has been sacrificing himself
and his administration out of a
mistaken sense of loyalty to
forces that helped elect him
They will appreciate it only as
long as they can use him. 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.

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.
