SINCE 1893 the number Of arrests in. Chicago
has decreased 30 per cent notwithstanding the FACT
that the population has increased SO per cent. II
recent interview with representative Of one of The
Chicago dailies Chief of Police O'Neill said thu
greatest factor in the partial elimination Of petty
ofenses is the Municipal Lodging House, an insti
tuition where homeless are provided with supper
lodging and breakfast in exchange for three hours
work on the streets This institution, established
about year ago, provided entertainment for some
5000 men last winter and found employment for
large percentage of them Self-respecting men viii
patronize it because, even without money, they art
enabled to pay for what they receive; professional
beggars and petty rafters seek refuge in it because
since it's establishment they are refused admission
to the police station.
Some of the features connected with the MI
nicipal Lodging House seem at first sight to infic
unnecessary degradation on the honest working mar
who through stress of circumstances forced seel
it's hospitality For instance, all the dodgers art
compelled to submit to the examination of physi
clan before retiring, and the physician records al
their distinguishing peculiarities, such as birth
marks, scars etc. In other words they subjected
to a modified Bertillon examination, of which
record is kept by the authorities This of course il
disagreeable to man whose only offense agains
the community is being out of work, but after all il
is mere matter of detail to one who is hungry anc
without funds. The only possible use anyone car
make of the record is to prove that the subject of il
was once very poor and out of employment IN
pleasant, but not dishonorable condition. On the
other hand, the deserving applicant is assisted ir
finding work and is at least sure of two meals day
and comfortable place to sleep until he is success
full And he is enabled to accept this without being
made an object of charity
The Chicago Municipal Lodging House was
established through private enterprise and was
turned over to tn city it was in running
order. As it only experiment, the success Of
which was open to question, this eminently
proper but since it has proven beneficial the cities
following Chicago's lead in this matter should not
depend upon private citizens to take the initiative
in establishing such houses of refuge, but should dc
it themselves There is need for such institutions
here in the northwest. If the work of providing
temporary shelter for needy laborers is function
of municipal government.-and it seems to be
generally conceded that such is the case-surely il
will be better for the whole community in the long
run to support such institutions the Chicago
lodging houses rather than to submit the unfortu.
nate applying for relief to the degradation of being
herded in the common of police station
And if Chief ONeill is to be relied on the lodging
houses are saving to the city. s

ODDS AND ENDS.

Ill
From statement recently pre-
pared by the commissioner of in
ternal revenue it would seem that
it would be more profitable for
many of US to go into the cigar
business than into the prison bust
ness. From July l, 1901, to August
| l, 1902, period of thirteen months,
the cigar tax of the United States
was a little less than seven million
dollars.
It would be difficult to do, act
and live in the way that millions
OF men. profess to believe. AS
regards conduct, it is as natural
for man to live according to his
real belief as it is for fish to live
in water. Hence, we may say that
every man does, and lives exactly
as he believes not as he may pro-
fess to believe, nor as he may think
he would like to, or should believe.
It is assimpossible for a man to go
counter to his real belief as it is to
| fly in mid-air and stand on the
earth at one and the same time.
The cashier who embezzles a
hundred thousand dollars knows
he is transgressing both the human
and divine laws; he knows he is
expected to be good enough to
refrain from such an act; he knows
it is wrong and he processes to be
too good a man to commit such an
act. But he believes he is justified
in taking the money; he sees an
opportunity to invest it where it
will yield handsome returns and
he will then reimburse his en-
ployers-or he may abscond, know
ing he is going counter to that
which he processes to believe, and
to divine and human laws. Yet.
within himself he really believes
he is justified in absconding. Thus
it is with any act or crime COM
mitted; the individual believes he
wants to do it, or else he would
not do it; he knows he wants to do
| it, or else he would not do it.
To believe a thing it is as natural
to feel, to think, to be, to act in
accordance Herewith as it is to
breathe, and it is as impossible to
do otherwise as it is to live without
breathing. Hence, it is plainly
visible that at least nine out of
every ten men who profess to
believe the Bible are trying to
deceive themselves or the world,
or both. This fact is shown by
their impure language, improper
conduct, immoral character, etc.
It is no more possible for Chris
tianity and blasphemy to go to-
gether than it would be to make
FIVE out of two and two. It would
be task to attempt to follow all
the teachings of the Bible or the
ten commandments, but. any man
can follow the Golden Rule, about
which &c. S." wrote 80 entertain
ingly in The MIRROR few weeks
since; and any man can use pure
language and possess a moral
character. Without the observance
of these three thoughts no man
believes the Bible literally and
he who says he does is living a
sacrilegious life.

asmuch as Satan seems to be IS
young as he ever was and works,
"a hours every day in the year it
requires men Of energy to keep up

very ably assisted in these days by
scientific disclosure and resultant
agnosticism and unless Providence
takes hold and helps the ministers
they will soon have hard time to
keep their focks from being STAN
peded by the enemy.
However, this gentleman's COM
plant sounds the keynote of SINH
lar conditions in other walks of life.
A great many people seem to look
upon those whose ages are, say from
fifty to sixty as being old. They seem
to look upon these as persons who
have served their usefulness and
who are on the decline; when as a
matter of fact the average man of
sound mental and physical endow-
ments, with his ripened experience
and mature years, if progressive,
should at sixty possess a greater
degree of intellectually than at
any former period of his life. It
should be borne in mind that
every man, however young he
may be, if he lives long enough,
will reach the age of sixty in a
very, Oe,y few years, and if he has
taken care of himself and is i'm
bued with progressive ideas he will
be as young as he ever was"
Some people would have those who
are advanced in years get off the
earth before their time comes, and
at the same time these are the
people who are the first to condemn
suicide.
