No child should be the tyrant of the household, and much is gained when little children learn to fall into the routine of a well-ordered home. A time to go to bed, a time to rise, a time for meals, for work, for play, and a time for cleaning up. The more this seems to the chikt like a part of the very nature of things, the more smoothly life will run for everybody, the leas occasion there will be for a clash of wills, and the better kind of conscience the child will carry thru the rest of bis life. But obedience to the mere whim of teachers, parents or older chil- dren is not a thing to be valued highly It makes for de#spotiom. The ultimate problem of life is the problem of living fully, getting a victim to her inexorable laws. One must obey the laws of nature and if he is to live with others he must respect the conventions of society. But outside of an army—perhapa even in it—the leas people think of giving and taking orders, the better chance they have of work. ing together; and the parent who insists on obedience for its own make does less for his child than the one who shows and cultivates a spirit of sympathy and mutual understanding. The Brakes Are Off American railroads rapidly are getting into good running order. They have made wonderful gains since Uncle Sam turned rails and cafs back to their owners. Out of the fearfully costly congestion has come order. The roar of railway chaos bas given place to the hum of industry. The brakes are off, and American railroads are responding These ribbons of steel again are rushing, throbbing arteries of trade. For which the nation may give credit to private initiative. “Increases in railway operating efficiency have been effected so mp- idly within recent weeks, says the Railway Age, “that the railways probably are now moving more freight than they ever moved before at this time of the year.” During the first week of August, 70,077 more cars were moved than during the same week of 1919. The movement of freight cars during that first August week exceeded the first week of June by 20 per cent” Up to August 24, the roads moved 52,000,000 tons more of coal than were handled in the same time last year. September came in to find the roads dumping more than 4,000 cars of coal at Lake Erie ports every day, enough coal to guarantee the Northwest its winter fuel supply. Since the government quit railroading the car mileage has been in- creased from 23 to 26 miles, and now the private owners have set the goal at 20 miles. Each mile added is equivalent to putting into opera- tion 90,000 new cars Yen, the removal of government operation has had the same effect along with people, and getting the most out of nature, instead of falling | Jas taking off the brakes, Railroad | taster, and to better purpose. the bite in arbiter.

It tropical is self-evi- dent from the report of inspection by the medical officer of this ship of the Hilo jail that the place in |which Fullington was confined did not stink with filth as stated in The Star, but on the contrary was healthy and clean, In fact, from what I have learned, Fullington lived while in the Hilo jail as though he were living in @ hotel I saw Fullington in the court tion that his place of abode in the Hilo jail did him no harm, contrary to the accusations in The Star, had a clean bed with clean linen, With reference to the resignation room at Hilo about one-half hour after he was released from the Jail and he looked fat, healthy and| scrupulously clean, another indica- mentioned did not resign until I re- stricted them to the ship for inter- fering with the “disciplinary action of the commanding officer’ in that they were hirthg lawyers to try and get Fullington out of jail, Fur- thermore, those cadets that_came back to the ship «tated that™ they were sorry for what they had done and realized that they made a mis take, and stated further that they wished to continue and complete the school course.
