The Insult to HDixie.n

One cannot but experience a feeling
OF impatience with Senator Heyburn's
continued and unreasoning attacks
against everything that pertains to the
Southland. He 1t was who was most
bitter in his opposition to the erec4
ton OF the statue OF General Robert
T.. Lee in the Capitol at Washington.
and now he has further embittered
himself to that section of the country
by ordering an orchestra to stop play.
Ing Dixie" in his presence.
In doing so he gratuitously casts a
fling at every Democrat who fought
under the flag OF the Union during
the Civil War. This Is a Republican
meeting" he said when he ordered
the selection stopped. "And we want
no such tunes here" He evidently
forgot that there were any number of
Democrats who marched against that
tune and who now sing It with all the
fervor OF their Republican comrades
who have also learned to respect and
love it.
Senator Hepburn is unfortunate in
two things. One of them is that he
cannot for the life OF him get il
through his head that peace with the
South was declared some time ago
and the other is his evident inability
to appreciate a martial and inspiring
air.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Don't Send the Boy to Jail.

On the other hand, we think the
statistics would show that at least
three-fourths of the criminals of the
country, if not larger percentage,
committed their first crime before
they were twenty-one years of age.
1t is an Impressive fact. 1t empha-
sizes the necessity of early train
ing. 1t emphasizes the famous saying
OF the Wise Man. 1t does more. 1t
emphasizes the Importance of Juve-
nile Courts and reformatories. BOYS
and girls who are caught in a crimi.
nal act should be dealt with gently
and discretly. If they are arraigned
in the criminal courts and sent to jail
with hardened criminals, they will be
destroyed. The Jail is veritable
school for crime and never a reforma-
tory. The penitentiary is almost as
bad. If criminal youth is to be
reclaimed he must be sent to an in.
stitution which has that in view as
the prime object of its existence. And
better still the best endeavor of the
authorities should be excited to re-
claim him without sending him to any
institution-by putting him on proba.

In the Albert hall last night with the
following:
In Germany learned OF the death

only. but all Christendom, had lost
an unobtrusive but wise counselor, a
power for peace and good will among
men. take this opportunity to ex-
press to this great audience my SYM
PATTY. which, 1 assure you, Is shared
by the great majority OF my American
sountrymen. My first thought was
that out OF respect for the illustrious
dead. his family and the nation this
service should be postponed. but my
second thought was TO the contrary.
Surely at no more fitting hour could
we consider the great hereafter
There Is, thank God. a hereafter for
kings as well as peasants. Royal
mourners and mourning nation need
message from Gods word particu-
hrly now, and. since no more repre-
sentative audience Will probably as
semble In this capital OF the empire, I
have suggestion to offer, which I
trust will have your approval It is
that before Offering prayer we show
our sympathy for the royal family in
their bereavement by standing"
After about minute, while silent
prayer was offered, Pastor Russell Of
fered prayer generally and requested
the great audience to sing one verse
Of Nearer, My God. to Thee" The
whole scene was very impressive.
