MANS DUTY TO MAN

Recently a prison official said in
speaking of the parole system of the
government that the first day of the
released prisoner was his hardest.
Having lost all touch with the outside
world, since his confinement of prob
ably several years, he re-enters the
world unknown and in most cases ut
terly friendless. He knows not where
TO go, and he can find no employment,
hence it is the natural thing for him
TO forget his good resolutions and
revert TO his evil ways.
This official, who is thoroughly IA
miliar with the subject, says the
world is too harsh in its judgment.
1t is not fair TO credit the man with
a continuation of his evil practices,
for in the majority of cases The re-
leased prisoner leaves prison with
the best of intentions to lead'a batter
life. Society is 10 blame for the
downfall of such man, he says.
Society is a broad word. and in
reading these words Of this kind
hearted prison official, we agree that
it is society at fault. But why not
take it home and say: 81 am to blame
for the downfall Of the man, for GER
tainly l form a part OF that society
which is falling TO do its duty We
too often lay the charge at the door
of the churches and say they are
amiss. Perhaps so. but who compose
the churches? These and many other
ugly blots will remain on society as
long as We continue TO expect the
other fellow TO do our work
Some may say it is somewhat out
of the ordinary TO be thrown with
one of these freshly released prison
ers. True, but the identical spirit is
called for loudly by many who have
never been behind bars The world
is full of people who are tempted be-
yond that which they can bear, and
silently they plead for a helping hand.
Silently-yes, for few will ever come
out and ask assistance when they are
tempted to an evil course. But the
trained heart and eye of an honest,
earnest soul will detect the wayering
brother or sister and timely counsel
with human sympathy will save when
temptations arise which cannot be
overcome single-handed. This is pure
religion, and the kind which brings
to US a sweeter pleasure than any
form of worship.

THE TESTING OF THE SOUTH

high ideals of Craftsmanship. Our
representatives in congress have de,

the country of the exiled dynasty of
high ideals while others have en-
gagged in mad scramble for appro-
priations and sectional advantages
And at last the nation, wearying OF
the plunderers and turning hopefully
to our section for purer and higher
leadership, has given us the chance
of our generation. The question now
is, How shall we ust it?-and it is a
question big with meaning not only
for our section but for the whole ma
ton and it's future.
Let the south now in it's hour OF

no spirit of CRED, tempted by no de
sire to get it's share of plumber, re
creant to no high principle it's old
traditions have emphasized, and il
will go from strength to strength and
its record will shine as the sun.
But on the other hand, let the
south now fall before the temptations
of power and the promptings OF
greed, let it now ask for its share
of the protective tariff graft instead
of trying only to end the evil, let ii
now ask for It's snare OF the nation

SOUTHERN RAILROADS AND I'M
MIGRATION

Southern railroads are being cru
cised because they make so little Ell
fort to encourage immigration. The
criticism is, in measure, Just \
m,st he said in their behalf, however
that within the last year or two the
railroads of this part of the soutn
have been showing some appreciation
Of the fact that they are more inter-
ested in having the untitled lands cui-
tivated than the people who reside
here are. They are not only adver-
Using the advantages TO be FOUND
mere. but they are encouraging ad-
yanced methods of tillage.
They are not nearly as active, how
ever, in promoting immigration as
they should be. They are sadly lack
ing in the spirit shown by the rail-
roads of the west in the building up
of that section They seem to think
that money spent in advertising the
territory tributary TO them is IN a
measure thrown away, when as
matter of fact, it would be an invest
ment that would pay them big re-
turns.
It is true of course that until re-
cent years the west had great ad-
vantage in it's immense areas OF gov
eminent land that could be had at
a nearly nominal price per acre. In
the south the unoccupied lands are
all owned by individuals, who haven't
shown much enterprise in making a
market for them. If the land owners
had combined and invited co-opera-
ton from the railroads it is probable
that the railroads would have re-
sponded to some extent, and that the
movement of immigration in this di-
rection would now be much larger
than it is.
-
1t is because there is a lack Of
knowledge respecting the south and
the possibilities she offers for making
a living that she gets so few immi-
grants. When the truth about ner
is known there will be no lack of i'm
migrants, and the railroads are in
a position to contribute greatly to the
distribution of Observation-Disclosures
