A Burglars Sermon.

Joe King is d young wcstcrner VINO
began life as a printer and became an
expert, always sure of good job. but
he gave up that business and entered
upon the profession of burglary. Now
he regrets the change and is convinced
that honesty is the best policy. 1t has
taken II years of prison life to bring
him to a full realizationsof this fact,
and he writes a letter to an Iowa
paper that lots of young man in this
country should paste in their hats and
read at least once day. He doesn't
discuss the moral or ethical side OF
burglary, nor make any appeal to
sentiment. He simply presents cold
figures to show that burglary doesn't
pay, and such an argument will ap-
peal to some men when everything else
fails. ..
In summing up his career he has
prepared the following:
Twenty-eight years old; years spent
Parish Prison, New Orleans, one
year for stealing typewriting ma

Whittier Reform School, four years;

clothes NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. o.VJ
Folsom, four years; set of physi-
clans Instruments .......... 20O0
Total gain by burglary on convicted
charges p OlVJ
Wages / would have earned in II
years as printer ..................$l6,oO 500
King says that burglary is as disas-
trous financially as it is morally, and
that now that he is once more to be a
free man it is his intention to live down
his evil record. He knows four men
who are serving an aggregate of more
than 200 years Of imprisonment, and
yet the net proceeds of their crimes
was just 1915 in money and old silver
watch not worth picking out of the
gutter. One of his prison mates held
up a citizen in San Francisco, robbed
him of IL cents, and is now doing %
years for shooting him. Another
prisoner friend of Kings who was a
young man of promise, is now doing
fourteen years for forging a check for
$500; and another, who was a burglar,
took 81 and four silver spoons out of a
house he burglarized, and is now doing
life sentence for killing the police
man who caught him in the act. He
knows one man who made $4,000 out of
one haul. but spent every cent of it
trying to keep out of prison and is
now serving a long sentence. King is
one of the most dangerous and noted Of
criminals, and his picture is in every
rogue's gallery in the country, but he
says that his former life is a thing of
the past now and that he is henceforth
an upright citizen. We hope he
means what lie says and that the world
will give him a fair chance to prove it.

The War in South Africa.

The war in South Africa is now enter
ing upon the last half of it's third year
and the resistance of the Beers against
the superior forces of the British is
still stubborn and heroic. 1t is more
than that, as was demonstrated in
their capture, this week, of General Me-
thuen and the capture and routing Of
hundreds of his men. Such a success
means that the warfare is now more
than of a guerilla nature, and that
the task before the British is still of
formidable proportions. The reverse it
self, aside from the loss of the COM
handing officer, was not serious, as
war is measured, but it's sting is sharp
and it's moral effect is not to be light
ly measured. 1t gives new life to the
will make their final and inevitable
subjugation more difficult and more
bloody.
The war in South Africa has already
cost England as much as was paid on
the British public debt during the long
reign of Victoria, and every week adds
millions more to the grim total that has
long since fulfilled Kruger's promise of
staggering humanity. The end is not
in doubt, nor has it been from the first,
but England little realized the size of
the task it had entered upon. 1t may
be that the disaster to Methuen's di-
vision will hasten, rather than delay.
the end. Lork Kitchener is likely to
redouble his efforts. Reinforcements
are being hurried to him. His reputa-
ton is at stake and the reverse will be
a spur to him. There are likely to be
exciting times in South Africa before
many weeks.
