never hear the shouting and the cheering
with a band playing “When Johnny
Comes Marching Home Again.”
It was fine, not because the spectacle
of men marching away to kill or be
killed, is fine, but because the great ma
jority of them THOUGHT they were re
sponding to a first service and the great

A court of nations might exist today
into which Mr. Carranza could he haled
and made to account for the fact that
bandit reign has gone on in his country
unchecked.
This court of nations is a world-patri
otic suggestion and the most patriotic
suggestion ever advanced, because it
calls upon the highest sense and the
loftiest spirit of the world.
A court of nations is all that is need
ed, with the exception of a world police
force to enforce the orders of the court
against irresponsible nations such as
Mexico, to wipe out war or the possibil
ity of war at any time.
Could the suggestion have been accept

It was in May. 1910. that Bob
Follette astonished a group of us
.it his Wisconsin home hr saying
the return of Roosevelt from Africa
would be a great peril to the in
surgent movement, that the best
thing for it would be for Roosevelt
openly to oppose it. that if Roose
velt associated himself with it. eith
er openly or covertly, he would rule
it or ruin it —and that If he rules
it he would surely ruin it.

there believed in what l.a Folletre
said. The question now is: Was
I.a Follette a prophet in Mar,

The children of our country now
are everywhere at play- When the
skies are clear they will be romping
outdoor*, gaining in strength for
the struggles of adult life. But
there will be many days when they
must amuse themselves indciors.
Is is then that they will be mo-t
interested In reading and hearing
stories. Seize the opportunity to
introduce them to some of the
world s best literature, and cultivate
their imaginative faculty by telling
them stories of fanciful charm.
Be careful, however, not to Ic*
them read or hear any s«ory that
will ejrite their Imagination in an
unhealthy way.
Many parent* are negligent In
this Important respect, simply be
cause they do not appreciate that
it I, of any tmpnrtaiirw.
Actually if is of such importance
that the hearing of morbid tales
may have a lifelong unfavorable es
feet, not only on the character, but
also on the heal’h of children
It is a definitely established fact
that abnormal timidity has been de
veloped in many a man and woman
through the ]as*!ng influence of
tales of the supernatural, of ghosts
goblins, wtxards. and witches, told
to that man or woman In childhood
Al«o it la definitely established
»hat many cases of nervous and
mental disea«e originate in the same
way.
A child hears stories that frighten
him, and. If he 1* ultrasensitive,
there often result singular symp
toms of disease, ranging from obse«
slve fears to hysterical symptom*
of a physical sort.
Sometimes the effect does not be
come fully evident until adult life
!• reached Then, perhaps follow
ing an Illness or a period of over
work, there appear nervous symp
toms which at bottom are nothing
more than the external manifesta
tion of morbid thoughts and dreads
Implanted in ‘he mind by tales
heard In early life.
Even the seemingly harmless
fairy tale may In this way he pro
ductive of great harm Many fairy
tales contain elements of hate, re
vencc. treachery, and bloodshed,
whßh make a painful impression
on the childish Imagination.

CHILDREN’S STORIES.
Roosevelt returned June is. 191'>
He refused to identify hint-elf with
the progressive R ;>!iblv an move
ment. He declared that in l'.:s judg
ment Taft could no’ b • aten. and
it would be folly to try it
Roosevelt himodf was for Taft
He controlled ab-oln. y the Re
publican state conven’inn of 1910
at Saratoga, and hid adopted a plat
form lauding Taf’ ar. i the Taft id
ministration to the skies, and nom
inated Stimson for governor.
The colonel and ’he colonel's noni
inee were licked limp in N> w York
in that election It marked the
lowest declination of the colonel's
star since he had been in public
life.
After that election the word be
gan coming to the Mg insurgents
by the political grapevine telegraj h
lines that Roosevelt was goring
“You will find not infrequently
that the precipitating factor* in
psychoses come from the books of
fairy tales which your children arc
allowed to feed uj»on.“
Or. instead af being responsible
for cowardly traits and for the start
ing of some nervous trouble, talc*
I of morbidity may give ri*e to an
I equally undesirable selfishness, hard-
S ne*s, and even cruelty of disposi
| finn.
I know of one case in which an
! acknowledged fondness for inhuman
! acts was directly traced by psycho
logical analysis to fhp hearing of
rhiidhnod stories in which such
conduct was a dominant feature.
And thi» case is typical of many
that wirhin recent years have been
made the subject of scientific in
vesTTgaflon
Choose your child’s fairy tales
carefully, therefore. Choose all hi*
reading carefully.
Don t Inflict on him dull stories.
But *er to jt that the Imaginative
tales he reads and hears shall be
free t'r, m morbid suggestions.
Your future happiness as well as
h-f Pire welfare may depend on

TUESDAY. JUNE 27. 1916
There is nothing essentially impure
about the sex feeling. There is nothing
necessarily wrong or inconsistent with
the finer thing’s of life, even a high de
velopment of spirituality.
On the contrary, the most beautiful,
the most refining, the most conserving
and wholesome elements of a man's or
woman's experience are due directly and
indirectly to this natural instinct. •
That so much trouble and evil come
to people through the sex drive is due to
the fact that it is that emotion which
most influences character.
It seems to be the law for human
creatures that every privilege is attend
ed by its danger, and the higher the
one the lower the depths of possibility
in the other.
Peril is the twin sister of potency. The
loftier the peak the more fearful the
fall.
Hence it is that of all perverts the
box pervert is the most incurable, the
most wretched in his own penalty, and
the most septic toward society.
The one baneful delusion that obsesses
most minds is that, the perils of sex be
ing so dreadful, the best safety is in ig
norance. But ignorance is a poor sub
stitute for virtue. In fact, the founda
tion of all virtue is intelligence, if it is to
stand one in good stead in time of trial.
Every I>oy and girl, therefore, has a
right to N* fully informed as to the
meaning of the universal instincts with
in them, of the results of the sum of
human experience in dealing with them,
of their physiology and psychology, and
particularly of their relation to the
social and spiritual life.
Not to equip a young person with this
information is to do him or her a griev
ous wrong. It is to send them out as
sheep among wolves.
Properly understood and duly subju
gated to the law of temperance, supreme
in heaven and earth, the sex feeling does
more, perhaps, to minister to the plcas
urablencss of human existence than any
other emotion.
It is the core of romance, the glow that
makes adolescence radiant, the open
secret of all lovers, tin* basis of the ten
der joys of family life, ushering in the
children with all their delightful and dia
ciplining influence; and when with the
years it passes it need leave no bitter
ashes of hame behind, but may be part
of those r« collections of hallowed intima
cies that are warmly human and in no
way brutish.
When shall we get over the long error
of medievalism, that “all desire of the
flesh hath in it somewhat of evil"? Who
taught the creed makers that, anyhow?
For surely the voice from heaven to
the ajKistlc Peter has significance:
“What (iod hath cleansed, call thou not
common.”
And the old anchorite in the Sinaitic
mountain, seeking eternal life by deny
ing and mutilating his humanity, con
fessed his defeat when he wrote upon
the rock of his cave:
“I am a man, and nothing human ia
alien to me.”
Says Olive Schreiner: “Always in our
dreams wo picture the love of the sexes
as once a dull, slow, creeping worm; then
a torpi !, earthly rhrysali.-; at last the
full-winged insect, glorious in the sun
shine of the future.”
Be holy, if you will, but be human.
Thus Edward Dowden.

I walk amonp the living, not ihe dead;

In a letter to Robert fJrimshaw of the New
York university. William Muldoon, who ranks
as one of the foremost remakers of phvalcally
broken down men. gives advice that It would
be well for every man and woman, boy and girl
In America to take to heart. He saya:
"I was taught In early manhood not to throw
my shoulders back, stick my chest out, draw
m y stomach In, or hold my chin down like a
goat preparing to butt, hut to always try and
touch some imaginary thing with the crown of
my head. If one tries to do that - first under
stands how to try and then tries he doesn’t
have lo pay anv attention to the rest of his
physical being, thal effort to touch something
above him, not with his forehead, hut with the
crown of his head, will keep every particle of
his body In the position that Nature Intended It
should be. And as a boy I was advised to fre
quently back up against the wall and make the
hack of my head, my shoulders, hips, heels, all
press against the wall at ihe same time; and
in that way get an idea of what was straight, or.
In other words, how crooked I was becoming by
drooping.”
Both to young and old Mr. Muldoon’s "hold
your head up" *ugg''*tion inspiriting. Try it.
The effect physically and mentally la immediate.
When the head goes higher the impulse Is to
deeper breathing. A man finds more elasticity
in his limbs. ll** steps out with more ease.
There is more .• pring to hi* gait. He Isn’t a lum
la-ting, shambling creature, but a man alive.
Wllh the elevation of the crown of the head
there *«•« rns to come clearer thinking, a more
buoyant feeling And a brighter outlook.—Com
