critic AND CIVILIZATION.

Does civilization lessen crime? 1t
is pretty hard to tell. But the truth
probably is that crime grows less with
the advance OF civilization but not as
much less as one would naturally ex-
pect. Statistics are not available for
the very distinct past 80 as to enable
us to make necessary comparisons.
But there were doubtless many more
murders as we'll as lesser crimes COM
mitted in almost every community
fifty or seventy-five years ago than
there are now, Notwithstanding the
wonderful growth Of population. But
in the past means Of transmitting
news were scarce and newspapers
were few, SO that people only knew Of
crimes committed in their immediate
community. Occasionally there
would be great murder trial, like
that OF Prof. Webster OF Boston, that
would attract the attention OF the en-.
tire country. But cases OF this kind
were not frequent, the average citizen
paying comparatively little attention
to the doings OF remote communities
Ohe of the queer phases OF crime
at the present time is the large pei
centage committed by intelligent, ed
ucated and supposed to be refined peo-
pie. 1t is easy for the law to prompt
ly take hold OF and adequately punish
the criminal of the ordinary type,
but it is a much more difficult thing
to comprehend and punish the class
Of criminals equipped by good educa-
ton and backed by great wealth.
Whether or not education and the
surroundings OF refinement serve to
make t. man or woman better is a
problem not easy OF solution, and il
mere book learning does not improve
humanity in this regard, what kind
OF moral training must 60 along with
it to produce the desired result? This
is problem with which humanitar-
ians may concern themselves with
great profit just now.

Here's to the kicker, the faint
hearted kicker, the kicker so helpless
and blue! Who always is crying and
never is trying some good for his own
town to do. No use to correct him,
nor need you expect him to get to the
front like man; while others hustle
he'll sit down and rustic some OBJ
jections to raise to each plan. But
when the brute dies we'll pause with
dry eyes, on his future condition to
dwell, and we'll envy the devil that
will handle the shovel when he roasts

A hard working honest old farmer
came into town one day last week
and showed our jeweler a watch he
had bought as present for his son
who he says is bard working boy
and deserving Of something nice now
and them. The watch was sold to
him for twenty dollars by an agent
who claimed to have been a travelling
salesman for big firm which gave
him his line Of samples to sell for
whatever he could get. The watch
was an elegant affair with a pure
brass case with the cheapest works
possible to make. 1t was worth
exactly one dollar and seventy-five
cents. Instead OF coming to town
and patronizing reliable home mer-
chant this old farmer gave HE money
to shyster and got bit. There are
Others who bought Of the same fakir
for he has been around here for several
weeks. Its good for them--he ought
to have stuck them for two hundred
dollars instead o! twenty. 1t takes
a two hundred dollar jolt to knock
the scales off some peoples eyes and
the moss off their backs. When home
merchants are selling good goods
cheap we have no sympathy for the
man who buys brass watches at ten
times their value. Another illustra.
ton Of what you get when you listen
to the cheap goods man is before more

We have recently read OF petition
presented many years ago to the Paris
Senate for regulations to prevent
burying alive. Cardinal Bonnet, Arch.
bishop Of Bordeaux, gave an account
OF various cases within his knowledge
in which persons had narrowly escap-
Ell being buried alive, and closed with
his own experience, as follows: In
the summer Of 1926, on u close and
sultry day, in church which was
excessively crowded, young priest
who was in the act of preaching a
sermon was suddenly siezed with gid
diness in the pulpit. The words he
was uttering became indistinct; he
soon lost the power Of speech, and
sank down ON the floor. He was
taken out OF the church and carried
home. All was thought to be over.
Some hours after the funeral bell was
tolled and the usual preparation made
for interment. His eyesight was gone;
but If he could see nothing, he could
hear, and 1 need not say that what
reached his ears was not calculated to
reassure him. The doctor came, ex-
amined him and pronounced him
dead; and after the usual inquiries as
to his age and the place Of his birth,
etc. gave permission for his inter-
ment next mornir g. The venerable
bishop, in whose cathedral the young
priest was preaching when he was
seized with the st, came to his bed
side to recite tile De Profundis. The
body was measured for the coffin.
Night came on, and you will easily
feel how inexpressible was the anguish
OF the living being in such a situa-
tion. At last, amid the voices muir.
muring around him, he distinguished
that OF one whom he had known from
infancy. That voice produced mar
velcus effect and superhuinan effort.
OF what followed need say no
more than that the seemingly dead
man stood next day in the same pull
pit. The young priest. gentlemen, is
the same man who is now speaking
before you, and who, more than forty
years after that event, implores those
in authority not merely to watch vigi-
lantiy over the careful execution of
the legal prescriptions with regard to
interments, but to enact fresh ones in
order to prevent the recurrence OF ir-
reparable misfortunes.
The subject is not pleasant one,
but it is one which deserves the ear
nest attention OF every community.
1t is pre-eminently something that is
"everybody's business"
Many persons considered dead have
been prepared for burial, but most
fortunately returned to consciousness
before being placed in the tomb and
escaping Inflammation by miracle.
Undertakers state that thousands of
persons have been killed in the pro-
cess OF embalming. Instances where
bodies are exhumed for various pur-
poses have demonstrated beyond doubt
that life was not extinct when inter-
ment occurred. A plan should be de-
vised whereby the remains OF sup.
posedly deceased persons could be
tenderly preserved and cared for until
the beginning OF decay makes death
absolutely certain.

AS might be expected, the crazy cru
sade inaugurated by Mrs. Nation in
Kansas against the Illegal saloons has
at last resulted in murder, and, sad
enough, the first victim was a woman.
A "joint" was raided by mob and, in
the melee which followed, the wife of
the proprietor, who rushed in to assist
her husband, was shot and instantly
killed. To condemn the lawless and
fanatical proceedings OF the Kansas
mobs of saloon wreckers, is not to con-
done the lawlessness OF the saloons, but
the old eaying that "two wrongs do not
make right" should be recalled by th e
Nation disciples.
