The Idol.


From LoHgmdns Magazine.
Ihave known IL young. I have known II old,
Ihave found an Idol OF purest gold:
And yet there has always come day
When saw that the idols feet were clay.
OF purest gold was fashioned the rest,
In that one Idol loved the best
And ah that there should be this TO say,
You may watch TIL watching outdoes your might
Never the gold Ii a whit less bright;
The Idol never shall lose a ray,
But the feet are clay, the feet are clay.
I had counted. half knowing, the cost before;
+" II only the Idol Is mine to ADORE"
cried, at Ii naught II the trumpets bray
That the feet are clay, the feet are clay.
" II the thunder's voice should hear Il afar
That the Idol Is what all idols are:
II take them for gold. what matters 10, pray,
II the feet OF the idol are only clay ?"
And yet the news one day must come
with tune OF harp or rattle OF drum.
In strife OF squadrons, on mOonlit bay,
That the feet after all are nothing but clay
Let the people tell It. and let them repeat
what tales they like OF the IDOLS feet,
To this assurance my life I'll hold,
That the idols heart Is OF purest gold.
worshIpper must be brave and wise,
Ths S".d na dsS Sn ssn fah IL re- psIe au
That the feet OF our idols are always clay.
Let them see the truth for the truths own sake,
They shall know It's q foolish tale IL told
That even the feet are OF aught but gold.
Let the blind but open their eyes to the light,
Nay, let them truth In their visions OF night,
So shall they an Idol fashioned behold
Through and through OF the purest gold.

WHY EDITORS BECOME
SKEPTICS.

One of the greatest trials of the
profession is that it's mem
bers are compelled to see more of the
sham of the world than in any other
profession. Through every newspaper
office, day after day, all the wickedness
of the world, church chickering's, all
vanities that want to be repaid and all
the mistakes that want to be corrected,
all the dull speakers who want to be
thought eloquent, all the meanness
that want to get it's wares noticed gra-
tbs in the editorial columns in order to
save the tax of advertising columns;
all the crack-brained philosophers
whose stories are as long as their hair
and as gloomy as their finger nails in
mourning because bereft of all soap,
all the bores who come to stay few
minutes but stay hours. Through the
editorial and reportorial rooms all the
fOllies and shams of the world are seen
day after day and the temptation is to
believe neither God nor man nor
woman. 1t is no surprise to me that
in this profession there are so many
skeptical men. l only wonder that
journalists believe anything.-Talmage

written that poverty and its attendant
miseries drive many men to crime, and
the view that general increase of
wealth is stimulant to crime is con-
trary to the popular idea. Mr.. Lea
quotes from an authority who asserts
that every rise in the rate of wages is
followed by an increase of offenders and
that the prisons are never so full as in
a period of general prosperity and
abundant work.
This state of facts may exist and yet
not prove that prosperity is cause of
crime-it may be mere coincidence
which does not prove cause and effect.
The man with home and good wages
is far removed from the incentives to
crime, and prosperous times always in
crease the number of home-owners
among the laboring classes. While gen.
eral wealth may not be productive of
rapid moral development, it is restraint
to that form Of immortality that ap-
pears in police courts and on criminal
dockets. Refinement, that almost in
variably negatives the criminal impulse
is the attendant of prosperity.

and decent ways of living. But they
are [often] so degraded, or so crooked
and distorted, that they can only be
raised and Strengthened by severe and
persistent discipline. There must be
applied to them the rules that made the
athlete, that make the soldier, that
make the trained scholar. And this
will not come about with perverted be-
ings who have little power of will by
voluntary effort. They must be COM
PEELED into new habits, and this compul-
sion implies the authority to use force
at times. The sentlmentalist cannot
conceive of any reform based upon the
physical power to enforce discipline
that is, the discipline that shall change
habit and character.

The police complain that Special
Judge Winje is too liberal in his con-
struction of the law as applied to po-
lice court cases and that, therefore, it
is not as easy to secure conviction of
the petty criminals as they think it
ought to be. They even go so far as to
call him an anarchist because he does
not apply the law to suit them; and it
is reported that Judge Himebaugh
will be instructed to move his court to
Duluth to relieve Judge Winnie from
duty as special judge. Policemen as a
rule seem to consider that the arrest of
a man should be sufficient evidence of
his guilt and that their duty is not
done until he is convicted. A police
mans interest in the case of prisoner
should end with the giving of evidence
upon which the charge is based; and it
will end there if he is not one who is
too ready to exercise his brief author
ity at the cost of liberty to his fellow
man. Among people who are at all
acquainted with the police court prac-
tice this complaint against Judge
Winje reflects credit upon his official
recOrd.-West Duluth Sun.

THE STATE CRIME RECORD.

The state prison census of June 80
shows that the prison population then
was $50, as compared with 1888 on
June 30, 1893. The number of state
convicts on that date was 554, as com.
pared with 1913 on June 30, 1898. The
number of petty convicts in jails and
warehouses; was 242, as compared with
5O7 on the same date last year. In
Hennepin county the number of petty
criminals serving sentences was 40 on
June 80, 1894, compared with 148 same
date in 1893 and III same date in 1892.
In Ramsey county the number incar-
cerated June 80 was 10, as compared
with 1875 in 1893 and 116 in 1892. The
showing for Hennepin is decidedly
good as compared with Ramesy, and
also St. Louis countys record of 90 in
1894, 90 in 1898 and "a in 1892.
Generally, in years of panic and COM
mercial depression. the crime statistics
show large increas of commitments
and, notable, of pettey criminals. The
causes for such decrease may be at
tributed, perhaps, to some extent to
the tractive power of Coxeyism, which,
since March, drew not few tOughS
away from the state. Another cause
is probably the closing of good many
saloons, bankrupted by the hard times.
For, Notwithstanding the general be-
lief that the saloon business is very
profitable in hard times, that has not
proved to be the case during the last
troublous year. Everywhere the saloon
business has been affected adversely
by the stringency. There is no little
indication Of this in the decline of the
free lunch system. The purchasing
power of the people who have been
accustomed to take several glasses of
beer each day has been curtailed, and
they find it necessary to put what
money they have in food for them.
selves and their families. There must
of course. be some credit given to the
people for their growth in the virtue
of abstention, the progress of temper
ance principles.
Now that the record shows such q
decrease of petty crime commitments
it will be we'll to improve upon it from
hencforth. There is large advantage
to taxpayers in the reduction of ex
penses for crime, and they are deeply
interested in minifying the known
stimuli to me.-Minneapolis Jour

CAUSES OF CRIME,

Henry Charles Lea discusses in the
August Forum the causes of the uni
versal increase of crime. AS might
naturally be expected he assigns the
first cause to the marked increase in
the consumption of Intoxicating liquors.
Not only is this the direct and first
cause of crime, but he shows that Al per
cent of a certain number of convicts
were the offspring of drunken or intem-
perate parents.
This will be more readily accepted,
remarks the Chicago Record, as reason
for the increase of crime than will his
second cause, which he designates as
the increase of wealth. 1t has been the
theory upon which much has been
