TheOsOphY Up to Date.

Theosophist Judge has advanced the
idea that the souls of the earths in
habitants once resided on the moon.
He further states that Mars Is at pres
ent uninhabited but thinks in "a few
centuries hence the planet will be ripe
enough to accommodate u colony Of
earthly theosophists.
According to Mr.. Judges ideas, given
at length in the New York Herald, the
moon was ,densely populated many CEN
turtles ago by the present inhabitants
of the earth. Under circumstances
whioh are left to the imagination the
moon went into decline and lost its at
fractions as a dwelling place. The
earth was opened up about this time
and the souls of the inhabitants of fair
luna drifted ear'thward and proceeded

which real estate has been cornered,

II JirgOism, We're Not Sorry.

An incident recently came to our
knowledge that strikingly illustrates
the abject condition of things in
Turkey. Two American women, en-
ployed as teachers in a Christian col
lege for missionaries i'm Constantinople,
recently undertook to convey by mail
to friends in this country description
of the despotic character of the Turkish
government. Their letters We're opened
by the Turkish authorities, and these
teachers instantly carted off to prison,
from which only the earnest interven-
tion of the American consul sufIiced to
liperate them. In the chief cities of
Turkey, where we have legations, Amer
lean citizenship Is sometimes partially
respected; but in the interior towns
and provinces it Is said by travellers to
be as much as ones life is worth to an
nounce that one Is an American.
The government at Washington, ex-
cept at rare intervals, has hitherto re-
garded its diplomatic service, partlcu-
larly in the consular branch, mainly as
an asylum for importunate ward heelers
and clamorous party hacks. These
men, In turn, view their posts In the
foreign consulates principally as head
quarters for fee-grabbing and miscel-
laneous sky-larking. 1t is not much to
be wondered at that foreign represen-
tatives whom their own countrymen de-
spise, except at election time. should
fail to impress the communities tc
which they are accredited with an ex-
alted conception of the dignity and
grandeur of the great American re.
public. In contrast with the trained
diplomats and elegant gentlemen who
constitute the rule in the diplomat tic
service of most European nations, oui
easy-going swashbucklers from the
slums or the rural "deestrlcts" OF
America, we must confess, often cut
very sorry figures.

AS to Capital Punishment.

There is no MISLEADING the fact that
the sentiment which advocates the
abolition of the death penalty as a
punishment for crime is a growing one
in this country: nor is it possible to
overlook the additional fact that its
growth is chiefly among well-educated
and well-meaning people. We recall
among the eminent advocates of such
abolition no name suggestive of other
than a genuine desire to promote the
public welfare and improve upon Il
condition of punishments in which the
spirit of vengeance is quite as con-
spicuous as is the spirit of correction.
The introduction at Harrisburg by Sem
ator Vaughan of a bill proposing this
abolition in Pennsylvania will, what
ever the measures immediate fate per-
form u useful service in stimulating
the discussion of and in educating the
masses with reference to this subject.
1t is not fair to Senator Vaughan to
hold over his head the club of preju-
dice which almost invariably disappears
when this question of punishment for
murder and other high crimes is Sc
rously and thoroughly studied in all
its bearI gs. There is world of diff
ference between the lax condition of law
enforcement which permits criminals
to go free of punishment and the condi-
ton which Is contemplated by those
,t.In ,f
code in accordance with the teachings
of modern science. In the one case
there is open and fragrant contempt
for all law: while in the other, there
is such high respect for the law as
would strengthen it in its weak points.
1t is not open to dispute that the death
penalty, as commonly administered, is
a gross and infiexible form of punish
than deterrent in its influences. We do
not see how any unprejudiced student
can scan the statistics of crime increase
in this country, at the same time bear
ing in mind the constantly emphasizing
efforts of phllanthrophy to improve ex-
listing social and moral conditions, and
reconcile the growth in crime with the
growth in anti-criminal agitation with
out concluding that there are grave
defects in our punitive system.
1t has been the misfortune of the
movement against the death penalty to
attract to its support, from time to
time, men and womdn Of excitable
peraments-persons who. in their
eagerness to remedy a defective system
are not infrequently betrayed into an
undue sensitiveness toward convicted
criminals. The question, is eminently
scientific. 1t is one of mathematical
results not crying out in the behalf of
vicious human brutes, but dispassion-
ately arguing the inefiicacy of the penal
system under which such results are
possible. When it is once understood
that the movement of which Senator
Vaughan Is a local advocate Is not a
crusade of oversensitive sentimental
lists liable to gush over blood-dripping
assassins, but instead cool, scientific
effort to apply to the problem of crime
some more promising solution than le-
galized but undiscriminating venge-
ance, there will be greater popular
willingness to give these reformers a
fair hearing.

gagged In booming Martian real estate
in advance.
Mr.. Judge states that the moon has
not been under a state of cultivation
for many years, and intimates that the
soil does not possess moisture enough
to furnish life to Colorado sage bush.
He neglects, however, to locate numer-
Gus souls that must have been starved
off the moon ages ago and have only
recently arrived upon earth, and others
that may arrive between this and the
period necessary to get the soil Of Mars
up to anything approaching the Dakota
standard for wheat raising.
In view of the remarkable progress
siyeness of Mr.. Judges theories it is
probable that the public will overlook
any little discrepancy of that nature.
and as no one can positively say that
his statements are incorrect it will no
doubt be just as well ito allow the The
osoph.st Moses to have his own way.

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
Wise Compulsory Education.


Scranton Record: Compulsory educa-
ton is an assured fact. Those having
charge of this BILL before it becomes a
law, should remember to provide for deli
cate children and for those who have to
work to support widowed mothers or
parents in need Of their earnings. There
should be exemptions or dispensations
granted to children for sufficient rea-
sons. Proper consideration should be
given to home instruction. If parents pre-
fer TO instruct their children at home
they should be allowed to do so and all
that should be required from such chill
dren should be that they attend an exam
ination which would show whether their
education was being attended to or not
For children who are compelled to work
there should be night schools established
Compulsory education is intended to COM
pei negligent parents to educate their
children. 1t is not meant as source of
annoyance to parents who are endeavor-
ing to properly train their children and
the advocates of the compulsory educa-
ton law should protect such parents.
This can be done by compelling those who
are selected to enforce the law to go to
the homes of the children who are not
attending school and ascertain the cause
of their absence and find out if the pa
rents know that their children are not
going to school. Sometimes children at
tend school and afterward begin to play
truant; their teachers should be compelled
to Immediately notify parents of their
children's absence. Everything like
pounding children, as we do stray cat
tie, should be guarded against. Until
they are proved to be incorrigible they
should be treated with consideration and
everything done to ascertain who is at
fault, the parents or the children"

Inconsistent Opposition.

From the Courier-Progress.
The Truth has had another paroxysm
of rage on account of the introduction of
the compulsory education bill, and rel
ieves itself by emitting over half column
of abusive epithets, but no sound argu-
ments. Truth favored the factory law
which prevents children under 13 years
from working in the breaker and factory
and those under IA from working in the
mines. But 1t is opposed to law that
practically says IL children under u can
not work, rather than have them run the
streets they must be sent to school.

TRAGEDY IN REAL LIFE.

day,
Sought to moralze on great fad
So he wrote Of poor horses with tails cut
away,
And declared that such bobbing was
bad.
But this scribe had boss, or, rather, an
ass,
Who docked his own equines, they say;
And when the poor scribe sought the
cashier alas,
He found he was Bobbed of his pay.

Saturday Evenings Protest.

The sentiment of every well-informed
American citizen Is APPLY voiced i'm the
second resolution unanimously adopted
by the mass meeting held in the Elm
Park church Saturday evening, for the
purpose of protesting against the wan
ton massacre of defenceless Christians
in Armenia. That resolution reads as
follows:
Resolved That the United States gov
ernment be urged to insist upon the priv
ilege of making an independent, unham-
pered investigation Of the alleged atroci-
ties.
When we regard this second resolu-
tion as conveying the gist of awakened
American sentiment with reference to
this subject we do not overlook the
enormity of the massacres themselves,
nor condone the attitude which Turkey
has assumed regarding them. The
tragedy itself is the paramount blot
upon the record of the nineteenth CEN
tury; and every atom of manhood in
the civilized world calls imper!ously for
redress and for future prevention. But
the belief Is strong in us that the most
effective method of procedure for
Americans in this matter is in the di-
rection of stiffening the supine back
bone of their own home government.
The signatory powers of Europe may be
thoroughly competent to deal with Tur-
key effectually, but we do not have
much confidence in their Willingness to
do this. European politics. it seems to
us, is too intricate and too full of cross
purposes 70 convey an advance guaran-
tee that absolute justice shall be metel
out as the result of the labors of the
Armenian commission of inquiry.
We prefer, If it can be brought about,
to trust to an American inquiry. We
have faith, If it can be enlisted, in
Yankee shrewdness, grit and singleness
of purpose. An American inquiry
an unclouded conscience. 1t would go
into the region of the massacres with
out advance complications, and when
it had emerged If current reports should
be verified, the world would get the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth. Most important Of all, the
sending to Armenia of an American
commissioner of the right kind would
be notification to Turkey, for the first
time, that the Christian republic of the
western hemisphere whose citizens Tur-
key has long treated with unrebuked
contempt If not aggressive indignity,
mad reached a period of development
where ccwardly patience had ceased to
be regarded diplomatic virtue and
where, If there should be any more non
sense, something in the vicinity OF
Stambul would soon drop.

The Farr Bill Defended.

Wilkes-Barre Record: 1.-THE opponents
OF compulsory education are not always
fair I'm criticisms of the Farr bill now be-
fore the legislature. Their principal OBJ
lection is that it will deprive aged or Grip
pied fathers, poor widows and depend
ent children of the wages of the boys who
will be compelled to leave the workshop or
the mine and attend school If the bill
should pass. This Is not true. The Farr
bill does not do anything of the kind. A
perusal of It's provisions will clearly
show that II will not in any way bear
heavily upon the class In question. AS Il
matter of fact 1t provides ample protec-
ton for poor people who cannot afford 10
dispense with the wages earned by their
children. The parent who Is honestly de-
srous of sending his children to school
need have no fear of the Farr law. 1t is
only the parent whose greed for gain or
whose unnatural Indifference to the vel
fare of his children prompts him 20 send
them to work or allow them to roam the
streets who needs to fear the operations

ord entirely agrees with the Scranton

Ballot Law Changes.

Letter by Major James Pott in the
Chambersburg Public Opinion 81 read in
the opinion the article copied from the
Scranton Tribune, and your comments
thereon. The Tribune is right in the de-
fects it points out and the Changes II
suggests. The circle at the head of each
ticket should be dispensed with, for the
reason given by The Tribune. The little
square opposite each name on the ticket
should be more plainly defined instead of
being almost invisible as is the case now.
This Is important especially in view Of
the frequent dark booths. AS to the
helpers the law Is very lame, and in
this respect the Iowa law might properly
be adopted. There, no person except tho
person going to vote, is permitted to en-
ter the enclosure or booths. If the voter
certiiles that he is incapable of properly
marking ticket, the law requires that two
of the election officers of opposite politics,
shall go into the booth with him. They
are sworn to absolute secrecy under Sc
we're penalties and are not permitted to
make any suggestion to the voter beyond
simply asking him how he wants to vote
and then show him where to mark, in ac-
cordance with his expressed wish. This
would render unnecessary the two sworn
helpers added to each election board, as
suggested by the Scranton Tribune, and
save that much additional expense. 1t
may be suggested that this would impose
too much work on the election officers and
interfere with their other duties. Such Is
not the case when this prevails and would
not be the case in this state unless II be
| assumed that so per cent. or more of the
Pennsylvania voters needed help The
Australian system Is comparatively new
and in some respects complex, but voters
will soon learn to understand 1t, and but
| little help will be needed. IL there be not
| too many and too radical Changes but
| the two changes suggested by The Trib-
| une seem imperative and would not only
create no confusion, but would greatly
| simplify the new system"

which American diplomacy, for the most
part, enjoys in Europe it is especially
disconcerting to see the American
badge of citizenship abused or sneered
at in land of darkness such as
Turkey. Most of all, it is humiliating
to realize that practice has ordained,
and the present secretary of state law
ishly realized, policy of exquisite in
difference to the opinion of foreign ma
tions with reference to travelling Amer
leans. No Englishman is twice abused
in the same place; for the first offence
on the part of foreign power, if not
promptly righted, is answered by the
thunder of English cannon speaking it's
imperious message from the port holes
of English war ships. But America,
gentle America, wraps itself up in ward
politics and permits it's subjects in
other countries to shift for themselves.

the very interesting annual report of
Mrs. w. ID. Kennedy, read at Fridays
meeting of the association for the

this morning, and it is well worthy of
perusal by every Scrantonian interest

The announcement of the abandon

by friends of this institution as absolv-

the support Of the worthy inmates of

them to increase the measure of their
