CHILDREN AND SUGGESTION.

or course we have been talking
and hearing about Coue, the little
French druggist with his theory OF
the value of to-suggestion, quite as
though 1t were a new thing. Coue
you will remember of course, urged
that we repeat to ourselves, Just as
we were about to go to sleep, the
formula that DAY by Day in Every
Way I'm Getting Better and Better"
Many of the strings with their little
knots for remembrance are discarded
and forgotten now. And so 1t comes
quite as surprise to read the advice
of a modern woman authority on
bringing up children, that we should
suggest to them, especially as they
are falling into sleep or after they
have gone to sleep, those things we
wish them to do-to "be a good boy"
to go to sleep" to wake up happy"
Quite probably the woman who wrote
this book which is an accepted au-
thority, had never heard of Coue and
his autosuggestion when she gave this
advice. And yet it is Coue's advice
to adults concerning themselves as 1t
is her advice to adults in bringing
up their children.
There does seem some sense in the
idea that If a child goes to sleep with
the thought of a mothers soft words
in the child's ears, that child will be
apt to remember on waking up, what
the mother said. We need not go
into the questions of the under con-
scious mind that, scientists tell us,
never sleeps. We don't have to ask
whether or not that sub-conscious
mind has been speaking to the sleep
ing child and the impulse thus Gre
ated. All we have to do is acknowl-
edge that a child, falling off to sleep
or even asleep, hearing or being sur
rounded by soothing suggestions will
wake with the impulse to heed those
suggestions. Il cure no one" de-
clared Coue. II merely show you
how to cure yourself" II do not
compel my child to do right the
mother may say. II merely make the
which becomes part OF
the child and influences him"
Many. many of the new theories of
in which there may be seen much
that is good are merely new forms OF
old inspiration, sensed rather than
learned by us when we were children.
And such old inspirations are Just as
today as they were then In
those old days valuable, even
dressed In their new clothes.

EVERYBODY HAPPY.

Everybody connected with the lead
ership OF the republican, and demo
cratic parties seems to be elated at
the election of Magnus johnson as
senator from Minnesota. The cloud
has a silver lining large enough to
go round. Optimism is the keynote
of the moment. Republicans are de-
lighted because the democratic can
didate cut such a sorry figure in the
contest. Democrats are delighted be-
cause they see In the election a re-
buke to the republican administrat ion
at Washington.
To quote some of the spokesman
for the major parties:
Chairman Adams of the G. o. p.
says: Returns at hand from the
Minnesota election indicate that out
of a total vote of approximately half
million, the democratic candidate
polled about five per cent Certainly
the democratic party cannot get much
comfort out of this result"
Chairman Hull of the democratic
party says: by the defeat of Gov
ernor Preus the voters of the
most stalwart republican state of
Minnesota have administered the
most significant and humiliating de-
feat and reputation the Harding ad-
ministration has yet suffered since
the nationwide reputation of 1922.
The election was the first reaction of
the voters at the polls to President
Harding's transcontinental political
tour with its boast of prosperity, its
characteristic evasions and reversals
and facing both ways"
With Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Hull sat
we assume Mr.. Johnson is
political situation seems
to be serene. It's nice to learn that
everybody is so happy on this bright
July day.

CRISIS IN PHILIPPINES.

dispute of long standing between
Governor General Leonard Wood and
Filipino officials reached it's climax
yesterday when the Filipino council
of state and cabinet resigned because
they resented the dictatorial attitude
of General Wood. The disagreement
had its origin in the question of where
General Woods authority ended and
the authority of the native govern
ment began. Because this question
could not be settled satisfactorily, the
council and cabinet decided that they
could not continue to work with the
American governor and at the same
time retain their self respect.
There is something about the affair
which recalls scenes in the early his
tory of the United States when the
fathers of the country. believing that
there was too much interference on
the part of King Georges representa-
IiNce, pTpbcsltu tldI THEIR human
rights were being ignored. In deal
ing with the Filipinos and their
aspirations to complete independence,
we must not forget that the United
States was at one time in a position
quite similar to the position in which
the people of our Far East islands
today find themselves. We can,
therefore, treat the problem with
sympathy and an open mind.
Self-government is the aim of a
strong party headed by Manuel Que
zon, president of the Filipino senate
and leader of the movement antag-
onistic to General Wood. In its ranks
are found the majority of educated
Filipinos, who chafe under the re-
strictions imposed by General Wood
in the name of the United States.
Quezon, pictured by his countrymen,
or part of them, as patriot whose
soul flames with passion for indie
pendence. was among those who ten
dered their designations yesterday.
He is the central figure in the re-
sistance to General Wood. He has
helped TO mould the thought of his
countrymen and his influence should
not be lightly held. He bids fair to
become the Patrick Henry of his day.
In his reply to the address of res
ignation. General Wood did not spare
the feelings of the Filipinos. His
words were those of the military man
rather than what might be expected
of government official. Time will
show whether his attitude will cause
more harm than good.
"Your action is not based on any
previous protest or complaint" Gen
eral Wood said. 1T indicates or
sanized and preconcerted attack by
Sc Filipino department secretaries

the steel trust collected s2S pei
ton for rails In the United States F
o. B. factory, and sold its surplus al
$40 in foreign countries and, paid the
freight.
THE American farmer sells about
10 per cent of his product in foreign
markets, but that little surplus fixes
the price on the big 80 per cent sold
at home. This not only is unfair but
1t means bankruptcy for agriculture
this year.
1T will take immediate action Of
of congress along the line of the Nor
ris bill to enable the farmers to get
the cost of production out of their
present crop. The president should
call an extra session Immediately.
II have read only three of
the presidents speeches. One urged
a self perpetuating world court, the
last word in universal autocracy. An
other urged confiscating tax in rail-
road rates upon the people of the
United States, especially upon the
farmers, to sustain seven billion dol
lars of water in railroad valuations.
1t denounced the government of the
United States as railroad manager,
but neglected TO say that private
ownership increased the operating ex-
penses upon our people by fourteen
hundred and eighty-five million dol
lars the first 10 months after the gov
eminent turned them back.
1T said the roads could not be re-
placed for nineteen billion dollars but
neglected to say that the value of all
the stocks and bonds representing all
the value of all the roads was less
than twelve billion dollars.
I'm the third speech the president
favored drafting all the people and
all the property in the next war
mind you in the next war. But he
said not word about taxing the
profiteers and dollar year patriots
all around him for the millions and
billions of blood money which they
took from the government during the
World war Just past to pay the bonus
we promised the soldiers.
IT should think that about three
more speeches like these would elect
Henry Ford by about ten million ma
jority If the president is the candi-
date. It is time the republican party
was looking for a candidate who will
fight for the common people and
against Wall street. Someone like
Judge Kenyon should be drafted for
this purpose"
In discussing the situation In Rus
STA, Senator Brookhart said:
"Lenine is the man of the hour
there. He is now suffering from
nervous breakdown brought about by
overwork. His condition Is similar to
that of President Wilson. Trotsky
with whom / talked Is an able man.
The soviet government has abandoned
the communistic plan for that of the

STATE AID.

It would be folly to fail to take
advantage of the 100000 offered by
the state for building roads in New
Britain provided this city will appro-
pirate $3.50 for that purpose. It
would seem that there could be little
doubt about what the city should do.
yet there will be objection made on
the ground that the roads which
would be benefited are not the ones
which need improvement the most.
But this objection is quite beside
the point. A chance is offered the
city to make a fine bargain. For a
comparatively small amount of money
Il will receive the benefits of great
amount. These benefits will be per-
nanent benefits, practically. The
offer should be considered boon not
something that will merely increase
taxes. .
But there is another reason for cit
ing this matter It is practical
illustration of the sort of wise econ
omy which involves paying money out
at a time when effort is being made
to save every cent. A certain i'm
provement is to be made in the city.
That improvement may be carried out
for a small amount plan which
has the immediate endorsement Of
many taxpayers. By increasing the
cost of that improvement very little,
the Improvement may be made prac-
tically permanent. The increased
value of itswill be many times the
increased cost. Accepting the more
expensive plan, in such case, is
often a practice of wise economy
real saving to the people. AS in the
case of the one-story school house,
for instance, more attention should be
paid to the continuing maintenance
cost and less to the initial invest
ment.
