HONOR YOUR CHILDREN
SAYS HELEN WARE
Evih of Modern Life, Deceit and Dis
honesty, Due to Parents' Tyrannous
Training of Children.
"Honor your father and your mother thlB
has been tho Injunction that parents havo too
often and too long held ns a throat over their
offspring. Honor your children such a re
versal of the Fourth Commandment observed
by parents would do more good In tho world,
In my opinion, than n tyrrnnlzlng assertion of
parental authority. It Is well for children to
honor tholr parents when thoy deserve such
honor. But parents should first seek to merit
this by tholr treatment of their children. Wo
may talk nbout tho evils of modern llfo, of
deceit nnd dishonesty In business, politics and
tho domestic relations; but these evils can't bo
eradicated until tho source Is removed, and
tho souico is in tho homo. Men are what their
parents havo mudo them. Cowardice, treachery
and dishonesty In llfo Invariably develop from
seed sown In tho child llfo."
Miss Holcn Ware, who has distinguished
herself by her charucterlzatlons In dramas of
modern life, was sitting In tho reception room
of her BUlto In tho Vcndlg last evening. Miss
Ware hnd been discussing tho problems of
modern life ns affording material for drama,
and tho conversation turned from marriage to
tho relation of parent and child. Miss Ware,
whoso personality 13 as magnetic as It is em
phatic. Is trenchantly direct In her opinions.
Life, to Miss Ware, Is a serious thing.
"In llfo," eho declared, "the absolutely
greatest things aro truth nnd Justice. All our
evils, all our problems, exist In tho lack of
truth nnd Justice. To get down to funda
mentals, this applies to business, politics, tho
relations of men and women, tho Inequalities,
oppressions and wrongs of our social and
economic life. And to get to tho cause of
untruth, injustice, dishonesty, lying and deceit
wo must go right to tho home whoro the child
is reared. 'Sparo tho rod and spoil the child'
is the very command which has spoiled char
acter and spoiled life. If wo want to correct
abuse wo must correct tho cause, and wo must,
therefore, correct parents.
"Fear is the fundamental evil, the original
sin. In human life. Now children aro taught
to fear their parents, nnd later to fear their
teachers. Fear makes cowards. Punishment
miwBMmWA ,ct3
colossal malfeasances of financiers nro ho
more egregious truth the criminal Inconsldcrrtte
ness and unklndness of the parents that Atari
children wrong by making them selfish, fearful
and untruthful.
"Husbands nnd wives generally lack full
sympathy and understanding, nnd In nlno out
of ten caBes tho husband Is not absolutely
honest and frank with his wife This results In
antagonism, suspicion, lack of respect and tin
happiness. Then theso Very couples, when
they becomo parents, bring up their children
In such a way ns to make It Inevitable that
they enter similar conditions. Truth, and
absolute truth, should be obsorved In human
relations, and married people should religious
ly renllzo their responsibility to the lives they
bring Into tho world, nnd tho veneration mid
lovo duo those lives. Let parents first apply
tho command of honor nnd respect on their
part. This would do moro good than civic cam
paigns, womnn suffrage propaganda nnd anti
trust IcglslaUon. Tho reform of Incompetent,
unloving, Irresponsible, misunderstanding par
ents would mean tho reform of the race."
FLASHES FROMSTARS"
Miss Georgia Calnc, playing with Adele." nt
the Garrlck Theatre, owns ono of the finest
konnels on Long Island. In this kennel Is a
fpanlel named Sherlock Holmes. "Sherlock
Holmes," said Miss Calne, "Is tho champion
burglar router of the world. Why. ho can de
tect a burglar n mllo off, and la bo bitter
against them that ho cannot bear to see a bur
glar oven in moving pictures. Recently, before
Adele' started on a tour, I took Holmes to n
movlng.plcture bIiow In Etmhurst, where I re
side. During tho action of one of tho plays it
robber appeared upon tho screen Well, I wish
you could havo hoard Sherlock ho sot up a
howling that startled tho house, nnd not until
nn officer appeared In tho picture nnd throw tho
thief into a cell did my dear Sherlock canso hla
bnrklng. Clever dog. eh?"
Eva Davenport, bounding nnd buxom, spent
tho past summor at Mount Clemens, whero she
observed a painfully restricted diet, taking nil
tho baths on tho program, sat packed In Ico an
hour ench day after a steam bath, and wont
through various forms of exorcise guaranteed
to reduce weight.
"I wns feeling highly elated and thinking my
old friends would notlco my loss," she said tho
other day, "until I came back to tho vicinity of
Broadway and 42d street. The vory first day of
my appearance my conceit was given a crush
ing blow by tho policeman who helped me
across tho street back of tho Times Building.
Why, how-d-you-do. Miss Davenport,' he said
I am glad to see you.' 'And I'm glad to see
you,' I returned, for I havo a special fondness
for policemen they have helped mo over many
a rough place. 'I notice t'-'at you have gotten
thin,' said I. 'Yes,' ho answered, 'but I Bee you
haven't.' And they talk about tho gallantry
of men!"
Allco Gale, who has scored a pronounced suc
cess in "Todny," which will be ten at tho
Adelphl Theatre, does not believe In being
pessimistic about anything, and Is very op
timistic as to the prospects for general pros
perity In this country, desplto tho European
war. "If wo let the European war discourage
us, what would wo do If the world should
come to an end?" sho asks pointedly. "Lot us
bo cheerful. Nothing Is so bad It might not im
worse."
"There's a good deal of talk about how easy
you can fool the farmer." said Raymond Hitch
cock, "but they are right there- with their
answer. Just tho samo.
"This summer I spent a few weeks In a. HttTBrs
country town. I only 6aw three or four children
during tho entire length of my stay there. Ono
morning, quite early, ns I was taking my con
stitutional, I met a weazened old man who was
evidently a native.
" "How often,' I Inquired, 'aro children born
In this town?"

Is tho cause of misdoing nnd crime. If, in
stead of threatening children, parents encour
aged them always to tell tho truth without
fear of punishment thero would bo les3 wrong
doing In tho world today. If parents honored
tholr children there would be more honor
among men.
"What Is tho condition In tho average home?
A child is restricted by rigid rules. It is trained
to seo only the paronts' point of view. The
father and mother never consider tho child's
point of view. The child, In playing, acci.
dentally breaks a vase, or has some mlshaii.
It Is then scolded or Sloped. Tho result is
that the child, i.-fttead of admitting trivial
nil.Uolu;, basins to lie It blames whatever
accidents happen on ih servant, the dog or
the cat. That child continues to lie through
life, into the plastic nature of tho Immaturo
being the element of fear has been implanted,
und with fear, deceit and cowardice, ,vii the
later Kindnesses of life will not tliminato that
nuison In the character.
"A child should never be punished. I would
never scold a child. 'Now if you don't stop
th4t III panl5 you-' bow often do wo
heur this? A child should over he threatened.
A child should never be visited with outbursts
of temper. Scolded and whipped, as the aver
age child is. it cannot but develop a bullying
and untmthful nature.
"Reforms are not made spontaneously or
mlraculouly-lther la political affairs or hu
roan lives. We aro all what we have grown to
be, and our children v. ill be what wo train
them to be. The great reform to be aeoin
pushed In modern life Is that of unthlnlving.

must learn to be considerate of their children,
to respect their children, to be able to pqt
themselves in their children's place and see as
their children e. They must love and tole
rate, and not fil,liten and intimidate. They
should mako children fed that, even If they
do wrong, they can frankly admit It without
htrsh censure or chastisement. When parents
