NEW NOTE SOUNDED

FOURTH of July orations, this
year, called forth the usual am orlt
of eulogies, the grand old chaflc-
ters wer given but proper tributes.
There is, however, in this year ol
Our Lord, new note being sound
ed. Whether the words fall trip.
pingly from the tongue, as ne
Cessary mention of an existing
generation, or whether it is meant
in all sincerity of discerning minds
three has been, almost without
omission, recognition of greatness
among men today.
The sound of war is not over
the land, but there is constant
strife against sordidness and petty
meanness fboth high and low
degree:
Strides are being made SO quick
ly that we do not justly value
them.
The public mind has revolted
against officials taking advantage
OF their commercial prestige-and
men who have been thinking and
acting quietly are marching ahead
amid the cheers of a people who
have many times survived their
Valley Forge, yet not lost hope.
There is spirit of the times"
abroad, such as the world has
never seen and to fail to recog-
nize this innovation, is to admit
inability to read the records of the
thoughts and deeds of the Age.

JUSTICE AND COMMON SENSE

1T IS public opinion, we be-
lieve, that is largely responsible
for change that is coming over
the spirit with which, in many
cases, Our criminal law is being in
terpreted. More and more we are
coming to recognize that the pri-
mary function of criminal law is
not the punishment Of the crimi-
nal, but his reform and at the same
time the administration of simple
justice, OF such sort are recent
decisions that have sentenced wife
beaters to work, under duress, for
the families they have abused, and
various decisions which have
sought to secure for the victims
OF robberies as much of the stolen
property as possible.
A striking instance of this new
reading of criminal law comes
from Los Angeles; in that city
young man arrested FOR having
embezzled $1,000 from the theater
by which he was employed, con-
fessed his guilt, and expressed
contrition. Judge Mccormick
pronounced this sentence on him:
You shall sta yat home at
nights. You shall remain
within the limits of this
county. You shall not play
billiards or pool, frequent
cafes or drink Intoxicating
liquors, and you shall go i'm
mediately to work and keep
at it until you have paid every
dollar you have stolen. Vio-
late these terms and you go
to prison.
Who can doubt that this is a
sensible sentence, more humane
and more just, even, than if the
culprit had been sentenced to the
penitentiary where his labor would
have profited no one, whence he
would ha 7e emerged at the end of
his sentence, by that much TN
fitted for the duties of citizenship.
The criminal in this case was only
~ years old: by this sentence he
is given chance to repair the
one great error he has made, and
by diligence and hard work he
may hope in time to recover the
position in character and reputa-
ton which he has forfeited.
During the last session of our
Legislature this power of deniency
was given to Our courts. Perhaps
no more progressive law, in ac-
cord with this new spirit, has been
passed in Delaware in recent
years.
Given this power of discretion,
our Courts can do much toward
making citizens from those of
criminal tendencies brought about
in many cases by unfortunate en-
vironments. Punitive justice dealt
out in prison life is not always
Social Justice. And o,lr new law
has in view the betterment os the
man and society rather than SIM
pie retribution.

A CERTAIN TOWN

| BELOW is given a description
of town about the size of New
ark. Here is study in coopera-
ton. Read it. 1t might be a
| good thing for Newark to send a
committee to investigate, to see
how they do it.
Yet there is SO much we can do
right here and now-if-
Let's get together. Wouldn't
life be worth living then?
FAR FROM THE CROWD
A certain country town has $500
population, is not the county seat,
is more than forty miles from the
nearest city, and depends almost
entirely upon the neighboring
farms for its prosperity. In ap-
pearance this town differs little
from a thousand others of it's
class, except that the three gar
ages are a surprise, and the lawns
and houses might be remembered
as neater and more trim than
ordinary. Ask a question and it
leads you far. You notice, per-
haps, that the press o.: the coun-
try newspaper is run by an electric
motor. The power and light plant
is the property of the town and
pays revenue of $500 a month
into the public treasury. The
heating plant for downtown stores
also is owned by the people. 1t
utilizes the waste steam from the
power plant and cuts the mer-
chants fuel bills in half. A coun-
try physicians son, who in this
little town now is completing
$4,000 hospital for general prac-
tise, has credit for the suggestion
that the steam be connected with
the water system, so that if the
Water-plpes ever become injected
they may be sterilized with live
steam. To this municipal light,
water and heating plant is attach
ed private ice factory which sells
pure ice made from sterilized water
at torty-tlve cents hundred lbs.
A wholesale ice cream factory
buying real country cream to sell
again for eighty cents gallon
uses the cold salt water from the
ice plant. Helpful cooperation is
found in other fields. Uncle John
Mowder, a farmer now comfort
ably rich and with spare time to
improve his form in horseshoe
quoits, uses his little fortune as a
private remedial loan fund for
townspeople who long to own a
home, and the woman who makes
quilts for the countryside, the boy
who runs the peanut stand, a clerk
in general store, and timers
helper are respected property ow-
ners. The town boasts that every
laborer who has lived in the place
five years owns home, and that
Uncle John never has lost a dol
lar on many risky securities. Wo-
mems club meetings have time for
Keats and Browning, and the SER
want problem never needs to be
discussed. In the neighborhood
there are number of the Amish
sect, whose daughters, as a mat
ter OF religious principle, will do
the housework and mind the baby
tor ten cents an hour or So a week
or less-11ever more, AMI though
their parents may own a $4,000
farm, these servants treat you as
an equal. (Our own joke, uncopy-
righted.) At one end OF town is
public playground, which in win
ter is flooded for a skating rink.
For a city man who remembers
the country town as it used to be,
a visit to such a community as
this is stimulating education. The
place, by the way, is Sabetha, Kan
sas.-Colliers.

Relation and Recreation Among Aims of Y Nj. C. A.

A generation ago the Young Mems
Christian Association was commonly
regarded as a society whose chief pur-
pose was preaching and praying and
its other activities were looked on as
bait to draw the shy ones in reach of

full organization that works for the
good of the whole man and for the
good of society in SO many ways that
one might be puzzled to describe 1t in
a sentence Is it a social club, a gym
nasiun, a school, hotel, a church, a
business, or a social center?
You may call 1t any one Of these and
give good reasons, but one thing is
clear-it Is no experiment. Clubs and
organizations of young men having
for their objects one or more Of the
above purposes have fiourished and
passed but the Young Mems Chris
tfan Association, attempting to bring
together all classes and all beliefs into
q fellowship Of service one to the
other, has grown into a world wide
brotherhood with more than half a
million members with locals in every
land.
Self Governing.
The American spirit Of democracy
has full swig in t he association.
Every branch IS Independent and self
governing and by the same token must
support itself The directors are elect
ed by direct vote OF the members.
There are no cut and dried rules. or
precedents, that must be followed.
The only general order is help the

ton taking the form required by the

hundred thousand dollar hotel to be
used only by young men newly arrived
in that city until work and permanent
quarters can be secured. Ports of en-
try have immigrant secretaries to pro-
tect and befriend the foreigners coming
to our land and many associations
have civics and English classes for
foreigners. Others promote play
grounds and direct the amateur ath-
letics of the city.
No Fads or Fooiishness.
The astonishing thing is that in all
this variety there are no fads or frills.
The association deals with flesh and

tical as a load of brick. What I like

interested. Some young men have
mentioned the desirability Of a Spanish
class, others of an English literature
class. 1t is well to remember that the
one who knows his business has not
reached the limit Of mental develop
ment and that to keep the mind fresh
with resource which shall enable one
to see the world in its proper setting,
because of a knowledge of history and
literature, is a most valuable thing.
A literary and debating club will
be one OF the features Of this season.
Quite a number have signi1ed their
desire to get in. Here practice in
parliamentary law, public speaking
and debating will be had and with this
practice, considerable knowledge of
public questions will be had. Since
there is no organization Of this kind
in the city, it is expected that this
may be the nucleus Of a civic organ
ization which shall fill a real need.
The regular classes and schedules
are given below:
Boys preparatory classes. Monday.
Thursday. Instructors, A. S. Edwards,
r. A. Mcdowell, W. P. Cunningham.
Shop arithmetic class, Tuesday, Fri
day. Instructor, L. T. Martin.
Bookkeeping, accounting, Monday,

Shorthand and typewriting, Tues
day, Friday. Instructor, w. L Taylor.
Mechanical and architectural draw
ing, Tuesday, Friday. Instructor, A.

ham
A Home.
Not the least valuable service of the
association is the fact that it pro-
vides dormitories where young men
away from home may secure, at rea-
sonable rates, as good accommodations
as can be had IN the city, under sur
roundings that as nearly as may be
approximate a home.
Employment Bureau.
Among the many minor activities of
the association life is the information
bureau. which is open to strangers as
we'll as members. The free public
reading room, the reference library and
the employment bureau, through which
employers and employees alike are
served at no cost to either. Last sea-
son some forty positions were filed.
ranging from $3.50 per week to $1,000

Twas dangerous cliff, as they freely
confessed,
Though to walk near it's crest was
so pleasant;
But over its terrible edge there had
slipped
A duke, and fun many a peasant:
So the people said something would
But their projects did not at all
tally.
Some said, Put a fence around the
edge OF the Cliff"
Some, An ambulance down In the
Saley."
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1911-10-01

But the cry for the ambulance carried
the day,
For it spread through the neighbor-
ing city,
A fence may be useful or not. it is
true,
But each heart became brimfuu Of
pity
For those who slipped over that dan
gerous cliff;
And the jewellers in highway and
alley
Gave pounds or gave pence, not to put
up a fence,
But am ambulance down in the

That people give far more attention
To repairing the results than to stop

When they'd much better aim al

Come, neighbors and friends, let Us
rally:

almost dispense

Better close up the source Of tempta-
tion and crime
Than to deliver from dungeon or

Better put a strong fence round the

Than an ambulance down In the

strengthen and to in no way duplicate
or detract from the churches, and its
chief service in this line has been in
training men that they might take up
active service in the Sunday schools
and churches rather than attempting
lodge meetings and Bible classes
within the association.
Each year a central training class Is
conducted for those who desire to pre-
pare themselves for teaching the
Bible to classes OF men or boys.
The association might well be
claimed by the church as its institu-
tional branch.
Relaxation and Recreation.
Give the association kaleidoscope
another turn and we have a school OF
health and physical culture.
Exercise is necessity; nature de-
up and maintain good health without
it. We know there are a few people
who believe that the taking part in
any form of exercise is a fad and has
very little, if any, bearing on health
and long life. When we realize that
through the extensive Introduction of
machinery and labor saving devices of
all kinds, the amount of manual labor
has decreased over 70 per cent IN the
United States during the last thirty
wears, we readily see that other forms
Of muscular exercise must be supplied
or men will degenerate physically and
lose their power and vitality.
The object of the physical depart
ment of the association IL to help
young men to lead clean, hygienic,
healthful lives. Tt aims to give men
and boys better body to live in, that

they may do their best In their life's
work, whatever that work may be.
The gymnasium is the select place
for all men who need systematic ex-
ercise and spirited recreation to offset
the demands of modern life. 1t is a
shop where the human mechanism can
be kept in order. The classes are
graded to meet the needs of the va
rious groups and special classes in box
ing, wrestling, etc, are conducted.
Individual instruction is given outside
the regular class hours. Practical
talks along the lines of hygienic prin-
ciples which include food, exercise
baths, air, sleep, etc, are given from
time to time in the gymnasium.
Plans for wholesome competition are
son. A fall track and field meet will
be held in connection with the Inter
state Fair in November, group games
will be organized within classes for all
members, class, inter- class and special
league series in all lines Of competi-
ton such as basketball, volley ball, in
dor and outdoor athletic meets, etc
Men find time for exercise IL they
have the inclination. Some men are
compelled to seek health by an ex-
pensive vacation. 1t is better to pre-
serve 1t now. 1t will mean health and
happiness in later years.

cal efficiency. 1t has been said, ply

number are enjoying their regular
