THE "DON'T" HABIT. !.


sBut the child must be disciplined
insisted Mr.. Mann.
"Quite So" calmly agreed Mrs
Mann, "but nagging isn't discipline"
This argument may sound familiar
to hundreds. of parents.
Very frequently all too often
one parent, or the other, mistakes
scolding, nagging and threats for dis
ciplining.
Far too often is the word don't
worked to death.
Good habits for a child to be dds
ciplined" in are obedience, self-re-
lance, sincerity, self-control, truth
fulness and general services
To get obedience, however, does
not mean to ow-beat, nag and
brighten.
The breeding of fear is one of the
worst consequences of discipline
Threats. of punishment do not make
for either truthfulness or sincerity,
The child learns to lie ard hide
anything to avoid punishment; it
learns to fear.
On the other hand, the child can
not grow up without restraint, or
respect for his parents.
The task is one necessitating in
telligence and tact.
But it's worth any effect you can
make.

the discredit of those who threw reason to the
winds while they ranted on the floors OF Con
gress. Men who are not accustomed to give
way to panic or yield, to brainstorms IN their

highly of men who rave after the manner OF
Hefin, Caraway, ct al.
To quote further from the Times: we
could put up with an occasional fighty speech
by an irresponsible Senator; but steady drip
of inanity, querulousness and small minded
attempts to make party capital out OF ma
tional disgrace is hard to bear and is rapidly
breaking down patience with the Senate. Gen
uine hysteria would be almost a relief COM
pared with what it has caused us to suffer.
This Characterization of the Democratic
leaders in the Senate will not be forgotten
when they next up for election.

WOUNDS FROM "A FRIEND.

The New York Times .(Dem,) has taken a
hard fall out of the Democratic leaders of the
Senate. After remarking that those leaders
had resented the charge that they were afflict-
ed with hysteria, the Times says that 'Appar-
emily they expected the country to take their
wild and whirlingj words as conclusive proof
of sound intellect and becoming conduct,
and then it goes on to tell what the country
expects from members of what is supposed
to be the highest deliberatiye body in the
world. We continue the quotation: Instead
of this, what have we had? Unseemy wrang-
ling, partisan and personal recrimihation of the
lowest order, credulous Selling upon rumor and
suspicion as if they were verified certitudes,
and, in general, revelation Of unbalanced
Judgment and execrable Manners
That the leaders of the Democratic press are
thoroughly ashamed of the leaders of the
Democratic side Of the Senate, is perfectly OBJ
vious. The editors have the good sense to
see that although the Democratic leaders in
the Senate are getting some immediate advan-
age from the hystericaal mob spirit they are

THE EXPLOITATION OF THE OBVIOUS.

Never was there an age in which the obvious
was more audacously exploited than ours.
Newspapers are filed with cheap appeals for
assistance to the poor, the unfortunate and the
helpless But these appeals rarely better the
general condition of those whose misery is ex-
plotted.
Everybody knows that poverty exposes its
victims to hardship and humiliation. Every
body knows that misfortune is often undeserv-
ed But is is something like hollow mockery to
arouse sympathy for the poor or pity for the
unfortunate and yet take no practical step to
give the poor financial independence or the un-
fortunate real opportunity to achieve sue
cess in the battle of life.
Some writer's of our day denounce the veal
thy and try to persuade the ignorant that
wealth is always acquired by robbery. This,
of course, is not an obvious conclusion. But
the calousness of many. rich people is obvious
enough. Popularity may easily be gained by
calling all wealthy persons 'plutocrats." But
how can we call man 'plutocrat'' if, while
he happens to be rich, he sets far more value
upon culture or human welfare than upon
money? g@~
That curious agitator who has used the
drama as vehicle for propagating his social
istic opinions George Bernard Shaw, has at
GERS in the army and conventional religlonists
because they are easy marks for the arrows of
his wit and satire. With just as much facility
he has eulogized the feministic daughter who
has boycotted her immoral mother, and he has
now written play in which Jeanne dare,
that brave and simple young Catholic girl of
the Middle Ages, is made the advocate of ex-
IRENE individualism and forerunner of the
Reformation. Obviously the Maid of Orleans
had the courage of her faith, but she certainly
never dreamed of Luther's revolt against her
own church, and much less did she anticipate
the theories of George Bernard Shaw.
Another exploiter of the obvious is H. G..
Wells, who, in his singularly superficial "Out-
line of History ,beittles the Christian relig-
ion and represents kings as either tyrants or
contemplate weddings. That Christianity
has been only too frequently a convenient mask
for hypocrites cannot be denied. That many
kings have taken a disgraceful advantage of
their exalted position must also be freely adj
mitted. But why not frankly concede that
Christianity, when. accepted and really lived,
has promoted morality and flowered in saint
ly lives? Why rneanly throw veil over the
virtues of such monarchs as Edward the Con-
fessor, Alfred the Great and st. Louis?
What we need today is not the exploitation
of the obvious but the reVelation of the prec-
ious things which, owing to our haste and our
lack of reflection, have too long remained bur-
led in obscurity. ~

LEGACY.

A laundry wagon driver inherits
$4,000 in Trenton, N. J.. He announces
he'll keep on working. Which excites
amazement, but shouldn't.
The $4,000 at A per cent interest
would bring the driver $4,000 a year.
He couldn't do much with that, prices
so high. Time was when $4,000 was a
whale of fortune and the house of
the owner was pointed out with the
buggy whip to visitors being driven
around town Those days are gone.
Even millionaire doesn't excite much
interest now, they're so numerous. n.
