At is the person, not the thing,
That does the wrong, and he,
Who is behind that which offends,
Must pay the penalty.
The fire that burns the house is not
Called into court to stand
And answer for the crime, but he
Who Yields the firing brand
The gun that shoots man to death
Goes free for what is done,
But be must take the punishment
Who held the deadly gun.
The man behind the corporate crime
Must of himself make good;
The corporation merely does
What he directs it should.

And he must suffer for the wrong

HOW . Jnror was Lost.

In southern county of Missouri
years ago, when the form of question
ing was slightly different than now,
much trouble was experienced in get
ting jury in murder trial. Finally
an old fellow answered every question
satisfactorily; he had no prejudices,
was not opposed to capital punish
ment and was generally valuable
find. Then the prosecutor said sol
EMMY:
Juror, look upon the prisoner;
prisoner, look upon the juror"
The old man adjusted his spec
tacles and peered at the prisoner for
a full half minute. Then turning to
the court he said
Judge, durn If I don't believe he's
guilty. Kansas City Star.

WISE WORDS.


1t is microbe that causes the suf-
fragettes, and that microbe is man.
1t is as hard to make freakish
person understand a normal position
as it is to make colt eat Goldfish.
Will power is strong in some peo-
pie, and won't power is just as re-
markable in others.
To a woman in love little things
seem big, and to man in love big
things seem little.
1t is truly remarkable how pretty
most any woman is when she isn't
ugly.
A good guess is sure winner if
there is none better and guessing
goes.
The only way we can get back at
other people is by talking about them.
That's why we do it.
The man who never goes wrong,
doesn't go very far nor show very
great consequences arising from his
going.
The ordinary successful man
doesn't owe so much to his friends as
he does to the easy marks that glad
dened his path.

MAN THE PRINCE OF
PEACE, SAYS SPECIALIST.
Or. William Hanna Thomson
Says This is an Evil World, and
in It Only Man is Good.

No wonder this so sickened the
gentle spirit of Gautama Buddha that
he thought all conscious life must be
evil, and therefore longed for Nirva-
mas eternal quiet, with no conscious
ness there forevermore The Bud
dhist's heaviest punishment, there
fore, for deadly sin is that his soul
shall survive and enter into filthy
pig or migrate into starveling dog.
In truth, no candid mind can rest sat
isfied with any attempts to minimize
the existence Of positive evil in this
physical world Still more futile is it
to dispose Of the problem by denying
its existence.
A different aspect of this grave
subject presents itself when we ade-
Quately appreciate the significance Of
the greatest event in the history of
life on this earth. That event was
the coming into this terrible world Of
that prince of peace, Homo Sapiens.
BY his wisdom, and not by muscle, he
became king over all. Soon he began
to remove animals from their native
wild state and domesticated them in
such numbers that the earth now has
more focks of sheep and goats, more
herds of cattle, more horses and cam
els and we'll cared for fowls than ever
it had before. All acknowledge his
dominion as one of right, and so it is,
because those who submit to him are
much better off than they were in a
state of nature. AS to those creatures
who will not submit, but will stay
wild, their plain destiny is to survive
here only In menageries.
This is illustrated even in the free
flying birds. It is only about the
house of the farmer, in his orchards
and meadows. that little birds build
their nests and sing joyously, because
they know that their cruel enemies
dare not come where man makes his
abode. No bird which secludes itself
in dense forest has decent note
compared with the merry song SPAR
row, the bluebird, the lark and the
warbling bobolink. From 1.-THE Ma
ture of Physical Life, in Everybody's.

DISPUTE IS SETTLED.
Court Adjusts Accounts Between De-
troit and Crosse Pointe Park.

An adjustment OF the financial rela-
tions between Detroit and the village
OF Crosse Pointe Park has been made
by Judge Hosmer. When Detroit an
nexed the major portion OF Fairview
several years ago the remainder OF the
village was reincorporated as Crosse
Pointe Park and the financial obliga-
lions of Fairview have been disputed

that Detroit annexed "a per cent

WARDEN RUSSELL
SCORES WARNER
Abolition Of Private Contracts in
Prisons Unwise Move, Declares
Marquette Official.

Warden Russell, of the Marquette
ner administration for securing the
passage of a law abolishing private
contracts in the prisons OF the state
after Dec. 81, 1911, In a joint meeting
Of the prison boards, pardon board
and state board of corrections and
charities, In the Hotel Pontchartrain.
Thursday afternoon. The law, II al
lowed to stand, means a heavy add
tional burden on the taxpayers OF the
state, ana II may mean loss OF reason
for many convicts, he said. IL private
contracts are abolished there will be
nothing left to do but lock the convicts
in their cells, he said. Gov. Warner,
who was present, merely smiled at the
warden's remarks.
Both Warden Russell and Warden
Fuller, the latter OF the Ionia reforma-
tory. agreed that II would not be feast
lie TO use convicts for building roads.
and this opinion seemed to be gen
cral.
Warden Russell reported that Mar
puette now has SIC inmates, so VI
whom are "lifers." In Jackson there
are 1876 prisoners The report from
that prison showed that the inmates
earned $36,S99.70 overtime from prt.
vate contracts in the last two years
while prisoners employed on the
binder Irvine contract, a state con-
tract. earned but 81 ,297.97 overtime.
Warden Fuller raped the poll
ticians In his report. He said IN part:
There are few who would not
do half task except under coercion,
and 1t was such coercion applied ii
the few Weary Willies who will do no
willing work that caused the disgrace

ors that rigid discipline and faithful
labor are enforced III prison to enrich
contractors Ia vicious yellow fiction.
Industry is the hardest thing to teach
in prison. but without 1t there wouli
tic no reformation"
Warden Fuller paid compliment to
Supt. Mcdonnell, of the Detroit house
Of correction, declaring that the instl-
tgtion stands first In business man

ons OF tn. county and there are only
two or three of the big state peniten-
tiaries that make anywhere nearly as
