do not do
this he is subject to impeachment pro-
ceedings. The results Of the Kansas
primary again emphasize the fact
that all judges should be appointed
for life or good behavior. Their posi-
tions should not be made subject to
popular emotion. The new men who
are to sit on the bench may be and
doubtless are as fair and just and
learned in the law as those whom they
VIII supersede but are they likely to
be more so? What have Judge West
and Judge Porter done that the peo-
pie want to turn them out?

The interstate commerce commits
sion has issued another order govern
ing the distribution of coal. But of
what use will the commissions orders
be when we reach the point where
there Is no coal to distribute? This
situation appears to be making rapid
approach. In Kansas. for instance, it
was reported that 500 fewer miners
were working last week than were
employed the previous week. One of
the unexplained features OF the strike
is that miners who declared they
could not live on the wages they were
receiving have been during the past
four months subeisting on no wages
at all.

The chain scheme has been applied
to charitable purposes. Organizations
of high standing write to the postof-
flee to know whether they may solicit
funds by sending out chain letters.
Each person would be asked to con-
tribute. perhaps, 10 cents and copy
the letter five times. In other cases
the charitable organization exists only
in the mind of the writer. The char
table chain letter asking for a few
cents seems an easy way to get rich
quick.
In one instance a political party
wrote TO know whether it could raise
campaign funds by a chain letter
carrying a request for rs cents and
the mailing of four copies of the let
ter.
Some one in the postal service fig
ured out how this apparently trifling
sum of rs cents would multiply if
the chain were carried unbroken to
the twenty-fifth series. The number of
persons reached, he said, would be
1901, ,199, SIS, 5,795,164. Put into words
this runs into Quardrillions, or 500, 900
times the population of the world.
The amount collected would be $3T5,-
There is still another kind of chain
letter which is used for advertising
