MY BOY, NEVER HURT A WOMAN
There is a new play on the boards
in which a doting maiden aunt is
heard to give her reckless, spend
thrift young nephew this advice:
"My boy, 1 understand and sympa
thize with your high spirits, and 1
want you to have a good time. You
are full of health and new found
strength. Maybe you are growing up
harder than most boys ? your bills
for breaks have been numerous and
large ? out I only love you the more
for your high spirit. There is only
one thing you might do that 1 could
not forgive ? to hurt a woman."
? ? ?
It Is the prayer of every mother,
though too few mothers take their
sons into their confidence as did Auu
Mary. Too many mothers tell theii
sons too late, or not at all. To the
sou who is honest such a prayer from
his mother's lips would never be for
gotten. would live in his concienee
and guide him and save womankind
from much of its deepest sorrow and
sharpest pain.
Such suggestion properly comes to
a son from his mother.
I* is false modesty which prevents
a mother from dealing frankly with
her children in the great life ques
tions. Unfortunate is the boy or
girl who has not heard from a
mother's lo\ing lips the truth con
cerning proper life conduct.
Men do not like to have it said,
but few will deny that in them the
animal would be paramount if not re
straim-d by woman's finer sense and
the conventionality that men have
themselves built up to curb thcmselvtd
and protect women from man's ruth
less self-gratification.
To our mothers we look for the
more refilling influences. The best
influences upon men are inherited
from their mother a:ul grandmothers.
Strength, intelligence and courage
may conie from father and grandfath
er ? these, too. are coming more now
than ever before from our advanced
mothers? but the gentle touch of a
loving hand, the sweet sentiment of
life, the deep-seated moral balance
and the love of family ? these come
come from our mothers.

The one great irrepairable, irret
rievable, unforgivable crime is the
common crime of hurting a trusting
woman. ? Seattle Star.
Some people think it the province
of a newspaper to take up every fac
tional row and to fight the battles
of the warring factions. They are
mistaken. A newspaper is just what
its name implies. Its chief reason
for being is to print 'he news. It
gives editorial comment upon the hap
peuings of the day. It Is likewise a
puveyor of legitimate advertising. It
should also guard the interests of the
people who patronize it. Farther
than this no newspaper is supposed
to go.
It is to be hoped, but scarcely ex
pected. that the House of Represent
atives will oust Uncle Joe Cannon and
get a new speaker who Is in touch
with the more progressive spirit of
the country. Cannon h~s too long
acted as "The Old .Man of the Sea."
upon our national politics.
The Latin-American temperament
demands trouble every so often. If
the rulers of the Central American
republics cannot supply their subjects
with a war every now and then *'iere
is apt to be a revolution. Of course
the powers that be prefer a foreign
war to a domestic rebellion.
If that Pullen house robbery had
taken place before instead of aftor
"That Box of Cigarettes," wo would
have Inclined to the belief that it was
a clever press agent stunt. We have
heard before of theatrical people los
ing Jewels.
Congress convenes today and for
the next three months our national
law making body can l>c relied upon
to do its full share towards contribut
ing to the gaiety of nations.
"When I was a child, 1 spake as a
child, 1 understood as a child. I
thought as a chlid: but uhen I lx
came a man, 1 put av/ay childish
things."
