 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Should we substitute another puppy for the good old family friend that dies? Should we hurry to buy another pair of skates at once for the pair that were stolen from the porchp With the thousand and one things that happen to beloved pets and belongings of children, is it wise to replace quickly, so that small feelings will be spared and the knives of sorrow be dulled?
 In some cases, yes, where emotion is involved deeply, as when Roger found Skippy dead on the street. Or If the loss represents some sacrifice the child has made in the first place in order to own his prize. Otherwise, there Is sad little les son that most children will have to learn as life unfolds, the fact that disappointment must be faced and bravely borne.
 Substitution May Be Impossible
 There is no real substitute for the pet that dies. To a child it is human and his affections are as greatly involved at times as if he had lost 8 brother. Maybe more so. In this case, the comfort of a nev dog, as soon as possible, does not lie in forgetting or in sub stitute, for this is impossible, but in the aroused interest over the new possession. A good and whole some thing.
 We'll say that Harry has waited for months for his skates. He lived on promises in the meantime, and the conSummation of his hopes was more than joy; when the skates arrived he loved them with passion. They represented more than just shoes with runners attached. They meant more than merely skimming acstatically over smooth ice. There were nights of lying awake plan ming, days of doing without mov- ies, and being very helpful and good in order to earn them, morally. The loss of these skates is greater that if they had been given to Harry without sacrifice on his part.
 It is true that children do at tach emotional desires to things, in spite of the fact that the lan- guage books make a point of ex- blaming that you can Hove" only people and that "ike" applies to things.
 Must Learn to Take Losses
 Many objects of the child's daily association become dear through wear and familiarity. I am not sold much on the dangers of fixa- tions toward a beloved toy. Per- haps some few children may trans fer the comfort fixation" from be- longings to people, but such cases are few and far between.
 So we must use our judgment and replace such things as we are able to replace, and deny these second editions just enough to teach the child some little lessons in deprivation. We cannot expect him to go through his career without meeting up with many heartaches and losses, and he must be immun- ized against too constant expectancy so that he will learn to take his Waterloos in his stride. But there are many times when it is wiser not to allow him to suffer too much or too long.
 When he loses things through carelessness, then this teaches its own lesson, but even so children all will be little careless at times. There is nothing .ained by making such catastrophies too much of a lesson. Replace some things. Do not replace others.

The Political Mill
McNutts Backers Ready to Begin Drive in Earnest
for 1910 Nomination.

Clark OF Missouri Is "too conservative"
and that he does not equal McNutt as
= speaker. Secretary Henry A. WAL
lace Of the Department OF Agriculture
is out Of the picture because the farm
ers have his number; Jim" Farley,
the Postmaster General, is alright,
but he happens to be a Catholic and
as such might meet the fate of AL
Smith in 1928. and Senator Barkley
of Kentucky does not measure up and,
furthermore, demonstrated his personal
weakness when he found it necessary
to get President Roosevelt to 20 into
Kentucky to help him win renomina-
ton for the Senate against Gov.
Happy" Chandler. All this the Hoo
sier Democrats say, and they add that
ultra-New Dealers like Harry Hopkins
and Robert H. Jackson are "out"
because they could never get the
nomination at the hands of the next
Democratic national convention.
When certain coldness on the part
Of the White House and on the part
also of National Chairman Farley to
Mr.. McNutt is called to their attention,
the Indiana Democratic friends of
Mr.. McNutt say they are by no means
convinced that President Roosevelt
would not accept McNutt as the party
nominee. As for Mr.. Farley, they
point out that he is practical" man.
Money Backs McNutt.
The Indiana Democrats are well
heeled. A goodly sum has been placed
in Mr. McNutt's hope chest" via the
route of the 1.-TWO Per Cent Club" an
institution that collects 2 per cent
monthly of salaries of Democratic
State employees. That they have
money was well demonstrated when
last winter they staged a mammoth
reception for McNutt at a Washing
ton hotel-when he returned to this
country temporarily to make a report
to the President. The affair cost
thousands upon thousands of dollars
with a collation. and a bar that have
rarely been equaled Some fun was
poked at McNutt and his party, but
the McNutt leaders think it was a
mighty good thing to get the country
thinking about their hero and 1910.
No one is quite sure just when Nc
Mutt will return to this country. He
is expected, however, in December or
early in the new year. 1t is under
stood he is waiting to hear from Presi-
dent Roosevelt as to when he may
leave his present post.
One advantage Mr.. McNutt has
over some of his rivals for the Demo-
cratic nomination: He has not been
compelled to take position on the
court bill, the reorganization bill and
number of the other less popular
measures put forward by the. Roosevelt
administration. Democrats who might
shy away from 100 per cent Roose-
welt man could take McNutt.
Anyway, the Mintons. the Town
sends and the McHales say that Nc
Mutt is the logical" man for 1910.

Security Act. study redistribution of

Mr.. Harrison, besides being a star
witness for labor, makes himself
heard realistically wherever he goes,
He is only 43 years old, with 81 years
OF hard work behind him and a con.
structive future ahead.
Born in Lois, Mo, young Harrison's
life was bounded by railroading since

ton nights, was married at II. The
first time he ever entered college

pounded by Mr. Harrison, ran along

In the first category Mr.. Harrison
feels that buses and other modes Of

should be modernized: too infreuuent
