often leads to the cOmmittal of serious
crimes. The efforts of the authorities
to make teetotalers of the Indians and
of those temporarily residing with
them, have proved futile or nearly so.
Every community has its good and bad
people, and the Indian Territory is no
exception to the rule. They have their
rough sports and diversions, and on
such occasions something of stimu
lating nature to add zest to the amuse
ments is much sought after by the
average resident, be he Jew or Gentle,
and even good old deacons and pillars
of the church are not averse to modi-
cum of the prohibited liquor; so that
while wise statesmen are devising
ways to keep whisky out of the ter
ritory, the brains of the perverse por-
tion of the community are at work to
devise plans to evade the law. The nat
ural consequences are, that the re-
straint cast over the whisky traffic has
been noticed only as suggesting pru-
dence in modes of conveyance and
skill in lodging the officers of the law.
BY recent act of congress the maxi
mum penalty for introducing is fixed at
five years imprisonment. There is
neither sense nor justice in this law.
1t is not severity but certainty of pun
ishment that checks crime nowadays.
That, of course is impossible under
existing conditions. 1t is one thing to
prohibit and quite another to prevent
one from getting liquor so long as it is
manufactured and men are free to
come and go when and where they
please. However worthy the motive
may be that prompts Uncle Sam to try
to make Indians total abstainers, when
liquor is so plentiful and saloons SO
near the reservation, his logic is about
the same as the father who breaches
temperance to his children but is him.
self drunkard. Example does more
than precept to mold the character o!
men. The law herein referred to has
some merit, but so long as the man
, ufacture, sale and use of liquor is per
, mitted in other localities it will con
tinue to be violated despite the vigi
lance of officers or the severity of the
t sentence imposed upon conviction.

prisoners who had been assisted by the
Neuchatel society only six had fallen.
A year later of 264 discharged pris-
oners who had been aided only ten had
been reconvicted, in 1892 only fifteen
of 800. In the canton of Geneva of 1876
condemned men whom the society of
that canton had aided only seventeen
received new cOndemnatiOns. 1t is
doubtful whether any prison in any
state in America can show equally
gratifying figures. Similar expert
ences have been had in England, where
the work of prison reform has been
very slow but where it is now going on
with gratifying success. These prison
aid societies in England, France and
Switzerland are much more numerous
than in the United States. Their sue
cess ought to prompt similar organiza-
tions in every state in the Union, if tho
prime motive of the punishment of
criminals is to be carried out.-Cincin-

TIMELY RESISTANCE,

There is one kind of courage much
needed among us, and which is happily
on the increase, that of resisting those
social Observances which have ceased
to bring either pleasure or profit to
those who maintain them. They are
often defended on the ground that if
not useful, they are at least harmless;
but this is only plausible delusion.
Whatever fails to bring good of any
sort forfeits its right to exist. If in no
other way, it is injurious by simply OBJ
structing the path, which, if left clear,
might be put to some worthy use. But
most of the social arrangements which
have become valueless have also gath
cred about them positive evils which
are seldom fully estimated. For ex-
ample, those social gatherings which
merely draw together large numbers of
people, where eating and drinking and
desultory talk are the main resources,
generally entail positive evils, such as
expense, trouble and care, more or less
severe, on the part of the hosts, and
fatigue, loss of time and certain
amount of polite deception, on the part
of the guests. When to all this is
added the time, thought and money
spent on uncomfortable dress, the loss
of health from late hours and irregular
living, and the subsequent diminution
of power which must follow such ex
elements, we can hardly call them
innocent, even while admitting thei1
futility.
To large extent, those evils are be-
ing corrected by advancing intelli
gence. The idea sometimes pleaded
that if such gatherings were abandoned
social intercourse would cease, is los
ing ground. 1t is found that if people
can be brought together with mutua

DON'T LEAN OUT OF PLUMB.

Did you ever observe in your rambles about
The political scenes of the day,
How often refOrmers engender doubt
By their overpunetiliOus way?
Their censorship always reminds me of those
Who beneath my inspection have come,
Attempting to strike magnificent pose,
Have O'erdOne it to lean out of plumb.
They lean too far back, and, in fact, become
bent
Most foolish the posture they take
And instead of expressing their upright intent
They lead you to fear they may break.
They wish you to feel that they're honest and
And not at all crooked or dumb,
Yet there they will stand with their eyes to the
skies
And unconsciously lean out of plumb.
In trade or religion, in politics, too,
If our rectitude we would disclose,
Stand modesty forth TO the popular view
And don't try to strut or to pose.
For ofttmes our eagerneSs may be too great
At least it has happened to some
And our efforts to tower in matters of state
Dwarf all chance as we lean out of plumb.

WHISKY IN THE INDIAN
TERRITORY.

All intoxicating liquor is prohibited
in the Indian Territory, and "whisky
introducing" has been contrary to law
ever since the territory became the
home of the five civilized tribes, but
beer, hop-tea, and several other un-
wholesome drinks were not prohibited
until quite recently. The United
States courts having jurisdiction in
the territory are empowered to pros
ecute all persons regardless of color,
creed. sex or citizenship who bring
whisky into the territory, and the
Indian courts mete out punishment
only to such offending members of
their respective tribes as do not get
caught by the United States author
ities-this applying to whisky cases
only. At the beginning of a term of
court-either of the United States or
Indian-the grand jurors are especial
ly admonished to inquire into all
charges of whisky introducing, and as
the mandates of the courts are en-
forced by heavily armed men of un-
questioned bravery it would appear to
be such foolhardy thing to do that
no one would attempt this particular
violation of the law, but glance at
the court records show quite the con-
trary to be the truth. At each term of
court men, and not infrequently wom-
en-, too, are sentenced to Imprisonment
in the jails and penitentiaries for this
offense. About fifty per cent. of the
cases tried before these courts are for
violation of the whisky law, and it
would perhaps be safe estimate to
say that twenty-five per cent. of the
remaining cases are for crimes com
mitted while the perpetrators were
under the influence of intoxicants
This is due to two causes, the first
being the extremely vile quality of the
whisky that is brought to the border
states for unlawful traffic in the ter
ritOries, which makes the one who
drinks it crazed rather than intoxicated
The second reason is, that person in
Producing liquor into the territory
knows that he is violating the law an(
that if caught will be compelled to pa.
the penalty of his act, and as the dan
ger of detection is increased the longe
the liquor is kept in his possession, th'
lawbreaker's first care is to hide it, ant
reason and inclination both urge hin
to do this as speedily as possible b,
drinking the liquor. The result is

moderately with comparatively harm
less results is drank to excess and pro

PRESERVE YOUR PAPER.

Did you ever run across an old home
newspaper, say some ten years old or
more? Did it not prove extremely in
teresting as you read its columns of To-
cal news and personal mention? 1t
brought to mind the doings of other
days therein narrated to be looked at
in the clear light of later developments
freed from passions and prejudices OF
these times. The account of the wed
ding of some dear friend recalls the
happy event and the mind follows
out the result up to the present, or
again the mention of some old familiar
friend whom you have not seen for
many year call up pleasant associa-
tions and sets the mind speculat-
ing on what has become of him. AS
you look over its pages the many
seemingly trivial mentions carry with
them a multitude of pleasant and
tender associations and you wonder
that you priced the paper so little at
the time it was first printed when you
find it so full of interest after so many
years. 1t is only when one gets hold OF
some old local paper and views its
panorama of the past and reflects on
what a perfect mirror of local events
the weekly newspaper is, that he be-
gins to estimate its real value as a
recorder of local current history and to
realize how worthy of his support and
patronage is this local collector and re-
cord keeper of the life and dOings of
the community which from week to
week and year to year it so faithfully
pictured. Everyone is eager to read
the local paper and hundreds borrow
the same who ought to subscribe for it
and help to reward those who produce
it. Everyone wants to read about the
births, the deaths, the marriages, the
socials, the parties, the entertainments,
the arrivals or departure of friends
and acquaintance and the hundred
and one things, many of them trivial,
that find their places in the columns OF
the local paper, but having read it, it
is generally thrown aside or loaned to
someone who wants to get the news
without paying for it. This ought
not to be the case. While in point of
literary merit the paper may possess
little value, yet as a recorder of cur
rent life and history of the community
which it is created to serve, it is worthy
of careful preservation, and will in
after years afford as much pleasure as
in the first reading of its pages fresh
from the press. Every intelligent
citizen should esteem it both privi-
lege and a duty to be regular subscrib-
ers to his local paper and give to it all
such local news items as he knows will
be of interest to it's readers, and then
| carefully preserve this weekly record
of events for future perusal, some
things noted in its pages, especially
during exciting campaigns, will look
: quite queer after a period of ten or
more years. Preserve your local pa
