eart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye. FATHER AND MOTHER. , The school childen of ' 6ak Park, a suburb of Chicago, were recently asked to vote, the Issue being, "Who Is the best and , greatest person who ever lived?' . - A partial statement of the result Is given as follows: . Lincoln, 14; Washington, 11; McKinley, G; Roosevelt, 4; King Arthur, 3; Joan of Arc, 3; "My Father," 3; "My Mother," 3; King Solomon, 1. Here Is an interesting revelation of the child mind. ' The first thing that strikes one is the overwhelming patriotic trend of tho children. Another, thing is the entire absence of the commercial spirit. There is no millionaire or captain of industry on the list. ...... It may be stated, that those childen wht voted for their fathers and mothers voted their real sentiments. The other votes are the reflection of adult opinion. "My father." - Blessings on the head of the children who cast that ballot! The normal child is the one who thinks -its father the greatest and best man! If the child thinks otherwise there is something tho matter with it or with the father. The father has every advantage in that from the first the child looks up to him. He only needs to be a firm but gracious sovereign to be always the king. Tliere are those of us who have gray threads in our hair who yet believe that "father" 13 the grandest and noblest man we have ever known. "My mother." . Those votes came naturally. They voiced a real conviction. On second thought every child would have written "mother" on his ticket. You will Eometiraes find a person who does not love his father. Rare are those, chil dren or adult, who do not revere the mother. Lord Byrons are scarce. Mother is a queen who rules by divine Ight. Her scepter is compelling love. At the mention of her sacred name the bolts to every heart are unbarred. In her name devils are cast out. She lures to heaven and points the way. Father and mother king and queen of the kingdom of love! Oh. hearts grown sore and wearv with the buffets of the world, ye have fxmt'the knee to many a liege lord and lady false - sovereigns in your time, but the mfld "and gentie reign of "father" and "mother" is from ever lasting unto everlasting. IN POLITICS Republicans returning from Lowell yesterday morning declare that they had a splendid time there on Saturday night at the opening political rally, and believe that the south end county prospects are'pink, bordering on the roseate.
