After he has lost caste with the pub lic through association with the nngsters those gentlemen will drop him quickly. The governor's motives may be good but his judgment is miserable. From the stand point of his own safety he needs an Olcott on the state board. Yet he is striving to oust him and fill the office with a man who will be more ser vile to the old guard than Ol cott has been. If he should succeed the governor himseli will be the chief sufferer. THE WAR A MINOR FACTOR There are certain obvious condi tions In which the American parent should be willing for hla children to secure and endure hardships. The first is the school. The American youth studies the least in his school years of the youth of any civilised nation. He ought to increase the number of essary. In their campaign against the Villa bands our troopers have botdly marched 400 miles south of the Rio Grande. Wherever they have found the enemy they have hit and hit hard. Villa's power is broken and the goal now is the I his hours of work by a large percent capture of the leader himself, j Yet some of our tory papers try to assert nothing has beer accomplished. They give our soldiers no credit for their hard, courageous campaigning in a tropical country. They give the administration no One distinguished schoolmaster ask ed another recently this question: "Does the American schoolboy study as hard as the English schoolboy?" The answer was: "No; but he ought to study at least half as hard" Only one-half of the days of the whole year are school days, and In these school days for most bora the credit for the vigor with which j work is not difficult it acted when Columbus was raided. The tories dislike our tactics in Mexico because they want a conquest of that country. They would like to see this nation send 500,000 men into Mexico and bring that republic under heel, making it good picking for speculators and carpet baggers. Their dream for Mex ico is a putty government, guaranteed and upheld In United States soldiers, yet pli able in the hands of the Gug genheims, the Potter Palmers and others having concessions acquired in questionable man ner from Diaz and Huerta. They want the United States to turn its back on its own his toric principles of justice and sell the nation's soul for th enrichment of certain financi ers. The criticism of our action in Mexico is complimentary to President Wilson when the full facts are considered. We are The number of the daya themselves ought to be increased and the number of hours in each day devoted to study should receive a similar increase. A second field In which the youth should be obliged by his parent to work harder is found in business. The middle-aged nnd old men work hard, perhaps too hard The younger men ought to work with an enthu siasm and seriousness somewhat akin to that of their elders The sons of rich men in particular, should, beginning ln their third dec ade, devote themselves with energy and patience to their Jobs. Parents should oblige their boys to work hard in the first year of busi ness and equally hard throughout the school life which leads up to business. THIS MA Y ENTERTAIN THE POErilY tw FISHING.

THE GOVERNOR'S POOR STRATEGY gjk OVERNOR WITHYCOM- BE is mistaken when he thinks it would be better for the governor's office to have a regulation old guard secretary of state in preference to Ben W. Olcott who is a high- ent activity. The showing is highly opti mistic because the fact that three fourths our new business is due to home conditions, not to the war, indicates the pros perity will continue even after hostilities in Europe nave ceased.
