ENCOURAGING CRIME.

There are many theories as to how
crime spreads and what encourages it.
There is much talk about inherited de-
pravfty and the duty of society to look
with some Indulgence on criminals as
they are not wholly responsible for
their acts. 1t is really a question whe-
Their such theories do not do far more
do or not, there will be no two opin-
ions as to the effect that such adver-
tisements as the following have in en-
couraging crime:
Agents for the Life of Holmes, the
arch fiend who confessed to q MUIR
ders; price 25c.; quick seller; big pro-
fits"
That is the advertisement of Gin
cinnati firm and appears in Pittsburg
paper. 1t correctly describes Holmes
as an arch fiend, but it is safe to say
that this life" pictures him as a hero,
a hero of the criminal class to be sure,
but still hero. The readers of such
books ais these are usually young boys
whose imaginations are fired by them
They recognize the hero but fail to see
the great criminal. And another thing.
a proper sense of right and wrong,
high moral and ethical standard are
things that young boys do not have
without careful cultivation. Such books
as this life of Holmes are calculated
to undermine the work of years of
training of young people. No parent
with a proper sense of responsibility
would permit such a book in his house
and would as soon think of placing a
cup of poison before his children as
such book.
1t is net unlikely that there will be
thousands and thousands of this life
sold. Is it to be wondered at that the
United States lead the world in homi-
cides and murders when such direct
encouragement to crime is given
by circulating among the people
the lives of murderers and highway
men?

where Mathematics Failed.

The story told by a New Haven cor
respondent of the Evening Post of the
locating of a meteor by Prof. H. A. New
ton of Yale, from data obtained from a
chance photograph of the meteor's fight,
recalls to the Hartford Courant another
story recently related hereabouts by a
Yale graduate This young man. when a
student occupied q room in Divinity hall
One night he undertook with a top rife
to hit one of the lights on the campus.
His aim was poor and the ball passed
through the window of an eminent and
venerable professor of science (not Prof
Newton} and embedded itself in the wall.
This was the opportunity for the, pro-
fessor and for science. He, too, set to
work and computed the curve and with
the exact skill of infallible figures he
traced the ball right back to the room
of an innocent colleague, who didn't even
know the rifle had been fired. The I'M
fedged minister fatty denied all know
ledge Of the affair. But men, even min
listers, have been known to make denials
in self-defence, and the professor had the
proof with him. There was the bullet,
there were the marks of its course, and
there was the computation worked out.
1t looked as if a pulpit career was to be
nipped in the bud. But the guilty stu
dent heard what was going on. He
called on the professor, confessed the
offense, pointed out that the man of sci
ence was 200 feet out in his compute
ton. and advised that the matter be
dropped right where it was. And that
was done. New York Evening Post.

Last Sunday Rev. E. L. Watson,
pastor of the Hennepin avenue M. e,
church of Minneapolis, preached a
sermon to cyclists upon the subject,
1.-The Gospel for Wheelmen." He
chose for his text Ezekiel, C. 10, V. Is:
LAS for the wheels, it was cried unto
them in my hearing, o wheel" That
sounds like a very appropriate text,
and the reverend gentleman preached
very good sermon, though the choice
of his text, and the use he put to it.,
looks very much as if he had an eye
to notoriety and popularity as well as
to heaven Said he: The wheel is
here 1 accept it. 1 am inclined to be-
lieve that it is not a fad, but that it
has come to stay; If there is one
thing that makes it popular it is that
it gives the individual independence of
movement. Man has become cosmo-
politan. There may come a time when
he may fly; it is not impossible, and
should not be. But until that time,
let us abide by the wheel"
One might gather from this that he
had been presented with a wheel. He
was not; he merely accepted the fact
that the wheel has become a part of
our daily lives.
Having chosen a text from Ezekiel,
and made the bicycle his theme, it is
strange he had nothing to say about
the bicycle face about which there have
been so many comments. If the wheel
spoken of in verse IS of chapter 10,
can be construed into a reference to
the bicycle, then surely the next verse
has reference to the bicycle face, for
it is there said that Every one had
four faces; the first was the face of a
cherub, and the second face was the
face of a man, and the third the face
of a lion, and the fourth the face of
an eagle There is no reference to
the face Of the bicycle girl in bloom
ers.
And the cherubim took their wheels
with them, just like the modern cy-
clists, for when the cherubim went up
from the earth, when they went out,
Ezekiel says ''the wheels also were
beside them
On these matters the Rev. Mr.. Wat
son did not touch, but he preached a

PRESIDENT ELIOT AND THE G. A. R.

President Eliot of Harvard univer-
sity has the very happy faculty of
saying what he means and saying it
in the best of English. Coupled with
this happy faculty is a high moral
courage. He never hesitates to
speak right out in meeting" At
the recent arbitration congress in
Washington he spoke out in this man
ner and denounced jingoism in I'M
measured terms. It is a thing that
needs denuncia ton. He had been de-
scribing the state of affairs in Europe
and then characterized jingoism as
follows;
Can anything be more offensive to
the minded, industrious, labor
ious classes of American society than
this doctrine of jingoism. this chip-on
the-shoulder attitude, this attitude of
a ruffian and bully? For that is just
what jingoism means, gentlemen,
coupled with brutal and despotic
mannerism, which naturally exists in
countries where the government has
been despotic or aristocratic, and
where there has always been an enor-
nous military class, but which is alb
solutely foreign to American society.
To this it appears that some Grand
Army officers took exception. The
speech was criticised as unpatriotic,
and it was a severe arraignment of
President Clevelandis Venezuelan pol
icy To this criticism Mr.. Eliot de-
clines to make reply, saying he will
not concern himself about it at ALL
declaring it IS about as fair as one
can expect from men who are always
looking for an opportunity to pass adj
verse criticism upon public speaker
views of what they call patriotism.
When he says, "Such an organization
as the Grand Army are constantly
seeking an opportunity to parade their
patriotic criticism" he plainly shows
that he felt the force of the criticism,
if he did MT acknowledge it's just
ness
Patriotism is not confined to college
presidents or Grand Army men, or to
any special class, while most of the
definitions that are framed of it are too
narrow. 1t is as broad as the country
and far broader than the ideas of any
one class.

THE TARIFF NOT A LOCAL AFFAIR.

The recent unwilling of the statue of
General Hancock in Washington re-
calls to the Atlanta Journal the fact
that he was the Democratic candidate
for president in $780, and this in turn
recalls to it General Hancock's remark,
The tariff is a local question, after
ALL" On this remark the Journal COM
ments in this language:
Some inconsiderate persons were dis
posed to ridicule this remark at first,
but its truth and wisdom are now very
generally admitted. Anyone who has
witnessed the preparation of a tariff
bill or a tariff debate in congress can
appreciate the completeness of Han
cocks definition.
That remark did more than any
other uttered by Hancock to defeat
him. 1t was a surprise to all that he
should have taken so narrow view
of the tariff II is surprising that the
Journal should look upon this question
in such a light If this tariff question
were in reality local one then it could
be settled locally. 1t is absurd to say
that any question is local that engages
the thoughts of all the people and
which divides them into two camps.
And this the tariff does. Moreover, it
is question that congress acts upon
and as it acts affects the whole nation
one way or the other. 1t is a thing
that decides the national policy as to
raising revenue, which encourages or.
discourages foreign commerce, which
builds up the interests of the people or
those of the trusts or monopolies as the
theory of low or high tariff pre-
walls. Local affairs are affected by the
tariff but they are affected through it
as national policy.
In it's fight for sound money" the
Journal has lost its sound ideas as to
what a tariff policy really is.

very good sermon. and he preached
common sense and Coos truth when
he said:
THE Sabbath was made for man.,
and not man for the Sabbath. What
can the wheel do of good for man on
the Sabbath? 1t can help him to grow
in body and to worship the divinity in
nature by giving him an opportunity of
getting at nature. L have heard of a
few young men, shut UP all the week,
who have been advised by their pastor
not TO come out on their wheels on
the Sabbath. But I would advise such
young men to get out, and get in
touch with the freedom and beauty of
nature. I tell you it is a sin the way
modern cities are built, with all breath
ing places shut out. Let us make it
as easy as possible for our citizens to
visit the country"

Mrs. Carlisle, wife of the secretary of
