The average parent is quick to re- sent what may seem io be undue au- thority by a ool teacher over a chiid; quick to maintain that the school has no right to usurp the func tions of the home. But, on ti hand, too many parer leave for the schoc pre what they hold it shali not do, her ciaim to be the exclusive province of the home. In other words, parents of essygoing dispositions nez- lect their duties in training their chil- dren and leave them to he performed by the teacher. if they are performed at all. Such neglect, of course, throws burdens upon the teacher which she ought not to bear, and which moral ani cfvil laws never intended she should hear. Tt is wrong to the child, for in time it will come to understand the gituation and take advantage of it. The old adage of “spare the rod and spoil the child” is not so popular today as it used to be, because moral | suasion seems to have the upper hand just now as the proper system of child culture. But, nevertheless, the old idea cannot safely be entirely neglected, and here again arises a gross injus- tice where parents are too lenient or indifferent and leave their work to be done by the teachers.—Omaha bee.

T.—Gossip of the hotel corridors and the talk of the street has it today and tonight that the campaign betting odds' in these last pre-election hours were fluctuat- ing between 3 to 1 on Dix and 3 1-2 to'l on Dix. The republicans charge, however, that the betting is largely fictitious, and that the prices are quot- ed for “wash” bets only, in which no money changes hands, put out oniy to influence the vote. The Stiffest Wager Offered. It was reported tonight - that the stiffest campaign wager offered thus far was refused just after the close of the stock exchange for the day, when one broker bet $20,000 to $6,000 on Dix and found no Stimson takers. These are odds of 3 1-3 to 1, but it is said that longer odds of 3 1-2 to 1 were accepted earlier fn the day. A bet of $6,000 to $5,000 that Dix would have a plurality in the state of 50,000 or more was reported. Stimson Men Wanted 4 to 1. A considerable amount of Stimson money from Buffalo appeared late to- day, but the askers wanted 4 to 1 and found no takers. A pecullar feature of the speculative record this year has been that whereas in general the odds tend to tighten at the last moment, this time they have lengthened—in current report, at least.

New York, Nov. 7.—Strong pressure to end the express strike which has so seriously hampered busin was brought to bear late today og§the six trans-continental express ‘colipanies invilved by the Merchants' association of New Yorlk. Protesting that the po- sition of the companies is unreason- able and prevents a settlement, the association in a letter demands that they recede from this attitude.
