The United States Penal System Is A Failure.
By BRAND WHITLocK.

Our penal system is failure; only do not know it
yet Governments have tried it for thousands of years.
and government is reported saying that the tenden
cy to crime still exists Our penal system only hurts and
never helps its Victims direct Indirect whether they
are innocent or guilty. 1t deers some from committing
me and makes hypocrtes of more and wholly ignores
economic social for crime and makes allow
for personality 1t failure because it is founded
in fear and hatred and cruelty and cowardce 1t merc
ess gnds the poor and the weak in the interest OF the
strong 1t proceeds from and dwells the bad in man,
not the good We shall have system that will do good
only when society recognizes its responsibility for
crime and lives up it, and when dwels upon and de-
veops the good in instead of the bad The present
winter will witness many hardshps because of the Wall
street panic There will be many men out of work and
many hungry and there will be small thefts hold
ups and winter crimes or might say, winter ne
cessities 1t might be well for the government to get
out some statistics showing why there is crime after
financial panics and industrial depressOns than in good
times Why the hod-up and pursesnatchers always
up with the first cold weather, and why, when the
mills shut down, there hoboes and yeggs on
freight trains You might pursue all these little crimes
to the their original source and cause 1t would not be
long before there would be necessity for statistics on
crime and then in idle hour, the clerks in the sta
stical bureau might occupy themselves with tracing the
relation between the vu crimes of force and Violence
and the artistic crimes of craft and artistic
crimes which do have to break laws because they make
the laws to suit themselves.

did the Aztecs and our shafts of and persecution

the human blood gshed out and stained the great stone

fered in the old days not all helpless victims some
went to the stake cheeruy content to die for their con-
vicons They made victims for personal revenge
and public honor which could be attained except by

For Township Trustee.

Mr.. Reinhard Fink on request
of his old and new friends an
nounces himself as a candidate
for cambridge Township Trustee.
He is a citizen of this township
and has been for the last thirty
three years. He is business
man as well as a farmer. In the
past he has been conducting bus
mess in vario1s lines and has
never failed. At present he.i a
farmer and Dairyman and we'll
known by the citi ems of the
township.
Mr. Fink fulfilled the duties
of the Trustees Office for four
years, namely from 1901 1905.
He made a great numbtr of i'm
provements, building and re-
Imodling several school houses
and also a great number of
bridges. He really was the Trus-
tee that put the Township on a
firm and good financial footing,
not having a single outsf anding
debt of any kind whatever when
his term expired. The editor
can give evidence of this himself
on account of previous publlca-
TORS in the COURIER during Mr..
IFinl ;; e official years. During
the last two years of his admin
Iistration he tax levy was seS
and the ,i,icial records and re-
ports G AHMED and approved
Il by Jaco Burger Jr. an expert
|memter of the Advisory Board.
If there was any error in regard
to these, let him make it known
to the public.
AS there has been so much
rumoring about Mr. Fink's
salary below is a true copy a;
taken from the official record for
the different years.
1901 $235.75
1902 1912 25
1903 s238 rs
1904 1924. 90
The above includes compensation
for the discharge of all of his
duties.
He s well qualified and exper-
Iienced for the position he is
seeking and if elected will no
doubt make an efficien officer.
The voters will certainly make a
wise selection in selecting him Tor

Feat Of a Greek Scholar.

1t may safely be said that no feat
Of translation in any age has ever
equaled that achieved by Professor
Jebb in rendering Browning's "Abt
Vogler" into Greek verse. This fine
soliloquy of the musician is less OBJ
scure, no doubt, than many other Of
its authors productions, but it
abounds in imagery and in turns Of
thought which even an Englishman
finds it not very easy to follow and
of which he could hardly have con-
ceived it possible that any Greek
equivalents could exist. Yet they
did exist, for Jebb found them,
though it may be doubted whether
any other Greek scholar living
would have been equally successful
in his search.-London Telegraph.

Careful OF Appearances

"My dear, If you must scold. do so.
but please do not beat the furniture at
the same time. The neighbors might
form a wrong impression. "-Fliegende
Blatter.
At one time in a certain peniten-
tiary there was a renaissance In the
moral discipline of the prison, and
all were compelled to attend chapel
regularly. One of the prisoners
came to the warden one day and
begged to be allowed to remain
away from the chapel exercises, as
he wanted Sundays to write letters
to his friends. The warden looked
at the beseeching convict in amaze
ment. what" he exclaimed, sal
low you to stay away from religious
exercises ali the time. No, sir.
Why, man, don't you know that's
part of the penalty 2" And the con-
vict continued to worship regularly,
while the warden led in prayer.

Superstition In Calcutta.

The grossest superstition exists
in Calcutta. Not long ago an In
dian gentleman residing in Jaun
Bazar street had a live goat flung
down from his two storied house in
accordance with the directions of a
so called magician, who was called
in to cast out a devil with which =
son was supposed to be possessed.
The poor brute was first fed with a
few bamboo leaves over which the
wizard mumbled some mantras, and
it vas ther pushed over the terrace
The animal was killed, and its flesk
was distributed to the poor.

Domestic ArSGnSniC.

Thousands of tons of arsenic
are wasted annually in the fumes
that pour from the stacks OF the
great smelters of the United
States, yet Notwithstanding this
waste. or perhaps because of it
more than 5000, 1000 pounds of
arsenic and arsenic compounds,
costing about 1915. 600. were i'm
ported into this country in 1906.
The domestic production for the
same period was only a little
more than one-sixth of the guam
tity imported and was valued at
but s63, 100.
Arsenic ores are widely dlstri-
buted. particularly in the granite
and highly metamorphosed rocks,
and ores of tin, copper and anti
mony are frequently accompan-
led by those of arsenic. Native
arsenic, a tin white brittle sub
stance occupying a place midway
bet tween the metals and non-met-
ais, is found sparinglyin in veins at
a number of places, but 1t IS not
important as an ore.
France. England. Germany,
Portugal, Spain. Turkey, Canada
and the United States are the
principal producing countries.
