IT WILL be Of great interest to
the world to know that consump-
ton, except in it's last stage, can
positively be cured by expert treat
ment in certain climate. A SAN
atorium for this purpose was
erected at Boulder, Colo, a year
ago and the results thus far have
been truly marvellous. This SAN
atorium was not gotten up as a
money-making scheme to bleed
the purse of unfortunates. It is
owned and conducted by a phil
anthropic organization known as
the Colorado Medical, Missionary,
and Benevolent association. It is
now proposed to endow it so that
the thousands Of INDECENT appli-
cants who besiege the management
may be enabled to receive free
treatment. When it is known that
over 100000 people die yearly in
the United States from pulmonary
tuberculosis, it will become ap-
parent that no more worthy object
could appeal to the charitably in
clined. Considerable credit is due
to the Chicago Inter Ocean for the
prominence given to this worthy
cause in the issue Of Monday last.

going on a journey afoot to a dis
tant point you would never think
OF starting out in haphazard way
without knowing the proper route
to take, would you? It would pay
you to go slow, to wait until a
reliable guide would direct your
steps in the proper path. We
have been given brains and con-
science as a mental and moral
guide. But do we refer to them
as often as we should? Had we
been advised by them most of us
would not be in this place. Had
the poor misguided mortals who
will ere long be furnishing and,
mayhap, freezing to death in AL
askan defles, been guided by their
brain rather than their vanity and
greed, many Of them would prob
ably live to be prosperous
in Alaska under more favorable
circumstances. But this is not
the first time, nor unfortunately,
will it be the last, in which judg-
ment has been blinded by greed
and the glare of gold. And this,

the ones who really reap the gold

less this moral instinct is guided
as the intellect is developed it will
retrograde, or be entirely annihil-
ated by the rank growth of animal
passions and appetites which it
was originally ordained should be
subservient to moral control.
Education, in it's full sense, is
the surest antidote for crime. But
the mind and thoughts must be
trained in moral ethics as much so
as in worldly lore. Moral ignor-
ance has ever been the inspiration
to, and abettor Of crime. When
the world fully recognizes this fact
we may hope for a change in the
methods of educating the youth of
our land. In all ages up to the
present the only general interest
in crime or criminals taken by the
public was and is whatever enjoy
ment might be derived from read
ing of their nefarious misdeeds:
isolating them and occasionally
hanging one. No effort was made
to ''cure" crime until a compar-
atively few years ago. Now, how
ever, society is gradually being
convinced that crime may be Grad
icated to great degree by proper
treatment Of criminals. The prin-
cipal means to this end will be in
dispelling the octopus ignorance
by the refulgent rays of moral
education.

The American heiresses who are
undertaking the perpetuation of
scrofula among the rakes of Euro
pean nobility should provide them
selves with a copy of England's
Divorce Laws previous to handing
their fortune and worldly destiny
over to patrician roues. In Eng

rancid as the offscourings of

not desert his wife or become
excessively cruel, the law holds
that she must live with him-yea,
"honor and obey him." But, if
the woman commits the slightest
breach, that is sufficient to pro-
cure divorce, provided HE wants

"Sometimes the characteristic
type of the American heroine of
fiction is vulgar, sometimes cold
hearted, or unkind, or wilful, or
indiscreet, but she is never stupid"
writes ''Droch" in the September
Ladies' Home journal. "That is
the verdict of contemporary OBJ
servers on the American girl.
Whatever she may be or do she
always has her wits about her: she
is smart While her father de-
lights in managing factories, stock
operations, or railroads, she de-
lights in managing men. And in
every kind of fiction which she
dominates the men seem to be
uniformly glad to be managed by
her. Often in fiction she has been
lacking in certain graces- chiefly
the supreme grace of tact. But
there are signs that our novelists
have discovered that the American
girl possesses this grace also, and

SO it happens that today she trails

clothes, and a beautiful face, and

pertinent, remarks there is
developing around her gracious
manner, an unconscious simplicity
that shows itself in consideration
for the weakness of others in adj
dition to that keen knowledge of
their foibles which was always
hers. What we have yet to hope
for is that her wealth or her pov-
erty may be made less obtrusive
and less a significant part Of her
always attractive personality

has himself had an important share
in it for years past. The proven
bal "bad'' man of the mines, it
appears, is unknown on the Klon-
dixie. The miners there enter and
work their claims, settle their dis
putes, and govern their affairs with
out violence or lawlessness. How
they live and how they work is
very simply and honestly told; and
there is some valuable instruction
as to routes, proper equipment, and
the opportunities of the country,
for people who are proposing to
settle there. The article is illus
trated from a series of recent pho
tographs, most Of them hitherto
unpublished.

A GREAT many of us should get

" MAKE HASTE, BUT GO SLOW!o

PARADoxICAL as it may seem to
tell one ''to hurry up, yet not to
rush" no truer sentiment has ever
been expressed. It embodies the
means to the only success that has
ever been achieved. When the
anomalous phrase is examined
closely the simple yet pointed
logic it contains strikes the mark
with telling effect. It is on the
principle of FRY your steak, but
don't burn it,
The author Of this philosophical
aphorism was a man of our own
day, pioneer editor Of this state
and literary worker whose kindly
pen was ever prolific in aiding the
down-trodden. Major 7. M. New
son was a man who could always
see the silver lining to the darkest
cloud. He was the life of every
assembly of his fellowmen in which
he took part, and his pithy say
ings always dubbed over with
true philosophical wit. Yet in all
his writings he never gave utter
ance to a short sentence contain
ing so much sound sense in so
few words as when he said: "Make
haste, but go slowr'
The cause Of a large part Of all
the misery in the world is due to
the headstrong, stubborn manner in
which we rush into circumstances
and conditions of life without Civ
ing the slightest thought to what
will be the requisite changes in
our mode Of living. No better
illustration of this is needed than
the spectacle that daily greets the
reader of Klondike news. People
are turning their every belonging
into cash that they may purchase
passage to the new Gland of prom
ise." They will not give a second
thought to the hardships they are
facing. There is gold in the dis
tance-that is sufficient magnet.
Do they read of the trails thereto
strewn with the bleached bones of
others who made the futile at
tempt at a wrong season Of the
year? No; that does not interest
them. They see the gold: but not
the bones. The men who are
waiting at home, who make haste,
but 60 slow!' will be the ones to
ultimately reap the harvest. Klon-
dixie will be but a metaphorical
repetition of the Waterloo chasm
or roadway that had to be filled
with the bodies of men and horses
to form a bridge that others might
succeed in crossing.
In our ordinary duties of life we
can find no more appropriate guide
than this little apborism. We can

IGNORANCE AS A FACTOR IN
CRIME.

least, SO they claim-that if edu-
cation is to be lauded as a deter
rent to crime it has proven a rank
failure in that crime is presumed
to be increasing abnormally. We
will not here go into any discussion
as to the normal or abnormal in
crease of crime. Admitted that
crime is increasing regardless of
the great progress in educational
facilities, the question naturally
arises: Is education of the CON-
mon-school order improving in it's
moral element? We are CRATE
fully proud of the vast facilities
now open to American children.
The smallest hamlet may now
boast of it's ''little red school
house." But have the changes
and improvements in it's curricu-
lum been made with the object of
training the moral as we'll as the
mental faculties of pupils? Has
as much attention been given to
moral training as to ''Sloyd"-to
manual training?
Leaving such questions to the
intelligent reader, let us see if ig-
norance is not the main factor in
perpetuating crime and degenerate
tendencies. At the present day
the ability to read and write is by
no means an education. There
was a time when the possessor of
such meagre accomplishments was
looked up to as an educated man.
Such time is past, however. In
this age it is next to impossible
for a man to avoid learning these
rudiments. Every man who can
saw board and drive a nail is not
a carpenter. The man who can
barely read and write, and who
possesses no moral training by
which to properly guide these is
no more an educated man than is
the wood butcher" a carpenter.
Statisticians in making their
general reports of crime, assume
that every man who can laborious-
ly sign his name is the possessor
of an "education,' and class him
as such. Now it is we'll known
fact that at least half of the in
mates of penal institutions should
properly be classed as uneducated.
There never was and never will or
can be such thing as education,
without it's concomitant of moral
training. A man may be a gradu-
ate in all the worldly arts taught
in our schools, and yet be moral
ghoul, devoid of all respect for the
rights Of others.
While it is manifest that a
proper moral conception is usually
instructive with the human race,
it is equally we'll known that un-
