Put the Habitual

The primary purpose of punishment is to assure obedience to the
law. When inaictng punishment the state looks NOT TO THE
disobeyed and now suffers, but to all the individuals in like case with
him who may hereafter fear to disobey by reason of his suffering
Nevertheless it is true that punishment FAILS if the criminal
remains as dangerous to society after he has suffered it as he was be-
fore. While the chastsement of each particular offender looks to the
betternent or at least the diminished harmfulness of all possible
wrongdoers, still, as he is himself one of them, and that one MOST
DIRECTLY AFFECTED by the penalty, its effect upon him must
have due weight in considering its merits. If any form OF punishment
renders those who have suffered it less willing or less able to again
break the law, it is A GOOD FORM OF PUNISHMENT. If it
makes less neither their readiness nor their capacity to do again the
like wrong, when occasion offers, then, in SO far as it affects them, it
Isl failure.
The labitual criminal, it must be remembered, is a product of
modern civilization. OUR ANCESTORS WOULD HAVE
HANGED HIM FOR HIS FIRST FELONY, or, if by any
chance he escaped this fate, he would have almost surely died of somo
of the maladies then endemic in prisons, while awaiting trial for the
second.

No Shortage In
Crop of Good Men.
By Governor HUGHES of New York.

AoSHA NSW AOA
t isa GREAT MISTAKE to think that this country is full
of men who pursue only dishonor and chicanery. Iii wrong.
This country is full of men who are anxious to attain in
their lives what is HONORABLE IN BRAVE and who
ask for nothing but a fair chance and a square deal in the pursuit of
their respective labors or profession. There is one thing we should
always remember We must never think of ourselves as APART
FROM OTHER MEN or other classes Of men. The farmer must
regard the man who works in the factory as his brother and the state
as the state of all.
1T is IMPORTANT TO THE STATE THAT WE SHOULD GROW
HERE SOMETHING MORE THAN CORN, HAY OR APPLES. WHAT
WE NEED MOST URGENTLY is TO GROW GOOD MEN-MEN WITH
CHARACTER. AND, THANK GOD, THE CROP OF GOOD MEN IN
NEW YORK STATE is BIGGER TODAY THAN 1T EVER WAS IN
ALL ITS HISTORY
Perhaps | have had as much opportunity as any man to look into
the forms of corruption that have arisen in connection with our fnan-
cal life and the vast opportunities it offers. Far be it from me to
minimize the AWFUL waste of manhood, the waste Of splendid
opportunity for noble attainments by men whom we have seen 90
down before the awful temptations of that prosperity.
BUT CANNOT FORGET FOR ONE MINUTE THAT IN THIS
COUNTRY WE HAVE UNTOLD NUMBERS WHO ARE WILLING TO
DEAL JUSTLY WITH THEIR FELLOW MEN AND ASK NOTHING
MORE FROM THE STATE THAN AN EQUAL CHANCE.

Capital and Confidence.

Of New York city bonds was oversub-
scribed five times does not look much
as if there was a scarcity of money.
Mr.. Hartman in fact says there Is
plenty of money and frantically APP
peals to those who have it to let loose
of it. Perhaps the fear of Hartman
methods, which have had considerable
publicity during the past year, is one
of the most potent reasons why people
do not ''loosen up" 1t has been shown
that Mr.. Hartman and other railroad
manipulators have secured their full
share of good things they have been
able to pull off, while smaller investors
have sometimes had doubts as to
theirs.
One great reason why a popular is
sue of the bonds of a great city like
New York appeals to ordinary investors
is their firm belief that they will get 4
square deal. The mar with $1,000
knows that he will stand ON the same
level with the man who has S1O,OO0,-
600. His money will have the same Sc
curity and it will bring the same re-
turn. Good railroad securities should
be and generally are safe investments.
but any casual observer has been able
to see that the same confidence in
these securities does not prevail today
that prevailed in the past.
The swift methods of later day high
finance are too swift for many conserv-
atives. Safety fist is what the sen
sible investor looks for. That, how
or the primal consideration of recent
methods. But a change is taking
place. Gradually the investment pub
lie is getting back to the fir,iFfl5elief
that the old plan is best-in fact. that
it is the only plan upon which business
a be done safely and comfortably.
The promoter who seeks capital upon
possibilities merely is going to have a
hard time. and perhaps he ought to
have Men with money are not al.
from Missouri, but they have the Mis-
souri, frame of mind-they must be
shown.
When shown, however, they are
as willing to embark now as they ever
We're. This is proven by the New
York city bond Offering. The bonds
pay a good, fair interest; the security
is unimpeachable-two elements and
essary to influence men with o to
listen to Mr.. Harriman's plea to "loosen
up"
Altogether, matters are improving.
The general situation is getting bet
ter. The real business men of the
country are to be congratulated. The
gamblers and spectators may not like
it exactly, but the country's prosperity
does not depend upon them so much
for its stability and growth as they
sometimes seem to think it does. The
people of this country-that vast ma
iority which goes on day by day mind
ing its w business and saving wood
are all right. They are hard to rouse.
but when it is put up to them and put
squarely and forcibly, whether it be a
question of politics or finance, they
usually decide it right.

MUSICIANS as we are SMQ TO see uney are DONG,
should take pains to disseminate knowledge needful for a clear under
standing of the causes of blindness.
THE TIME FOR LIMITING AT UNPLEASANT TRUTHS is PAST.
LET US INSIST THAT THE STATES PUT INTO PRACTICE EVERY
KNOWN AND APPROVED METHOD OF PREVENTION AND THAT
PHYSICIANS AND TEACHERS OPEN THE DOORS OF KNOWLEDGE
WIDE FOR THE PEOPLE TO ENTER IN.
The facts are not agreeable reading. Often they are REVOLT
ING. But it is better that our sensblites should lie shocked than
that we should be ignorant of facts upon which rest SIGHT, HEAR
ING, INTELLIGENCE, MORALS N THE LIFE OF THE
CHILDREN OF MEN.
Let us do our best to rend the thick curtain with which society is
hiding its eyes from UNPLEASANT But NEEDFUL TRUTH.
We read that in one year Indiana has appropriated OVER A
MILLION DOLLARS to aid and increase institutions for the blind,
the deaf, the insane, the feeble minded, the epilephcal. Surely the
time has come for us to ASK PLAIN QUESTIONS AND TO
RECEIVE PLAIN ANSWERS. While we do our part to alleviate
present disease, let us press forward in the scientific study which shall
reveal our bodies as SACRED TEMPLES OF THE SOUL.
WHEN THE PROMISES OF THE FUTURE ARE FULFILLED AND
WE RIGHTLY UNDERSTAND OUR BODIES AND OUR RESPONSE

FOR DETECTIVES WHICH ARE NOW OUR PRIDE WILL BECOME
TERRIBLE MONUMENTS TO OUR IGNORANCE AND THE NEED.
LESS MISERY THAT WE ONCE ENDURED.
