In the foroer article under this caption has submitted proof suffi cient to satisfy the most doubtful pereon of ths truth of the indict ment above. Also the reaosns were Rtren «| advanced by Judge Alfred J. Talley. * • I wilh tfi call your attention to a cartoon accompanying the said ar ticle by Perry in the Portland Tele gram. It is a picture of a wolf's den, with the wolf utafidllig in the entrance surrounded by the bones, of dead men. There were many dif ferent stones : composing the arch over the entrance, the first stone being’called “Prolonged Trials.” The second stone was named “Pardons add Paroles.” The thir4 was “Maudlin Sympathy for Criminals." The fourth, “Technicalities of tlie Law.” T1St fifth “Fake Insanity Pleas” and the last “Light Sen tences." I submit these for what they we worth. They no doubt, contribute something to the sum total of lawlessness. No Parental Authority. But the underlying cause of the great tide of lawlessness sweeping over our country is the breaking down of parental authority Jn the home and a consequent disrespect for law and order. Children, as a rule no longer heed the Biblical injunction, “Obey your parents, M but instead ride rough shod over what little authority is lodged in the home government. Parents are as much or more to blame than the children for a fail ure to enforce respect for and obe dience to their authority. Therefore they (children) grow up and become citizens without ever having been taught to respect law and order, and become criminals ofttimes by the time they attain their majority. This is made manifest by the great majority of criminals being mere boys. We are headed for the rocks! as a nation unless the parents of our boys and girls assert their au thority. This can not be done, sing ly and alone, but will take concert ed action, The parents’ will must be made superior to the child’s will, and he must be made to fort form thereto. The Apostle, Paul, said in hia letter to the Romans, in the 13th chapter and first verse, “Let every soul be subject to the higher povj» ers. For the powers that be are ordained of God." He was a fiym believer in law and order, and it may be reasonably inferred from his teachings that no man can be a good citizen unless he is subject to'constituted authority. The word 44 ■abject” is an inclusive term, and implies obedience, respect and loy alty. He therefore meant to say, “let every man be obedient, respect ful and loyal to the higher powers for they are ordained of God. Now the only powers that God ordain ed, that I know, is the home, the church and the state. Two of these, the home and the church, he ordained directly, and one he set the seal of His approval upon, namely, the state. He said, j in reference to civil government, "Render unto Caesar the things that? are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s. tt Important Institution. In the home, the first and most important institution that God or dained, are the members thereof obedient, respectful and loyal to the constituted authority of the High Priests thereof, viz., the parents? When father and mother forbid the doing of certain things that are not helpful to the children, do they sub mit to the authority thereof, or do they substitute their own wills in stead? Do fathers and mothers enforce respect for and obedience to their mandates, or do they have any man dates to respect? The church and state are both fed and supplied from the home. They will be, in the future, just what the children in the homes of today are. If they are irreligious and disre spectful of constituted authority, certainly when they become citizens and members of the church, it can not but reasonably be expected, that they will continue so. Child Life la Asset. Child life is the most important of any home, community, or country, and ought to be nurtur and cared for with the tenderest most effective soli citude . Mor e money and effort should be thereon, than on any othej Any home, any community, any nation that neglects its life is headed for destruction ruin. The Catholic chUfeh emphasizes importance and announces with degree of pride that if you will them the child the first seven of its life, you may have it remainder, but it will still be Catholic. The state in a measure, its importance for it annually around one and one millions of dollars on its edu alone. But education alone not make a citizen unless it developed after God’s order, viz., mentally, socially and is being done h i thi s home . church, the state for the de < of the child morally. religion, family prayer, read the Bible and singing the old of Zion have been supplant by rook parties, bridge parties, God only knows what other kind parties, and the child is left to morally and spiritually alone. church gathers them into the school once every Sunday about an hour and tries in a fee way to counteract all that has learned of the world and of in that short period of time. i then, they are taught by leaders of the blind. What the state is doing for them is negligible. The great who compose our legislatures refused to have the Bible read school on the idea, I presume, church and state should be orevw ke P* ^rate. ^ ell > the Bible INDUSTRIAL REVIEW Macon: Bids received for construc ' on °* 8t, wage disposal plant and P tic tanks - | Ninety-eight southern cities report in building construction August.

(His physical director, David McCary, is with Jackie in this picture.) The News will present an exclu sive (series of physical exercises posed by Jackie Coogan, famous “kid” movie star, on how to keep your boy fit. These aids to physical perf ecti o n w e re prepared by David McCary, now athletic instructor of the Hollywood Athletic Club, where Jackie Coogan is obtaining his phy sical education. Does All of Own Stunts. Aside from the pleasure Jackie ob tains from his gym work, he finds it a necessary part of his theatrical routine. If there is one thing that this famous lad resents it’s the mere suggestion of 'the substitution of a “double” to do the difficult physical feats that furnish the thrills in a movie play. Jackie insists on doing all of his own stunts, and he pre pares for them by strict with the rules sent down by his in-i i structor. ' Mr. McCary was formerly head of the physicul culture department of the city of San Ryancisco. He is widely known for his juvenile work, and aside from Judge Ben B. Lind sey, probably no man in America has mastered the art of boy training as has Mr. McCary. A close study and strict adherence to the sugges tions offered by McCary as pos^d by Coogan will repay you a thou sand fold. Regular “He-Boy. tt The general public have always looked on Jackie Coogan not so much as the boy as the inspired youth whose histrionic genius has won for him the plaudits of the entire civilized world. 0 That he is a *4 regular he boy tt and loves the things that bring joy to the hearts of millions of other boys of • his own age, has never occurred to his admiring fans. Pos sibly the best description of Jackie is contained in the following letter from McCary after Jackie had made his first visit to the Hollywood Ath letic club. Perfect Specimen, “Since the yisit a of Master Jackie Coogan,” wrote McCary to Jackie’s father, “I am prompted to tell you of the deep impression his irresistible charm and personality left upon me. To find him such an extraordinary regular fellow kind of a boy makes one wonder at the miraculous beauty and versatility of this perfect child. 44 Perfect is used advisedly, be cause 1 believe that Jackie Coogan is mentally and physically what we hope will be the standard of all children in years to come when the physiology and psychology of child rearing is more universally under stood. 44 When Jackie chinned himself on the parallel bars, did a push from a leaning rest, swung on the Roman rings and did numerous other feats, without the usual parental caution against danger, I was indeed im pressed.
