The Baby Uplift
This age of uplift has brought a new vocation for old
maids and bachelor women through the establishment of the
"children's bureau" of the department of labor of the federal
government, and many thousands of taxpayers' money is
Bjxmt by them in instructing the married how to raise babies
and in otherwise minding other people's business which is
always the principal occupation of welfare workers.
The bureau is in charge of Miss Julia Lathrop assisted by
a long list of women each bearing the prefix "Miss" who
acknowledge authorship of many pamphlets printed and
d: tributed at government expense, upon "Maternity Care
iui'1 Welfare of Children," and similar subjects, containing
silly equations to figure out the proper proportion of money
the family should budget for food, clothing, etc., for papa,
mama and the kids, as well as the menus of calories that
should be provided.
The following mottos are suggested by the Bureau for a
proposed baby parade: "Give Us Pure Milk;" "Give Us
Fresh Air;" "We Need Love;" "We Want Clean Homes;"
"Down With Tatent Medicines;" "Don't Kiss Me. You May
Have Germs." "Give Us Fathers Who Think." All of which
leads the Corvallis Gazette-Times to remark :
O gofdi! Bunkus est pluribus nausoarum! Are the old maidB who
run this bureau going to Ret new dads for these kids? And the public
pays for that kind of, stuff. Now they are trying to add to this bureau
a maternity department that will cot the government millions of
dollars and the individual states millions more.
People are getting very tired of these professional forward
leakers and their profusion of propaganda proclaiming them
selves saviors of the world when all they seek is place and
power. As a matter of fact nothing can hasten the disin
tcgration of the home and parental incompetence faster than
the paternalism that relieves individual responsibility, the
foundation stone of the successful homo, and rests it in the
government.

A Romantic Serial of Modern Life
By I DA II McGLONE GIBSON
A MOTHER'S UOYK
'So this Is the man," Lille may
Kaid to herself with a keen glance
at the handsome young chap who
clasped her hand warmly. There
was open admiration in his eyes,
which she relumed with a look of
slumbering hate.
Harold Kennedy met Lillemay'e
look of dislike with one of dUarm
Injr admiration but there was a
quizzical smile on his lips which
told tlte girl that he understood
thoroughly. That smile said to her
"J am ready to compromise or to
fight, but you miut accept me
some wh era along the line."
"Isn't she beautiful. Harold?"
asked Mrs. Vail. "I told you there
was not a girl In all Hollywood as
lovely as my Lillle May.
Lillemay shrank a little as ho
heard her mother pronounce her
name. Not since she had been
abroad had she heard the harsh
American pronunciation that sep
arated her Lillemay into two
names with tho Unsllsh sound of
the double !.'
"What is the matter, darling? Is
someone walking over your
grave?"
Lll'cmay smiled. It was the first
time she had heard the old super
stition voiced since she had left
America.
'I am afraid, LUaa, it will take
Miss Vnil a long time to get used
lo English as we speak it on the
western coast," Harold Kennedy
said softly.
"Llsea." thought Liilemay. Sc i
her mother too had changed and,
softened her name.
There cair.o to her memory tho
maudlin voice of her father as lie
answored the tirades that her
Mother had poured out upon his
luekle.Ks head.
"Now Mclitif,, don't be hard on'
me. I'm not well, MelUsy. Indeed
I'm not," he had pleaded.
She wondered It her mother
ever contrasted the "Meli.-y" of
the old days with the ' Unsa"
which Harold Kennedy called her.
One meant hard work, so nil du ens,
unhappineos and poverty, the oth
er Joy and peace, beauty, wealth
and love.
She looked at her mother specu
latively and tried to find out just
how the name Lis&a affected her
when spoken in the well-bred tone
of the h..nd.Home young man who
tucked hsr under his ami as
though ho owned her.
She waa Jiwt In time to cilch on
Mrs. ail's face a look of radiant
h:ippinpj and pride. "You see,
Lillie May. I too have changed my
nam?. I don't know how you pro
nounce yours yet as I have seen it
only signed to your letters. Harold
any a you doubtlctw call It Xeel

"Y.j, df.ir, my French teachers
named mo that an.: wrote It Lille

' I don't blame you for adopting
It Miss Vail." interposed Harold
Kennedy. "It Is very beautiful."
"Mips Vall 'how do you got that
way,' Harold? You know you
have always called her Liilemay to
me. Did I pronounce your name
r'ght, daughter?"
Liilemay bowed her head.
'Then she is to be Lillemay to
you and you are to be Harold to
her in the future. You like that
better, don't you, dear?"
'I will be Just what you want
me to bo to anyone you wish, dour
mother."
Mrs. Vail beamed but Harold
Kennedy sensed tne daughter's an

Democratic Future
Franklin D. Roosevelt has proposed a conference of
democratic leaders to formulate a policy to govern the party.
iirnorinir personalities for nrinciplcs. Only those issues
which the whole party in every section of the nation agrees
upon as fundamental" are to be considered as vital in re
building the party from the ruins of its last two defeats.
In theory the Democrats ought to get back to Jefferson,
w'.'h his ideal of the best government as that which governs
least. They should repudiate paternalism, with its accom
panying bureaucracy, denounce special privilege with its
r igram of enrichment of the many at the expense of the
few, advocate restoration of state, local and personal rights
guaranteed in the constitution and the overthrow of
federalism. Upon such a platform the Democrats would at
least stand for an ideal that would in the long run become
victorious.
The demoralization of Democracy began with the leader
ship of Bryan, who was a paternalistic populist and not a
fundamental Democrat. Expediency replaced principle in the
pursuit of power and it has met deserved defeat, because it
abandoned the cause which it was founded to preserve.
Parly principles and platforms arc however, the result of
compromise of contending forces. The irreconcilable clash
b 'tween western paternalists and the eastern democrat; with
their bitter personalities and sectional feuds will probably
result in another muddled mix-up that will insure future
defeat. That is why the Democrat gets his emblem of
the donkey.
Republicanism Purified
In recognizing the secession of the followers of LaFollette
from the Republican party, and ousting them from party I
councils and demoting them in committee assignments, the!
Republican organization has followed the logical and con-
ti tent course and the insurgents should be the last to com-
plan at the consequences of their own folly. The party hasl
no-v been purified of its last vestige of progressivism.
At the same time, the republican organization is deeply
indebted to LaFollette and his followers, for their bolt split
the Coolidge opposition and demoralized the democrats and I
made republican success a cinch. So LaFollette is entitled to
r dwlinguished service medal for his services in the last
campaign instead of the double-cross.
LaFollette has always been to much enamoured of himself
to accept party dictation or discipline. If he could not rule
he preferred ruin and after many years of persistent effort,
has accomplished it.
