Present-Day Thoughts.


\ Prison PrOphecy'-Some peopl,
are born criminals-alasl for the Law
that makes children suffer for the sins
on parenis-and with these society OF
the future will deal as il now does with
the sick and the lunatic, shut them up
until well or until death, if never like
~ to recover. People with inherited
criminal tendencies never understand
Their relation TO society. They always
have a little bee buzzing in their bon
nets that confuses their ideas and
makes them violent and burglarious
without the slightest intention OF do
ing evil. Their natures are so warped.
in fact, that good and evil are not un-
derstOod in their full meaning. good
being rather interpreted as the doing
without detection, evil as discovery
OF wrong after it has been done. Such |
characters learn nothing from being |
shut up nor do they learn anything
from being free, and for them the 2Oth
century will provide houses of deten-
ton where a. pleasantly as possible and
more profitably than if free, the days
and years shall pass, giving some
measure Of physical happiness and
comfort; and at the same time pro-
tecting society from attacks that are
mere impulse, and from the deferred
but lnsidious danger that comes from
people Of decided criminal I
bent to reproduce their kind at will. i

and criminals Of all grades are crowded

new century will not-must not-so

all cases have detention that shall

But we can through sighting the first
reason society gives for its behavior To-.
wards criminals, give fuller attention
TO the second question and ask whether
punishment, as it is at present meted
out, Is a condition that will be allowed
to continue indefinitely? The idea of
furnishing for wrong-doing is probably
right as it permeates all law and all
hearts ancient and MODERN but the
facts in connection with punishment
are too often wrong. At present i'm
most cases the lad or the woman who
has been in Jail comes forth at the end
OF the term of imprisonment only TO
ma that punishment has not ended |
with the prison cell. The criminal i'm
the first place is almost always destitute
az discharge; next he finds that the
prison stigma-like the brand Of Cain
is upon him wherever he is known
and lastly that he is deferred from
honest work by the surveillance Of the
police and the suspicious of those who
with unreasonlng and horribly unjust
bias argue ''Once a criminal always a
" and so hinder him in every
from earning dollar on their
premises, though perfectly willing to
pass him on to some one else TO look I

Let US look the matter squarely in
the face. Society, the organized some
thing that holds us in check i'm so many
different directions, has Just three
reasons for shutting man up-frst,
that society may snugly take it, rest
or go about its business undisturoed.
second, that the wrong-doer shall re-
celve punishment for the wrong he has
committed against his fellows: and
third, that he shall be benefited by his
Incarceration and restored to the walks

1t is not worth while at this time 10
indulge in much sarcasm against the ,
condition Of mind that makes
some Of us think that the people out q
'lde prison walls are all good and the
people inside all bad. Any of us who
hink quietly know that there are stalk

acred bond Of human creatures. has o
iten been called upon to do injustice. II
10 we will pass by the ease-loving ten c
ency of society that makes it Danish a

hat problems are solved by shutting tr t

APOSTLE OF TEMPERANCE"
Close of the Remarkable Career of Fa-
Their Chiniqy.

MONTREAL, January 16-Father
Chiniqy died today. To the end he ad-
hered to the Protestant faith.
Chares Chiniqy, the apostle of tenn
perance,' was born in Kamouraska,
Quebec, July 30, 1909 In 1881 he visit
ed Illinois, and i'm the following year
the village of st. Anne in Kankakee
county, was founded. Father Chiniqy
and his superior, Bishop OReagan, be-
came involved in long drawn disputes
leading to legal action, in which the
former was defended by Abraham Lin
coin. The quarrel was also carried to
Rome and laid before the Pope.
In 1858 the entire village of st. Anne.
with the exception of fifteen families,
withdrew from the Catholic church
and the dissenters later on decided to
unite with the Presbyterian church. On
April Is, 1860, the Presbytery of Chi
cago adjourned its meeting from Chi
cago to st. Anne, where Father Chini-
qy presented the names of nearly 1000
converts, who were received into full
communion.
Father Chiniqy then embarked upon
career, which made him known all
around the world. In 1878 he visited
the western states and afterward he
spent two years lecturing in the antip-
odes In his lecturing tours he expert
enced many exciting incidents and mar
row escapes. For eighteen years he
was kept under bail as a criminal.

ARCHBISHOP Of MANILA
A KINDLY STUDIOUS MAN WITH
A BENIGN FACE.
Has No Bitterness Towards America
and Thinks Annexation Will Prove a
Very Great Benefit.

MANILA, December 2S.-Up in the
walled city, in a great palace of blue
stone, which stands in the shadow of
the cathedral and looks out over the
ancient walls toward the sea, is where
the archbishop lives. The chief en-
trance, which is in narrow street on
the cathedral side of the building, has
deep carved churchly emblems hewn
in the solid rock above the massive
doors, but excepting for these there is
nothing to indicate that within dwells
one of the most conspicuous figures IN
the Philippines. Several guards usual
ly are posted at the doorways, but the
doors are always open in the daytime,
and all who wish to enter may do so.
Once having crossed the threshold, the
noise and clatter of the world dies out
and there comes the quiet peculiar to
all houses of the church. Footsteps
echo on the marble tiles of the zig
vestibule and voices sink to respectful
softness. Up a broad staircase that
divides at landing into two divisions
and the visitor is on the floor where
the archbishop has his private resi-
dence.
He is large man, apparently about
5S years old, with a kind, benign face.
1t was hard to think that he was the
man who wrote the proclamations that
were credited to him before the war
broke out, or that he could ever be in
sympathy with any of the iniuuitous
methods ascribed to a great part of the
priesthood here. He looked like a stu
dious, cultured man of quiet DISPOSE
ton, and had none of that foxy, sharp
and saturnine appearance which many
OF his photographs show him as hav-
ing.
The archbishbishop said that he had
no fear that the church would suffer
by the annexation of the islands to the
united States. On the contrary as far
as the church is concerned, he felt that
the substitution of American for Span
lsh control would be a positive advan-
tage. The archbishop is of course
Spaniard, and as such felt keenly the
humiliation suffered by his country but
speaking as the archbishop of the is
lands and looking only to what would
be to the church's advantage he said
he fully realized that the influence of
the Spanish clergy over the natives was
gone.
Under the United States government
thls dlff1culty he thought would be OBJ
waited, and Spanish priests would once
again be able to labor faithfully among
the native tribes. He explained this
Dy saying that the bitter feeling now
existing against the priests is not So
much against them individually as it
is against the government of which
they are a part.
He spoke very kindly of America
and apparently had none of that bitter
hostility against the Americans that
he is credited with.
II may be mentioned in connection
with his proc1amations, that he now

One Person In Every Four Suffer,
From Piles.

One Person In Every Four Suffers
From Piles.
About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itching
piles, indicated by warmth. slight moist
ure, and intense, uncomfortable itching in
the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some SIM
pie ointment or salye which sometimes
give temporary relief, but nothing like a
permanent cure can be expected from such
superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles. but for
every other form of piles, blind, bleeding,
or protruding. The first application gives
instant relief, and the continued use for
a short time causes permanent removal
of the tumors or the small parasites which
cause the intense itching and discomfort
of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afforded
by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because it
was supposed to contain cocaine, opium,
or similar drugs, but such is not the case.
A recent careful analysis Of the remedy
showed it to be absolutely free from any
cocaine, opium, or in fact any poisonous,
Injurious drugs whatever. Sold by drug
