The Public Paws
DR.. Roy Smith

A boy bandit was captured few weeks
ago in Ohio and put on trial for series
of particularly vicious and brutal crimes.
By the time he was safely behind bars it
had cost the state small fortune. The
headlines of the newspapers announced,
"BOY BANDIT PAYS"
But the boy paid nothing. The public
paid, and his parents incurred the bill for
the evidence showed that the father and.
mother had been divorced when the lad
was about three years of age and he had
grown up in half dozen homes and insti-
tutions.
The public has a vital interest in every
divorce, not from an ethical or moral stand
point, but from an economical cause.
Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver, says that
the broken homes furnish several hundred
per cent more than their just share of
juvenile offenders. The records of every
statement
William G. Shepherd, magazine writer,
recently declared after tour of more than
a score of pententiaries, that the broken
home furnished four out Of five of the des-
perate young criminals of the last 10
years.
Social workers are agreed that 'there is
no place like home" for child. 1t is bet
ter to grow up in a small house with home
atmosphere and father and mother living
together than to dwell in luxury in an insti-
tuition or live easily in palatial orphan
age.
When husband and wife threaten to
break up home because of a personal diff
ference it Immediately becomes a matter
of public concern for the prospects of a
Jail career for their children are immediate
ly increased about 800 per cent.
In such a case a wife had better be will
ing to submit to an injustice than to work
one upon a defenseless child. If the hus-
band feels that he is not getting his
rights" he had better be content in order
to improve the chances that the child shall
get his rights.
Whatever the churches say about the
sanctity of marriage or the sex theorists
assert concerning the marriage relation,
the fact remains that the public pays when
the parents of child are divorced.
Ask the judge, he knows.

A New York physician states that quick

her own ideas about getting overland maybe
she had eye to avoiding future fines.

There are two sides on almost any public

Redwood Falls has some bright kids. One
of them wandered into the Gazette office the
other day. and in spite of his brightness proceed
ed to make more less of nuisance of him.
self Rather discourteously one of the staff said
"Now you scoot out of here" Quite frankly the
lad looked up and asked, "How can 1 when
amt got scooter?"
When young man comes home from college
to spend Sunday and asks his family, very cas-
ually, how he'd 's1ook with mustache," that
family just naturally begins to look for break
ers ahead. Incidentally its members wonder if
they will care to appear in home society with
the lad the next time he shows up, or if they
will sort of avoid taking him to church or to the
hotel for dinner. This mustache epidemic seems
to be making terrible Roadway in some of the
colleges
The postoffice at Frazee sent out twenty
eight hundred and forty dollars in money orders
in a single week, these money orders, all repre-
senting good hard cash, going to mail order
houses for merchandise. Frazee isn't very big
town numbers go but it apparently does a
thriving business-for the mail order house. The
editor of the Frazee Press suggests to the nom
advertising merchants of his village that they
try and laugh that off"

eff democracy fails in America, it fails in
the whole world. The safety of democracy lies
in the character Of its citizens as well as in
their trained intelligence and their willingness
to accept responsibility. If intellectually can
be touched with emotion, if there be sympath-
etc understanding tinctured with idealism,< if
there be rational consideration of the problems
which relate ii human betterment, if there be a
keen sense of moral obligation actuated by an
impelling desire to think and to act in terms
of public interest and public good, rather than in
terms of personal interests and private gain,
then liberty will reign with law; greed, passion,
and prejudice viii give way to generosity, good
will and altruism. But, you say, this is dream;
it is Utopian; it cannot be realized. Perhaps
not fully, but without it there is no moral basis
of citizenship, and Christianity is mockery."-
Lotus D. Cofman, President University of Min
nesota.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18TH, 1926.

SOME DAY
Some day we meant to travel far,
Before the glow of noontide failed;
But yonder shines the evening star,
And, yet-we have not sailed.
We loitered idly on the quay,
Watching the tides that ebb and flow;
We saw the boats set forth to sea-;
And yet-we did not go.
Magic of many tales was brought
By travellers and the travelling wind
New worlds of deed, new worlds of thought
And yet-we stayed behind.
And still the dream, and still the call;
The boats recede with parting hail;
Shadows of coming nighttime fall;
And yet-we do not sail.

Copyright. 1895. Registered L. 5. Patent Office.

~ HE British museum has just acquired most re-
markable ancient statuette, the only of its
kind in existence, made at least 1900 years ago.
This is picture of it. showing Socrates the great Greek
philosopher, he walked about Athens. He doesn't
compare in beauty with young Alcibiades, of his
friends with Valentino of day; but he had quail
ties lacking in Alcibiades and Valentino.
In Greek philosophy three stand out
Socrates Plato Aristotle. Socrates taught Plato. Plato
taught Aristotle, and the three have TAUGHT THE
WORLD. Socrates the simplest, most democratic,
man of great courage physical and mental.
Plato beautiful writer, interesting thinker.
His Republic is the greatest of all political maginngs
Aristotle the great scientist with such vast learning
such mental power, that contemplation makes
SILVER. He taught Alexander the Great. If he could
have instilled in him his wisdom, Alexander
wouldn't have died so young
Return to this old Socrates interesting to every
woman boy and girl Did this philosophical gentleman
possess moral courage, mental concentration? Yes he
did, indeed; and he possessed great physical courage
also.

told by Alcbades the handsome aristocratic drunken
young Athenian He tells how Socrates stood in one

To pour oil on the troubled waters,
is, according TO a very old figure Of
speech. 10 coothe a troubled spirit,
or to bring peace in any other way.
The oil. spreading over the face OF
the waters, actually serves to still
them, we are told by good authorities.
Commodore Wilkes. q famous com

saw the effect Of stilling the waters
produced during a violent storm off
the Cape Of Good Hope, Africa, BY
oil that leaked from a whaling
vessel.
The phrase is very old. The fact
Of the effect Of oil on the water is
mentioned in a book written as long
ago as the seventh century by the
famous Bede. The story goes that
Saint Adam gave a cruise of oil to a
young priest about TO 20 on sea
voyage, and told him 70 pour it on
the waters If they became turbulent
A storm did arise, and the young
man, pouring oil on the waters, did
actually reduce them to a calm. Bede
says that be had the story from "a

Value of Biography
By DR.. FRANK CRANE

The mos profitable kind Of read
ing in the world for young people is
biography.
The life story Of great man helps
the reader TO understand himself.
Your own life is so close to you
that little details assume undue i'm
portance. Looking at your own life
is often like looking down at the road
at your feet TO see the characterictics
Of the region you are inhabiting.
Seeing another mans life unfold be-
fore you in small compass il like
looking at a map Of the region.
The really important stands out.
As the scale Of miles increases the
insignificant disappears.
The sweeping glance OF another life
helps you see more clearly what is
important and what is unimportant,
what is essential and what is non-es-
genital in your own life.
Biography is the food of ambition.
The struggles and victories Of actual
men stir US TO activity in a way
that the exploits Of fictitious charac-
tiers cannot do.
Biography aids US to see life more
clearly.
Life which seems immensely com.
pick as We live 1t from day to day
becomes remarkably simple as we view
IL from the clarifying perspective Of
biography. The twisting by-paths
blend into a given direction. The
fugue sinks into its essential melody.
Because Of its democratic spirit,
its opportunity for achievement, its
yastness Of enterprise, and the ideal
ism Of It's people, few countries
