WHICH SHALL IT BE !

The people generally are disposed to
like Gov. Flower. He is looked on as Il
kind hearted, humane man They do not
like Brockway. He is tyrant and a
brute
one Of these two must go. II ought not
to be Gov. Flower. 1t ought to be Brock
way.
The Governor has the decision In his
own hands. The people would not re-
elect any Governor who would. for any
reason, nllow Brockway to remain in
Office and to practise his inhuman tor
lures on the helpless prisoners under his
charge. They are not to be caJoled by
any pretense of want OF power, They
know that the Governor OF the state can
get rid of such an Objectionable public
officer II he really desires to do so. ana
they know that Gov. Flower has resolu-
tion and pluck enough to act II he deems
II proper to do so. What excuse can he
make that Will satisfy the public II he
refuses to carry out the popular will In
this matter?
The removal of Brockway ought not
to be delayed single hour after the
eight days grace accorded to the man
ayers OF the Reformatory have expired.
But that Is not all Gov. Flower Is
called upon to do. II he performs his
duty, he must remove the managers also.
1t is n farce and an outrage as well to
keep such men in office when they have
the power under the law TO appoint
Brockway's successor.
The whole bad lot ought to go.

What Is the Soul?

To the Editor:
Concerning the soul. I beg leave to offer the
following: ''And the Lord God formed a man Of
the dust OF the ground and breathed into his
trils the breath OF life. and man became q living
soul."-Gen. H., T. The soul, then is the living
man. While the breath Of life is In the nostrls
man lives, and when the breath Of life leaves the
nostrils man dies. ''Then shall the dust return
to the earth as It was, and the spirit shall re-
turn unto God. who gave It. t'"-Eccles. Kill. 2.
The breath OF life breathed into the nostrils Of
that which God made Of the dust of the ground
made a living soul-that, and nothing more, SO
far as Is taught In the Bible. God gives man the
breath OF life, and man lives; Sod takes away
the breath OF life. and man dies. Thou takest
away their breath; they die and return to their
dust "-Psalms CIV. 90 The word soul has
reference to the individual at times. as In Lev.
vii, 20, 81. rs, as well reference to the life
OF the Individual. as in Matt xvi, rs. 20. Now.
cannot find that there is anything to man but the
body and the breath of life that is in the body.
Perhaps some Of the readers OF THE Evening
World nnd other passages OF Scripture On
the subject. and will kindly help me out.

WHAT is THE REASON!

A maternal government, that teaches
the people to depend on the Government
ana not on themselves for support, IL
nn evil. But n malcvolcnt government.
that protects and fosters favored Inter
ests and enables them to prey upon the
public, Is n much greater evil,
The protection of the people against
the tyranny and greed of corporations
made powerful by the strength OF com
bined capital Is one of the most impor-
tnnt duties OF good government. 1t IL
especially needed when the cost Of the
ncCcs aries Of life are affected by the
combine. either directly or indirectly.
When the coal monopoly put up the
price Of anthracite coal without any JUS
tihcation and restricted the output in
order to hold the consumers at It's
mercy there was such general outcry
against 1t that the law had to interfere
for the public protection. But what
kind OF protection has been secured?
Nominally the combination was over
thrown. But the price OF coal continued
exec .sivc. and to-day that article of alb
solute necessity is made to yield an un-
due profit, competition is abolished and
the combination Is as complete and MS
effective as ever.
Indeed for some cause. the enCroach-
ments OF monopolies seem to be bolder
and more confident than ever. What Is
the rcason' Is the Government sup
posed to he just now the champion OF
corporations and Trusts? All the people
know is that the price of coal Is ms high
az ever. Is steadily on the rise without
any reason but the greed OF the "com.
bne." and that the consumers, and es-
pecially the poor. are the sufferers.
