At the next regular meeting of the Xoith Carolina General Assembly steps should be taken to tighten up on the bootleggers. In other words, there should be a clause added to the confiscation of liquor cars whereby the mortgagee could not lay claim to every good car that is picked up by the officers. It has come under our observation that in several cases which came before the recorder's court in this city, when a good car was taken over by the officers, some fellows would turn up in due course of time with a mortgage and claim the car for payments due, pay the costs and take the car. That sort of business will not hold for long, even though no action is taken at the next meeting of the Legislature. Mew Thru Steeping Car Limes Via Seaboard Air Line Ry.

E VERy M4# ro MS TR4DE (Wickes Wamboldt) There are certain mothers—and thers, too, for that matter—who are always fighting somebody in the comunity about their children. They resent everything that any body say to their youngsters. They want to fight the school teacher, the Sunday school teacher, or any neigh bor who offers a word of reproof to their children. } -They assume that their children } can do no wrong, and that any atti tude of criticism or rebuke is a per sonal insult to themselves. Such people are not only disturb ing to their communities, but their effect on their children is most un wholesome. A child who knows that his moth er or his father will back him up in anything he might do, and take up the cudgels against anyone who disapproves of him is apt to become an insufferable nuisance and bigot. Unless he develops along worth while lines in spite of his parents, }he grows up to be the kind of chap who prides himself on "not taking anything off or frqm anybody"— the kind who is always in a row and who falls automatically into the class of undesirable citizens. One high-tempered but intelligent mother said: "I had permitted my self to become so sensitive about my [little girl that I had reached the fighting point without realizing it. I One day she came in crying and told jme that the little boy next door had 'slapped her. "My pent-up feelings broke loose and I hurried to the fence and called to the mother bf this little boy. I told her just what I thought of her child; and then she got mad and told me what she thought of mine*. We had a very spirited and most disgraceful controversy across the fence. And right in the midst !of it we glanced down, and our chil } dren were swapping dandelions I through the pickets. They had more sense than we had and the les son hit us both at the same time. We began to laugh and made every thing up. From that day to this I have never permitted myself to get 'excited about the differences that {my child has with anybody else." The average child who gets into difficulty with any person big or lit- ] tie has usually done something to { warrant it. Children and grown I people too who go through life mind- ' ing their own business and keeping a civil tongue in their heads keep out of trouble. Parents who set out to make the neighborhood bow the knee to their children are simply looking for trouble with a micro scopep and a telescope. And at the same time are bringing up a child in the way it should not go. Father's Day and the Dandelion. , (Commerce and Finance) Without meaning in any way to disparage the observance of Mother's Day we have long argued that a day or at least half a day should be set aside for fathers. We were there fore glad to read that last Sunday," being the third Sunday in June, had been recognized in some parts of the country as 'Father's Day." We hope that its observanrce will become general. From The New York Times we learn that the first celebration of the third Sunday in t June as "Father's Day" was held in Spokane in 1910 and that since then, with a strong support from the neck wear and slipper manufacturers, the idea has spread rapidly. The offi cial flower of the day is the dande lion, which was selected originally by the mmebers of the Martin W. Cal lener Bible Class of Wilkinsburg, Pa. They picked the dandelion because the more it is trampled on the better it grows. W congratulate Mr. Cal lener and his Bible class upon their : sympathy with the American father. ; Chess As An Intellectual Stimulant. C.B. Rollins, of Columbia, a de scendant of the man known as the father of the University of Missouri, thinks of course in chess would prove an intellectual stimulant Quite equal to any course in the modern dniversity curriculm. He also calls attention to poetry and literature of chess, the legends of kingdoms and the love of fair women lost on thee i hazard of the game. Mr. Rollins, however, says the game does not lend itself to gambling. "It is one of the oldest, most intellectual and cosmo politan of games."—Columoran Mis sourian.
