Domestic Peace

HERE is so much unnecessary trouble in the wcrld, so much that might be avoided by giving more thought to our own problems and trying a little harder for happiness. When my son, who was the light of my eyes, in his very early ysath ran away and married a girl of whom I couldn’t help but disapprove, my heart was broken. It was as if he had died. But I soon, having a little sense and experience, awoke to the fact that if I was not to lose him altogether I must make the best of the girl he had married. Why shouldn’t one? .

Why must a woman criticise, advise and .interfere when she knows, when she is old enough to know, that the advice will not be heeded, and that the criticism and interference will be resented, and when what she risks is—the love of her son! I made up my mind that I was the one who had the sense and the experience; therefore I was the one to overlook 'and make allowances. I won’t say that it was easy to withhold advice when I saw them going wrong, but I never gave it unless I was asked. They had to learn wisdom of the only teacher —experience. When they made mistakes I sympathized instead of criticised. la Everything that 1 disapproved of I ignored, and everything that could be praised I praised. They have been married five years now, and though we have lived together most of the time, there has never once an angry word passed

Animals Have Not Faculty Of Reasoning

track to which their specific nature determines them. A man can improve himself by |tudy, by exertions of his own talents, but brutes cannot do thiiji. They may be taught various actions by man, but they cannot improve themselves. A race of men may increase in knowledge and civilization, but brutes act now as they were always known to act. i AA hile brute animals have not the faculty of they have a power or aptitude for the proper guidance of their actions, which supplies for them tlid place of reason. This is callediinstinct. '■* It is the natural impulse tlrat "prompts animals to do what is useful to the individual and the species.

Much Harm Wrought by Youthful Smokers

If smokers older than twenty would constantly Tebuke all such juvenile smokers as they chanced to meet, these youngsters might realize that it is wisest to wait. A dealer in tobacco informs me that youngsters come into his shop with orders supposed to have been written by some grown person desiring tobacco and that it is the custom to let the minor have tobacco on such doubtful orders. >

between us. The faults in her that I most deplored have been cured by association and example. She is like an own daughter to me, and I am proud of her wherever she goes. They are planning their own home now, and “mother’s room” is part of the plan, and they have two lovely children, who seem to love “grandmother” quite as much as either parent. Now, isn’t this worth while? My fellow mothers-in-law, can’t you remember how crude, how selfish, how immature you were at the age of this girl, who comes into your family hoping to find love and who finds only criticism? 4 ■ .

It may be proved scientifically that all acts of animals can be acounted for without supposing them to possess the power of reasoning, of drawing conclusions from premises. They give no signs of reqsoning and this becomes more evident when we compare their actions with those of rational man. ", , All men, in full possession of their faculties, can grasp the abstract relation be- <. .tween means and ends, inventing and making new and various means, tools to accomplish their designs. Brute animals never do so; they can only follow the one beaten

Since it is the unanimous opinion of medical authorities that smoking by minors is highly injurious, it is certainly distressing to observe in all parts of the city an amazing increase of juvenile smoking. Many of these youngsters have told me that they were only fourteen or fifteen. It seems clear that the reason why these youngsters take up smoking is because they think that it is manly and that they are thus made into little men. One boy of sixteen, who had on short trousers when I met him smoking told me that' usually he wore long trousers, and

As the days.pass into months and the months into years, we pause and look, or rather try to look, into the future. Every normal human being is gifted with a desire to conquer something’ That something may be very great or exceedingly small in its proportions. Sometimes the idea or formation of the ’distinct desire is long in coming te-the surface. But when it does come it is there to stay. Now, 1 ask, does it pay to strive and struggle to become one of immortal fame? Or does it pay more to seek comfort

Mother Can Live With Son’s Wife

BOEHNE A FRIEND OF WORKINGMEN

Hb Is Praised by Labor Leaders of. Evansville. LIKED BY HIS OWN EMPLOYES ■ - «• Some of the Things That Mr. Boehne’s Home People Are Saying About Him —They Know Him Best and Heartily Endorse Him, Which Speaks Well For the Gubernatorial Candidate From the First Congressional District Evansville, February 15. —The working men of Evansville and southern Indiana, who know Congressman John W. Boehne, Democratic candidate for the nomination for Governor, are for him in spite of the many efforts of the political enemies of Mr. Boehne to leave the impression over the state that he is opposed to labor. Mr. Boehne, who has been a toiler all his life, Is a friend ofmnlon labor, as many workers will testify. Emil Levy, formerly president of the Cigar Makers’ Union of Indiana, and at present an official in the organization, as well as a district organizer for the American Federation of Labor, says he has known Congressman Boehne for many years "and that he has always found him to be a fair-minded and honorable man. “I know he is a man of his word,” said Mr. Levy, “and if he is nominated and elected Governor he will prove to be one of the best executives this state has ever had. He is on the square and is against no man. I wish we had a few more men in public life like Mr. Boehne.”

Enthusiastic for Boehne. William Kamm, until recently president of the Evansville Central Labor Union, made the trip with the fifty Boehne boosters to Indianapolis a few weeks ago, and he is one of the most enthusiastic workers for Mr. Boehne. Mr. Kamm has wide Influence among the workers. A labor leader, in speaking of Mr. Boehne’s candidacy, had this to say: “It is amusing how the opponents of Mr. Boehne are trying to make the voters believe that Mr. Boehne is opposed to the working classes. You can" not find a responsible labor leader in Evansville Who is fighting Mr. Boehne, and I do not want Mr. Boehne put in a false light with the working people. Boehne’s Employes Like Him. “Mr. Boehne has employed hun deeds Of people for years, and none of his workers has a word to say against him, but on the other hand, they say that Mr. Bpehne is a good-hearted man and that he has always treated his men with consideration.” Friends of Mr. Boehne in Evansville believe the attempt to turn labor in the state against their candidate will act as a boomerang. They say that Mr. Boehne’s clean record in private and public life will withstand all attacks from the opposition and that these attacks will simply prove stepping stones to his nomination for GoV ernor of Indiana. If nine men out of every ten in the city of Evansville were asked.the ques tion, “Who is the leading citizen of Evansville?” their reply would be the same. All would speak the name ol John W. Boehne. There is no man In Evansville who stands higher with the people and who has done more for the upbuilding of the city.

A KENTUCKY PAPER ON BOEHNE.

(Madisonville, Ky., Hustler.) If the Democrats of the state of Indiana are as wise as we think they are and as wise as they should be they will make Hon. John W. Boehne their nominee for the next Governor of their state. While it has never been our pleasure to even see thp man to know him, and while.he is a citizen of another state from the one of our birth, yet we have for a number ol years been watching with a great deal of interest the career of this gentleman. As mayor of the city of Evansville, he made a reputation for honesty, integrity and a determination to see that the laws were enforced, such as was unknown to any of his predecessors. As a member of congress from his district he has reflected credit upon himself and the people he has Represented. We believe as Governor of his state that he would meet every requirement and would be a worthy man to succeed the present worthy occupant of that position. Just as certain as Tottf Taggart and the gang that is dominated by hi's 'influence should t defeat Boehne and nominate a man who is objectionable ’to the masses of the Democratic party and the Republicans should nominate a clean man, just that certain would the nominee of the Democratic party be defeated at the election next November. The voters are getting des perately tired of boss rule, or bossism in any form.

FIGHT AGAINST BOSS RULE.

(Indianapolis News.) Letters continue to come into the 'Boehne headquarters from all over the rtate from Democrats who offer encouragement and support to Mr. Boehne in his fight against boss rule •md machine politics in the Democratic party.
