THE CHILD'S ENEMIES
All investigations should begi:
with sue" be tor the benefit of 1 he
child The population of the United
Stales today would be fifteen or
twenty millions more had it not Ik en
for the neglect of the parents and
the municipal governments. Mure
than fifteen or twenty millions of
children have been born in the United
State- id the past fifteen or twenty
years, who have died beca. ;e of
criminal, domestic, and municipal
neglect.
We belong to the brass-hand posses
ion In works of superficial ity. We
are excessive talkers, hut are rather
meagre in labors of worth-while in
vestigation. We hate the drudgery of patient,
toiling investigating for the protec
tion of our children. We have crim
inally neglected the child prior to
birth and immediately following his
entrance into the world.
W- are perfectly willing for Con
gress to vote millions of dollars to
fight diseases now destroying out hogs,
slurp, caltlc, and horses, but we have
spent one hundred years preventing
Congress from voting an appropria
tion (0 stamp cut the diseases destroy
ing our children
We are perfectly willing for Con
gress 10 pass an appropriation from
which we can get financial henefn hrl
we cry economy if t'ongrctt irtm 10

the murderers of our children
We are Mowing trumpets and con
gratulating ourselves about the mag
nificent work we are doing along lines
of sanitation, but we are doing prac
tically nothing to eradicate the grrat
venereal diseases that art affecting
and staining ninety-two per cent uf
the population of the United States.
There is a continuous stream from
the cesspools of society flowing
through the yards and municipal gov
ernments of this country poisoni "ir

Before we used antitoxins in diph

Now, with the use of antitoxins only
one out of ten die.
People who fight vaccination and
other methods by which children are
made immune to disease are the en

curses of society, and they ought to

farm.
The farmer has not always made
the farm attract. ve to his son. You
can't keep I boy at home if you give
him a pine knot lire by which to
read when the world otters him
electric lights, a library, and a read
nig lamp. The farmer must bring
the pleasures, amusements, books,
magazines, and attractive things
into his home and upon his own
farm if he expects to keep his box
and make a great agriculturist out
of him.
The parcel post, the rural mail de
livery, the automobile, the paved
highway, and other conveniences,
are for the purpose of enabling the
farmer to bring the atti actions of
the world into his own little country
home, into his own desolated farm
house, and to hi own fireside, if
he will seize the opportunity, fill ins
table with magazines, papers, and
good books, bring in the music bo.
and the wireless radio and thus
make his home attractive, bright,
cheerful magnetic, and fascinating,
he will keep his boys and girls
around him.
This is the day of the farm If I he
I farmer will only realize it. This is
the hour when the farm ought to iie
, the most attractive spot in the coun
try; this is the moment when the
farmhouse ought to ring w ith music,
I an d the barnyard ought to be the
convention hall of agricultural and
political activity. The farmei should
make his son the leader, in that coi -1
ventiou and teach him how to mould
: public opinion and direct legisla

Let the farmer Icani how to be
generous ami kind to Ins children
and to keep them in the atmos

and prosperity. I
