Our Treatment Of Criminals.
rJ,,flca mckenzie Cleland,

II there is one truth today so self
evident as to require no demonstrate on,
it is that our treatment Of criminals
is stupid, utter, abject failure. There
is no more pathetic and humiliating
sight than that OF a great civilized ma
ton, standing in the full blaze OF the
glorious twentieth century, with up
lifted club TO beat into submission It's
weak and unfortunate citizens. Car
lyle said. "A great man shows his
greatness by the way he treats little
men," and when the state, with all it's
tremendous power. seizes upon a poor.
weak. helpless individual and brushes
him into shapeless ruin it exhibits lit
tie true greatness.
Society is made up OF two classes,
the weak and the strong, and it should
be the aim OF government TO take its
citizens out Of the weak class and put
them in that elias where they will be
self-reliant and self-supporting. This
can never be done by present methods.
which only make them weaker and
more helpless.
II man is willing to reform. civic
Righteousness not less than comm on
xeIse demands that he be given the
opportunity to do go, before he IS
ruined ard rendered helpless by Inn
prisonment- This is probation az dis
from parole.

The LAW OF COMPENSATION HOLDS.

The law Of compens ation is inf2llible
and memorable. Let none seek to es-
cape its penalty. With what measure
ye have meted shall be measured again
to you, perhaps fourfold in sorrow and
cruel bitterness Of spirit. The good
that men do seems often 10 lack its
reward, but payment for evil, tho de-
ferred, never fails.
The son who grieves his parents may
expect to pay his debt with multiplied

parents, who disregards obedience, de-
MES confidence and refuses affection
draws a certain draft on sorrow which
she shall pay in agony. Let her have
no children. If she bears children she
has mortgaEed her hope of happiness
in them. Let her deny herself children
for with them she shall add to remorse
the sharpest pang Of the penalty-the
lnGroletude, disobedience and defiance
Of her own flesh and blood brought to
rince. For the law OF compensation is
5.as. II ;nexorable. The seed We SOW We
shall reap.
Bolieve It. 1t is true. Men and
women have tested it and it has not
failed. For every tear then shall be
tsars, for every sigh shall signs be rem
deeed again and every hour of sorrow
sowed shall be garnered in nights of
weeping. Men may seem to escape.
Hut mono escape. Men hold stern faces
over ceaseless pain and women force
smiles above a breaking heart. But
the law endures. 1t Is immutable I'M

today that the proverbial straWs are
unreliable as indicating direction. And
in 4 time Of shifting and gusty political

Chairman Mckinley assures Taft

Most Of this is bluff on both sides.

her Of voters settled it there. Given

The good wife gets the children

week and for an hour on Sunday. and
nine times out Of ten she has not been
in either school for ten minutes for the
past ten years. II the child likes
the teacher and does not register any
kicks all is serene. What an uplift there
would be if patrons OF both sexes would
at least once a year visit the public
school and evince an interest in the
work 1t might be we'll II parents
would look in on the Sunday school

WHY NOT EVERY COUNTY,

I ~
An interesting competition TO decide
which is the best farm in Scott county
closed last week. The contest was
brought about thru the offer OF sub
stantial prize by the Scott County
Mercantile Company. Twelve farms
were entered for the contest. Points
considered by the judges were condi-
ton and quality Of the soil and Guilt
walton: condition OF buildings and
fences: the equipment Of improved ma
chinery ard vehicles. The first prize
was awarded to Bruce T. Seaman.
1t strikes us that a similar contest in
Cedar county in connection with the
farmers institute would arouse lot
OF interest Liberal prizes could easily
be secured. and the competition would
be bound to be close.
