SPECIAL NOTICE TO DISTRICT
LECTURERS.

After consultation with the Executive
Committee in regard to the lecture sys-
tenn formulated and adopted by the
National Legislative Council; and
whereas in many of our districts
lecturers had been at work for some
time and appointments had been pub
lished before the action of the Legisla-
tive council was known; and whereas
the time is so short from May district
meetings, as per order of our National
President, to annual meeting of the
State Alliance; and whereas the May
meeting would bring an additional ex-
pense to the order, and the change
would carry confusion to our brethren
on account of appointments already
published, it is therefore ordered that
the lecturers already appointed must
continue their work till the regular
meeting of the State Alliance, and that
the system proposed by our National
Legislative Council be deferred till that
meeting. ELIAS CARR,

case Of that phenomenon called heredlty,
but you are mistaken. What ruined this
young mans life was the same thing that is
dragging down inte the ranks of the crimi-
nal classes some of the best material Of the

methods that border on gambling and lead
to actual gambling.
am viewing this matter from common
sense and not sentimental standpoint It
is fact, which cannot be denied. that
when man becomes an embezzler he does
so to further his designs in some gambling
speculation. And it must be conceded that
such crimes are getting to be of common oc-
currence-sO common that venture to say
that, figuratively speaking. it is on the eve
of winning the pennant in the category of
crime. Not only this, but it ruins more

est and importance to each OF us as inmates
of penal institution; for, if we honestly
analyze our own past experience, we shall
all. without exceptions be compelled to ac-
knowledge that our presence within these
walls has been brought about by our want
of moral courage; and tits only by the per-
sistent and energetic exercise of this moral
courage that we can ever hope to resume
and maintain our former relations with the
outside world, if we are spared to regain
our liberty.
It may be asked in what way have we
evinced this cOwardice? The answer is OBJ
vious. If we had had the resolution to
avoid the rum-shop; to resist the allure
ments of the gambling den; to shun the VIZ
cious pleasures set before us by fast and
dissOlute companions; to refrain from reck-
less and useless expenditure (far beyond
our means. and neither necessary nor con-
ducive to our health and happiness )-if we
had evinced this moral courage, should we
have been behind these bars? The unheSi-
tating and spontaneous reyIy will be NO.
Again. had we spent the time, money and
talents we possess to the enhancement of
the best interest of those near and dear to
us-Our parents, our wives or our children.
instead of selfishly squandering health,
happiness and reputation at the shrine of
unlawful greed or still more degrading and
soul. destroying pursuits, should we have
beQueathed to our dear ones and ourselves a
ruined character, shattered constitution.
ard heritage of misery and regret? Let
those parents, wives and children answer
for us-and, amidst torrent of agOnizing.
heart-rending tears and groans-they will
emphatically reply NO.
We have made out clear, indiSputable
case against ourselves though we
cannot alter the past. it is not too late to
retrace our steps and set our feet in the
right direction. For once in the way let US
be men! Men in the truest, broadest sense
of the term! Let us first have the courage
to acknowledge the error to our own hearts;
we need not necessarily proclaim it to the
world. Then take the next step: mail
our courage to the sticking post" and re-
nOunce our late companions; take our
proper place as the champions of right and
good order; and resume our responsibilities
as the loving, stalwart protectors of those
who are dependent upon us for sustenance,
affectionate care, and mutual, genial COM
panionship. Resolve to maintain, under
all circumstances. the courage of our con-
victiOns." and all will yet be we'll with us
for we shall thereby be able to secure the
goodwill and confidence of all worth know
ing as good citizens and honest men.
