CRITICISING fathtr and moth.
KR.
At a certain stage in tbe life of
many of our young people, they fall
Into an unpleasant habit of criticis
ing their parents. Occasional lapses
in English, trival errors in scholar
ship?historical, literary, scientific
or what, not?old fashioned ideas in
matters of tast?. dress, manners and
social usages, arc freely commented
upon.
When daughters get to know more
than their mothers, and sons begin
to give points to their fathers, there
is friction in tbe family machinery
which muses many an unpleasant Jar
This docs not mean that our young
people are intentionally rude or Ill
mannered. 'Such habits creep upon
them unconsciously. They do not
mean to be disloyal or ungrateful to
the parents whom they really love
devoutedly. They are merelv *???*?*_
less and unthinking in the matter*
On their side the parents; often feel
too deeply hurt by these criticisms
to remonstrate agsinst them. They
suffer many indignities in silence
when it would be wise to administer
the?deserved rebuke.
Each generation enjoys privileges
unknown to the one preceding?beter
schools, larger opportunities for gen
eral culture and a more complicated
social life.
The sons and daughters who profit
by thes? good things have their pa
rents to thank for them. It would
be "more becoming" in them, as the
old time phrase has it, to remember
their debt of gratitude than rather
to look for blemishes.
The ideal relation between parent
r?nd child Is that of perfect comrade
ship. when parents keep la touch
with their children's interests, and
children confide freely In their pa
rents, harmony relgnB in the home.
Happy tho family whose daughters
aro their mother's friends, and whose
sons are father's chums!?E. M. H.,
In Orphans Friend.
BACK TO THE FIRST PRINCIPLES
Wood row Wilson said another sen
sible thing when he told the guests
at the dinner of the Southern Socie
ty:
"What we wish to prevent is any
thing which will relieve our people
from the necessity of taking care of
themselves. Our system of govern
ment has been great because It has
put on the rtates tbe necessity of
working out their own problems and
has put tbe people everywhere upon
their mettle, has left their economis
and social salvation to their own dis
cernment and their own exertion. The
present problem of our politics is not
tew te redivlde the powers of govern
ment but how to revitalise and redig
nlfy and redeem tne powers of the
states."
We venture to say that there Is
more political common-sense and wis
dom In that one paragraph than in
all the speeches that Mr. Bryan and
Mr. Roosevelt have made in a year.

Kindly Fruits.
The expression to the prg/er book
"Kindly fruits of the earth" baa for
moat persons no definite meaning on
account of the difference in signifi
cance now attached to the word kind
ly from that used when the expression
was first written. Hie word kindly to
that connection meant as nearly as
possible "of its kind," and the expres
sion "kindly fruits of tho earth"
meant "the fruits of the earth each

Taxes.
The law requlrca me to settle in
full with the state the first Monday
in January, to supply the county with
sufficient funds to meet its obliga
tions and to pay the school vouches
us they come In. And In order to do
this I am compelled to ask you to
settle your taxes at once. If you do
not 1 will be compelled to enforce
collections, thus giving me un un
pleasant duty to perfom and audln*
