FIRST LESSONS IN CRIME.

Written for The Prison Mirror.
In commenting upon PROPOSE
ton advocating legal killing of
incurable idiots and lunatics, III
corrigible criminals and irreclaim-
able drunkards, which proposition
is put forward by one DR.. w.
Duncan McKin of Washington,
the Arkansaw Thomas Cat seems
to think the doctors idea a good
one, giving as it's reason for so
thinking that the statistics of all
civilized countries show that the
alarming increase of these classes
will in a few generations be the
cause of such heavy taxation for
their maintenance that it will eat
up all the profits of industry and
be too heavy burden for society
to bear, while a painless death to
these unfortunates would be a
blessing and, at the same time,
relieve society of a heavy burden.
Our Cat friend appeals to our
reason to assert itself and take the
place of sentiment, which latter it
accuses of being an angel too
costly for civilized society to en-
terrain and adds that in listening
to the voice of reason we may en-
terrain another angel.
Well Thomas "Old Cat" we are
pleased to meet you! shake! AS
it is proverbial saying that only
idiots, lunatics and professional
crooks make Hot Springs their
stamping ground your idea if put
In practice would simply make a
"howling wilderness of that To-
cality and it is not far from prob
able that the "Head Pusher" on
the Thomas Cat would come in
for a dose of his own medicine,
provided society was to abolish
sentiment and listen to reason.

little riverlet which wends itself

little riverlet which wends itself
among the rocks and crags,
then suddenly springs forth and
leaps to the distant pool below
and continues it's journey on, on,
to the deep blue sea. Just before
us lies a most beautiful picture.
A meadow with its young grass
dotted here and there with clusters
of buttercups and bordered on all
sides with weeping willows.
Oh! how beautiful is nature,
with joy and comfort on every
hand. We see dimly through the
young leaves of the forest the
outlines of farm house; we hear
the voices of merry children and
we know that youth and beauty
abounds on every hand.
Such is springtime. the month
of May, when one longs to roam
at pleasure, to sit by the brook
side and listen to it's ripping sill
very voice, and think of the past
with it's joys and it's sorrows.
Thanks be to our God, man
cannot mar the beauty of spring
time. That beautiful picture
which is placed before us each
year of our lives. If anyone
doubt the existence of God let
them but 60 and gaze upon the
beauties of springtime in the
beautiful month of May.

SPRINGTIME.

1t was bright morning in May.
The sun shone bright; the birds
sang their sweetest songs; the air
was filled with natures sweet per-
fumes; the little brook dubbed
forth it's song of praise and wends
it's way along down the hillside to
the valley below; the wind sweetly
whispers message of love to the
young flowers and the leaves
fondly returned it's sweet caress.
We are touched by the change
which is now taking place.
Let us gaze for a moment
at the surrounding landscape.
Yonder is forest budding forth
into guady splendor. We are
amazed at its wonderous beauty.
Still farther off and looming up
against the sky we see a giant
mountain wreathed in misty
shrouds of vapor and capped with
a crown of snow which looks so
pure and holy, and set with gems
of ice which sparkle in the sun
and we say: show beautiful"
Then we turn our eyes to the

to reason and be guided by it's
teachings. If it is by reason that
the Thomas Cat has come to a
belief in legal numbering of un-
fortunates in order to avoid the
expense of caring for them, then
we are of the opinion that the
Thomas Cats reasoning faculties
are of a degenerate character and
our advice to his catship is that he
stick to sentiment, for his ideas of
reason are SO peculiar they will
eventually lead him in the peni-
Tertiary.
But, seriously speaking, if it is
true that the statistics of all civil
lied countries show such an alarm
ing increase in these classes as DIR.
McKin claims, then we have here
proof positive of the charge which
we have repeatedly made, that
society is responsible for a large
majority of the crime for which it
Furnishes individuals.
If civilized society has come to
that point where it can entertain
such proposition, the sooner we
turn back to barbarism the better.
for when we strip the PROPOSE
ton of its superfuous oratorical
verbose embellishments it stands
boldly forth in its ugly nakedness
as a plan to commit wholesale
murder simply to make it easier
for the intelligent, honest and
temperate classes in civilized soci-
ETY. to get living.
This is going the ordinary pro-
fessional criminal one better with
a vengeance, for it is the identical
theory upon which he works, null
tiplied million fold, i. e., the
theory that committing crime
makes it easier for those who COM
nit it, to exist. Coal OIL DICK.
