IMPARTIAL THOUGHT

The very fact that d sentence III Senator Copeland's speech in Atlanta
 the other day, offends at this time,
 just after the death of President
 Harding, illustrates the point we
 would make here. The good points of
 Senator Copeland's address, made Aug. 2, before the death of the presi-
 dent, should not be overlooked merely
 because he then characterized the
 presidents trip as a "joy ride" Quite
 probably Senator Copeland appre-
 ciates the unseemliness of the remark
 now. So we, in considering the world
 situation today, should think impar-
 tially. It isn't a good idea to laugh at a man because we don't like his looks, or to consider what he says unworthy of study merely because he says one thing of which we disap- prove.
 So we, living in New Britain and interested in all that pertains to man ufacturing rather than to farming, should not forget the farmer and his needs. Nor should those who do not do daily manual labor forget the la boring man. This duty rests far more heavily upon the person who does not do manual labor than upon those who do, for the latter have fewer spokes- men than does the other class of peo- pie.
 Thus paragraph of Senator Cope lands address contains thought that we can not get away from, no matter how prejudiced we may be. He says that 22 states carried by the republi- cans in 1920 have swung over to the.I democrats and he asserted the defec- ton was because our country will not stand for the thoughtless neglect of the multitude for the sake of enrich ing the few"
 If the case were proven there would | be no question of the result. If the great mass of the people believed that not only the present administration but many administrations in the past | had neglected the muititude," the present administration would, have little chance of remaining in power. One asks immediately is the case proven? Has the multitude including the farmer been neglected? And what is the multitude? The multitude, may it not be said. is composed of the men and women who work hard daily. if not under direct orders of some employer. at least under com mand of those whom he serves. And | many of the employers. too. are mem- bers of this multitude. The farmer is | one. If we are able to think impar- tiai1y. and were forced to state what | class of people has been most con- s1dered. which most forgotten in the last year could we help saying that it is the multitude that has been for gotten7
 One realizes that those outside of the multitude would smile over such statement and lay it aside with a cas- ual remark, Nonsense" But it is be- l1eved that there are many outside this who realize the advantage of their position and the deference,- practical deference-tfar has been shown them They are thinking of the seriousness of the situation: they are of the multitude. The op- timist may belfe,e that the time is not Ear off when the voice of the multitude employer and employe, either or both. will be heard. It will ge a good day.

Is Democracy Done For9

Is Democracy Done For?
FAR greater Italian than Mussoini
~ comes forward to champion the prin-
cirles of democracy which that die
tator contemns. Ferrero, historian and
philosopher, makes bold to declare that Italy
is suffering mot because liberalism and
democracy are old and dead but because they
are scarcely born and run the risk Of dying
in their cradle from some obscure infantile
disease"
The modernists against whom this shaft Is
aimed may not feel its keenness so wise are
they in their own conceits; but its truth is
none the less penetrating. The leader of the
italian Fascist is not alone in nursing the
fulness It's power, its hope and is doomed
to be supplanted by one or another form of
absolutism. In the land of The Declaration
CT Independence itself there are persons who
think of that instrument and of the ensuing
Constitution as relics of a political system
which has passed into it's dotage.
Extremists both of the radical and of the
reactionary type are cocksure that their fads
will dominate the future, the one exploiting
a sort OF Bolshevism, the other sort Of
Bourbonism. Democracy, they join In de-
claring is done for. What comes of letting
these doctrinaires have their way may be
seen from a glance at the Russia of Lenine
and at the Italy Of Mussolini. They imagine
themselves as far apart as the east is from
the west; and so they are in theory. But in
as pippins; and in nothing are they more
alike than in their utter lack Of tolerance for
any kind of opposition For those rights of
the minority which democratic government is
sworn to recognize and safeguard they have
no countenance-nor for rights of the ma
jority when it does not suit their purpose.
This is supposed by the Mussolinis and
the Lenines to be drastically progressive, but
as a fact it is decadent. Ferrero truly says.
eff you wish to judge whether a political
doctrine belongs to our time and to Western
civilization, or whether it is a philosophical
fancy colored more or less with Eastern
flashes, ask him who processes it whether he
allows the right of opposition or not, and
in what degree?" Democracy, like Chris
tianity of which it is part, far from being
outworn, is as yet in it's dawn-lush is as
yet, Indeed, really to be tried.

SHAKESPEARE SAYS

The forward pioIet thus did chide:
Sweet thief, whence didSt thou steal thy
sweet that smells,
If not from my loves BREATH The purple
pride
Which on thy soft cheek for complexion
dWeHS,
In my loves peins thou hast too grossly
dy'd.
The lily condemned for thy hand,
And buds of r1aUoram had stolen thy
hair;
The rosss fearfuuy on thorns did stand,
One bIushing shame, another white despair;
third, nor red nor white, had stolen Of
both,
And to his robbery had annexed thy breath;
But for his theft, in pride of all his growth
"A pengefuI canker eat him up to DEATH.
More fIowerS noted, yet / none could
see,
But sweet or colour it had stolen from
thee.-The goth Sonnet.

ON THE HEIGHTS
nv RFPTON RPATFY


q OONERs or later, they say, dear lass.
The fervor and fever of love must
pass;
And the maddest of lovers will settle
down
Out in the country or in the town,
To hun-drum living and routine bliss.
And maybe, some day, we'll come to this;
Faithful, loyal through good or i'll,
But sensing never a single thrill.
Such is our destiny, so they say,
Such is ever the human way,
For the heart can't always maintain a beat
AS swift as the the thought of you brings
me, sweet,
And Time Of Youth is a subtle thief,
And high romance Is a glamor brief,
If that be true-and it's doubtless So
Let's seize our moments before they go.
For now-you're a song on the air afloat
A flame in my heart and a catch in my
throat,
And all the magic Of land or sea
Is your enchantment cast over me,
If we must descend from the heights in
time,
Well now, at least, there are heights to
climb!
Let the old world wrinkle its cynical brow,
But oh, it's great in the clouds just now!

AND THIS is 1929!
By DR.. Frank Crane

would like to have you read the following
quotations and see if you can guess where are
the conditions described and in what century.
Do not conclude too hastily that it is a story
of what took place in the time of the Borgias:
"The south section of the first floor is
small dark room containing a cage of five
cells and a narrow corridor. The cage and
the the cell door are built of closely set bars.
The cage corridor extends the length of the
cells The cells are solid iron and are placed
back to back with the cells Of the north sec
ton.
'"The cells are so dark that it is almost i'm
possible to see what is in them. There are
wall cots in some In Others, the prisoners
are compelled to sleep on mattresses on the
floor. There are three men to each narrow
cell. The mattresses and blankets are OLD,
very dirty, and filled with vermln.
1.-The walls of the cage and the room are
horribly defaced and have not been white
washed or painted for a long time.
Small vegetable cans are used for night
buckets. There are only two night buckets
that do not leak, the men said. The tin veg
etabIe cans are uncovered. There is toilet
and a tub at the end of the corridor. The
men are locked in their cells at o'clock ana
have no access to the toilet until o'clock IN
the morning.
'The men said that rats and vermin make
the cells unbearable. They complained very
bitterly OF the drinking wafer. 1uey SeL INV
water from the faucets and they say that fhe
water for drinking is warm and the water for
washing is cold
"The men were unshaven and their clothing
was untidy. AS changes of clothing or under
clothing are not provided by the county, few
of the men can keep clean. They wash their
own clothes in the water, which they say is
not hot enough to secure cleanliness, ana
clothing has to be dried in a dark cage.
Separate towels are not provided ana
healthy men must use the same towels as men
infected with gonorrhea, syphilis, tuberculo-
sis, or other contagious diseases"
No; this was all not a thousand years ago.
in the dark ages, and not somewhere in Tur-
key or Egypt. -,
1t was just yesterday, and in Danvilie, H.
the home Of Uncle Joe Cannon and clVlllza-
ton. The condition described had been ex-
listing year in and year out for half century
or more, and it was not until few years ago
that new Jail was built.

"CrucibIes of Crime" by Joseph F. Fishman,
a book every American should read, yet a
book that will make every American ashamed.

MY FAVORITE STORIES

The gentleman who entered the popular
price restaurant must have had a great night
the night before. Because he felt so mis-
cradle this morning. And looked it! He
disheveled; his eyes were wan and
bloodshot; his hand trembled. In short, it
was plain to any eye that he suffered from
what technically, is known as hangover.
He fell into chair at the table, took one
look at the breakfast menu and gagged. To
him, all affability, came colored waiter.

"whut's it goin' to be this mawnin'?'

shifted the close air of the little place and

About all I want, guess, is two fried eggs

'Lemme see eff I got that right?" said the
waiter. "YOu IS feelin' kind of puny so all
witch you Graves from me is two fried aigs
an a few kind words"
"Thats it-with plenty Of ice water!'
The colOred man hurried to the kitchen.
Presently he returned balancing small plat

The Governors Probosa J OF
Prison Condensation

wUCH favorable comment has followed
NE Governor Hardwicks proposal that
Georgia adopt, as other states al
ready have done, a system Of compromising
her penitentary prisoners, to the end that
their dependents at home may not be left
utterly unprovided for and that they them
selves, on completing their terms of punish
ment, may not have to face a hard world with
never a dollars stake.
The Governors idea is in line with the
soundest, the sanest thought on penal prob
lens. It is not only humanitarian and just,
but also practical and wise; and if tested,
will prove as profitable no doubt, to the
commonwealth as it will be equitable to the
individuals concerned. Able observers of
such matters saw long ago that it is unwise
az well as unjust for the state to take away
a family's support without giving the un-
fortunate wife and children some sort of
reQuitaI. Such policy amounts to punish
ing the innocent along with the guilty, and
for that reason alone should be modified.
But it involves other evils, economic evils,
not so generally perceived.
The dependents must be cared for in one
way or another. A humane people cannot be
Indifferent to the helpless whose father
husband or son is in prison. They become
wards of charity, public or private, and as
such cost the community far more in the
aggregate than would the compensation plan
now proposed. Besides, it is socially wrong
to make them objects of charity when there
is another and fairer means of maintaining
them. Ninety cases out of every hundred
In which pleas for cIemency are presented to
me-" says Governor Hardwick, "are based
upon the fact that the dependents of the
convict are starving" The state owes it to
these innocent ones to provide, II possible,
some way whereby the labor of their impris-
oned bread winners may be turned to their
support.
Furthermore the prisoner himself for the
should be enabled to accumulate during his
term enough earnings to tide him over the
first few disheartening weeks or months
which are likely to confront him when re-
leased. There is no doubt" the Governor
declares that many who come out Of
prison imbued with a great and eager pur-
pose to make good, are forced back by peo-
pies lack of confidence and of sympathy and
by lack of sufficient funds to keep them going
until they can secure work. Doubtless, too,
members of the prisoners family are some
times constrained to dishonesty when their
sole support is taken from them and thrown
into Jail" Consider, moreover, what an in
centive to good conduct and aid to good
character it would be to permit prisoners to
contribute by their labor to the upkeep OF
those they leave at home and themselves to

INFLUENCING CHILDREN
BY H. Addington Bruce

TN her recently published book, "Coue for
| Children" Gertrude Mayo summarizes the
famous French suggestionist's principal
recommendations for the upbringing of little
children.
These recommendations have no element of
novelty and indeed have myself stressed al
most all of them from time to time But they
are so fundamental and presented so concise
ly that they merit and readily lend them
selves to, repetition in the space at my dis
posal.
We find, then, that Coue advises, when
dealing with children or in the presence Of
children:
Always maintain an even temper
Speak in a firm but gentle voice.
Avoid any suggestion of cruelty that would
destroy confidence
Never speak i'll of any one.
Always answer children's questions with
kindness and intelligence
Never tell them they are lazy and naughty.
Always give them encouragement even in
the most discouraging circumstances
Never talk of illness before them-teach
them that health is normal.
Never instil fear of any of the conditions
natural in life.
Never give them ideas of unnatural things
Awaken love Of study and work,
Teach them to be polite and amtable to
everybody.
Develop self-confdence and decision by ev-
cry means.
Teach them to think always that they are
going to succeed
Teach them that they must work hard to
attain success.
Above all, give them good example in all
things.
Won NAV nrotest that this tabuIation con-
stitutes a counsel of perfection which it Is
impossible to realize fully. But must it not
be admitted that it is possible to realize 1t to
great extent, if only the effort to realize 1t
be earnestly made?
Must it not be admitted too, that many par
ents fail to make such an effort largely be-
cause they do not keep sufficiently in mind
what is required of them and possible to
them as architects of their childrens destiny?
That is why gladly give added publicity to
the Coue formula for child training. 1t is so
short, so simply worded, that any parent can
memorize it,
Or, if memorization is not thought desir-
able it can at least be clipped out of this
newspaper and kept convenient for frequent
reference. And I would assure parents that
faithful application of the training rules COM
prised in it will bring good results, perhaps
astonishingly good results.
