writer seems to be ignorant of the vast
difference there is between mere hui
man sentiment, or, as otherwise ex-
pressed, religious frenzy, and the
rigid demands of the three classes OF
law under which the human family
must abide, or otherwise suffer the
penalty, viz: Divine law, the law of
polite society, and the law of the land
The violator of either of these three
laws is a culprit and must be punished
according to his crime. 1t Is written
by divine inspiration "a sinner shall
not go UNPUBLISHED"
/ would state just here that the
writer of the Strong Argument"
which is merely human sympathy, is
but following the trend of American
ism which insists that we must do
away with both law and penalty; and
thus REFUGE the classes of the chill
dren Of men" down to the lowest
strata of human depravity. President
Roosevelt and also Ex-Governor HOgg
of Texas, are public opponents of
AmeTicanism in their speeches. Roose-
welt says: Il Will have been in every

her citizenship is on par" That is
Booker Washington and Roosevelt are
on a dead level Hogg's expression is
not fit to be repeated. 1t draws
magnificent picture of diabolicalism
when Christian ladies and gentlemen
are put down with the negro and the

The Sultan of Turkey asked Proc

promptly replied: In order to keep

This scribe is no part of sentimen-
talist, from bOyhood he has believed
in Iaw-the evidence, and the punish
ment-and never punish one man for
a crime committed by another man,
either against God or humanity Law
has taught me that there are but three
penalties to be inflicted upon the Grim
inal, viz: The lash-"40 stripes save
one'-the gallows, and hard labor
for the convicted. Hence l have for
so years advocated the doctrine of
making the criminal pay his fine and
costs of experiences by hard labor on
public improvements for the state and
county. And when his wages as la
borer on public improvements shall
have balanced his costs and fine, then
turn MIN loose whether a penitent or

public road, everyone in passing sees
that he is serving his term, and is
thus publicly paying back to the pub
