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

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.

A most unusual case for damages
has been won by a Nebraska mar
from the railroad company. He was
bitten by a snake in the company's
round-house and the court awarded
him $40,900 damages. It may be well
to be careful how you keep snakes
about.
