Have you looked Into the “Raffles” stories which are so popular St this time? When read by those of mature character these stories fre merely fascinating. When road by your boy they may be dan- Berous, “Raffies” is a gentlemanly acting thief. He ts an athlete, i well @ducated, a careful dresser and lives in great luxury on the proceeds of hia crime. He ts no common swaggering ruffian, He has every Quality that appeals to boy nature. He is brave, cool in danger, fer- tile In resource and has the graces and manners of a Chesterfield. ‘The Engiish writer who created “Raffles” has invested him with great charm. He makes thievery attractive. He gilds vice. That fe dad. It ie not only immoral to dress immorality in the guise of de- @ency. It ty dangerous. If your boy reads this stuff, which has so great a vogue that ft fe being featured by a leading magazine, who knows what effect it {may have upon his future? You can guess. You know human nature and its failings better than he does. ‘You know the effect of disguised poison. You know that stirring life te the young has a glamour and glitter that is lost upon you. You Know how alluring may be the call to the forbidden. It ts therefore Pour duty to protect your bey. It i rather alarming When the magazine on your center table features such a vicious invitation to crime ag “How to Hold Up « Train” and presents “Raffles” as a paragon of bravery and tact If “Raffies” ts in reach of your bey, call up the second-hand ‘Book man and bundie it up with other Mterary trash, or better— Durn it. To Avert the Strike ‘Two of the greatest forces in the United States are lining up for a deadly contest, for a test of power, for supremacy. Tt is a kind of contest with which the country is all too familiar, Many times have such contests brought idleness, disorder, rioting, death and devastation upon vast communities and half-paralyzed the Dusiness interests of the entire land. The last great coal strike ts gti! a horror ia the minds of millions. ‘The leaders of the miners in the east declare they are ready for another strike. The mine operators retort that they are ready for anything that may come. The fight spirit ts growing intense ‘on both sides. Soon, unless some outside influence intervenes, the Ration will ones more see a part of its domain turned into battle amps, hear the moans of the hungry and the cries of the wound- e4 and dying and feel a fearful shock to the commerce of the con- tnent. And must the nation stand quietly aside, with folded hands, and tolerate it? Has not the public a right to peace? Are the coal miners and the coal operators the only business @lements in ae country which have rights to assert, and is paralysis of their own business and derangement of business in general the only methods of asserting them? After the last great coal strike had been waged for many dark months, after the militia had long been in the field, and after the sky bad been lit with flame and the h dyed with blood, after all the Rameless disaster and demoralization entailed, President Roosevelt @emanded and secured arbitration, just agreement and peace. Must the nation again be sickened by another horrible spectacle of starvation and bloodshed before asserting its right to peace and order? Is not the old lesson still fresh enough {n mind? All the sad experience in strikes has taught only that the one remedy sure and just is arbitration. Why delay {ts application until the contending forces have worn themselves out and exhausted public patience? The time to kill a snake is not after it has sunk its fangs into your flesh, but when it first appears in sight. The same power by which President Roosevelt demanded arbi- tration after months of rioting and disorder enables him again to de- mand it before a shot or a tool laid down. The rights and interests of 30,000,000 of people require that the difference of the miners and operators be settled in peace.
