The Teuton capture of Riga and its fortress may
seem at first thought to be a demoralizing blow to the Rus
sians. But it may prove the reverse.
The Russians are an independence-loving people, lhe
audacity of the Germans in beginning to overrun Russia
may arouse the indignation of the Russian people. It it
succeds in doing that, it will create a national unity, and
that is just what Kerensky needs in the critical hour.
The Russians are not losing today because they are
incapable. They are giving ground because there is lack
of national pride. The revolution through which they
have been passing has been absorbing their attention, and
they have forgotten the wolves at the border.
Now that the hosts of militarism are rushing into
regions for generations free from the foot ol an invad
er, the Russians may have it brought home to them that
they shortly will be reduced to the servile position of other
conquered states now bound and gagged by Germany.
The iron heel of Prussianism now is suspended above
the Russian people. W ill they thrust it aside, or allow it
to come down upon them and hold them fast while the
yoke is put upon their neck. The thought that 180,000,000
people so imbued with Lite spirit of democracy as Russia,
will submit to this humiliation is unbelievable.
Surelv the Russians will awaken and soon hurl back
*
the invader and continue an unconquered people, preserv
ing the traditions of tht proud Slavic race and maintain
ing inviolate their pledge to democratic allies.
DO YOU KNOW YOUR SON?
Would any one say, offhand, that the natural com
panionship between an average father and his son has be
come so weak that a public movemnt is needed to re
store it to normal? Doubtless, many fathers will smile

at the suggestion, yet estrangement between lather and
son is perhaps more common than most folk imagine,
strange story, illustrating a strange condition, comes from
Kansas City. Last we&k was set apart as “father and;
Son Week.” Sixty of the churches and other organiza
tions joined in a campaign to correct the prevailing con
dition. Get-together dinners, specially devoted to lathers
ami sons were given in the churches, and on Sundax site
eial services were held for them.
It may be pertinent to inquire whether Alaska I at'ti
ers and sons, like their Kansas City brethren, have drifted
apart. Possibly a survey will disclose a like condition.
Father is too busy down town in the day time and too
tired when he comes home at night, to get acquainted with
his boy. The heart of every boy yearns for father love
and companionship. If he is sent off to bed because he(
is too much bother, a gull is established, and it must gioxx
wider unless a remedy is applied.
. i t* • i _^_ i
Everv normal father who retains oniv a iami mein
ory of his childhood is able to apply the remedy, or, still
better, he is able to prevent a condition such as has been
shown to exist in Kansas City. He ought to be his boy’s
chum, play with him and teli him stories when he is lit
tle, read with him and go on hikes with him when he is
older, be companion to him at all times and in all circum
stances. Later when the mysteries of life begin to un
fold and perplex the boy, he should leel that he could go
to his father, above all other men, lor light and advice.
| Every father ought to be able to give an affirmative reply
to the inquiry: “Do you know your boy?”—Ex. j
! The man who knows himself like a book must be
prettv well read.

You never can tell. The girl with a turned-up nose
may not be the easiest to kiss.
The one time a man gets more than he bargains for,
is when he is looking for trouble.
Look before you lea)). Many a man jumps at con
clusions who doesn’t see his own finish.
