NEWSPAPERS AS EDUCATORS.

A rural patron some time ago told
the editor that the Standard is the
cheapest thing he buys. He says it
is worth more in educating his family
than all the school books he buys.
Those they study for a few months
and then lay them up, but they read
the Standard all the year round and it
is a continual school for them. Two
grown members OF the household
could not read until he began taking
the paper, but soon learned to read
it. Along this line is the following
clipping from the Anderson Intellt-
qe,seer:
"a school teacher says that pupils
who have access to newspapers at
home, when compared with those who
have not, are better readers and bet

Value Of the Local Newspaper.

A local newspaper reflects the bust
ness interests of the town in its ad-
vertising columns. A business man
looking for location always examines
newspapers to see how his particular
line is represented. If he is a drug
gist he concludes there are no drug
gists, or, if there are, they are all
dead. If he is doctor or 4 lawyer,
he looks over the professional cards
to see if his profession is represented.
Among the farmer subscribers the
home paper has = similar mission.
The prospective buyers like an invi-
tation to come and trade with the
merchants. A card of the profession
al man is just IS essential as the sign
in front of his door. It is not ques-
ton of being able to get along with
out it. A hardware man need not
heat his store to keep things from
freezing. He might have = booth

instead Of paying rent at his store
and buying fuel to heat it with, but
it might not be economy TO do 30.

rather an economic proposition rec
ognized by. all the best and most
successful business men the world

Shall henderson Furnish II for the
Third Rexjment7

Col. Francis A. Macon, Quarter
master-Gensral, has informed Col.
Perry that he will soon equip . band
for his regiment (the 3rd) complete.
Col. Macon was advised by the Secrs-
tary OF War that his request for band
instruments, uniforms, etc., would
be granted and that these equipments
will be the same a. those issued to
the regular army bands.
Now the GOLD LEAF suggests that
our Henderson boys "get = move on

The instrumsnts issued to the army

them.

C.. SAMUELS co.
ARE WE oIv1L1zED2

There are certain facts in my
possession which lead me to
doubt the propriety Of an affir-
NATIVE answer to the above
question.
Before me, lying on the table
at which l am writing, are docu-
ments showing the hardness of
heart and the cold-blooded in
difference to human suffering
which one would not expect in a
civilized community; which, in
deed, would have done credit to
the Iroquois Indians when the
IrOQuOis Indians were at their
worst.
These silent documents tell a
pathetic tale of human sorrow
and an equally pathetic tale Of
human greed and meanness.
Nothing can rise SO high or
sink so low as human nature,
and the lowest depths to which
poor humanity in it's weakness
ever falls is reached when, for
filthy lucre's sake, it is willing to
trade upon human necessity and
coin it's dollars out of the misery
of the destitute and the unfOr-
tunate.
These documents are chattel
mortgages given to the poorest
OF the poor, to satisfy South Side
loan sharks, and taken up by the
Rev. F. w. Millar of the Ryder
Memorial church.
They were handed to me by Mr..
Millar with the request that l
bring them to the notice of the
people through the columns of the
peoples friend, the Chicago AM
erican.
Let us take one of these mort
cages, as a sample of the rest,
hoping that by the study of it we
will be enabled to answer the
question as to whether we are or
are not civilized.
The mortgage selected is made
out by a very poor woman to a
Cottage Grove money lender for
the sum OF $35.
DuU 1cU uS pCtuSC 0 AO1AOAO w
clear the way, as it were.
This woman needed the money
needed it badly, needed it quick
ly, for the following good and
substantial reasons: First, she
was about to become a mother
forthe seventh time; her husband
a painter by trade, had fallen
from a scaffold and was SO badly
hurt that he could do no work
and, finally, as a consequence O
the fathers hurt, the family was
on the verge Of destitution.
This will sufficiently explain
why she needed the loan; also
why she needed it quickly.
She needed it and the money
lender stood prepared to let he
have it-but at what a cost!
To make a long and miserable
story as short as possible, l will
simply say that on the $50 tn
woman paid, in six months
$3.50 interest! 1t was renewed
and for the whole year she pai'
$3.50 in interest on the orig
inal $35.
Now then, are we civilized

Who will have the hardihood to
saw that we aro9

Who will have the hardihOOd to
say that we are?
[ am not talking of the man
(?) who made the poor woman
pay the terrible interest-he is
beneath discussion-I am speak
ing of the men who make and
unmake the laws, and ask them
if they are actually civilized,
when they allow the loan sharks
to legally rob and plunder the
poor like that!
If the people were what they
ought to be, if the best in them
was alive and active, would they
not see to it that such barbarOus
business should not be?
The woman in questiOn-and [
would give her name had 1 not
promised Mr.. Millar that Iwould
keep it secret-lives in Woodland.
She is a faithful wife and mother,
her only crime being her poverty.
AS already intimated, she is the
mother of seven little children,
and has, besides, a crippled hus-
band on her hands. Since her
husband fell and broke himself
to pieces the brave little woman
has been supporting the family
as best she could by bending over
the washtub, standing there
some days with an aching back,
a dizzy head and every muscle in
her body wracked by pain.
just before the last payment
was due on the $50 she was
kindly informed by the money
lender unless it was paid on the
spot he would sell her furniture,
SO she made up her mind to try
and do two days washing in
one and by other means save her
few remaining goods.
In the meantime Mr.. Millar-a
good Samaritan fever there was
one in this world-hearing of the
woman's distress, called to see
her. He found her in the midst
OF her double task. She was
passing the wet clothing through
a wringer, the crank of which
was being turned by one of her
little girls, a tot SO small that
she had to stand on a soap box!
When Mr.. Millar went-as he
did straightway-to have the
mortgage cancelled he described
the family's condition, made a
picture of the little woman's
heroism, appeaded-or tried to
appeal-to the loan sharks man
hood, but it was all in vain! The
shark simply replied: ''Sir, lam
not in the business for my health.
And furthermore, what are you
going to do about it?"
I take up these words and put
them to you, 0, people! l ask
you: What are you going to do
about it? Are you-the soverigns
of this land-are you going to
allow men (?) like the Cottage
Grove avenue fellow to keep on
robbing the poor, the weak, the
sick, and the sOrrOwing?
Think on your criminal negil
ence, o people! thing on it over
and over again, and when the
next legislature meets at Spring
field see to it that forevermOre
after that meeting it shall bt
impossible for the infamy that
have been describing to exist up
on the soil of Illinois.-Rev
Thos. B. Gregory in the Chicago
american.
