WHAT DO THEY FEAR?

President Harding's demand that
the striking railroad shoprnen return
to work on the understanding with
the railroad managers that the ques-
ton of restoration of seniority rights
shall be left to the decision of the
railroad labor board seems reasonable,
but apparently it is opposed by both
parties to the controversy.
Regardless OF this attitude on the
part of those directly concerned it is
the Course that best serves the public
interest. 1t Is to the public interest
that the authority of the railroad la
Dor board in, its special field shall be
thoroly established by law, by execu-
tive action and by public opinion.
The president has been working
steadily to this end.
The Chicago News holds the opin-
ion that the course that will so
strengthen governmental authority as
to make it superior to the whims, sus-
picions and petulances of railroad
managers and railroad workers, and
therefore will cause it to stand as a
real protection for the people against
transportation tieups. is the best
course in dealing with the shopmen's
strike.
The railroad managers 1t points out
have made certain promises to the
shopmen who did not strike and to
the new men who have taken places
deserted by strikers. But those prom :
Uses cannot outweigh the needs of the
country. The demand of the presi-
- 49,
carriers. the News contends, absolves
the managers from blame II their
promises are not kept. However. If
the managers have as good a case as
they insist that they have for their
refusal to restore seniority rights to
strikers they should have no special
hesitation in intrusting the matter to
the decision of the railroad labor
board.
Seniority rights are. Of course, inn
portant to railroad workers. They de-
slack times. They decide who shall
have special opportunities for pro-
motion in the service. When Presi-
dent Jewell leader of the striking
unions. notified the railroad labor
board that his followers were no long
err in the employ OF the railroads he
did what he could to fix great gulf
between them and their records OF
railroad service. Now he wants that
gulf filled up. The railroad labor
board should be a competent judge of
the matter. To it also very properly
should be allotted the task of decid-
ing what degree OF physical opposi-
ton by individual strikers to railroad
operation makes them unworthy to re-
ceive further employment or trust or
benefits from the railroads.

Dorothy Dix Talks
Ovcr-Tcnder Parent-1.
~ DOROTHY DIX
wOSia's Itshsss Paid Woman wriere.

1t Is a natural thing that parents
should wish to protect their children
against the hardships of life, but they
make a mistake when they try to &C
cOmplish this by over-tenderness.
For parental love can only hedge
in our childhood. When we come to
manhood and T-omanhood we must
not only stand alone, but we face a
world that nothing can soften for us,
and in which there is no place for
weaklings, and mama's pets. Then We
survive or perish; we go down into
the gutter or climb to the top of the
ladder, according to the strength that
has been bred in us, and our ability
to fight and to endure.
l. This is what makes 1t so cruel for
fathers and mothers to make their
children soft thru their misguided af-
lection. 1t sends the youngsters forth
unframed, Gnprepared to cope with
even the ordinary difficulties of every
day existence. 1t turns their mole
hills of trials into insurmountable
mountains of tribulation. 1t converts
trifles into tragedies, and so the par
ents' love. that was meant to bless. be-
comes a curse as black as malice it
self could have devised.
Not long ago I was witness to a
pathetic and poignant illustration of
the unwisdom of this over-tender
mother love. In a far country I was
staying at a hotel at which there was
young bride who was going thru
such agonies of inconsistencies that it
Frustrated her in body and soul and
made her husband utterly miserable,
for it is no cheering thing for a man
to come home at night to a wife who
is sodden with tears, and breaking her
heart for those she has left behind
her
In this case the husband was a
splendid young fellow, with a brilliant
future before him If he stayed ten
or fifteen years in foreign parts. His

for him, and wanted him to succeed.
but she was a spoiled child and did
not know how to meet the conditions
that confronted her.
She told me that until she started
on this journey half around the world
she had never slept night out of her
mothers room, or been separated
from her mother a single day. Her
mother could not bear to be parted
from her, so she had never been sent
off to school. or allowed to make a
visit without mother being along, and
when she was taken away from
mother she was utterly lost. She
couldn't eat anything but mothers
cooking. She thought everything
wrong S&At was different from
mothers point of view. She had al
ways appealed to mother for advice,
and she had no courage of her own
opinions.
Inasmuch ,as every girl is liable to
marry and have to go where her hus-
bands fortunes call him., how wrong
a thing it is for a mother to tie her
daughters to her apron strings, and
make them utterly dependent upon
her instead of teaching them to rely
on themselves. For this young wo-
mans case is not alone. There are
thousands like it, tragedies that might
be avoided if their mothers had only
had the courage to wean them, and
prepare them in time for the inevita-
BILE separation.

THE BONUS PROPOSAL.

The voters of Kansas, at the ap-
preaching election in November, will
be called upon to decide by their bal
lots for or against a proposal to au-
thorize the state to issue its bonds in
the sum of s25,oOo,Oo for the pur-
pose of paying bonus to its soldiers
who served in the Great War.
Advocates of the state soldiers
compensation measure draw one clear
line of distinction between TIE Kansas
proposition and the national adjusted
compensation bill. This difference
lies in the method of raising the funds
with which to pay the ex-service men.
President Harding has said he
would not veto the present pending
bill if a source of funds were pro-
vided within it. 1t is pointed out that
this stumbling block need not obtain
as an objection to the Kansas meas
ure because the source of revenue is
to be thru the long-tried and regular
system of direct taxation on property
values.
According to the figures of the state
tax commission, the average cost per
year to the taxpayer of Kansas will be
less than SO cents per thousand dol
lars of assessed property valuation, if
the referendum proposition be passed.
The proposed measure provides
that all residents of Kansas at the
time of their entering the armed
forces of the United States during the
war with Germany, shall receive 81
day for the time they were in service.
The governor, the secretary of state
and the state auditor will, under the
provisions of the bill, compose a COM
mission to issue bonds in the sum of
not exceeding $25,00o,OOO to provide
the funds. These bonds are to be is
sued in instaIlments at such times as
are necessary to provide funds. The
interest rate shall not exceed ~ per
cent under the bill. 1t is believed by
state officials that the interest rate is
likely not to be more than Az per
cent. thus making the total cost much
lower.
The question is entitled to mature
consideration and intelligent action by
the individual citizen.

However, 1 have had one hearten-

about the place when went IN me
first thing 1 saw was a sign over the
cigar and notion counter in front. 1t
read: These goods are for sale; If you
don't believe it, try to buy some or
them" A barber shop with such
sign it bound to have atmosphere.
Later 1 was to discover that the elder
" salesman behind the counter mad

the DAYS when variety was variety.
The barber on the third chair had
been a song-and-dance man and
top-line performer. The barber on

We are domiciled for the night in
one of the famous old caravansaries

fashioned hotel which makes me think
of the whatnot in grandmother's sit

agement he acquired the skill that
made his wave and himself famous.
In only one point has Marcel fallen
short of the standards of greatness in
business. Considering his assets and
his reputation the fortune he amassed
would leave the successful business
man of this country flabbergasted.
Monsieur Marcel retired to his cha
teau with considerably less than
million dollars-about 100000 to be
more exact.
To be sure he retired when he was
only middle-aged. But to work so
long and so hard, and then when sue
cess came to retire calmly with less
than a million! The longer you think
of it the more certain you become
that Marcel is not eligible to smoke
big black cigars with our large and
select group of financial wizards and
big business men. His neglecting this
point is hard for an American to .un-
derstand- 1t can only be explained
on two grounds; Monsieur Marcel is
French. and he was not brought up
on the American success magazines.

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

Dear Mrs. Thompson: There is a
boy who goes to the same dances
do and he dances most of the time
with me. He wants me to go around
with him, but he also goes with a girl
who has a bad reputation. His repu-
tation also is not of the highest quail
ity, but I like him very much. My
parents do not want me to go in COM
pany yet as I am only fourteen years
old The boy is seventeen years old.
He and 1 are always invited to the
same parties and dances and he al
ways takes another girl to parties.
Am 1 too young to go in company
yet?
Should I permit him to bring me
home If he does not take me to
parties?
Should I allow another boy to take
me around even If the former boy is
Jealous of me?
LONESOME KAY.
You are very much too young to
pany with boys. Unless you are care
and people will say that your reputa-
ton is not any too good.
A girl cannot be too careful of the
friends she chooses and therefore /
would not advise you to think seri-
ously of the boy of questionable repu-
tation who goes with a girl of bad
reputation. If you were seen much
with him your name would soon be
linked with the name of the other girl.
As yet you are too young to go with
any boys. Jealousy on the part of the
boy you like makes no difference,
however. He was no claim on you.

The paramount question in cOnnec-
tion with the railway strike has be-
come, who owns the job? The para
mount problem, however, for the pub
lie, is not whether the railway en-
ployes or the managers are Justified
altho 1t is essential that justice be ac-
corded to both sides in every such dis
pute-but how to prevent the periodic
recurrence of the threat against the
economic life of the nation which has
characterized the differences between
railroad labor and the railway man
ayers for a number of years. Every
American citizen has a vital interest
in the future of American railroads
This interest was expressed by con-
gress in the transportation act of
1920. which created the railway labor
board, and the public is making it's in
terest felt at this tin'c by insisting
that the grievances be presented be
fore the labor board for its hearing
and decision and that-in the meantime
the railways be kept IN operation. In
time, perhaps, We shall discover
means for conquering economic mall
adjustments precisely as we are slowly
conquering epidemics of dis ,ase which
have scourged the world for thousands
of years. The cause of self-govern-
ment, however, will not be helped If
the agencies thru which it functions
are defied by any class of the COM
munity. And. as public opinion is the
most powerful force in this country,
its influence should increasingly be
felt in such disputes before they get
beyond the stage of reasonably easy
adjustment

JUST FOLKS

BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

THE SPEEDING CRAZE.
At this modern speeding mania,
We stand aghast with bated breath,
As its horrible accidents
Take such terrible toll of death;
And oft we ask the question why
Sane mortals crave this fearful pace,
That's bound, in course of time, to create
A high-strung neurasthenic race.
But tho this merciIess speeding craze
Like flood is menacing the land,
Leaving disaster in its wake
And snuffing out lives on ev'ry hand,
Yet mighty crowds cheer and applaud
When man gambols with death any day,
With never thought Of consequence,
Or the grim toll he's likely to pay.
Lest We forget that reckless speed
May plunge a nation into gloom,
Remember how the world was shocked
At the Titanic's awful doom:
Her frightful speed she would not slacken
Zen tho the cruel iceberg frOwned,
So meath the wave her huge form sank,
And hundreds of helpless passengers
drowned.
And of late years. it's appalling,
The sacrifice of life each year,
To the fearsome speeding autos
whose drivers seem devoid of feari
And indeed there is no safety
On the streets of city or town.
For unless ones always watching,
He's quite liable to be run down.
If public sentiment would awake
And fr0wn upon this craze for speed,
1t could stop such senseless folly,
And save a world of grief indeed;
And what blessing it would be
To this old world these strenuous days,
II life no more was sacrificed
To this lamentable speeding craze.

The right of any man individually
TO quit work is not denied. The right
of any number OF men to quit work in
concert few will dispute. But the
right of a man or group of men who
have voluntarily given up their jobs
to demand at will that former rela-
tons with the employer be restored is
one which now is in the process of
settlement. Probably it will not be
determined until determined by the
