The belief that the head surmounted by crown
lies uneasy has been source of qualification to
patriotic Americans. Disappointed candidates for
senatorial honors doubtless derive like satisfaction
from the knowledge that the body adorned by toga
is sometimes made very uncomfortable. Surely the
erstwhile opponents of the new senator from Utah
are in position to solace themselves with such
reflections. Ever since the election of Mr.. Smoot,
that depraved and unmentionable polygamist has
had the devil to pay, and it is no exaggeration to
say that he has furnished almost much copy for
enterprising writer's and preachers the first gentle
men of America, T. Coleman Younger and j. Law
renee Sullivan altho of course it is not to be ex-
pected that he would receive the same consideration
from press and pulpit those philosophers of the
arena.
If Senator Smoot is the hardened and benighted
reprobate he is said to be- why in the name of COM
mon sense doesn't somebody go out to Utah and
convert him? That is the logical thing to do. He
won't see the of his ways through being anath
ematized menace to America" The right
thing to do is to find some thoroughly upright man
who is without a. moral blemish-and surely there
are many such among Mr.. Shoots detractors- and
send him out to Salt Lake City to talk things
with the new senator

The Tacoma Weekly Ledger is the
only newspaper that ever came to
my notice which devotes large.
amount of space each week to an
editorial along Scriptural lines;
and this reminds me of the thought
which appeared the other day in
some other Pacific coast paper, the
Portland Oyeg0nian, I think, which
was, in effect, that no truth is
more obvious than the Scriptural
declaration that the sins of parents
shall be visited upon the children.
And not only children but sisters,
brothers and even more remote
relatives may suffer from the effects
of the wrong doing of another. One
moral derelict, or one criminal in
a family, may cloud the lives of
all with whom there is near blood
relationship. Hence, it would
seem that this is one phase of
crime that is rarely duly consid-
cred by the hayward. The average
criminal is selfish. in that he takes
no thought of others who must
suffer as consequence Of his act.
He has not due regard for the
feelings of parents or the life as
pirations of sisters or brothers. If
his crime could end with his own
personality he might atone for it
| by death or confinement. But
others must bear the burden Of his
sin for no cause other than the
misfortune of consanguinity.
A striking example of the Scrip
tural truth noted, in its broader
application, is shown IN the case
OF the young man In Los Angeles,
whose terrible misfortune it is to
be a brother Of Czolgosz, the as
sassin of President Nc Kinley. This
young man was placed in confne-
ment, by the police, during Presi-H
dent Roosevelt's stay in that city,
Nothing has ever occurred in the
life of this brother Of the assassin

most pathetically, he is marked

of the entire Czolgosz
family have been watched by
detectives or police ever since the
Buffalo tragedy. It is not the
fault of this younger Czolgosz
that pursues him now and that
will be likely to pursue him
through life. It is only his mis-
fortune that follows on his trail,
the blighting of his life by q
brothers crime.
But while society should be
protected against crime, it is OBJ
vions that the extreme measures
adopted in thousands of cases, for
bounding men, are unwarranted
and make life so burdensome to
the suspect that he is, in q meas
ure, forced to desperation. Thou
sands of men who are convicted
on mere technicalities of hairs

with distrust and perchance pur-

ton or evil doings as are the
former. But if the officers of the

wonder why the world had not

light reading after the days work is over is very
strong and while it would be harmless enough under
normal conditions it means stagnation rerogres-
sion to the prisoner who yields to it. In order to
keep his foothold he must make books and study fill
the place of contact with his fellows. In order to
hold his own he must use his brain as well as his
muscle. The MIRROR and the Chautauqua Circle,
are designed to provide mental exercise to the in
mates of this institution but their spheres of useful
ness are necessarily limited. The school, however,
embraces course that is comprehensive enough for
all.
Any sort of mental discipline is beneficial. Even
if the knowledge gained in given course of study
is directly applied the time devoted to gaining
it is not wasted. Study trains the mental faculties

The news of the sad and untimely death of R.
G. Bowman will come as shock not only to Mime
sofa, but to the whole Northwest. He was I'M
questionably the most widely known newspaper man
in this section of the country. His cartoons were
enjoyed in the rural districts quite as much in
the cities, while his lectures "chak talks as he
called them, brought him into personal contact with
the people of the whole state. He had friends
among old and young folks foreigners and natives.
Mr. Bowmans pictures were an index to his
character. They are humorous, quaint wholesome,
good-natured and kindly; never cruel, malicious or
vindictive. And "Doc" Bowman himself was big,
whoe-souled man, every inch of him; clever, quiet
companionable loving, and firm and sure in all he
did. His brilliant career is ended, but it will be
many year before his memory will fade from the
hearts of those who knew him through his work and
as friend.

Of the cheap, yet fertile lands which are there
available, combining various industries with modi-
fed and simple form of agriculture, and enabling
them quickly to become home owners
Commander Booth Tucker estimates that $780,
600 would be sufficient to establish such colony.
His idea is to "let the families who are selected
sign contract to the effect that they will not
drift off to the congested slums of our great Cities
but will settle on their aotments till these have
been duly paid for The money thus advanced to
them would probably be repaid inside of ten years,
when it would be available for further party the
