We are no longer the self-reliant, capable, efficient, inde pendent, God-fearing people whom Washington led to vic tory. Whether the change is due to the growing luxury of a pampered pleasure-seeking civilization and consequent decay, or to the attempt to absorb the riff-raff of the world in the national melting pot, all must admit the change.

Character cannot be manufactured by law or strengthened by the removal of temptation. Yet we are endeavoring to do both. In coddling, safeguarding and protecting we are destroying resistant powers and perpetuating the unfit. Parents are shuffling off their duties on the state, as welfare workers relieve them of their responsibilities and the home is breaking down. Instead of solving their own problems, people are looking to the government for their solution, and expecting the state to make good personal deficiencies. Initiative is being destroyed, resourcefulness atrophied, and stamina sapped.

At the pres ent time the jail Is in fearfully bud condition, dark, unsanitary, dirty and poorly ventilated, and has been condemned by practically even grand jury for the past ten years. All the light that reaches the cage where the prisoners are kept, comes from three small, heavily barfed windows, about eight feet from the floor, and from one old style car bon light hung outside of the civ There filters into ne main cell enough light to enable one to dis tinguish large objects and that; is all. To write a letter or read in the cell is impossible without a severe eyestrain.

It's bad enough to hate to I listen to your six brothers when I they're half a mile away." Mr. Coyote took no offence at that remark. "Very well!" he reulled. "No doubt they'll want to sing if they came here to help you. And certainly their singing would inter fere with your digging for of course you'd want to stop and listen to It." Benny Badger's only comment sounded somewhat like "Humph!'" Hut Mr. Coyote must have thought that Benny agreed with him. At least, he nodded his head. And he went on to say that he mrnM be glad In help Benny alone, with i out calling on his brothers. Benny Badger made no further objection. To he sure, having one of the Coyote family with him every night would be bad enough. But it was so much better than having seven of them that he be gan to feel almost pleased. Per haps be was lucky, after all! And besides, he thought that when Mr. Coyote came to help him catch Ground Squirrels that good-for nothing scamp would soon tire of digging. m-v six h' e m "'"en 'o have that I'd Aug -mile iSi?!
