ARE YOUR CHILDREN SUFFICIENTLY
DISCIPLINEDf


To be a success in any business requires
discipline of self.
Are you as a parent disciplining your
child and teaching tho child to discipline
Itself?
AS a teacher do you discipline your
pupils, or do you temporize with them and
let things 20 rather than to stir up a row
which is apt to include a misunderstanding
with the parents Of the child needing
discipline?
There is a well.founded opinion being
expressed in circles which affect employ
ment-that the college-bred man OF today
Ia not sufficiently disciplined to be sue
cess in the best sense Of the word.
1t is not that education Is objected tot
is really needed-but that the colleges in
general exert so little personal discipline
and encourage such a specialized course
that the effect Is narrowing rather than
broadening.
Do the children have enough to do in
school?
Is tho course of study in high school
cultural enough to broaden the thoughts
and minds Of men and women7
Is the discipline close enough, even in
the intermediate schools, to help the stu.
dents morally7
OF course It is easier to put them on

1t takes several years educa-

Why Not Make America
Safe For DenlOcrncY?

for four years and then try the
experiment Of electing another
President-who may be better or
may be worse during the four
years when he is the autocrat
Of all America.
The colossal joke is that with
such a system and with an auto-
crat to lead, we went across the
seas "to make the world safe for
democracy"
That is the ridiculous joke at
which a thousand years will
laugh.
Now, then, we Americans do not
have to submit to this autocracy-
or the oligarchy, if you prefer
that term-which rules US four
years at a time.
We do not have to revolt in
arms.
We do not have to change the
form of our institutions.
All we need to do is to inject
new vitality into these institu-
tons.
The initiative, the referendum.
the recall-these are democracy.
And they we'll beft the admin
istration of a free government of
a free people, by free people,
for a free people.
With the initiative the people
can pass laws which their repre-
sentatives refuse to pass.
With the referendum the people
can veto and then annul laws
their representatives pass against
the popular will.
With the recall the people can
eject from office any and all pub
lie servants who betray their trust
or flout the popular will.
With these three the people con-
troll their officeholders, make their
own laws and direct their own
domestic and foreign policies by
a majority vote instead Of by a
minority manipulation.
That is democracy.
That is free government.
That is the Rule of the People.
Anything else is fraud and
a sham.
You people are no more self
governing than were the subjects
of the Kaiser.
You think you are. But you
are not.
The Invisible Empire governs
you.
The Money Lords are your
Kaisers.
You CAN be free.
| You CAN govern yourselves.
You CAN make our country a
democracy.
! It's up to you.
I You have the power to adopt
the democratic institutions of the
initiative, the referendum and the
recall, which will make you free.
That power lies in your votes.
Then why not use that power
like men and women who desire
to be free and self-governing and
who are resolved to make that
desire a realityi
Ask yourselves that question.
| And then answer it as the sons
and daughters Of free fathers and
free mothers should speak-boldly
and sensibly, as befits Americans.
