Our Brothers Keeper.

After all, we are our brothers keep
ers, though Cainic society has been
denying it ever since the first murder.
We are put into one anOther's custody
in this world; here, where so many
things are in doubt, this is unques-
tionable. Up to the present time our
notion of custodian has been some
sort of jailer. Society really provides
no other for the weaker brethren. We
imprison people whom we find wander
ing about without home; we i'm
prison utter poverty; we imprison
hopeless misfortune. We may not all
of us think that a very fine thing; but
we have to draw line somewhere, and
if we are brought to book about it, we
shrug and ask, what are we to do?
Are we to give tramps decent lodg-
ing? Are we to secure to poverty the
means of livelihood? Are we to sue
cor misfortune without shutting it up
and putting it to shame?
These questions, which are of our
own asking, must be of our own
answering. 1t is not that misery is
growing, but that it is growing in
tolerable, if not to the sufferer, then to
the witness. We have come a certain
way toward humanity, and it seems to
be the parting of the ways. One path
will lead us onward to the light, the
other will lead us roundabout and
back to the darkness we came out Of.
In this age man denies the claim of
humanity with much greater risk to
himself than formerly. He is in dan
ger of truly becoming a devil; not the
sort with horns and hoofs and forked
tails, who were poor harmless fellows
at the worst, but the sort of devil who
acts on the belief that every man must
take care of himself.
That is the belief which society, as a
whole, acts upon now, as far as it can;
but personally we are each more or less
ashamed of it, and reject it more or
less openly. 1t is the rule of business,
but it is not the rule of life; because it
is in the experience of every living
soul that men cannot take care of
themselves.
It is not yet so apparent to us all that
men must take care of one another:
but in the history of the race that is
the most obvious lesson. The stronger
man must take care of the weaker, as
his jailer, on the old lines, and in con-
formity to the ideals of the stone age
in political economy; or else he must
take care of him as his brother.-W. D..
Howells in Century.

that the nation might live; and every
man, woman and child should keep
their memories green by proper and
impressive observance of the day.
Each year the ranks of the living are
decreased and the number of the great
army beyond is increased, and but
few years will have elapsed before all
will have passed to their reward. Now
is the time that the spirit of the day
should be inculcated into the minds of
their children and their grandchildren
by those that participated in the stirring
scenes in order that the coming gen.
erations may not forget what they owe
to their forefathers. Not alone should
the soldiers and sailors graves be dec
Grated on this day, but the custom
should become universal and every
grave in every cemetery receive token
of remembrance. Only thirty years
have gone by since the close of the war,
but already there is tendency to con-
vert the day into holiday for amuse-
ment, and it is only by extending the
idea that the custom Of it's sacred
observance can be perpetuated and the
cause of it's origin be always remem-
bered.

THAT grave abuses have grown up
under the fee system in connection
with the United States courts has been
we'll known fact, but how wide
spread this abuse has become has hard
ly been realized by the people of the
north. In the south, owing to pecul-
lar local conditions favorable to it's
growth, the abuse has assumed such
proportions that the passage of the
bill now before congress for its abol-
ishment and substituting the salary
system will be hailed with joy. How
strong the demand for reform is can
be judged from the following extract
from a report recently made by the
United States grand jury at Purcell,
Indian Territory:
GrOundless charges have been
brought by parties, who for purely
mercenary motives would continue the
un-American practice of Furnishing as
criminals those not yet adjudged guilty
by fastening them away for trial by
foreign courts, before prejudiced
juries, away from their homes where
the poor man be he innocent or guilty
must lay in jail because of the impos-
sibility of giving bond among stran-
gers who are taught to look upon him
only with distrust. This method sa-
vors far more strongly of autocratic
Russia than of free America. We pray
for an end of the despotic reign of the
hungry marshal, who goeth about like
a hungry WOLF. seeking some trivial
case on which to hinge an action that
will insure trip to Paris, Texas, with
its mileage and other fees; we pray for
the day when justice in this country
may be administered in the name of
right and humanity, and no longer be
regarded only in the light of a source
of revenue for horde of hirelings of
foreign court.
We suggest along this line, in proof
of the facts that these officials regard
a public position as private snap, a
comparison of given number of cases
sent to Paris by territory officials with
a like number of cases that are brought
into the home courts of Texas. 1t is
common report that of cases sent to
Paris by commissioners in this terri
tory, only about three in ten are bills
found, while in the home courts of
Texas true bills are found and convic-
tons had in seven out of ten.

MEMORIAL DAY.

ALL over the broad land on this day
the survivors of the greatest struggle
of the century with their sons and
daughters will gather together and
with appropriate services honor their
fallen comrades by bedecking their
graves with the flowers of spring. 1t
is true that only in thirty-seven states
and territories is Memorial Day recog-
nized as legal holiday, four of the
southern states having Memorial Day
at an earlier date, yet there is not a
hamlet throughout this country so
small, whether in the sunny south or
the far north, that has a cemetery
where the old and young will not as
semble to honor the memory of their
heroic dead and leave their floral tokens
on the mounds above those who sacri-
feed all that was dear and precious
even to life itself for principle and
that liberty might be preserved to their
descendants. These graves teach a
silent but eloquent lesson of what duty
and patriotism mean. The present
generation can scarcely realize the sac
rifices made by these dead soldiers
