Fear A Menace to Children
By Bertha Mason
It is surprising how many children
leave their homes to enter a larger
social sphere with fear instilled into
their thoughts. If all mothers could
realize that fear is a most menacing
disease surely fewer children would
enter the kindergarten with trembling.
Most kindergarten or primary teach
ers have at some time felt the paag of
seeing aN child show fear. Frequently
a teaoher wonders why she does not
win the whole-hearted, loving re
sponse which most children so readily
.give to the efforts of a sympathetic
'friend. No child can give his best
attention when there is present a
dread of what might happen if he
makes a mistake. Be' that sensation
o er us.

THE PROGRESSIVE SPIRIT
She seemed quite proud that her boy
would "obey" not s,eeming to consider
that submission is not always discipline-'
To the teacher it was pitiful.
The child's effort to see resulted in an
inevitable nervous strain. Through
fear of consequences if he answered
questions incorrectly he was no doubt
silent at times when he could have re:
sponded. And he probably made other
mistakes through nervousness.
It is not only teachers who must
contend with consequences of euch a
course. A few days ago I- saw a child
who was ill scream and pull the covers
over her head as soon as the physician
neared the bed. "If you don't hush the
doctor will grab your tongue," said
the mother. Of course the child's fear
was only increased. Naturally it was
impossible to accurately diagnose her
case as she had worked herself into a
serious nervous state. ,
Later the same physician remarked
to me, "Why won't people teach
children that we want to help, not
hurt them?" He then cited many in
stances where adults had threatened
children with "the doctor" if they
didn't obey. For obvious reasons such
a course is very unfair to the physi
cians and the children who gain such
harmful conceptions.
Every child -should learn that un

NOTIC OF BOND SALE
THE CONVICTION OF HECKER
The jurors spent but little time in clebating the guilt
of Russell Hecker, murderer. It was apparent and con
clusive, and so they found. To read that the defendant
bowed his head in his hands when he heard it, and seemed
dazed by the grim finality of one word, is to reflect that
.his meditation must have been unpleasant to an extreme.
The horror "that sands one's throat" was upon him. But
of pity for Hecker, of sorrow at his plight, there can in
reason be none. He reaps as he sowed.
A preposterous defense, denied any element of the
betrav him as ne of those dapper young materialists who
hold in scorn every convention and who live, as the saying
has it. bv their wits. Their lives are more subnormal than
abnormal, and their development ceases early, owing to
the shameful insufficiency of their aims and their fixed
belief that trash in morals and habit is worth the price
of self-respect.
The legal conflict which waged about Hecker's life
would not have been complete without its touch of maudlin
sentiment. " There are always those whose ill-considered
uitv. whose ready, anxjeus sniffles, await but such a
drama t find vent. Traces of this maudlinism even found
a way into print, and rang the changes quite fetchingly
upon the youth ot the deienaant, tne styie 01 nis nair, nis
surpnsinglyihoughtlul manner in court, and the altogeth
er extraordinary predicament in which he found himself.
Hecker's nersonaiitv was not the issue at any time the
issue was murder And in the light of his crime the per
plausible, had fallen. Tares were the seed he chose for the
field of life, and such is his harvest. He was a youth who j sonality that sentiment sought to bestow upon him was
sought to iorce the world to keep him m ease at a mini- clearly lictitious,
mum of exertion, and who chose a criminal craft. To be
come a bootlegger does not necessarily mean that one will
in time take a human life, but it does mean that such dis
respect for law and authority, moral as well as legal, is
prone to engender far more flagrant and sinful violations
than those of its inception. A bootlegger who has slain his
"pal", much as one wolf turns on another, cannot hope to
bring clean hands or clean heart to trial. '
Hecker did not. Bit by bit the evidence against him
proved that he had planned with deliberation the murder
of Frank Bowker. The borrowed revolver, the empty hop
sck, the possession of the dead man's money, point both to
premeditation and motive. These two 'on an unlawful
mission, each with suspicion of the other, each armed to
kill, and both holding the law in light regard, provided
such a situation as murder thrives upon.. So damning and
complete was the evidence, despite the absence of witness
es of the act itself, that Hecker's plea of self-defense was
stripped of all its distortion and thrust aside by the men
who judged him. He might well drop his head in his hands.
He was a man undone by his own viciousness and his own
folly.
It were entirely possible, and even permissible, to read
a homily upon this crime and its criminal. But it is wholly
unnecessary. The youths who correspond to Hecker, out
side of prison, would not listen; others might find it but a
tedious bit of moralizing. It suffices that we consider
Hecker as a type, and his plight as one that is not uncom
mon to his kind. There was sufficient evidence at the
trial, apart from that relating specifically to the crime, to
But sentiment did not save the defendant, for which
society wholly without hard-heartedness may be thankful
He is convicted of his crime, and one cannot but surmise
that if there were more convictions there would be fewer
murders. After all, there is no lesson quite so convincing
as an objct lesson. Morning Oregonian.
GOOD ADVICE
Judge Campbell's admonition to the young man con
demned to die "Get right-with God during the few weeks
left here on earth", is of first importance to every boy and
girl, man or woman under every circumstance in life.
With the Creator as the guardian and director o
men's footsteps there would be no such tragedies as re
cited in the Clackamas County courtroom last week.

A TEST OF GOVERNMENT
In a formal resolution the United Spates Labor Board
declared upon the walk-out of the six railway crafts on
Friday last, that they had forfeited their rights as railway
employes before the board and invited the new shopmen
taking the place of the strikers to form new union organi
zations to represent them in disputes before the board.
The same invitation was extended to those employes re
maining in the service.
The board made the statement also that men remain
ing in their positions should not be considered as "strike
breakers," that they were within their rights and have
both the legal and moral right to assist in avoiding inter
ruption of necessary railway transportation.
This attitude and action of the governments agency
representing both the public and the workers in the trans
portation system makes of the situation a governmental
matter. It is not a blow struck at the labor unions.
The strike is not the employe against the employer as
a protest against inadequate pay or unfair working condi
tions. The members of the Board have investigated wage
conditions, costs of living and hours and conditions of
work and hay? decided that in ordei;to hasten reconstruc
tion and to strike a fair balance in industry and commerce
the wages of the railway crafts now out of proportion to
the compensation of other wake earners, must -be re-

time and place for the hearing of ob
