KANSAS CONTENT

THE NEWSPAPERS AND CRIME
DR.. Frances Fenton gets a doctor of
philosophy degree from Chicago Uni
versity by paper cor demning the
newspapers for printing crime news.
She finds that the more yellow news
papers print AZ per cent of anti
soeial' news, and the cIeanest papers
print is per cent
Anyone. who tells the truth about
modern life must tell many things that
are harmful to the interests of society.
The effect of the publication of
crime news depends very much upon
the point of view of the man who writes
it. Some men secretly sympathize
with crime, and show an undertone of
admiration for the criminals smart
ness.
Other men see farther into the con-
sequences of crime, and think of the
suffering that is caused TO the victims.
Instead of expatiating on the clever
ness of the chief. they picture the
meanness of the man who 0reys vul-
ture like on the reward of other mems
industry, often causing suffering to the
innocent.
Criminals would like it very well to
have a gag placed about the mouth of
the press. Every copy circulated is a
sleuthhound on the trail of the flee
ing miscreant.-Beloit Call.

On last Wednesday, April 18th, Hon.
|. N. Moon died at his residence here
He had been in feeble health for some
time past, but had not been seriously
i'll until Tuesday, and he quietly pass
ed away Wednesday afternoon. Mr..
Moon was one of our oldest and most
highly esteemed citizens and neigh
bors. He was 70 years of age the day
before he passed away. He repre-
sented the county in the Legislature
several years ago, and our county has
always felt proud of his services while
there. He was also a Primitive Bap-
fist minister for many years and was
much beloved by his church and all
denominations loved and respected
him. He lived a quiet, consistent
Christian life. And was ever ready
to admonish the young people to live
upright lives. He was one of the best
neighbors and friends the writer ever
had. We always felt that in him we
had a safe counselor, for he always
looked deeply into all matters that
were of interest to his county and
neighbors. We can't think of any
friend we will miss more sadly than
We will Uncle Ike" but we feel that
his house was set in order and he was
ready for the summons. He leaves a
wife, three children, Mr.. l. c. Moon,
of Powder Springs Mrs. w. T. Wal
den, of MacLand, and Mr. Bart Moon,
of Dallas, besides a number of grand
children, who will miss the pleasant
face and wise counsel of father and
grandfather His funeral was held at
Corner chapel Thursday, conducted
by Rev Mr.. Allmand, and his body
laid to rest in the family burial
ground. Our sympathies are extended
to the aged companion and other
loved ones.
We sympathize with our clever
mail carrier, Mr.. J. E. Mckinney, in
the loss of his barn and feedstuff,
which was destroyed by fire last
week.
Our farmers are pleased to see the
sun shine again. Planting will be
very late, The lands are washed con-
siderably, and much work will have
to be done terracing before the ground
will do to plant.

painful accident by stepping on a

1t is needless to say that the Easter
egg hunt for the children was a sue
cess. Children and folks, yes, the
woods were full of them. And, oh,
such fun when they found the prize,
which was a buff-rock chicken.
Sunday School was held in the new
church here Sunday morning with
seventy-one present, and as it was
Easter Sunday several of our folks
went visiting.
The prayer service was conducted
by Miss Cora Kilgo. The scripture
lesson was John, 10th chapter. Her
comment on the same was very i'm
pressive. She was very ably assisted
by Mr. Egbert Phagan in his usual
tender appeals for a higher living and
a better life.
A short while ago a committee of
ladies and girls was asked to raise
funds to buy an organ for the new
church here, and in very short time
they had sixty dollars in cash, or
nearly enough to pay for it. The
Marietta people gave nearly twenty
five dollars of this amount, for which
they have our sincere thanks. An
order for a new organ has been placed
with Mr.. Charlie Freyer, one of the
most noted and best organ and piano
dealers in the South He also loaned
the church an organ to use until the
one purchased could be shipped from
