ARouT midnight of Oct. 9Th Mrs

ABOUT midnight of Oct. 9th Mrs.
Mary Seymour of Lancaster, Penn,
was outraged in the presence of her
three little children and then beaten
on the head, face and body, by two
human fiends named Philip Rogers
and Edward Sanders, 20 and %
years old, respectively. 1t will be
found necessary to the preservation
of civil society that it defend itself
TO the uttermost against tramps and
Williams of all species. Doubtless if
these worthless scoundrels had been
where their former deeds justly en-
titled them to be, Mrs. Seymour
would yet be alive and caring for
her three children. 1t costs
something to a community to hunt
down and punish those who are
wilfully, stubbornly, purposely and
maliciously wrong and crooked, but
it pays-pays in the punification of
the community pays in the greater
security of life, liberty and property
from violence of all kinds; pays in
the moral effect upon the rising
generation; pays in actual dollars
and cents in the prevention of crime.
A man of the kind mentioned has
no more right to have the freedom
of a civilized community than one
afflicted with dangerous, contagious
disease no more than wolf has to
live among sheep; no more than a
mad dog has among domestic ami
mails. In pure self-defence, society
must get rid of all such. Those
who are old in crime cannot readily
be reformed, but organized society
may do much TO keep temptation out
of the reach of the young, and make
vice and crime of all degrees and
shades, dishonorable, disreputable
odious and extremely Improbable
