If the author of the words could speak more broadly she might as well say ‘‘parents’” instead Parents are often culpably neglible in the responsi- bilities accruing to them by reason of parenthood. And too often the children of ill-assorted unions and ir- responsible parents are made to suf- ter the penalties which properly be- long to the parents.—Little Falls Transcript. —— Our Armageddon comrade, the Star, declares truthfully that radi- calism and reaction, progress and conservatism succeed each other in an ebb and flow as time goes on. To which we give assent. -And as we look up from the long, brown, slimy gressive leader in any party, and see Cannon and Smoot, Penrose Barnes and Tammany Hall and the solid south placidly riding the crest of the wave, we are prepared to ad- mit—nay, more, we are constrained to insist, as we view the pink up- What Everybody Can Do, { One thing that makes business v siow “to recover after a shock like panic or a war is that everybody gets scared and clutches his money as though he were in a crowd and some- hody had yelled’ “Look out fof pick- pockets!” s Cautiop and ¢onservatism are wise at such a time—are wise at all times, for the mtatter of that. But there is such a thing as stupil conservatism that is nothing else but stagnation. Suppose there was a fire in your house. Suppose the house was surrounded by five hundred men, each with ‘a bucket of water. If the five hundred got to work with their buckets, they could put out the fire in a minute. But suppose everybody in crowd got afraid of a drouth. And suppose everybody sat down and hugged his bucket of water as though it was the last bucket of wa- ter on earth. The fire would get headway, and | your house would burn down. N Something very like that happens always after a shock like that of{ panic or war. | Business gets bad right away, be- cause everybody gets timid. Even after the worst has passed, | and there is no longer reason for alarm, the scare continues, and many | people still sit down hugging their buckets of money as though theyf were the last buckets of money on‘ earth. If they would just let loose, aml. start buying and building and doing | business at the old stand, the trouhle would be over in a minute. In case of the fire, some leader‘ would presemly say, “Come on, boys,” | and would empty his bucket of \water\ on the blaze. The rest would fol-; low suit, and pretty soon the fire} would be out. | That leader would make himself | thus a good deal of a hero in your’ sight. In the case of business depression | following a shock, wise leaders de-! velop, too. ; They see that capital lying idlei is of no more value than water going ' stale in idle buckets at a fire. They see that prices are low, that it is a | good time to buy, so they begin buy- ing. Presently others follow suit. The money spent gives employment to labor; employed labor spends its wages. Prices risé because of great-l er demand and a better circulation of money. The money thus spent going into industry, business pres- ently hums. = Then everybody is buy- ing and selling and doing business. Behold, times are good, and pros- perity abounds. In this country—and in this city —we are in the middle of this pro- cess. And the process is well under way and gaining momentum every minute. Good times and abundant pros- perity are just ahead. Already you can see the gleam and feel the glow of them. The time for hanging back and hugging your useless pail of money is over. Better put it at work while it will still do more good than it will a little later when everybody is in | the game.—Duluth Herald. the I E RS R R R R R R B R E R S * EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS * KX XXX XK XK K KD President Vincent of the university, after reviewing the needs of the un- fortunate at home and abroad, uldf that every one ‘“‘should give until it { Jad Salts from any pharmac; | water before breakfast for a few turned toes of our friends blistering in the sun that she was sure some ebb'—Emporia, Kansas, Gazette.

In this way $440.000 was netted for anti-tuberculo- sis work in various parts of the United States. The sale in 1913 is a gain of 4.000.- 000 seals over 1912, or 10 per cent. "It is hoped that this year the 50,000,000 mark will be reached. The seal design for 1914 has been selected, and orders for the printing of 100,000,000 seals have been placed. New York state led the country last year with a sale of over 10,500,000 seals or one for each man, woman and child in the state. Of this number more than 6.825.000 were sold out- side of New York city. Pennsylvania came nest with a sale of 3,125.000. Ohio was tkird with 2,800.000, Wiscon- sin fourth with 2.700.000. and Illinois fifth with 2,500.000. Hawaii sold the most seals per capita, the total sale being somewhat over two for each in- habitant. Rhode Island came second with a sale of two per person.
