The Golden Rule.

The Golden Rule reduces human duty
to single axiom and places it where
the most ignorant and obtuse can
easily understand it. The wayfaring
man need not err therein. "And as
you would that men should do unto
you do ye also to them likewise" No
man wants another to d. him injury in
person, character or estate and this
rule requires every man to act right
eous and charitable to all others. No
man in adversely but what likes the
sympathy and assistance of kind friends
and this rule requires of him that SYM
pathy and assistance to all others in
need thereof.
1t seems an easy thing to do to live
up to the text of this rule: vet. there
are very few who are doing it, for in
the hearts of many we find deceit, NAL
ice, revenge and cOvetOusness, and SO
long as there is room in mans heart
for any of these, he can not hope to
live according to this Golden Text
There is hope in every human heart,
that beyond the dark shadow of the
valley of death, there is brighter and
better state of existence. No man
knows what hat state of existence is
to be. Every man knows what this
life is, and can make it life filled
with joys and pleasures; can go through
it to the music of sweet singing birds
and bright bubbling streams with the
fragrance of beautiful flowers which
adorn the way, by "doing unto others
as he would that others should do INTO
him." and all the way his heart will be
filled with "peace OIL earth, good will
toward men," HOMER.

Many of the prisoners who are pupils

Many of the prisoners who are pupils
of the prison night school. can be seen
industriously absorbed in studying
their lessons during every alternate
night which they remain in their cell.
They have little time to worry about
the past, present or future. Every
moment is utilized to the best advan-
tage in acquiring an education. Others
can be seen in their cell studiousIy and
patiently mastering some foreign Ian
guage, such as Spanish, German or
French.
Again others are employed in writing
essays on American history, Greek
architecture, the French revolution,
etc, to be read before the prison
Chautauqua Circle, which is composed
of about thirty-five members and which
meets in the prison chapel every alter
nate Sunday.
Approximately speaking we believe
that the prisoners time here is not
wholly lost. Like an intelligent being
he is spending his hours in storing
knowledge; keeping thoroughly posted
on current events and all that pertains
to human activity, progress and in
vention. He who reads must learn,
and he who learns becomes better
morally, mentally and physically; and
right here, before closing this article,
we suggest that, while additions are
steadily being made to the library, part
of the money used in purchasing books,
could be advantageously used in pur-
chasing larger supply of magazines
to be issued to the prisoners as whole.

We have all read of the ship of state
and of good-fellowship and hardship:
but there are few of us that have
shipped on the ship of fate that lies
stranded on the rocks in the still water
of the state of Minnesota. 1t must
have been an i'll wind that cast us there
or we must have deviated from our
true course, or we did not pay proper
attention to the drift of the ebbtide,
to be wrecked so far from Our port of
destination, for we are men similar to
other men that roll on the tide of life

forgive you your misdeeds as we

have adjusted your compass and made
an allowance for your drift to leeward
and corrected your reckoning, and if
you had kept good lookout ahead you
might have weathered the rocks of

the hills of st. Paul."
AS we failed to be good navigators
in life's voyage we must sink with
the wreck, and as we disappear from
sight beneath the surface of public
oblivion we can in truth say with the
poet, "man wants but little here below
nor wants that little long," SINBAD.

have not been naturally determined by

AS we stand looking over life's way
there comes to our souls that indefinite

you of Napoleon's metoric career of
sixteen years of conquest, plunder and
slaughter; how he arose from the
shadow of the Reign of Terror to that
OF Emperor of France; his captivity
and escape from the island of Elba;
his crushing defeat at Waterloo and
his imprisonment and death at St.
Helena. They can inform you of the
doings during the tempestuous career
of that despotic monarch, Philip II. of
Spain, and with what clever ingenuity
this cruel monster attempted the as
similation of Christianity among
France, England and Holland. They
can tell you of Peter the Hermit, how
that individual aroused the people of
Europe and marched the crusaders
against the barbarian in defense of the
Holy Land. They can give you an ac-
count of William the Silent, Prince of
Orange. and his stupendous struggle
against the invaders OF Holland; of the
battle of Hastings in 1866 when William
the Conqueror defeated King Harold
and won a kingdom; of our own
country, the cause of the revolution,
the war of 1912 and the men who helped
to construct the foundations of our
envied government.
With g well-stocked library COM
prising wide range of subjects, and
the papers and magazines subscribed
for by the inmates and kept in cir
culation by an improvised exchange
post office, few prisoners there are who
are any length of time without some
thing to read. AS he has the privilege
of drawing two books a week, this
alone almost consumes his three hours
in the evening, that is if they are read
with care and the important features
memorized so as to be of future nse.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
prisoners "home" life is somewhat
assuaged by the plentiful supply of
literature ready at hand, he being
human, cannot help pining for the
exhilarating fresh air of liberty. In
these fitful moments his mind becomes
reminiscent of the world from whence
he has been temporarily banished. He
again peers through the dim vista of
years and his eye rests upon a cottage
wherein he pattered across the floor
with his chubby feet to the loving
arms of his mother.
He sees the old garden, with it's
beautiful red poppies and varigated
flowers of many hues; the old we'll off
to one side and the schoolhouse in the
distance. There, also, are his old play
mates with whom he romped, fished
and played ball. AS he looks up the
scene fades from view. He again is
confronted with the stern realities of
prison life, and to forget its miseries
he becomes deeply engrossed in read
ing, sure tonic to help ward off
melancholy.

dttrdcC Cno atCenClOn or the
reader like that of ancient
history. 1t has charm that binds the
attention of the reader no matter under
what form it is given, either in histori-
cal romance, (which is the most pre-
ferable in some histories) or in simply
the plain history of any nation or
people that have elevated the standard
of mankind and added to its treasures
of knowledge.
But history of itself is unimportant
unless we consider the example and
wisdom which it contains. There are
those of the present day who speak
disparagingly of the Greeks and
Romans because they lacked the
customs and knowledge of the present
century. We of today have the result
of twenty centuries of improvements
from their greatest achievements, while
the Greeks and Romans had half that
time to create standard of civilization
from chaos of barbarism and ignor-
ance. And yet the twentieth century
has not so far excelIed the Greeks or
Romans in making perfect race or
individual.
For over two thousand years we have
had the civilization of the Greeks and
Romans to copy from. We have added
to its many branches, it is true; but
have we surpassed them in bringing
mankind nearer to the standard of per-
fection? Does our civilization lessen
the misery and unhappiness of the
world? l think not, if we faithfully
consider the history of events up to the
present year.
1t is claimed by many learned men
that the art and learning of Athens
and the power and magnificence of
Rome was sort of barbarous splendor
lacking in all the attributes of civiliza-
ton. Their savage and cruel sports
and wholesale executions are held up
before the gentle world of today to
shudder at, and wonder how men could
be so inhuman. And yet the victims
of the Spanish inquisition, or the later
victims of Weyler, or still later the
heather Chinese under the civilized
Christian nations of the world would
have chosen the arena of Rome or
Greece, had it been given them to
choose. So that after all, when we
compare past and present, our advance
ment is not so great with all our time
for Improvement.
There is one peculiar fact in all
ancient history and that is the nation
that became great through war, also
perished through war. From the
earliest history of the Hebrews down
to Spain all who have won by the sword
of war have been defeated And 1
should think that any nation of the
present age should gather wisdom frorc
the past, although present conditions
in China, the Philippines and South
Africa does not indicate that the pres
ent civilized nations are seeking wisdom

REGARDED AS INSANITARY.
Report by Health Ofi1cer of Condition
of Certain Premises,

Report by Health Officer of Condition
of Certain Premises
DR.. William c. Woodward, the health Off
Ger, has submitted report to the District
Commissioners in which he states that in
connection with the recent investigation
of certain cases Of typhoid fever on P
street, between 35th and 36th streets north
west several houses were found to be pro-
vided with sewer accommodations by open
ings made directly into a supposed public
sewer passing under the premises. Other
houses, he says. in Georgetown have been
found with sewer accommodations arranged
in the same manner.
The arrangements--is regarded by the
health department. as insanitary, the usual
provisions for running traps, etc, features
of the modern plumbing being omitted.
THE department has, however," contin-
ues DR.. Woodward. felt that the owners
could not be required under the provisions
of the drainage act to establish sewer and
water connections, in view of the fact that
all of the drainage of such premises even
now flows into public sewers. 1t believes
that the matter can be best dealt with as
defective plumbing, coming within the ju-
risdietion of the Inspector of plumbing, en-
neer department" on
The health department recommends that
this matter be referred to the engineer de-
partment for report and that, after the re-
ceipt and consideration of the report, If the
Commissioners are Of opinion that the cases
should be dealt with under the drainage
act. the health department be so advised

Resident Objects to the Impounding
OF His Dog.

ANcsAuSht OUJectS 10 the lmpOun01nE
OF His Dog.
Mr.. Mazo OF 4th and Elm streets north
west has written to the District Commits
sioners, protesting against the impounding
Of his dog. He says the animal was taken
by the dog catchers from in front of his
store, against the protest Of one Of his en-
ployes. who had the dog in charge at the
time of his capture. He says, further, the
animal was licensed and was not running
at large. The Commissioners have re-
ceived reports from the poundmaster which
state that the dog was lying on the side
walk. about fifteen feet from the entrance
to the store, when the catcher's net was
thrown over him. He had on neither collar
nor tag.
The matter coming under the Jurisdiction
OF the health Office, Henry c. Mclean, the
acting Official has recommended to the
Commissioners adverse action on the re-
quest for the release Of the dog. He says:
The officer on duty states that the dog
in question was fifteen feet below the side
entrance Of Mr.. Mazo's store, and I have
no reason to discredit that statement The
dog when captured was, 1 am satisfied, on
the public highway, and the presentation of
a license after its capture could not exempt
the holder Of such license from the pay
ment of the pound fee. Holding as I do
that the dog was legally impounded, 1 rec
ommend that Mr.. MaZo be so notified and
also that the dog be released only on the
payment of the pound fee"
The recommendation has been approved

DEMURRER SUSTAINED,
Courts Action in Suit of DIR. StOddard
for Mandamus.


for Mandamus.
Chief Justice Bingham today sustained
the demurrer of the National Homeopathic
Hospital Association to the petition filed
by DR.. Leroy r. Stoddard. who sought to
have the court issue a mandamus, COM
pelling the association to receive into the
Homeopathic Hospital patients sent by
him. 1t is extremely doubtful. the court
said, If upon any statement of facts the
trustees could be compelled to admit any
particular patient to the hospital, because
the admission or refusal of patient lies
entirely within the discretion of the trus-
tees. But without deciding this question
the court held that the statement of facts
made In the petition fled did not make
out case calling for a legal remedy. The
court intlmated that the petition was IN
complete and imperfect. This decision, it
Is said, practically denies to DIR. Stpddard
the relief asked In his petition, but 1t Is
understood that his counsel will ask leave
to amend and the matter be again referred
to the chief Justice for further considera-
ton. - o0s
