United States should hold the islands, but no reason why it should at- tempt to force upon any people a form 0: that people oi; jetted. Brothel- Shoots Brother. C'iAltlll‘ISTON, Oct. Isl—N. T.

The Governor Give: Some Valuable Hints About Bringing Up Children. ALBANY, Oct. 19,—Governor Roose- . velt was persuaded to address the moth- ers’ assembly in session here .yesterday afternoon and 7 gave the mothers some good, sound advice. He said: “As the father of six children I have something to speak before you, though of course not a mother. I expect to have the pleasure of seeing you all at the ex- - ecutive mansion. I want to talk to you on the importance to the nation of the objectof your assembly. “I do not think it is right for the father to let the mother have all the care of home life. With love and afiection there should be common sense and resolution in bringing up children. By indulgence and weak will parents may purchase misera- ble minutes of pleasure at the cost of all their children’s future life. I believe in self control. Let the children have just as good a time as they possibly can. I believe in grown folks having a good time too. “Fundamentally the questions of love and confidence between parents and chil- dren underlie the whole social system. not only underlie, but are. Our civil life, in the long run, will rise or sink as the average family is a success or failure. All questions of social life will solve themselves if the children are brought up to be the highest they are capable of be‘ ing, if our social family relations are as they should be. If not, no material pros- perity, no progress in literature, art, busi- ness or success in war, will make up for it to the nation. “I think all those people who are bring- ing up the boys and girls who will natu- rally be the leaders of the next century. who have the advantages of home and school, should keep peculiarly in mind'to train those children to have not wholly the negative motives, but to cultivate the positive; .... .. .. “New I am going to shock you. If any Men have a boy who will not on good provocation fight, that boy is not worth his snlt. Train your boy to use his fight- ing instincts on the side of righteousness. Do not punish him for what is simply an overflow of animal spirits, because he is healthy and full of life. But punish anything like cruelty. Punish him when he abuses his strength. Train up his character. As one who sees infinitely much of the wickedness in the world, I have grown to count the waste of intelli- gent and strong odort for righteousness to represent ‘a positive misdemeanor on the part of persons who so waste the ef- fort. “The next century we need every ounce of morality, of firm courage, of steady purpose. “’e need not only the nice peo- ple, the people who want to sit at home. who would use futile efforts, who would confine their efforts to passing resolu- tions, but we shall need the people who feel a burning sense Of indignation at corruption, at wrongs, at injustices, at foul living, but people who will go out and work to set the world aright.” AT THE EXPOSITION. Maryland Day at Philadelphia to Commemorute' a Tea. Party. PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 19.—Today is Maryland day at the Nationai Export exposition.

Gibbons and Bishop Paw rel, all four of.‘ whom will take part in; the Maryland dizzy exercises to be con. ducted in the grand auditorium of the ex- position. This d'ate for the Maryland ex-- cursion was selected because 0: its his-- toric commemoration, being as it is the anniversary of the burning of the Peggy Stewart in Annapolis harbor in 1774. The Peggy Stewart contained a cargo of tea, and it was this cargo that enraged the patriots of Maryland as had another more- famous cargoenraged those of Bos- ton; Following the exercises in the audito- rium: which will begin at noon, the lead- ing members of the' delegation will be en- tertained by Director General Wilson, Mayor Ashbridge and others.
