htection of Democracy Must
ome From Those It Protects
By THEODORE RE N. VAIL
President of the American Telegraph and Telephone Company
Two thousand years ago a new era, a new religion,
dawned upon the world.
Whatever of
we have and enjoy comes from the
civilization, of freedom or of liberty
ubordination by
man of human passion and selfishness because of the
teachings, the uppuatie; or reincarnation of
ideals and principles of that religion.
Peace and good will on earth to men. Peace on
earth to men of good will is the basis of liberty of
mankind.
Our democracy is based on liberty, the liberty of all to live and enjoy
life, the fullest liberty to each individual consistent with the
to all other individuals. More is impossible.
same right
Under this civilization has come greater peace throughout the world. |
Wider intercommunication and more neighborly feeling toward our fellow
men have been developed.
Man’s self-dependence, or independence of others, has passed, but
in its place have come greater possibilities of life. Dependence of man
upon man implies service of man to man.
To maintain democracy, civilization and service, convention, regula-
tion and law, an organized government is necessary.
The difference between the organization of the government by democ-
racy and that by autocracy is that democracy is government by the will of |
the governed, and not the government of a few acting by usurped power
or that of an insurgent minority.
Government by democracy must be
tially, unflinchingly as that by any other government.
They who differ may express their difference, may
convert others, so long as it is not done in open defiance or in active rebel-
lion, and so long as their actions are subordinated to the will and authority
enforced as vigorously, impar-

Build Up the Virtues in Childre n and the
Faults Will Disappear
By MRS. ELVIRA HYATT
It pays to have high ideals for our children and to respect their indi-
yiduality. Much can be accompli
shed by expecting children to be good,
and by showing them that we trust them.
We should never call a child “bad,” never w s self-respect.
This does not mean that his naughty actions should be “glossed over,”

Stories can be told to arouse and stimulate high ideals. Stories have
a wonderful educational value and almost any lesson can be taught in story
flowers, animals, great and good
form. Tell stories about birds, trees,
men, simple stories of home and family life, stories from history and from
the Bible. The little minds are ready for anything you wish to
give them, and if you are a natural story-teller great indeed is your oppor-
tunity. Ideals of right conduct, love of family and sympathy with every
living thing can all be given through the right use of stories.

ONE of the most in-

the life of the great
war president oc-

when he was little

received the largest number of votes.
Of this incident he spoke in later years
as follows: “Then came the Black
Hawk war and I was elected captain
own
of volunteers, a success which gave me |
more pleasure than I have had since.”
In those early days Lincoln showed
that same observance to justice and
the rights of others which character-
ized his later years, in evidence of
which may be noted the incident of the
Indian's coming to General Cass with
a letter recommending him for his
services to the whites. Some of the
men in the company wished him shot
as a spy, but Lincoln promptly inter
