Puppy Love Not So Much the Fault of Young
sters as of the Parents
By E G.. C. STEWART, St. Luke's, Evanston, III.

Puppy love resulting in runaway high school boys and girls is not
10 much the fault of the youngsters as it is of their parents. The home
is the place for teaching of sex matters, not the public schools. I don't
want an old maid to teach my children sex hygiene. In sex matters chill
dren must be treated as individuals. And they must be taught more bv
example than by precept.
Young people become obsessed with false notions Of love and married
life by means Of certain movies and novels. The dances of society ara
so suggestive that they affect their minds and habits of thought. But who
primarily, are to blame for the movies, the reading Of the novels, and ta
suggestive dances? Not the children, but the parents who set the standards
Of society. The sex movies are not staged at the theaters because of tho
demand made by the pupils of our high schools, but by adults, that is
by the parents.
The falacy Of teaching sex hyisn' in the puMic schools, or in apv
place except to individuals by the parents OF some one interested md
competent. who has access to the confidence Of the child, is that the evls
Of our day re not the result of ignorance so much ~ the lack Of,

CANCELLATION Of
DEBTS STRESSED
y. 8. AND ALLIES FAR APART ON
INDEMNITY SOLUTION.
HARVEY VIEW Is AWAITED
Allies Ins,ot on Bringing Up Question
Of Cancclling War Debts-U. S..
Says That Other Method
Must Be Found.

WashingtOn.- Whether the United
States will find it possible to bring
about a settlement Of the German
roparations question, which has pro-
duccd the present international crisis
in Europe. viii not be determined I'M
til President Harding and Secretary
Of State Hughes have conferred with
George Harvey, ambassador to Great
Britain. who sails for America Dec.
%, it is reported.
As the matter now stands America
and the allies are far apart on the
question and working at cross pur-
poses, The situation may be sum
married. thus:
l-England and France are ma
%neuvcring for a TeparatlOn settle
mont contingent upon the intcr-can-
collation. Of the $ll, OO0, 100000 allied
debt to the United States.
The arrival Of Ambassador Harvey
is awaited to throw light on the pos
sibiIity of the allies accepting the
American Viewpoint or Of the eyo,u-
ton Of some alternative plan which
would not involve surrender Of the
American claims on the allies.
The official view here is that the
United States can help materially in
the rehabilitation Of Europe if the
European governments take the nee
ossary stcDs to improve their credit.
Such steps would be the balancing Of
budgets, reduction of military eX-
penditures and reduction Of German
reparations to an amount that Ger
many will proceed to pay.
If such conditions were complied
with American bankers would join
with European bankers in floating d
huge loan to Germany with which to
discharge German obligations to the
allies.
]. p. Morgan and associated Amer
lean finanCiers have been considering
such a loan for several years. 1t
would be an enormously profitable
venture but so far the European, no
less than the American, bankers have
pronounced the security unsatisfac-
tory. Tho security will not be salts

stored.

The Spirit of Pure Americanism-the Spirit
of Abraham Lincoln
By KARL C. SCHUYLER, Denver, Colo.

1t would be presumptuous for me to say where Lincoln would stand
IN the present situation. l have no hesitation, though, in saying that he
would be for the power, authority and dignity of the United States, the
welfare of all the people and the maintenance of law and order, above all
other considerations. Both capital and labor quote him.
Were he alive he would be a partisan of neither. He would be fight
ing for industrial justice; but it would be justice for the nation, as well as
fruits of his toll. He believed that a maa should be made secure in pos
sessions honestly acquired. He believed that the door to honest success
should always be kept open.
Today the voices of anarchy, Of disharmony between classes, of dis
ruption, camor for recognition in the councils Of the republic. Shall
We give ear to those who, for some petty imperfsctons, would lay
axe to the roots Of our fundamental institutions? No-not while we
may still spray the tree of the republic with the sprit of pure American
ism-with the spirit of Abraham Lincoln.

CONFIRMED
AS SUPREME JUDGE
ONLY 8 VOTES CAST AGAINST
HIM IN SENATE.
NEW JUSTICE A De OCRAT
Succeeds Former Justice Day, But
win Not Take Seat Until Jan. 2,
AS the High Tribunal Is
Now in Recess.

Notwithstanding nomination Of
Pierce Butler of st. Paul to be asso,
ciate justice of the Supreme Court OF
the United States was confirmed by
the Senate in executive session. The
vote a 81 to s.
Opposition to Mr.. Butler was even
ly divided, four Republicans, Senators
La Toilette Of Wisconsin, Norris of
Nebraska, BroOkhart Of Iowa and Nor,
beck of South Dakota being joined by
four Democrats, Senators George OF
Georgia, Trammell Of Florida, Shep.
pard of Texas and Heflin of Alabama,
in voting against confirmation.
The Senate removed the ban of Sc
crecy from the roll calls and it was
announced that a motion to recommit
the nomination to the judiciary COM
mittee was defeated, 63 to 7.
Justice Butler, a Democrat, who
was named for the vacancy caused
by the resignation Of former Justice
Day, will not take his seat until
Jan, 2, the supreme court now being
in recess. A prior nomination during
the recent special session was block,
ed by the opposition.
The cruz Of the charges preferred
against Mr.. Butler was that he has
been too intimately associated with
corpOratiOns-notably the railroads
and was prejudiced on the side Of big
business; also that as a member Of
the board Of regents Of the Universe
ty of Minnesota, he had voted to GUST
a professor who had manifested ia
foritism for the demands of the farm
ers in the matter Of lower freight
rates. These charges are known TO
have blown up under the pressure OF
official investigation. The Senate jul
dietary committee is said to have
threshed them out thoroughly before
voting to recommend Mr.. Butler for
confirmation and it is understood that
today in the Senate the opposition
failed to make good its allegations.
Mr.. Butler, who is an intense Amer
lean, did not approve Of the attitude
of the Minnesota University professor
in question and voted against him as
a member of the faculty. This pro
fessor, 1t Is stated. was proGermar
during the World War and as such
Mr.. Butler, It was said. had no pa
thence for or sympathy with him OF
that account.

with him what he termed the happy
remembrance that the people of
America still love France and also
two boxes of grape fruit, which he
declared would contribute to his
longevity.
Although he seemed to be in a

soon saw that what was essential was not SO much a central governing
hand as international corporation. So they wisely started by following
the lines of least resistance, by establishing various technical bodies and,
most important, the Permanent Court of International Justice, which
had already been agreed to in principle by all the powers, including the
United States, at The Hague.
The three years through which the league has lived have now fixed
Its character. 1t attempts only what is brought to it and it works by
finding an atmosphere of mutual consent. Today it is more than proved
That 1t Is not, IN any way or for any power, a superstate. 1t is not a
dictator, but 1t is a universal conscience. The fact that what is sought in
the league is the equality Of all has had a result of great importance.
When one has been at two assemblies, as have, he can see the spirit
clearly, 1t is a gathering without intrigue. The currents and undercur-
rents one finds at most international conferences do not exist at Geneva.
This is because it has become recognized as the basic principle Of the
league that it will not do to drag a member unwilhngly into a course of
action that he does not agree to gladly. As each state is really sovereign,
intrigue cannot produce results and is not attempted.
AS a South American am most anxious for the United States to
JOIN the league. But it a mistake to think that any power wants the
United States to join for the sake Of its riches OF military strength. The
league cannot use the resources Of any nation unfairly or for the others,
it is for her moral strength that we wish the United States to become a
partner. If all the South American republics were in, with the United
States at the head, our influence in the league would be overwhelming.

Capital Punishment Is Lawful and Is
Necessary, Reasonable and Just


Capital punishment is lawful. In the present state of society I be.
ieve it to be necessary, reasonable and just.
Senhmentaists, well meaning and sincere, but badly misguided, are
partly responsible for the rising murder rate in the United States be-
cause they are giving most of their attention to the consideration Of
Me murderer rather than to his victim.
Another reason why murders are becoming more numerous is that
execution is not inflicted ip all cases of deliberate murder.
Let me illustrate. Illinois has a statute providing capital punish
ment for murder. The same statute also provides that the sentence NAV
be from fourteen years to life imprisonment. In 1921 there were 20S
murders in Cook county. During the same period 25 defendants were
arraigned on murder charges. There were ffy-fve convictions. Forty-six
we're sentenced to the penitentiary and to the reformatory and only six
were sentenced to hang. In other words, less than 8 per cent of the mur-
derers convicted in Cook county last year suffered capital punishment.
