Wants Everybody to Sing.

About the only opportunity that the ma
jority of our number have for exercising
their vocal organs, either in speaking or
singing, is on Sunday morning. There we
can let off the accumulated lung power Of
weeks enforced silence that is, if we
happen to be familiar with the hymns Sc
lected, or are the fortunate owners of
hymn books.
1t is in the cause of the unhappy
ones who do not possess the latter. that
make this appeal. Every one likes to sing.
and this is one Of the few pleasures of our
present existence. Being one Of the
''canaries.' l have been frequently appealed
to. to encourage the selection of the old,
familiar hymns, so as to give the boys a
''chance." If any one wishes to see large
number OF men. who. for the moment, are
perfectly happy, just let me know when
you can come to chapel. and the first hymn
will be some old standby, like Corona

how or not, and volume of song comes
forth, that would do credit to a Methodist
camp-meeting.
Now 1 will present another picture The
next hymn, altnOugn IL may DE beautiful
one, is known to but few. Now where are
your happy faces gone to? See the looks
of actual discomfort. There is one lad here
who told me that he could do four mems

No chance to join in and venture to say
that he is sorry he came to chapel. Its like

cannot you do this? And when the Off
Gals are considering the question, if any
liberal,mnded person feels inclined to send
few copies here, l know that they would
be appreciated. The boys quickly learn
the air, and if they had the words all could

and would leave the chapel better men.

Honesty Measure,

A few days ago in counting up the coin
in one of the boxes at the exposition in
package of gum, no less than 1870 one-cent
pieces were found. Now the lmmutable
law of these devices is. that nothing goes
except genuine nickle of the realm, the
inside arrangements being such that coins
of all other denominations slip through
into the money box, and no gum responds.
Consequently all these cent pieces were
pure gain and the gum box proprietor can
count himself just so much ahead of the
game. This shows quite eloquently the
universal desire OF the human race to get
something for nothing, and it also exempli-
tes the old adage that ''cheaters never pros

We publish elsewhere the views of Sec
rotary Hart. of the state board of charities
and corrections. on board of pardons. Mr..
Hart is alive to the necessity of such a
board. and his official duties enable him,
more than any man in the state, to
sary as an economic measure. but would re-
suit in separating the true purpose of i'm
prisOnment from the uses it is made to
serve as an institution in which the strong
may be avenged upon the weak The shad-
ow of the penitentiary would cease to
serve the purpose of a collection agency,
and the line between the wrOng-doer and
the criminal could be easily drawn. The
Minneapolis Evening Journal classes this
proposed board among the luxuries of
state. and asks the pertinent question,
''What will it cost?" Answer: Less by
twenty-five per cent. than the present
son that if such board existed in this state
at the present time. the numbers confined
here would be reduced one-third in one
years time. There are at least two hun
dred applicants for pardon in the state and
whether they have made application by the
regular circumlocutiOnal methods or not,
they have grounds for asking. and if such
board existed it would consider these ap-
plcants. Perhaps one hundred and fifty
would be favorably considered. on the basis
of imprisonment, as practiced by those
states where such board exists. The OBJ
ject of imprisonment gained, the wrong
doer is given his liberty. That object is
not revenge, hatred or punishment. but in
telligent treatment of criminaity.

intelligence there is in this view when it is
subjected to close inspection. One would
suppose that any man who knows enough
to spout politics ought to know enough to
consider that the present vast army of pro-
hibitiOnists have sprung from a small be-
ginning, and their growth has been by that
gradual process know as development. If
the logic OF the t. G. p's had been applied
lin the beginning and adhered to, there
would be no prohibition party now: whereas
they are such power in the land that ere
another presidential campaign they will
dictate the policy of both parties on the
liquor question, and not many years hence
the question of prohibition will be the is
sue on which president will be chosen.

right, but the principle involves one of the
