Parents to Blame When Children Lie
Either Raise Barrier Between Selves and Little Ones* Confidences, or
Treat Them as Subjects For Jokes
By Dorothy Dlx.
■ Why do parents
make it so hard for
their children to be
truthful to them, and
confidential with
them ?
Every father and
mother in the world
want their children
to love them; they
want their children
to come to them with
all of their heart se
crets. they want,
their children to tell
them everything
they do, and think
of lining. Yet they
deliberately raise ev
ery possible barrier
between themselves
and their sons and
daughters, and prac
tically force their children into be
coming little liars. Honestly, when
you observe the way the average father
and mother treat their children, it looks !
as If when people became parents they |
took leave of the last particle of com- j
mon sense that they had.
Take the matter of a child's confi- [
dence. AVe all know that If a father j
and mother are to guide a child aright
ihey must, look Into his very soul. We J
also know that there is nothing else !
in nature so shy, so sensitive, and so j
afraid of ridicule as a little child. It
takes a touch as light and delicate as
that of the most skilful surgeon to
probe into a little girl's or boy's
thoughts.
Yet, knowing this, ninety-nine par
ents out of a hundred do not hesitate
to repeat as a good jest, before a room
full of people, the sacred confidences
that their children have given them, j
They dreg out the little thoughts and
fancies that were the very core of the ;
child's heart for the amusement of a j
lot of brutal grown-ups who guffaw
with laughter that Is a crucifixion to
the child that sees himself being held
up as a figure of fun to be mocked at
and jeered at.
Fear of Ridicule Makes Children Wrnp
Souls in Seeretiveness

the shy love story that her little daugh
ter hud told her. and to subject her first
romance to vulgar criticism. I have
heard whole families, grandmothers,
and aunts and cousins, regaled on the
story of some foolish little act a girl
had done, and which she had told to
her mother, because! she was uneasy
In her conscience about It, and felt
the need of advice, but which she didn't
wan exploited abroad and betrayed to
the world.
The result of all of this is that the
parents simply seal their children's lips.
They blight confidence in the bud. Ex
perience has taught the young ones
that their elders are not to be trusted,
that they will make their sacred heart
secrets the subject of a joke, or else
publish them to the world. That is
why flie average girl and boy confide
in strangers instead of their parents.
Parents also make their children liars
by punishing them lr they tell the
truth. They put a reward upon men
dacity by making veracity painful.
When Johnnie knocks ovef the jam jar
in trying to get to it. mother asks him
who did it. If Johnnie savs, "I did."
mother spanks him for it. One or two
experiences of this nature teach John
nie the wisdom and prudence of saying
that as ho was passing through the
pantry he saw the cat do it.
To penalize the truth with children
is to drive them into falsehood, and
yet in all my acquaintance ] know but
one mother and father who have intel
ligence enough to recognize this patent
fact. No matter what their children
have done, if they tell the truth about
it. they are never punished. In fact
immunity from punishment is the re
ward for telling the truth, for these
wise people believe that there is hope
of every boy and Kirl turning out right
if they are not raised up to be cowards
and liars.
When a child has done a wrong: or a
foolish thing and he comes to you
frankly and honestly and tells vou about
it, you have got a chance to "do some
thing with him by talking to him
kindly and tenderly, and pointing out
his error to him. But how helpless you
are If you have made your child afraid
to tell the truth to you, and he comes
lying and cringing to you like a dog
that is afraid of being beaten!
NO DAMAGE FROM ERUPTION
Kedding, Cal., June 2.—Thus far no
damage has been reported as a result
of the eruption of Mt. Lassen in Sha
sta county. Further activity of the
old volcano, forest rangers said to-tlay.
would endanger millions of feet of
timber in the forest to the east and
northwest of the peak.
Continual Nagging Send* Many a Child
from Home to Ruin
That parents drive their children
away from home by their continual
nagging and tyranny is also true. They
send many a girl out to her ruin, and
drive many more into hasty and Ill
advised marriages.
~iS ere ! s a case in point: A young
JTjil, a nice, honest young business girl
or mv acquaintance, Is engaged to be
married to a worthy young fellow.
They are not ready to marry yet be
cause they are both very young, and
lr?.K?; a D i v ? nt A to be a little better
established in his business, and to save
up money to furnish a little home be
fore he marries, and the girl wants to
give her earnings for a couple of years
to her parents, who are poor, as some
return for the money they have spent
in rearing her.
Rut a month or so ago the girl
and her fiance went out together to
a party. They were detained and grot
home later than the mother and father
thought proper. Thereupon the par
ents fell upon the girl with intolerable
abuse, and ordered the young man from
the house. The girl tried to explain,
but her mother and father refused to
listen, and ever since have made things
so unpleasant for her at home that she
is going to escape by rushing precipi
tately into a hasty marriage.
This is. of course, an exceptional case,
but many another girl marries the first
man who asks her because her mother
is always scolding her, or her father
is grumpy, or because she is denied
reasonable liberty of action.
Parents Should Realize l.lttle Ones Ire
as Human as They
The trouble with parents seems to
be that they think that their children
are not human beings, with natural
human instincts, but some queer species
of animal to which the ordinary rules
of life and conduct do not apply
Every man and woman know well
enough that they never tell things the
second time to an Individual who abu
ses their confidence; that they Indulge
in subterfuge when the truth is going
to prove unpleasant and expensive and
that they get away as fast as possible
from those who tyrannize over them
Yet they do all of these things their
children don't confide in them, and are
so crazy to leave to their children, and
wonder why home!

Democrat Assails Bryan
on Tainted Money Charge
Omaha, Neb., June 2.—"Where did
Bryan get his money, and why did ho
not return the tainted money which
was subscribed to his campaign fund
In 1904?" This question is made the
subject of a violent attack upon Wil
liam J. Bryan by Colonel John G.
Maher, leading candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
of Nebraska.
In part the statement says: "Twen
ty-five years ago the Bryans were
poor. To-day they are rich. Where
did they get it? From the people, of
course. What have they produced''
Chautauqua lectures, to be sure.
"In 1904, when Bryan was a candi
date for the Senate and his brother
in-law chairman of the State commit
tee, $12,000 or J14.000 was sent to Ne
braska for use In the campaign. Later
when the facts were published, Mr'.
Bryan did not deny that the monev
reached Nebraska, but stated that if
it was shown to be Wall street or
Tammany money he would repay it
"The congressional investigation
brought forth the testimony from
Thomas Fortune ltyan that he had
contributed hundreds of thousands to
the fund from which that remittance
came. That is the same Ryan whom
Bryan wanted to exclude from the
Baltimore convention."

Relief Department
Enters Into Dispute
With P. R. R. Co.
Because they are denied the privi
leg of making payments to the Penn
sylvania Voluntary Relief Department
fund, strikers to-day announced their
intention to take their case into court.
Plans will be discussed at a meeting
to-night at strike headquarters, 1334%
North Sixth street.
Men who went out on strike were
requested by" the coippany to turn over
their relief books • and certificates.
Many refused to comply with the re
quest, claiming they had paid monthly
dues to the fund and were entitled to
some return. Since the strike former
employes have sent money to Phila
delphia, to the office of Superintendent
W. B. McCaleb and to other depart
ments.
The money sent in by discharged
employes was not received, but was
returned to the men with a letter
stating they were no longer members,
having left the employ of the com
pany. Letters, with copies of books
and checks sent in by strikers and
returned will be presented to the court.
The strikers want to know if they
have any claim on the fund.
At the office of the superintendent
of the Philadelphia division to-day it
was stated that all men in the relief
department are subject to rules. Vio
lations of these rules, it was said, takes
away the right of the men to ail
claims. The strikers quit of their
own accord and when they did so they
lost all claim to any further consid
eration from the relief department. It
was said.
