BARRIERS AGAINST CRIME.
PAPER READ AT THE NATIONAL
PRISON CONGRESS BY REV.J
II. ALBERT, CHAPLAIN OF
THE MINNESOTA
STATE PRISON.


did not propose this as my subject.
1t was placed on the program without
my knowledge. 1t is too general, too
comprehensive. for this paper. My
real subject is-One barrier against
crime.
The word crime is verbal 1t in
wolves an act. An act implies an
actor. The actor we call criminal.
Hence, in dealing with crime, we are
dealing with the criminal.
/ shall consider this subject, then,
under these heads: First, who is the
criminal? Second, how is he produced? :?
and Third, the proposed barrier.
Who is the criminal? There is
first the political criminal. But in so
far as his crime is POLITICAL he is not
criminal in the ordinary sense. We
eliminate him from our discussion.
The second is the instructive
criminal One in whom crime is a
natural instinct. One who commits
crime as a fox kills chickens, because
it is natural for him to do so. Just
what proportion of all criminals be-
long to this class, it is impossible to
say. One English writer, from sort
of consensus of opinion, concludes that
about twenty per cent. are. But other
English experts, of perhaps equal au-
thority, claim there are practically
none. That, while there are those born
with predisposition to crime, yet
under proper conditions, they do not
develop into criminals, or may be re-
formed after they have become such
l believe these latter are correct. The
doctrine of instructive criminals has
been carried beyond all reasonable and
unreasonable bounds. 1t belongs tC
the general doctrine of heredity, and
like the whole doctrine of heredity il
has been, until very recently at least, a
scientific fad 1t has been called in tc
account for about everything in human
nature. If a man lied, it was instinc
tive; if he got drunk, or stole, it was
instructive, hereditary. If he got into
the penitentiary some wise-acre came
up, squinted along one side of his head
squinted along the other side, looked

THE TEST.

1t is easy to be good
When life skies are clear and calm;
When the voice of gladnesS drifts
Unaware into psalm;
When. full fed, we sit content
In our gardens fair and sweet;
When temptations pass us by,
And our lives grow full. complete.
When the harp of life is set
To rare strains of melody,
Pleasant now and full of hope
For the time that is to be:
When our lessons are each day
Easy to be understood,
when life'S skies are calm and clear.
Then it's easy to be good.
But the real test is when
Close we hear the battle blare:
When we wreSte. face to face.
With our fOemen. want and care;
When our happy gardens lie
Waste beneath the spoilers tread.
When our toll has seemed for naught,
And our faireSt hopes are dead.
When we feel within us rise
Passions that we thought were slain;
When we find the stalwart tareS
Growing in our field of grain
Then, if patiently we toll,
If temptations be withStOOd.
If we stand and overcome.
Then may we be counted good.

eve are fully convinced that advertis-
ing pays" said one of the firm of Appel &
Schaul yesterday. as he exhibited a letter
from r. N. Harris, Of Tobey, Tex.
The letter was an order for several
suits of DR.. Jaegers' sanitary underwear,
which Mr. Harris had seen advertised in
the Savannah Morning News. and after
sending for a catalogue, had selected
the style he wanted and had sent the order.
This is not the first direct demonstra-
ton Of the advertising in the Morning
News. Many of them occur. 1t makes
no difference as to distance, the value
of the business bringing announcements
are all the same.
This order, from far away Texas, is only
sample of the advantages of publicity
given through a leading medium, and the
results Of judicious advertising by an en-
terprising business house.

solos, duets and recitations, and ending
with a laughable farce. An enjoyable
evening is assured to all who attend.

TO HAVE AN AGENT IN PARIS.
The Plant system VIII shortly De
Represented in the ola Country.

The Plant system VIII Shortly De
Represented in the ola Country.
The latest departure in railroad circles
is the new move to be made by the Plant
system. or that department of its serv-
ice of which Col. B. W. Wrenn is at the
head. The Plant system will reach out its
arm and make a bid for European BUSH
ness direct, and to this end Col Wrenn
has already secured an office ION the
continent"
The new agent of the Plant system will
be located in Paris. France. Col Wrenn
has already entered into a contract to Sc
cure the Office in that European city, and
he has his agent in view, but on ac-
count of the fact that full arrangements
have not yet been completed he is not
ready yet to make the name of the ap-
pointee public. The agent, however. Will
be taken from the employees of the Plant
system, and win be one with an extensive
knowledge of the Land of Flowers.
The object of having a passenger agent
in Paris is for the purpose of dissemlnat-
ing information and advertising matter
about Florida, and the Plant system hotels
and steamship lines to Cuba. He will have
large oil paintings of the Tampa Bay and
Seminole hotels made for the office which
he has secured, and he will make complete
arrangements to thoroughly advertise this
section OF the United States in the old
country.
Col. Wrenn says that there is a de-
sirable class of French tourists, as we'll
as those from neighboring countries, COM
ing to this country every year, and there
is no reason why many Of them should
not come to this section. The Plant sys-
TEN owns more than a million acres of
land in Florida, and through this agency
is on the outlook for permanent settlers,
as we'll as for the passing tourist travel.
When this agency is established this will
probably be the only line, with the ex-
ceptiOn of the Pennsylvania railroad, that
has an agency in Paris. The movement
IS in the way of an innovation, and the
results of it will be watched with interest

FOR LANDsBERG's PARDON.

lie Is Working as "a Tailor ut the
ChattnhOOchee Brick Co.'s Camps.
Quite a strong effort is being made by
friends and relatives to secure the pardon
Of James Landsberg. who was sent I'D to
the penitentiary from the superior court
of this county for term of twelve years,
on charge Of rape, his alleged victim
being Leila White.
Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Hermann of Ma
con, sisters of Landsberg. have been to
Savannah within the last day or two in
behalf of their brother and through their
efforts and those of friends. quite a petit
ton has been gotten up, urging Gov. At
kinson to grant him pardon. They have
been to see Solicitor General Fraser and
Judge Falligant with regard to the mat
ter. 1t is understood, and are going to
use every effort to secure his release.
Among the names Of friends and others
signed to the petition are those of the
twelve 1urymen who convicted him, and
who state that in their opinion his punish
ment has been sufficient and they recon-
mend his pardon. The fact that such an
effort was being made. was published in
the Morning News several DAYS ago. IL
seems now that they have been success
full in getting up quite a strong petition
TO present TO the governor.
Landsberg is at the camps of the Chatta-
hoochee Brick Company. about six miles
from Atlanta, and has now been confined
there about three years. He is one OF the
tailors of the camp, and spends his time
in making and mending clothes for his
fellow convicts. His friends have always
maintained that he was innocent of the
crime with which he was charged. and
since the present movement to secure his
pardon has begun they have much hope
that it will eventually result in his re-

and Lane Department..
Mr.. John c. Cross has been removed
from the position of assistant superinten-
dent of the street and lane department
and Mr.. Robert Hunt appointed in his
stead. Mr.. Patrick Buttimer has been
appointed inspector of sewers. Both
places were formerly filled by Mr.. Cross.
The latter has accepted a place as fore
man with Messrs. NJ. T.. Lewman & Co..
who are building the new Citizens Bank
building.
1t is believed that Mr.. John Fitzgerald
will be allowed to retain his position as
Superintendent of the street and lane de-
pratment. Considerable pressure to this
er / has been brought to bear by Mr.. Fitz-
gerald's friends without regard to politi-
cal affiliations. Mr.. Fitzgerald has the
reputation Of being one of the most faith
full and efficient servants of the city. His
knowledge of the location, size and grade
of all the different sewers and water pipes
of the. city, gained by long experience, is
recognized as valuable to the city and it is
on these grounds that his retention has
been urged.
