That young man who thinks he is

That young man who thinks he is
poor because he has no bank account,
little understands the value of God 8
free gift of health and strength, little
appreciates the fact that the brightest
and best of the country are self-made,
and come to the notice of the world
from just such beginnings. Not by
idly moaning that they are poor. but
by going carefully to work, perfecting
themselves in their chosen pursuits
and becoming so useful to those ABOUT
them that their services are always in
demand, whether it be on the platform,
In the shop or in the kitchen, for all
are honorable alike.

PARDONING CRIMINALS.

There is more than q suspicion that
strong tendency exists not only in
this state but elsewhere toward q
looseness and lsniency in the matter
of pardoning criminals.
The maudlin sympathy expressed by
women and BY some men toward
criminals or those accused Of some
heinons crime is usually considered
as the manifestation Of an abnormal
sentiment which verges on bysteria,
but there is an illogical and mistaken
lenienoy toward criminals suffering
loog terms Of imprisonment, expressed

The New York Central railroad has
been convicted Of giving unlawful re.
bates co favored shippers, and has
been fined by the court $108, 900. 90.
This sounds like heavy punishment,
but the truth is this amount Of money
is a small amount to the New York
Central Railroad Company.
This unlawful rebating and dis
elimination will continue until some
railroad manager has to serve term
in the penitentiary.
What does fine amount to against
these railroads; they make the amount
of the fine while the trial is going
on. Penitentiary sentences is what
we need and 1t is all that will do the
work.

A man who commits q cold blooded

ment for life, should not be pardoned.
He may have good record as q pris-
oner, he may even have honesty and
sincerely repent.d Of his crime and il
may be conceded, for the sake Of ar.
gument, that he would no longer be q
menace to the community If allow ed
to go at large, but the argument
against his release is based upon
grounds which are not effected by these
facts,
The purpose Of punishment for crime
should never be for motives Of re.
venge; it should be based upon two
grounds. and two only, the prevention
OF subsequent criminal acts upon the
part of the criminal himself and it.

Now it does not require any labored
argument to show that this effect in
the latter instance Is seriously weak.

The strongest argument, in ou1
mind, the only argument which can
be regarded as even partially tenable,
in favor of capital punishment exists
in the fact that the frequent misuse
Of the pardoning power serves to min
imize the dread of punishment on the
part Of the prospective criminal.

The enactment of q law to the OBJECT
that men convicted Of murder in the

under any circumstances, would be
futile, since subsequent legislatures
would be able to appeal it, but If pub

and expressed with Undertaking firm

for lay ing such an injunction, for II
his time, rs at the present, there were
people too much disposed to tell all
they knew. One half the trouble In
every community, comes from the fact
that so many people have not the ca.
pacity to keep their mouths shut. We
have two ears but only one tongue
which is suggestive OF the fact that
we should hear more than we tell. By
the power of q secret divulged, fami.

Citations that dc not have their work
with closed doors, and admit their
members with pass words, and greet
each other with a secret grip are right
or wrong. Our answer is that It de.
ponds entirely upon the object TO,
which they meet. II it is to pass the
hours in revelry and obscene talk, OF
to plot trouble to the state, then we
say with emphasis that 1t is wrong
But where the object is the improve.

the heart, the defense Of the govern,
ment, then we say with just as much
emphasis that they are blessing.
There is no need that those who plar
for right over wrong should publish tt
the world their intentions. Secrecy
of plot and execution are wrong only
when the object and ends are meta
rious. Every family is SECRET society
