An Optic reporter spoke to Chief JUS

not come to this territory to make friends
with thieves and convicts. This reply of

speed this is. 1t IS nearly forty miles an
hour-a rate averaged by very few of our
fastest railway trains. There are $3.50 feet
in mile. so that for every one of these
ninety five seconds-for every beat of a
mans pulse wonderful horse covered
fifty.five and three-tenths feet of ground.
The shortest space of time noted by the
turfman's watch is quarter of a second
an interval so brief that the eye can hardly
observe. the mind can hardly appreciate it.
Yet in every one of those 3s2 quarters of a

ity in collecting gossip and scandal, but his
severest satire is reserved for their com
ments and criticisms. He says:
blind themselves these erring guides hold out
Alluring lights to lead us far about"
We lash the press when we know we
ought to lash ourselves.
The newspaper reader. for one or an
other reason. regards crime as important
news because he is full of morbid curiosity
regarding whatever is abnormal in human
conduct. A crime is something strange and
fascinating because passions play through
it, and secret places in human life are un
covered by it. 1t interests us because we
are human, with strange forces of evil CON-
ing up now and again into consciousness
and suggesting brotherhood to the thief and
the murderer. Many man reads in story
of detalcatiOn things he has himself done
without being found out. Many woman
reads in the story of a murder. passages
from her own life where she also might
have taken the fatal step beyond the lines
of safety. Try as much as we may. we can
not divest ourselves of the curiosity and the
unconscious sympathy which makes us look
over the crime record with more interest
than we give to any other part of news
paper.
The newspapers are reprOached for pub
fishing all about crimes; but the average
reader. perhaps we might say the best read
er. peruses even the details with absorbing
interest. He may be ashamed OF himself
for his curiosity, but he has the curiosity.
The fact is not complimentary to us. For
the reason just given, the remedy for the
daily feast of passion and blood is not an
easy one to find. A newspaper needs great
merits to be able to omit the crime record;
and though it should be accepted without
that record, many subscriber Of it would
look for the record elsewhere. The remedy
is difficult because the public has to cure it.
Self-the newspaper cannot cure it-Of the
desire to know 1.-The evil that is in the

and sympathies We must be great deal

which breaks through the calm surface of
life and rises into billow of crime. 1t is
true that the curiosity may be educated out
of us-not entirely, but in large degree
and yet it is also true that we do not dis
play any serious desire to be so educated.
We want this kind of news. We want to
know at least the motives of the crimes,
how they were committed; whether they
were punished or not. The newspaper may
give us these outline facts discreetly and
briefly, but the mass of us will secretly
hunger for more. The moral of the bust.

A little retrospect of politics Just no "
is very interesting and ought to be in
structive.
In 1898 New York voted for Repub-
lican candidate for president, and the
cry was that high tariff carried the state
for the Republicans. In 1891 the same
state goes wildly Democratic, and the
reason given is that tariff reform is gam.
ing ground.
Now for Ohio. In 1850 that state
elected Democratic governor, and the
cry tariff reform is gaining ground"
rang over the land. Now, 1891, the
Republicans win the fight, and high
tariff and protection is on a boom" is
what the public hears.

have women and girls had such op-

present time.
Never have women been so banded
together to help one another as to day;
and never has 1t been so important that
girls should do conscientious and
thorough WORK as now, tnat they may
hold all the advantages that have been
gained for them. and that others may

The world so abounds with beauty,

The capacity of sorrow belongs to

Disappointment first comes in life to
the baby who has horn given it for
