RAISING CHILDREN
BY MRS.

%HIS is a subject frequently discussed.
1t is interesting to motherhood. Every
childbirth or poor, bond or free
white, yellow, brown and black-has had
one particular thing in common, namely, a
mother.
When the Lord spoke to Abraham con-
corning his duty to his descendants-the
father had great deal to do with the rails
ing of children. The Bible says, train up
a child in the wav he should go and when
he is old he will not depart from it. Abra-
hams example was expected to DO vast
deal for the conduct of his children.
The mother with her maternity obliga-
tons is much too often blamed for the
misconduct OF her offspring, when, according
to the words of the Lord, in speaking of
Abraham, the father holds equal, if not SUI
perior, obligations to the mother in such
training and duty to offspring,
This question of raising children, is at
the bottom of everything, humanity speak
ing. BY the time a couple gets grown and
marries the future or fate of their offsprin g
is the main issue of their existence. 1t is
true that a great many people live entirely
for themselves but the fruitage of their
lives will be either good or bad, if they can
not enjoy satisfaction with the conduct Of
their own children. When the little baby
lies in it's mothers arms, its helplessness is
touching, also pathetic--but that little in
FAINT may grow into maturity and abso-
luteIy make or mar the happiness of it's
parents. The skeletons in the closet are
more than apt to be the sinful follies of
the children who ran the pace" regardless
Of the misery of those who love them most
sincerely.
Thus we understand the prime necessity
for training the child in the way it should
go, for the good of all concerned, here and
hereafter.
Great wealth is found to be good for
great material enterprises, but great wealth
is a serious handicap to the children of the
very wealthy. Self-made men have profited
by industry and self-denial. There mus DE
some industry and self-sacrifice in every
fine characterize form its healthy basis-to
build upon The child that is pampered
and gets all it sees and demands withoN t
personal effort, is obliged to be a sort of
mushroom among its hardy playmates in the
garden Of life.
We might safely denominate good train
ing for children character building" That
is a very comprehensive term in its scope
and Importance. There is SO much involve
that child raising should be viewed from
every angle--and it will not be forgotten
that all children are imitators as soon as
they get old enough to put two and two
together" and follow their elders. Con-
fined to the home, in early youth they
naturally attempt to do what their parents
do. They incline to food they see them
enjoy, and are prompt OF talk like their

MY FAVORITE STORIES


This, as it happens, is a true story. A
few days before the holiday there met on
Broadway two well-known citizens Of New
York. One was distinguished in business
the other, in certain circles, was equally ia
nous as being the most persistent borrower
of money-without security-on the entire
eastern seaboard. On one pretext or another
he was forever getting sums, great or small,
from friends or comparative strangers, and
never by any chance did he pay anybody
back. He made fairly comfortable living at
it, too.
The business man was no intimate of his;
their acquaintance was of the sketchiest
sort, but of course, each knew the other by
reputation. After a few casual remarks they
separated.
That evening, at his residence, the bust
ness man found letter sent out by special
delivery. 1t was from the champion Dor
rover. It read as follows;
MY Dear Old Man: Meeting you today
so pleasantly revived memories Of our for
mer meetings. 1t stirred in my heart
thoughts Of the approaching Iuleude-ot the
season when there should be peace on earth
and goodwill among men. Now, as it hap
pens, the coming of the most important fes-
tivaI Of the whole year finds me financially
bit embarrassed. This condition IS only
transient I assure you, but need funds

me by return mail your check for one thou

porary favor I am as ever.
yours, etc, etc."
The recipient sat right down and wrote
reply and posted it that same night He
said:
My Dear Blank: I have just read Your
communication of this date and this is my
answer to it. But YOU will search these con-
tents in vain for any check bearing my
signature.
with you I share the holiday spirit. Like
you I look forward to enjoying the day.
If I sent YOU one thousand dollars of my
money, you might have merry Christmas,

with valuation of $75,983, 100000 for sim
liar items in the United States in 1922. The
increase in the South was S5.1 per cent COM
pared with 1913 per cent in the United
States. The value of motor vehicles was not
reported separately in 1912, but the valua-
ton for this class of property in 1922 in the
South amounted to $1,051,7S7,O00 and 49,,
SGT, 100000 for the United States"
Such increases in material riches do but
emphasize the South's obligation to schools
and colleges and other agencis of cultural
or spiritual nature. No longer can it be said
that she is unable to endow institutions of
learning, nor indeed that she is falling to do
so; for gifts, legacies and appropriations for
such purposes continually increase. 1t can
not be stressed too strongly, however, that
to whom much is given, of him shall much
be expected.

@. What was public sentiment in regard
to the purchase of Alaska at the time we
bought it? r. J. A.
A. Probably the phrase Stewards Folly
applied to Alaska will indicate as well as
any words can the attitude of the people to-
ward the purchase of Alaska. American his
tories fail to emphasize the fact that this
government purchased the territory called
Alaska as an appreciation of the support
which Russia gave to the Federal govern
ment during the Civil war. 1t seemingly
was an unwise investment for at the time of
the purchase the public was not aware of the
enormous mineral wealth to be found in the
territory.
O. What color is the passion flower? c.

A. the Department of Agriculture says
that passion flowers vary in color Some are
pale green or white, others are white, tinted
with purple, the purple being found at the

water? B. n. G.
A. In their paunches are numerous side

4 Flood of Lars

~ TX hundred bills are said to have been
passed by the New York Legislature at
- its recent session, most Of them being
rushed through during the crowded final
days
! Six hundred bills! How can the Governor,
within the brief space allowed for his ap-
prevail or veto, give them due consideration?
How could the legislators weigh the merits
and dement's of SO many measures touch
ing so great diversity of interests? VIII
it be surprising If numbers Of them prove
to be wanting in simple clearness and con-
sistency, let alone in statesmanly wisdom?
Will it be surprising, indeed, If grave in
iuries to the common veal result from such
floods of al prepared and undigested legis-
Iation?
New York is not alone in this sort Of
deluge. Each year, as research has shown,
brings an average of twelve thousand new
laws from Congress and the legislatures of
the forty-eight states. Some of these enact
ments are so crudely drawn or are SO cloudy
as to their intent that the keenest judicial
minds cannot make reason of them. That
there should be annually some thirteen thou
sand decisions from the courts on obscure
points of law Is itself most significant
commentary on legislation. Too often do
lawmakers, when dubious about the consti-
tutionality of a bill, spare themselves hard
thinking and speed the problem on to the
courts. Too often, moreover, when unable
to make UP their minds as to the expediency
or the right of proposed act, do they cast it
in doubtful terms, leaving the judiciary to
find meaning and equity where there is next
to none.
But LEGISLATORS alone are not to be CEN
sured. AS The Journal often has said, $50
long as their constituents are more con-
cerned for local or private interests than for
the common good, and so long as the people
imagine that every manner of Ill, political,
economic or social. can be remedied by
statute Just so long shall we have pie
thora of laws and the consequent ills. Bet
ter year of concentration upon the con-
sstent carrying out Of those fundamental
laws on which good government depends
than decade of new helter-skelter legls-
lation. The great need Of America is not
the making of laws, but the enforcement
and, above all, the observance of them.

Gains IN Southern Wealth

~ EORGIA'S estimated wealth in the year
Y 1922 was eighty-four per cent greater
than in 1912, the increase amounting
to one billion seven hundred and seventy
nine million three hundred and forty-nine
thousand dollars. In real estate and i'm
provements the gain during the period was
one hundred and sixteen er cent; in farm
implements and machinery, seventy-two and
two7tenths per cent; in manufacturing ma
chinery, seventy-sx and three-tenths per
cent. In live stock values there was de-
crease of four and four-tenths per cent, a
fact much to be regretted, but, fortunately,
open to speedy change. Georgias railroads
and their equipment were worth upwards of
twenty nine per cent more in 1922 than in
1872 and her stocks Of goods, including We
hicles furniture and clothing seventy-eight
per cent more
These evidences of growth and of prosper
ity, as shown by federal census figures, are
paralleled by the South as a whole. Accord
ing to the Manufacturers Record, Southern
wealth has nearly quadrupled since 1900, and
now amounts to approximately q billion dol
lars more than the total wealth of the entire
country outside OF Dixie some two decades
ago. Touching the sundry sorts of property,
the Manufacturers Record says
I'm 1922 the total value of real property
and improvements in the South was $4O,OS4,-
$4,000 compared with $21,237,243,00 900 in
1912, an increase of SS.7 PEI cent. The total
value of this class Of property in the whole
country in 1922 was $176,414, 444,00O COM
pared with 500, 236,926,OOO in 1912. This
is an increase since 1912 or 61.5 per cent as
compared with the SSH per cent gain in the
Southern states. Farm implements and ma
chinery in the South in 1922 were valued at
S647, 414,OOO, or gain of 75.9 per cent since
1912 while the value of farm implements
and mac linery for the whole country in 1922
was S2604,63S,00 an increase of 9O.4 per
Scent. Manufacturing machinery, tools, and
Implements in the South in 1922 were valued
dl @A,t11, % 1'uVVi Il gam VI LAo'u per cent
compared with 1912. In the United tSates
the total valuation of manufacturing machin-
cry, tools, and implements for 1929 was
$15,7S3,26O 900, or a gain of 1891 per cent
since 1912. The increase in the value Of rail
roads and their equipment>in 1922 compared
with 1912 was about the same in the South
as in the United States, the percentages being
respectively 2S.S and 2S.5. The South's val
uation of railroads and their equipment in
1922 was S5,443, 4O2 900 compared with
S19,95O,S00,OO0 for the whole country. Pri-
vately owned transportation and transmits
sion nnes in the South In 1922 were valued
at s2.699. 100000, or an increase OF II per
cent since 1912 compared with an increase iR
the whole country of 42.1 per cent, the yalu-
alton of this class Of property for the whole
country in 1922, being s156O757oOoO.
Stocks of goods vehicles other than motor,

The Colonial Avalanche.

At the same time, hanging over the
imperialist rulers as a trembling
avalanche, are the colonial peoples
whom they long held under subiec-
ton and exploitation When the COM
ing war starts, we will suddenly learn
that the vast majority of the worlds
population-by far more than half
are colonial inferior" peoples who are
but waiting for the chance to freedom.
India is still present on the tip end
of Asia, with 294,0O0,000 inhabitants
who wish no longer to be the slaves
Of England's few hundred thousands
of upper class. China's $4,000, 900
have lived seven years at the border
of proletarian Russia who tells her
the way to freedom.
When the real world war breaks,
the imperialists will have even more
to watch than their own proletarians.
The Capitalist international"
War is the only "way out" of its
troubles that capitalism knows, and it
is a way into more troubles Of even
more desperate nature. While prepar-
ing for war, capitalism seeks other
and supplementary ways out" The
League of Nations was an attempt to
form huge international machine or
"super-government" Tor World Court
for adjudicating these life-and-death
differences between the powers-the
parcelling out of the worlds popula-
lions and territory for exploitation
without the dangerous resort to war;
but life-and-death differences cannot
be adjudicated, and the League of
Nations has fallen into a wreck, and
the world court" into sham to
cover the faces Of the plotters.
Another device is tried: the Dawes
plan. 1t is the effort to eliminate by
strangulation one of the imperialist
mouths to be fed on the fast dimin-
ishing imperial food-the effort to
strangle Germany as a competing
power. and at the same time to make
the German people into a subject col
ony for exploitation by the great pow.
