One of the most Interesting. of.tB t'
stories of the late administration Is
the story of the book and the big stick
or—
A lale of muck raking aud big stick
ing.
Upton Siuclalr, a novelist of the so
cialistic type, wrote n liook called “The
Jungle.”
The book told some horrid things
about the practices of .he Chicago
packing houses. Its nauseating revela
tions made many of Its readers—tem
porarily, at least—practleers of the
vegetarian regime.
The Chicago packers had an easy an
swer to Sinclair's book—“It Is not
true!"
Then President Roosevelt got hold of
the book aud read It. You can fauey-to
yourself what he thought about It. He
said out loud, “Either It Is a pack of
lies from beginning fo eud or It Is
true.” The president thought there
was no truth in the charges, hut was
very willing to investigate.
He sent experts to Chicago.
When these Inspectors looked. Into
the shambles of South Chicago they
discovered that Upton Sinclair had
told the truth ubout the filthy methods
of the packers and the grave menace
to the public health.
Out came the big stick.
Roosevelt notified the ftlends of the
packers In the senate that unless con
gress should pass a good meat Inspec
tion hill lnstnnter he would tell the
whole grewsome story of the revolting
conditions 111 the big butcher shops of
Paeklugtown.
Here was cause for grief.
The packers did not wnnt the truth
made public. It would give both do
mestic and foreign trade a big black
eye. The cattlemen didn’t want the
story mnde public. And the president
assured both these Interests that he'
did no want to harm them, but—
The president said to them, .“Get
busy.”
The effect was magical. They got
busy.
The senate ON THE SAME DAY
THE PRESIDENT GAVE OUT HIS
ULTIMATUM attached the meat In
spection bill as an amendment to the
agricultural appropriation, and It went
through without a dissenting vote.
And the lower house was scarcely
less prompt.
That is the story of the book and
the big stick, a story that will go down
In American annals along with Old
Hickory’s message to Calhoun.
Upton Sinclair, a writer wfth convic
tions and a purpose, combined with
Theodore Roosevelt, a president with
n will of his own, demonstrated that—
Beneath the rule of men entirely
great the muck rake and the big stick
are mightier than the sword.
THE OBSTINATE BOY. ,(
If your boy Is a determined young
chap who wants bis own way,’ Con
gratulate yourself.
Obstinacy Is a great asset iu the yap-
ltal stock of manhood.
It Is a force, to be sure, that nCeds
proper aim and direction, hut It holds
a large place In the makeup of the
mental powers. It has to do largely
with success or failure.
The boy that Is hard to manage Is
the boy with the stuff In him—the
stuff that stays.
The power of a horse is tremen
dous, hut It needs to be curbed and
directed. Properly harnessed and
guided, the liorse Is powerful.
So of tlie boy. He also needs curb
ing and harnessing.
Do not think your boy Is a bad boy
because he wauts Ills own way. Those
who auiouut to anything always want
I heir own way—and get It.
The way to manage a boy Who has
a will of his own Is to manage him
through his resson and Ills affections,
not by force.
Do not try to “break bis will.”
He will need nil Ills surplus will
power Inter on. When you break bis
will you break Ills manhood. Even
should yon succeed 111 coercing him
you cannot be sure that he Is “con
quered." He may lie deceiving you.
And such deception on his part hurts
the boy’s character.
Oh. It is no easy work, this undertak
ing to manage a high strung, forceful,
high spirited l>oy!
But It Is worth while.
Mothers usually succeed better In
such matters than fathers.
The father may chastise and brow
beat the boy. He may get the prom
ise of obedience or sullen acquiescence,
which will have no lasting effect.
B u t-
If the mother knows!
She can appeal to the best tlmt Is In
her son—Ills affection for her and his
manliness. It is the only effective way
to control a human spirit
Utilize the hoy’s obstinacy. It will
make a man of him.
The world Is just beginning to ap
preciate the effective force of the hu
man will. It is the will power that
does things. And If the will power Is
to do things It must hare Its way. It
may l i e guided and directed, but co
erced- NEVER!

Got the Wrong Jensen.
We noticed .an article in Tues
day’s Leader which tells about a
Saginaw runaway last Sunday af
ternoon. The I.eader has it that
it was Mr. and Mrs. Jensen, man
ager of the B. K. Co’s store of
Saginaw. Now, in the first place,
the said Mr. Jensen doesn’t own a
horse and buggy, nor a wife either
that anyone around here knows of.
It happens that there are two Mr.
Jensen’s at this place. The one
that had the runaway is Mr. Nel
son Jensen, platiermau for the B.
K. Co. at Saginaw, and his part
ner on this occasion was Henry
Fisher. The rest of the story as
chronicled in the Leader was
