COURAGE, AND
GOOD CHEER!

The times are slowly Frightening.
The trend of business is toward a re
turn of the prosperity that departed
SO suddenly last fall. Progress is
slow, and every step is laborious 1t
is very hard to climb back TO the
heights. but the beginning has been
made, and with stout hearts the peo-
pie ARE facing the task. There is
hope and confidence in the very fact
that the march is in the right direc-
ton, says the Washington Post.
This is not a time for bitterness
and recrimination. The question now
is. not how the panic happened, but
how to remove it's effects. 1t may be
that the people were overindulgent,
humoring themselves, running into
debt without a thought of the future,
thus gradually erecting a greater su-
perstructure than the foundation
could support. If prosperity was lost
partly on account of adverse legisla-
ton b ycongress and the state legis-
latures. let us, by legislation, try to
recover 1t. If there has been too much
activity on the part of the government,
why not a little less? The country
has received a tremendous shaking
up-enough to last it at least until
prosperity is regained. Bad men and
bad corporations have been punished
and destroyed The people have been
admonished, and they are no longer
unaware of the dangers of dishonesty
in business. Whatever the cause of
the depression, it is the duty of the
government, of the state legislatures,
and of every man to do everything
possible to restore American prosper
ity. The government can do much,
and can refrain from doing much, that
wiH assist the people to renew their
activities. The state legislatures can
help by refusing to enact oppressive
ana vindctive laws. which disturb
business Individuals can do their
share by exercising fortitude and pa
, tience, and by refraining from bitter
expressions over what has happened.
No one can be certain as to the real
reason for the shock to prosperity,
and, even If the blame could be 10
Gated. il would not be wise to spend
time in reproaches. We believe that
corporations, including railroads, are
doing their best to restore prosperity
by strictly observing the law. even in
a technical sense. They are reassur
ing the government that American
business is not resting upon rotten
timbers. but upon solid and lasting
foundations.
Not enc bit of our natural wealth
has been destroyed. The farms are as
fertile as before. the stores of mineral
are as great, the waters still run, and
the forests still wave. The mind and
muscle Of the American people are
jast as clear and vigorous as ever
Good cheer, then, and courage! Lei
every man face the future, turning
his back upon the past, and let every
hand be turned to the task that viii
restore god times to all!

Scientists Outvote Koch.

Just before the closing of the Interna-
tional Congress on tuberculosis at Wash
ington, the members went on record al
most unanimously against the theory adj
vanced and defended by Prof. Robert
Koch of Germany that tuberculosis is not
transmissable between animals and man.
The day before that DR.. Koch himself
had called a special conference to dis
cuss his theory, and many men of promi-
nence gave their testimony to the effect
that consumption can be traced to milk
infection. The resolution as adopted is
THAT preventive measures be continued
against bovine tuberculosis and that the
possibility Of the propagation Of this to
man be recognized" This will be re-
garded as authoritative, at least until the
next congress, which it was decided to
hold at Rome in 1910. President Roose-
welt attended the firal session and praised
the work of scientists everywhere. The
great gathering of scientists before adj
journment annp1nced its position favora-

A STRANGE SENTENCE.
Punishment for Murder that Was
More Cruel than Death.

Punishment for Murder that Was
More Cruel than Death.
In 1901 a man died in the Catskills
who had been condemned by one of
the %strangest sentences on record.
Ralph Sutherland was born in 17O1 and
lived in a stone house near Leeds. He
was a man Of violent temper and mo-
ros disposition, Stunned by his neigh
bors and generally disliked. Not be-
ing able to get an American servant,
he imported a Scotchwoman, and, ac-
cordiDg to the usages of the times, yir-
tually held her in bondage until her
passage money had been refunded.
Unable to endure any longer the
raging temper Of her master, the girl
ran away. Immediately upon discover
ing her absence the nan set of in an
angry chase upon his horse and soon
overlook her. The poor woman never
reached the house alive, and Suther-
land was indicted and arrested on the
charge Of murder.
at the trial he tried to prove that
his horse had taken fright, u away,
pitched him out Of the saddle and
dashed the girl to death upon the
rocks, but the jury did not accept the
defense, and Sutherland was sentenced
to die upon the scafrold.
Then came the plea Of the INSULT
cheney Of circumstantial evidence and
the efforts Of influential relatives.
These so worked upon the court that
the judge delayed the sentence Of death
until the prisoner should be 90 years
old.
1t was ordered that the culprit
should be released upon his own re-
cognizance and that, pending the final
execution of his sentence, he should
keep a hangman's moose about his neck
and show himself before the judges Of
Catskill once a year to prove that he
wore his badge of infamy and kept
his crime in mind. 1t was a more
cruel decision than the sentence of i'm
mediate death would have been, Blu
it was no doubt in harmony with the
spirit Of the times.
Thus Ralph Sutherland lived. He al
ways lived Alone. He seldom spoke.
His rough, imperious manner had gone.
Years followed years. At each session
Of the court the broken man came be-
fore the bar Of justice and silently
showed the moose that circled his neck.
At last his ninety-ninth year came,
the time when the court had ordered
that the utmost penalty of the law
should be executed. For the last time
the man tottered before the judges
bench, but new judges had arises IN
the land, new laws had been made, old
crimes had been forgotten or forgiven,
ana there was none who would accuse
him or execute sentence. Indeed, the
awful restriction that had bound his
life SO intimately to the expiration OF
his crime was now legally removed.
But the spirit of self-punishment con-
tinued, and when Sutherland. after he
had passed his hundredth year, was
discovered dead. alone in his house, his
throat was found to be encircled by
the rope which had been placed there

To Aid Home FINDING society.

Officers OF the National Home Finding
Society have succeeded in interesting the
President in their work. One of these,
Theodore Dresser. told the President that
there are now 10000 dependent children
without homes. except sudh as are afford
ed by charity. As the result Of the So
ciety's efforts. there are more private
homes open to homeless children than
taere are children. All that is needed is
to bring the homeless to the homes. Many
institutions are unwilling to release the
children when good homes are found for
them. 1t is expected that the President
viii take up this subject with Congress.
