Hope is the light that lures men on;
duty the divine necessity which makes
them men,
Without high sense Of duty. man
is not civilized, though he boast ever
so much of his physical strength ana
mental requirements.
Ones belief in the stern necessity OF
duties Is the mark of how civilized a
being he is.
The savage performs certain duties
because he Is afraid, but the civilized
man does his duty at all times simply
because Of an inner compulsion.
1t Is his duty!
Thus duties are seen to belong to a
man. in proportion to his distance from
the crude compulsions which stir the
aborigine.
Let 1t be admitted that compulsion is
at the heart of all duty, still the true
duties have necessity of a different
sort.
These duties. since they come from
the mans own mind and heart and are
intertwined with the very roots of his
being, are his own personal property
Although many of them are inn
posed upon him from without. the COM
pclling power itself is simply doing its
duty in imposing duties on him.
He stands behind and approves.
X ~
The duty to obey the law because 1t
is the law ne feels to his marrow With
him 1t is not SO much question of
whether he approves of the law as
whether 1t be the law.
Only a law which flouts his honor
will draw from him the disrespect of
diSobedience.
II had rather live wild in the woods
than in civilized community which
has no law" said Napoleon Bonaparte,
shrewd observer of men and things.
This fearless man knew the dangers
of urban lawlesSneSs sitting side by side
with statutes and made no pretenSe to
blink them. but went on courageously
to revamp the laws of the land into
what became known as the Code
Napoleon.
Respect for law as law. as a COM
pulsion having ones theoretical sane
ton, If not actual appreciation. comes
with proper childhood tAining.
Such respect can be secured in no
other way; ''lawleSs" thinking in youth,
crude mental effort. based on immature
likes and dislikes only. is responsible
for much Of the miSdirected energy
which takes to criminal pursuits.
There would seem little doubt that
the So-called crooked" temperament
gets its start and direction in youth.
sometimes in very early boyhood; that
is why early training is paramount.
Perhaps too many persons overlook
this very plain fact. They fail TO realize
that a criminal deed is, In essence, and
before anything else. deed
The essence of a deed is the oppor-
tunity for success or failure. When
the aviators fly across the seas the big
lure is the chance of success, or failure,
which lies in the venture.
They hope for success, but in the
back Of their minds they realize that
there also is an opportunity for mis-
hap. Doubt of the issue is the in
triguing factor.
When small boy goes forth in the
dusk to steal some flowers from a
neighbor's garden. the big thing that
leads him on Is exactly the same. He
hopes for success. but he realizes that
maybe the owner will catch him at il.

Proper Punishment

Gossip is human failing and seldom
gets the punishment it deserves. There
is one man, however, of the plymouth
type who probably has spread his las,
poisonous story through his neighbor-
hood. In court in Camden, N. j.. on a
charge made by a nineteen -year-old
girl that he had told acquaintance that
she had been seen kissing a man in the
parlor of her home. this gossipy person
was given ninety days in jail by the
judge.
1t seems shame that more of these
pests are not dealt with In the same
manner. They blast regulations, hurt
others needlessly and are an unwhole-
some influence on a community. In
many cases the gossip which they
spread is untrue, or distortion of facts.
Ninety days in jail would be a Just
punishment for all OF these busy
bodies.

II he gets away with it." If he Is sue
cessful in his initial attempt at thievery
he has for reward exactly the same
thrill as warns the mind of the success
ful person in any endeavor.
1t Is because this is true that early
training. especially in nipping in the
bud the first manifestations of crooked
ways of thought is of such vital impor-
tance 1t is the duty which parent
owes his child, which the teacher owes
the child, which society owes the child
~ X x
Duty to ones country has been ex-
tolled beyond the power of any one to
add anything to it; there remain the
lesser walks of life in the discussion OF
which one may hope to bring out few
of the lesser glories of doing ones duty
There are a hundred chances every
day in the life of every person to do his
duty. and the essential nature OF duty is
not changed in the least because there
is a certain necessity implied in the
doing.
Duty is so tied up with the ordinary
compulsion Of everyday life that there
is no hope of discovering them; for
practical purposes the necessity may be
ignored and attention paid only to the
duty itself
Parents have duties to children. wide
ly recognized; children have duties to
parents. not so we'll known today as In
days past Sometimes one may believe
that The rights of parents are sadly dis
regarded, when he contemplates the up
set homes in which small children are
allowed to be complete rulers, although
they have not arrived at even an ap-
DrOaCh to wears of discretion.
Surely a man who is earning living
has right to expect certain amount
of tidiness and quiet in his home, yet
every one Is acquainted with at least
one family in which nothing but hula
baloo reigns from am. to 9 pm. In
despair the parents let the children run
the streets, just to get them out of the
house; the old man runs his automo-
bile hours overtime in order to enjoy a
few moments of the relaxation which
he never gets at home, but which it is
the duty of his children. rightly consid-
cred. to give to him.

Duty has its pleasant aspects. One
should not get the feeling that duty is
thing of severity and solemnity alone
Those who do their duty in whatever
sphere they are cast and under how
ever unpleasant circumstances have
something which no one else has ex-
cept the man or woman who likewise
has done what duty demands.
Duties are not self-made.
No one by taking thought can decide
whether so-and-so is his duty or
whether thus -and-thus is not his duty.
Duties Of mankind are among it's
oldest heritages.
So~histication of mind and habits do
not alter the nature of duties. They
are imposed as the result OF the solidi-
fed thinking of centuries; time alone
can change them.
Rash is he who attempts to take upon
himself the thankless task of deciding
for himself what is and what is not a
duty and whether or not mankind has
not been mistaken in the past in re-
9arding such an action as duty
He will discover that duties are among
the unwritten laws. all the more binding

be thus on hand to check resistance to
this necessary action.
The Commissioners can designate
special officers in cases of emergency
but it appears that these powers cam
not be granted to officials of the Health
Department without additional COM
pensation. This is fine hair-splitting
which should be corrected as promptly
as possible, 1t is certainly preposterous
that an official of the District govern
ment cannot discharge his duties with
out meeting resistance that he is power
less to suppress, or surely punish.
