Licking Valley courier. [volume] (West Liberty, Ky.) 19??-current, 1911-07-13

One day this week the
Courier Office was favored
by a visit from a man who
had heard the voice of the
Lord and accepted a call to
g. preach. He produced a
bit Of paper which he said
was a minister's license and
asked how much it would
COST to have a copy printed.
Our printer looked over the
m n1script and told the
Rev? unknown (for we did
not learn his nance that it
WIS worth a dollar to put up
a form, take proof correct
etc, but owing to the fact
that he only wanted one
copy.we would do the job for
fifty cents, whereupon Mr..
Preacher man scratched his
Uranium, emitted something
between a grunt and a groan
and beat a hasty retreat
from our sanctum sancto-
rum, vouchsafing the infor-
nation that maybe" he
would come back and have
the work done.
"Maybe" he will and
"maybe" he won't come
back, at any rate ne hasn't
yet shown up, and we pre-
sumo that the fifty cent
proposition shocked his SUI
per sensitive soul to the ex-
tent that never again will
he honor a print shop with
with his august presence.

All OF these mighty express COM
panies had small beginnings but by
using portion of their yearly earn
ings to enlarge their business they
soon doubled. trebled and quadru-
pied their original capital, and at
the same time earned handsome div
idends on the increment. Only q
few years ago. the Adams express
company declared a special diyi-
dend of 800 per cent; which means
they gave each stock holder $500
for every $1.OO's worth of stock
held. A year later, another express
company Wells Fargo) paid 200
per cent dividend and all this came
from a surplus that piled up while
large dividends were maintained.
Ninety million people want a
Parcels Post, while ninety men
who own the express companies
don't want it, and this in itself is
the best arg ument for it's establish
ment.

The Weather Department is crit-
icised by the Charleston, South Car
olina papers for falling to give adj
vance information Of the recent
great storm which devastated that
city. The Department replies that
there is nothing in the science of
meteorology that will enable us to
determine in advance Of its appear
ance when and where a storm will
develop" The Departments use-
fulness lies largely in giving warn
ing of storms after they have devel-
oped, and, notwithstanding the dis
satisfaction Of some Charlestonians,
mariners and farmers generally will
continue to regard the Departments
work as indespensabl Outlook.

Mother
a. r. B.


She was sitting in an old rocking
chair. beneath one of the shady trees
that were to be found around the
yard. The faded fashioned
shawl that she wore was drawn
closely around her shoulders for the
air was chilly. Her thoughts SEEM
ed to be far away. Time had left
its burrows upon her kindly face.
Her eyes once blue as Heavens
dome, were now dimmed because
of the many nights of weeping and
days of watching for him who had
not returned. Still smile lit up
her kindly old face and in fancy
she was living life DER again. She
is at home with her husband and
baby boy. He was their first born
and all the love of a mothers heart
went out to this tiny morsel Of hu-
manity whom loving God had seen
fit to send.
She lives over again those happy
days, she seems to feel those little
arms clinging around her neck and
she hears again baby's voice call
mama in its childish way. Then
comes school days--how she missed
the little fellow, and how proudly
she felt, as year by year her little
boy kept on forging ahead, until one
day he returned bringing with him
the honors of his class. She remem-
bers the little worn out shoes, the
little hat ana coat that never could
be found without her aid. She re-
members when times were hard, and
the father lay idle many days, how
she would pretend TO be i'll so that
the boy might have the little NOR
j *
sells of food that would not suffice
for three. She does not regret those
days, for they are a comfort to
her. Gladly would she live them
over again if her boy were only
with her now.
School days over, she sees her
boy make his first start in business
life. She remembers the first few
dollars he brought b ONE and
how proudly he said: i am man
now, mother, and you and father
shall never want SO long as / am
able to work for you. =
Then there came weeks when no
money was brought home, and
nights when the mother lay en- a
restless bed waiting to hear the
footsteps of her hayward boy, re-
turning home IN the early morning
hours.

Long rison Sen

By Koslngg & Steady.

Acting upon the belief that the
reformation of the evil-doer is
the aim of those whose duty it is to
enforce the laws for the protection
of society, the question naturally
arise, to what degree does long terms
in prison tend to bring about this
hoped-for result? Or briefly: What
is the effect of a long prison term
on the man who has been found
guilty of transgressing the laws Of
man? In considering this question
We are confronted with two classes
of eyil-doers the first offender and
he habitual criminal; neither of
which are effected in the same man.
ner by long prison term. In the
case of the habitual criminal, long
prison sentence is often necessary,
not to bring about the reform of the
unfortunate, as that in many cases
is a result hardly to be hoped for,
but to rid society Of his baneful
presence. With the first offender,
more hopeful results may often be
looked for and in the case of this In
diyidual, long prison term is, I be-
lieve, not only unnecessary. but
when administered will surely les
sen his chances of ever regaining
his place as an honorable member
of society.
The belief is now well nigh obso-
lete that any man enters upon ca
reer Of crime by choice. There is
always some underlying cause, or
series of causes, which have led to
the downfall of every man who has
deviated from the path of right liv-
ing. Every phase of our social life
presents SO many conditions calcu-
lated to undermine the strongest
character. In the case of many,
where the early home training has
been neglected, the young man is
forced upon the world unprepared
to cope with the difficulties which
await him. Where an opportunity
to learn a trade or acquire the
knowledge necessary to gain foot
hold has not been afforded, condi-
tions are rendered more difficult.
Even where the early training has
not been neglected, an unfortunate
choice of companions or a heredi-
tary love for strong drink may
prove the undoing Of the best inten-
toned youth and lead to the COM
mission of a crime for which he may
be sentenced to long term Of
years. Statistics show that over
seventy-fve per cent of the unfortu-
mates of today owe their downfall to
the use of strong drink. The charge
has never been made that strong
drink cultivates in any man desire
co take that which does not belong
to him, but simply that its use so
deadens his sense Of right or wrong
that while under its influence he is
not accountable, to a large extent at
least, for the acts he may commit.
Now, consider the above condi-
tions and you have before you the
circumstances which may bring
about the downfall Of the frst-of-
fender. In the case Of the youth
whose misfortune is due to evil com
panions and the use Of strong drink,
his fall from graceSpay. in many in
stances, be accempl pliahed in single
night. The cirSumstances attending
the commissi0h ST his crime may be

in excess of what the unfortunate
thinks he deserves, his attitude is
certain to undergo change. The
idea fnds place in his mind that he
is being unreasonably punished
that he is not receiving a fair deal.
In such frame of mind he is hardly
likely to make much effort toward
preparing himself 70 success in
after life. Why? Not because he
is less desirous Of doing the right or
has the slightest inclination or de-
sire to lead life Of crime, but be-
cause he comes to recognize in those
Instrumental in his detention the
cause of his adversely and not his
own former follies. That the view
is an erroneous one makes no differ
ence, it is one of the results of
long prison term, continuance Of
which will soon undo the benefits
derived from his earlier confinement.
Five years is a long time to be de-
prived of ones freedom Five years
behind prison bars ought to be suf-
ficient to atone for almost any Of
tense against society except MUIR
der and crimes against morality.
Not only that, but FIVE years Of con-
finement ought to be sufficient
length of time to bring about the
reform of any man who is capable
OF being reformed. A longer period
only tends, in most instances, to
cause the unfortunate to retrograde.
And still, there are men in confne-
ment today whose memories scarcely
extend back to the commission Of
the crime that deprived them Of their
freedom. Men who could not fully
recall the circumstances or remem-
Der the names Of those who figured
with them in that tragical drama.
Fortunately many states, among
which is our own state ofMinnesota.
have adopted more humane methods
Of caring for those who are SO un-
fortunate as to break the law, meth
DDS which provide for the release of
the unfortunate when, in the opinion
OF those competent to Judge, his re-
form is complete, instead of determ-
ming the length of his banishment
from society by the crime committed
or the misleading and little-under-
stood circumstances surrounding it.
When man who has already
served a term in prison is again
convicted of the same or similar
crime, those designated to judge
often consider the relapse into evil
ways as proof that he was dealt
with too leniently, in his first Of
Tense. This may be true in some
case, but the time will come when
in the light of more judicial exer-
else Of the Golden Rule and such
like human methods Of dealing with
the offender, those same men on
looking back will see in such un-
fortunates not the result Of leniency,
but the victims Of the long prison
terms.

Ninety Million Vs.
Ninety
By IL K.

~ Ii N
The United States Of America is
the only civilized country in the
world that does not have Parcels
Post, and according to John Wan
amaker who was postmaster-gener
some years ago, there are only four
good reasons for this state of affairs
and these four reasons are the four
big express companies.
We don't need any change in our
constitution to have a Parcels Post
for those articles give congress the
power to fix the weight Of packets
carried through the mails. AT the
present time the limit is four pounds
in this country but at the same time
we transport packages of eleven
pounds to Europe.
1t looks like unjust discrimination
when one can send a package from
st. Paul TO London or Berlin for
considerable less than another pack
age of the same weight from St.
Paul to Saltwater, but when one
learns that the limit of weight on
the Saltwater package is four pounds
while eleven pounds can be sent to
London it ceases to be discrimina-
tion and is downright tyranny.
Our government accepts packages
for Europe but will not deliver same
from there if they are over the limit
and on account Of this fact the Ger
man government at their own ex-
pense maintain several mail wagons
in New York city, to deliver pack
ages shipped from that country by
Parcels Post.
Every year we have big deficit
i'm our postal service while every
other civilized country including
Canada have a surplus. The reason
for this must be iii the profits de-
rived from their Parcels Post for
that is the only difference between
our service and theirs. If Canada
with a population of only 5000, 900
(less than one-tenth as large as
ours), and country almost as vast,
can make a handsome profit every
year, surely we should. But instead
of a profit the service as it is con-
Quoted today costs the taxpayers
millions every year.
With all these startling facts in
favor of a Parcels Post and with
only few reasons established against
them, namely: the four express COM
panies, don't see how any senator
or congressman can refuse to change
the law which limits the weights to
but four pounds.
The express companies have re-
Gently seen the handwriting on the
wall for only week ago they ex-
pressed Willingness to lower rates
if the Interstate Commerce Com
mission after thorough investiga-
tion found them too high. This
sudden change of heart on the part
of those arrogant express companies
will not settle the question any more
than the PAIRING of corn, for while
the PAIRING does some good and
gives temporary relief, the corn still
remains and in few days the pain
is as great as before. The express
companies could easily lower rates
and still make large profit but
why should we allow private cor
porations to skim off all the cresm
of what rightfully belongs to the
postal service and leave our gov.
