t of lite I'miKjua river at Ueeds- I

rales Scholfieid, a member of
the party that came to the
I'mpuua river in 1H50 in the
schooner Samuel Huberts, and
founded Liu pq.ua City. Ha
was the son of Nathan Schol
field in Norwich, Conn. Na
than Scholfieid was one of the
leaders of the party and It Is
not clear why the. stream was
named for the son rather than
the father. Possibly some In
cident of the exploration con
nected the name of the young
man with the stream. For
the schooner, the form Wil
liam Huberts is sometimes
uxed. Contemporaneous news
paper accounts, marine rec
oida and George Davidson nf
the U. S. Coast Survey all use
the form Samuel Roberts, and
it may be attnumed that this
style is correct.

WORLD OF SPORTS
(Continued from page 1)
American family life is rapidly decaying because the
traditional bonds that used to hold it together are giving
way indcr the changed conditions of modern life. This is
according to Dr. W. F. Ogburn of the University of Chi
cago. In the old days, says Dr. Ogburn, families were held
together by seven ties affection, economics, religion, pro
tection, recreation, education and family status. "There re
mains of these original ties now only the tie of affection
which really binds," he says. "The other six, while not en
tirely gone, are nearly so and it is only that first one which
holds most families together now." This statement of th?
case, somehow, fails to prove as terrifying as Dr. Ogburn
seems to find it. To say that families are held together by
nothing but affection is like complaining that only the fact
that they fall in love impels young people to get marrie.l.
There may be only one element involved; yet it is strong
enough and inclusive enough to make up for the lack of the
others. In surveying the changes which modern time haa
brought we are apt to color bygone scenes with too rosy
tints. It is quite possible to admit that families held to
gether more firmly a century ago than now without admit
ting that that condition was better than the present one. In
the vast majority of cases it is to bo doubted whether any
very worth-while end is gained if any bond other than the
bond of affection holds people together,
think of a family whose members all desire freedom and
yearn to go their separate ways, held cooed together in one
house by the requirements of bread and butter. Wives
forced to cling to drunken husbands because they knew they
would starve if they left them ; young men compelled to stay
at home and drudge because a barren farm required their
presence as laborers; mistreated, underfed children held in
a homo that was misery for them because nowhere else in
all the world could they find anyone else to feed and clothe
them; daughters, unclaimed by suitors, living through years
of home drudgery because economic and social conditions
did not permit unattended girls to go out and make their , iHSliphuf '" l"e
own livings surely, these aren t pretty pictures. Yet the "I haii never forget that siicht

in good working order, were full of them. If the tie of af
fection is the only one that holds families together nowa
days, mankind is really advancing. After all, there isn't
any other very good reason for family solidarity. Instead
of bewailing the passing of the old conditions we ought to
rejoice. The story of human progress is, in largo part, the
story of the development of individual freedom. Dr. Og
burn's analysis would indicate that wo have made a gootl
deal of progress.

Dcr.pito the prevalent talk about graft and bribery,
there are still plenty of honest, conscientious men in our law
enforcement departments. In New York the other day a
patrolman came upon two men unloading a mysterious
looking truck into the cellar of an apartment house. Suspi
cious, ho went over to investigate. Oi1e of the men came for
ward and offered him $1,000 a good deal more than the
patrolman's entire yearly salary to "take a walk around
the corner for five minutes." This policeman refused to do
it although it could have been done without any fear of de
tection, and although the bribe offered was immense. In
stead Jie went ahead with his investigation,' found the truck
loaded with whisky, and arrested the men involved. It's
comforting to read of such things, in this day when corrup
tion is utmost taken for granted. All of us owe a little debt

THE EVOLUTION OF A PROPHET
A mnrl once dwelt upon the emth
Whose vision pierced beyond his age;
He gnve high thoughts a royal birth.
And placed them on the printed page.
The people read and were amazed;
Some said, "This man deserves to diet"
And others said, "His brain is crazed."
He smiled, with eyes upon the sky.
Men grew more tolerant and said,
"This man is radical, extreme."
Dut still his works were often read
By those inclined to, think and dream.
He smiled and held his earnest way;
Men said, "A qtiaint, eccentric soul."
He saw the path as clear as day.
And pressed straight onward to the goat.
Men liked him now, and often said,
"There's something good in what he writes!"
They give more thought to where he led,
And some would even dare hit flights.
He spoke his truth with flashing eyes.
And told again the faith he held.
His course lay now 'neath mellow skies.
And many men his cause upheld.
At Inst the world was all awake;
They built a temple to his name;
They asked all men his way to take ;
They spread abroad his growing fame.
They asked. "What can we do for you?
Our gratitude we'd have you see."
"You now have caught the vision true,"
He answered. "That's enough for me."

it couldn't. 'Twas a strong giip
Clowny had.
And then the fairy shouted,

"You bet! I'll try for all I'm

''Then we'll punish him and teach
him to behave." Hut, just before
they reached the ground the bird
jerked quickly all around, and got
away. The Tiniea saw it fly into
a cave.
