man, but " on went on as If to
keep the thread of the conversation
in his teeth.
Eyes, yes, Ike, 1 know about my plug
hat and all that; and then do you re
member how l ran for judge and was
nominated for congress back in "a as
a dark horse on the three hundredtn
ballot, and how 1 was elected and told
the people from the box down by the
bonfire in the public square that was
going to be worthy of the honor? Ike,
the tears l shed there vas honest tears,
for God knows how proud l was. All
these ten years were before me, and
what a great ten years l hoped they
would be. l thought of my plans as
a boy-you and me on the fence down
in the valley, Ike-and l looked over
all the names in congress then-ten
years ago l mean-and they seemed
great names to me. l could hardly
wait to get to Washington to see the
men and to be one Of them, 1 was
such a boy, Ike-ten years ago"
Each man pulled his cigar in a mo-
ment's pause. Wharton lighted a
fresh one. Russell thought in so many
words: IT'S one of Toms talkative
nights"
Wharton took up the thread where
it had dropped.
Here 1 am, Ike, a fesh-and-blood
statesman. I've been in it and through
it. I've held as high q place in the
organization of the house as any Of
the great men we used to read about.
I've passed a pension bill-and the
old soldiers, for whom l worked night
and day during six months, have
passed resolutions against me. l have
had my name on a silver bill for which
the fiat money fellows have abused
me. I've led my party through two
successful fights. And what is there
in 1t? You know, as well as l do,
that it is hollow-all a hollow show.
What's the use of it? Why should a
man wear his life out up there in that
city just to keep his name in print?
There was a man named Keifer-an
Ohio man, who was speaker Of the
house once. Who that reads the pa
pers knows anything of him today2
Yet he worked his life nearly out to
be a statesman. Where are the sec
onds in the Blaine-C onkling fight? Ike,
there's nothing in it but ashes.
The politician said nothing; he did
not know how the talk was turning.

BURBANKING YOUR CHILD
BY Zahrah E. Preble

Luther Burbank says: whoever be-
lieves there is a great gulf between
plant life and human life is wrong.
Racial improvement, like plant i'm
provement, is all a matter of heredity,
environment, selection and crossing of
types. The strongest conviction l
have, after breeding plants sixty years,
is that what can be done with plants
can be done with human beings-and
must be done if our civilization is not
to be overwhelmed by the unfit. Plant
life, | I'M convinced. is no more plastic
than human life"
What can you do with your child
to improve him for his own sake and
the sake of the future race? You have
already furnished him with heredity-
those strong and weak tendencies
which are born with the child. These
tendencies are not yet characteristics.
They are merely %signposts which in
dictate the way that young nature may
be turned by careful culture or care
less neglect. You know what happens
to a garden which is left to it's own
devices, and that ever in the most
carefully tended garden weeds will
spring up. But the good gardener
does not deny the flowers their proper
amount of water and care in order to
starve out the weeds. He pulls out
the latter by the roots.
In the matter of cultivation of your
child to bring out the best potential
qualities, the environment has a last
ing and formative effect. Much can
be done to overcome even unfavor-
able physical surroundings, if the
mental atmosphere is made harmo-
NOUS and the child taught to look for
and see advantages and beauty every
where. True environment is more a
matter of mental attitude than most
people realize. If the parents are
constantly criticizing their surround
ings, what can they expect the child
to develop except an undesirable criti-
cal attitude toward all phases of life?
1t is in selection of the strongest
physical and mental tendencies and
the training of these toward the best
expression that the parent acts as a
Burbank with the child. Is the child
showing a strange stubborn quality
which seems to be the predominant
tendency? Do not consider this a
fragrant weed, but look upon it as a
desirable trait of determination, and
by judicious selection of interests

taking a firmer hold on his cigar. and
tightly grasping the arms of the chair,
ike, what's the use? Here comes q
lot of Bills and Dicks and Toms and
Harrys, who want me to put up $1,000
and promises that I'll be two years
working to keep, just to go back there.
l go back there and work and fret and
stew for this, that and for the other
thing that 1 don't care a CEN for. l

steFs of the same sort in congress at
Washington. If l go on, l must buy
my way in buy my own slavery, Ike,
slavery to the fellows l despise. l
know I've done it three or four times,
but L kept thinking the end would
some day justify the means. But it
doesn't; it never will its a fraud, Ike,
and I'm done. l am going to be honest
just for once in my life. | don't have
to go to congress l can be lots hap

sue in this campaign and I'm out of
this fight. Let's go in and hear the
music. Ike. That's the end Of 1t, I've
thought it all Over and I've decided"
Probably most men-at least most
moraiizing men-would have called the
"old man" weak had they seer him the
following Monday making out a check
payable to Isaac Russell for $500.
But most men do not know what it is
to worship an idol for a lifetime, and
they cannot understand how q man
can love his idol even when he knows
to his bitter sorrow that it is only clay.

train it toward that end, thus bur
banking" what otherwise might re-
main a weed forever. Opposition or
forcing will not do the work, only
careful, patient understanding and
directing will accomplish the best re-
suit. Consider what Burbank did with
a wild Mexican grass. In eighteen
years it's meager seed had become full
ears of corn under his skillful hand
ling. You have more than eighteen
years in which to burbank" the prom
Using traits of your child. But re-
member, patient training and inter
ference are two very different things,
and produce widely opposite results.
Look to yourself first to see if you
are a good gardener before you at
tempt to experiment with nature.
You cannot live your child's life,
any more than the gardener can live
the life of the rose or cactus. But
as the gardener can make the rose
more desirable by training it to shed
instead of an %unfriendly plant to man
kind by depriving it of it's spines, so
you can train your child's tendencies
and mind to make of him a better
citizen.
Speaking on the subject of world
peace, Frank A. Vanderlip recently
said: Europe needs only a simple
moral guidance for its salvation, and
we as a nation should be giving it.
The United States today is facing as
momentous a decision as when we
were debating our entry into the
World War. But the debating now is
on u part in peace, and we are lack
ing decision while the world waits for
us. l believe we are weak morally,
as a nation, and in the Eyes of the
world we are losing respect"
The truth of Mr.. Vandelip's state
ment is painfully apparent to all
thinking persons. 1t is time to begin
developing strength of character in
the next generation and this work
should in the kindergarten
where s~elf-respect and respect for the
rights of others as well as truthful
ness, honesty, unselfishness and in
tegrity are cultivated at an early age.
If there is no kindergarten in your
public school write to the National
Kindergarten Association, s West 40th
street, New York, N. Y, for informa-
ton, advice and literature.

EXCURSION TRAINS BRING 963 ON
A WET SUNDAY

Notwithstanding the very adverse
weather condition last Sunday, April
18th, the special excursion train run
from Five Mile Beach to Phila-
delphia that day, by the West Jersey
and Seashore Railroad Company, was
fairly well patronized. This train of
eight coaches, carrying 469 passen-
gers, left wildwood avenue station at
6.45 A. M; returning, the time of de-
p~arture from Market street wharf was
1925 P. M.
The regular Sunday excursion
trains on the same road from Phila-
delphia and Camden to Wildwood
brought down 663 passengers in II
coaches. The Reading had one sec
ton of six coaches, hauling 800 ex-
cursionists; total for Wildwood and
allied resorts, that inclement April
day was, therefore, 963-pretty close
of one thousand.
The first section on the Pennsy ar
rived at Wildwood station at $50; the
second section at 9.0S; the Reading
rolled in at 9.20.

the part Of the certain third person
always nameless-who would need
money for cigars and livery hire.
Wharton put these statesmen off, ano
they went away doubling whether they
would support the "old man. or fight
him. The congressman's presence in
the little town was an event, and he
had callers all day long who seemed
to need help in different ways. Sol
diers desired pensions, mothers asked
for positions in Washington for their
sons young ONE called to see about
clerkships; widows, whose husbands
he had known, came to borrow money.
He was honestly glad to see all these
people and, when he could, he helped
them; he rarely made an enemy, even
though he always was frank.
1t was Saturday evening, and Whar-
ton was just entering on his second
week at home, he and his friend, Ike
Russell, were sitting ON the southern
porch of the congressman's home.
Their wives and daughters were in the
parlor around the piano, and the two
men were at that preliminary stage
of conversation in which ideas are
conveyed by grunts and monosyllables.
"What did Hughey of Smith City
want today?' asked Russell.
about two hundred. more or less"
said the congressman.
"Hughey's a thief; he'd spend about
$50, and the rest would go into his
jeans.'
81 suppose so," Wharton answered.
"Say we lose Smith county?"
well, you say" said his friend.
"Did you see Higgins, from Lee val
ley? He told me last month hat he
had five fellows who could swing Lee
county for 500 apiece"
ugh" grunted the congressman.
''That makes $1,000 so far, if l come
down.
'Well, that's cheaper than you got
off before-by several hundred"
Wharton yawned, and the silence
that followed was broken only by the
tinkle Of the COW bells in the valley
below the town, and the splash Of wa
ter over the dam across the river that
runs around the village. Occasionally
the sound of voices singing on the wa
ter or the notes of a guitar would come
up on the gusts of wind. The piano
in the parlor was silent, and the moon
was barely visible under the eastern
corner Of the porch. The men had
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1923-04-20

smoked in silence a few moments when
Wharton said:
ike, what is the real issue in this
campaign"
81 dunno, old man sometimes I think
it's the tariff sometimes l think it's
silver; and then at other times l just
give it all up. What's your idea,
Tom?"
The congressman did not reply at
once he seemed to be pulling his ideas
together for a longer speech than usu-
al. He twisted his gray mustache
nerv0usly he looked askance at his
friend, who was apparently listening
to the music that had just started up
again in the parlor. Wharton went
over to the garden hose which was
turned upon a shrub, changed its
course, came back, relighting his cigar,
and said:
"B'Godfrey, 1 don't know, Ike, l
don't know. Do you remember when
we used to cut corr at six cents a
shock, and go to school down the val
ley where those COW bells were tinkling
q little while ago? We used to sit on
the fence of nights like this and talk
way into the night about what we
were going to do?"
"Yes?" said the politician, expect
antly.
Yes, and l used to hope to go to
congress some day we used to talk
of the old-time statesmen and read
their speeches in the school readers
CLAY and Calhoun and the great men
whose names we knew as boys. They
were tall, spare men in swallow-tailed
coats and chokers, and hair that looked
fierce and statesmanlike. Do you re-
member the congressman from this dis
trict forty years ago.; how dignified
he was, what a really great man he
must have been? He lived greatness
every hour of his life. The men who
went to the territorial legislature
how superior they seemed, with their
tall hats and close-buttoned coats !.
Ike, do you remember when l went to
the legislature in the winter of 10,
and came back discouraged and disap-
pointed with the sham of it all-the
row and the rings and the schemes?'
Russell would have interjected some
reminiscent joke on the young states

MACHINISTS UNION

Machinists Local No. 80 |. A. of M.
met in regular session Tuesday even
ing with Pres. Joe Church in the
chair and large number of members
in attendance.
The regular routine business was
transacted without vast of time as 1T
was rumored that something would
be doing after adjournment.
Among the communications re
ceived was one from Bro. James p.
Wolfe, who is in Washington on bus
mess, stating that Bros. Conlon and
Brown, grand lodge officers, would be
present at the Shop Crafts Federation
meeting on July 25, and would dis
cuss some important matters.
The delegates to the Trades Assem-
bly, made a good report, and the mat
ter of the street car situation as they
presented it, was thoroughly dis
cussed.
1t was decided to turn out in full
force in the Labor Day parade, and
the Local is in favor of the Federation
hiring a special band for the shop
crafts.
The new bylaws, as revised by the
committee of District No. 20 were ap-
proved as read.
After adjournment the boys re
paired to the room across the hall,
where ice cream, pop and union made
cigars were served; the affair being
made the more enjoyable by the eX-
cellent cabaret entertainment render
ed, with Bros. Clyde Wade at the
piano, vocal selections by Bros. Ryan,
Swern and Wolverton, concluding
with classical and fantastic terp-
sichorean eccentricities Interpreted
