ME X I C O The republic to the south of us has a constitution. It likewise ha-? laws governing the rights and duties r f its citizens; and likewise punishing those who violate them. The Constitution prohibits any and all public religious processions. In the face of this and a distinct warning from the g vera- ment, an arch-bishop of the Romcn Catholic Church deliberately proceed­ ed to hold a religious procession. As punishment for his defiance t the con­ stituted authorities, this arch-bishop wag promptly requested to remove himself from Mexican soil. The late President Harding Invited the rever­ end to come to the United States. The laws of Mexico provide that only native priests may officiate in the churches of that country, and thl* law- is about to be enforced. Mexico, like France, proposes to separate the church fr >m the state. It also proposes that its children shall be educated in secular subjects in public schools, so that its citizens may compete in the business world with those of other nations. These laws are being opposed by the clerics of the Roman Catholic Church. News reports in the Metro­ politan dailies even indicate that the government Intercedes to prosecute those responsible for the proposed b)iycott intended to embarass the gov­ ernment. It is unfortunate for any nation to become embroiled In any controversy with any religious organi­ zation M we particularly is this true if that organization would Interfere with the functions of government. If the organization concerns Itself with mat­ ters pertaining to right living, the sav­ ing cf souls; and to denouneng hypo­ crisy and disobedience to the laws of God ,and the nation, it will have no time to concern Itself with matters of state, otherwise it will be time tor a new revolution in Mexico. Public operation of power and other utilities, as proposed in the Oregon initiative for a constitutional amend­ ment that would create a new politi­ cal machine to handle, control and operate a vast system of public works, Involves large pay-rolls and little pro­ gress. In other words, patronage dis­ tributed prevents efficiency in opera­ tion. Pay-rolls are padded with as many employes as can be retained un­ der public ownership. Under private control the number is kept down and competitive zeal for shortcuts and savings rewarded. Economic experience does not sup­ port public utility control and opera­ tion. Yet there exists in the group mind a predilection for government operation, despite the steady trend to­ ward private enterprises. Carried to its natural sequence, the idea would include grocery stores, furniture fac­ tories, even bakeries, dairies, cleans­ ing works and wood-saws. There is always the claim that they would be free from taxes, like churches. Ac­ cordingly the public is constantly Leaving a note declaring "Easy fooled. Logically all Is well with these schemes, but we are learning that the credit Is our worst enemy," a man up logical and practical are poles apart.! In Washington took enough dynamite The hydro-electric .irrigation, power in his car to blow himself to kingdom and myriad-purpose proposal being ad­ cmne, went out on the highway and vocated by the housewives has many did that very thing. Rather a heroic charms and appeals to attract the way to get away from debt. A better theoretical mind, but the hard-headed way, and It saves the use of dangerous farmer sees only taxes, bond Issues explosives, is to pay as you go and and political manipulation ahead, with shun the credit system. recourse to the state funds when short­ age arises; also he knows that lower rates are not assured, but Increased charges sure to follow any bungling administration. Who., shall say that there is any probability that five in­ experienced citizens, without previous training, can hope to put across the enormous enterprises contemplated., Involving scores of millions of public funds? It scarcely seems compatible with modern business practice. Dis­ guised as a public benefit, It may hold enormous financial problems for the commonwealth. R U N A W A Y BOYS. W e often hear or read of some boy who has run away from home, while frantic and anxious mothers and fathers bend every effort to find and bring them back to the family doml clle. The occasion for this clandestine exodus of the budding youth Is usually a whipping or some other form of punishment equally as humiliating meted out by the parents which arouses in the child a sense that he has been mistreated, and therefore his spirit has been aroused to a stage of resentment, and he resolves to go out Into the world where he may enjoy his conception of personal freedom There are very few of us who have arrived at the age of maturity who did not feel the same urge at some time in our adolescent days. Therefore we must feel a sort of sympathy for the youngster who early takes the bit in his mouth and breaks away from par­ ental authority. No great harm results from these oc­ casional escapades of the boy other than to cause mental anguish beneath the roof which he leaves behind him. Usually a few days and nights spent with an unsympathising world, an empty stomach and an Inborn love of home, forgetful of the punishments, sends him bark again none the worse for his brief spell of Insurgency, n vs have always been boys, and safe to say they always will be, and we could wish them to be nothing else. It takes a boy of spirit and go-get-'em qualities to strike out Into the world hy him­ self. and we could look upon him with more admiration than we could the boy who would dumbly stand for beatings from brutal and unfeeling parents, and while It may be an Infraction of old fashioned Ideas that he must meekly submit and take punishment without resenting It, still parents might learn a lesson from him. Physi­ cal punishment of the young Is a by­ gone rneth si of correction and gaining of their respect and obedience It can’t be done that way. and parents who have not learned that and the better way had best be careful of how- many children they bring Into the world. Pr »per treatment of the child from the beginning, teaching the dif­ ference between right and wrong, truthfulness, and practicing all the vir­ tues themselve« in their daily pres ence of their offspring, will do more than all the beatings that may be ad­ ministered by all the switches that grow in the woods. And when this is d'Wie the boys, and the girls, too, which come to bless the family union | will have a greater and deeper affec­ tion for It. and leave nothing one need worry about. The old maxim. "Spare the rod and spoil the child," should be torn out of the book.
