Growth In Moral EeeIln1

For long period far too long our civ
ilization was based on the theory that the
individual should take care OF himself
so far as possible We have grown so
much away from that idea that We have
almost become faddIsts in our mad de-
sire to care for every i'll under the sun.
Il is OF course. tendency in the right
direction, and II growing sentimentality

side.
In England they seem to be going a
bit farther than ourselves. and bill is
now pending before the British Parlia-
ment which provides for the treatment
Of hebitual criminals as II they were OF

agree that they are. II Is proposed TO
erect special place Of detention for
them. not TO be called a prison, and to
this place are TO be sent all criminals
convicted for the fourth time. They
will be incarcerated for no fixed term.
no matter what their offense. and they
will be considered as patients to be
treated scientifically by experts. They
will not be discharged until they have
been pronounced cured. Those who are
regarded as hopeless win be detained
through life.
There is much TO be said in favor OF
this advanced humanitarian scheme. II
eliminates entirely the question. always
more or less prevalent. OF how far So

aetuated by the spirit Of revenge for

out hope; it is a blot on our social order
But when such Incarceration carries with
it expert treatment for the criminal dis

fact that criminals are weaker brethren.

WONDERLAND.

Sweet eyes by sorrow still unwet.
To you the world IS ndiant vet.
A palace hall Of splendid truth
Touched by the golden haze Of youth,
Where hopes and JOYS are ever rife
Amid the mystery Of life:
And seeking all 70 understand,
The World 70 you Is Wonderland.
! turn 20 watch with unshed tear
The furrowed track Of ended years;
| see the eager hopes that wane.
The joys that die in deathless paiu,
The crowned Faith that falsehoods shake
The souls that faint, the hearts that break.
The truth by ivid lips bemoaned.
The Right defiled. the Wrong enthroned-
Ard striving still to understand.
The world to me Is Wonderland.

The puzzled thought itself shall die:
When like the thicb of distant drums.
The call inertable comes
To hlurring 'HfIn and weary lirnb.
And when the aching eyes grow dim.
And fast the gathering shadows creep
To lull the drowsy sense asleep.
We two 'tall slumtcr hand TO hand,
To wake. perhaps, IL Wonderland.

Not PanIc-stricken.

From the Kansas City Star.
DR.. Mcnamara, a member OF the Brit
fish Parliament, tells Of a school teacher
who was endeavoring 20 convey the idea
OF pity to the members OF his class. He
Illustrated it by a little story: Now, sup
posing" he said. "a man working on the
river bank suddenly fell in. He could not
swim and would be in danger Of drown
ing. Picture the scene, boys and girls.
The mans sudden fall. the cry for help.
His wife, knowing his peril and hearing
his screams. rushed Immediately to the
bank. Why does she rush 10 the bank?r
After pause a small voice piped forth:
Please, sir, 10 draw his insurance

Fraud Defined.

From the ST. Louis Post Dispatch
II the President in Washington with his
eagle eye sees fraud in the 'steenth dis
trict of Panama. Of course he should
seize the little nation. Between seeing
and seizing. no smallest interval OF time
should be allowed. In this country a
magistrate must not only see but prove
such fraud before he asserts his au-
thority, but in the case OF Panama the
rule doesn't hold. Fraud is assumed
when the voters don't vote right.

Why Is Thisf

From the Macon Telegraph
The prosperity-making and all-wlse Re-
publican party has been in power twelve
years. and yet during that time social
unrest and Socialism have made trenlcn-
dous strides. Why IS this? On reason
is that the G. o. P. makes prosperity
only for certain favo.ed interests. An
other reason is that socialistic paternal-
ism is leading principle OF he party so
long IN uoWer.

Sentimental Oregon.

From the Independence Enterprise
Judging from the temper of the peo-

unsafe one that Bryan will be the next
