WHAT ONE MAN DID

From the Philadelphia North American.
The ext for this sermon is the life of
Frank II. Starr. superintendent OF the
Home Of Industry for Discharged Prison
srs, who died last Monday, early in the
morning.
That life was lived in two chapters.
The first chapter, of more than 40 years,
was ohe OF wrong living and crime. 1t led
TO q cell in Sing Sing. where it was
brought to a close by q few kind words
from q noble woman, Frances Willard.
Frank Starr never sought to hide or
excuse a single word Of that chapter.
When he said II understand how you feel
to a discharged prisoner brought under
his care, he spoke literally.
h was on the road that Is wide when
the light of tho everlasting love of Jesus
Christ cleft the arkness OF his ways and
showed him the path to right living.
Then, with the wreck OF his Life all
around him." he began the second chap
ter of his book of living. Born anew, and
In that higher birth finding q courage be-
side which deeds OF daring on the field of
battle pale into Nero onplaceS, hi
started to live for the benefit Of those who,
having paid their debt to society, are still
treated by society as faithleSs debtors.
Started to fight the "ironclad injustice
which refuses a fallen man another
chance.
Twenty-three years ago be led in the
founding of q home where discharged
prisoners would DO helped back to useful
ness and tho respect OF their fellows. 1t
was not an easy work, az one may well
imagine. It was not an easy task for one
who had himself paid the price. 1t would
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1912-07-25

have been far easier to slip back into the
old ways or to seek honest work under
a new name in some distant state Oh
country,
Frank Starr was not looking for an easy
job. His whole heart was atiame with a
desire to help those who had suffered as
he had suffered; to lead men out Of the
darkness of w~rongdoing into the light Of
right living.
He made no noise as he went along.
He shouted no message from high places,
nor eve boosted Of what he was doing.
Quietly, 80 quietly that to tens Of thou
sands in his home city the news of his
death was the first news they ever had
of him, he worked with the human
wrecks cast up on the friendly shores Of
the little harbor of hope, supervised by
him, and finance by a few men who felt
it a privilege tic invest some share Of their
earnings in bettered lives.
In the years of his service $500 such
wrecks came into that harbor, and of this
number more than 80 per cent were refit-
ted for the journey and today are living
honest lives Of useful service.
Nothing that can be said will add to
the hneness of his life. The costliest and
largest of monuments would seem small
beside a record Of SO many lives turned
back into channels of good citizenship
and righteous living.
But 1t is well for many a man and
woman to ponder the life Of Frank Starr.
It is well for those who feel that their
ives have been failures to gain from this
life encouragement and fortitude.
Such a life is a blessing to any COM
munity and a guiding light for all who
: Will ever come to know it.

THE LIBERTY BELL

walton OF the emblem of the nations lib
erty. There is no reason, because IN the
past 1t has yielded to Importantly and per-
mitted the bell to be taken around tho
country to expeditions. big and little, that
the precedents thus unwisely set should
be perpetuated. The place for the bell Is
within the shrine of the nations inde-
p~endence. There 1t is safe, s~urrounded
by the associations and traditions that
hallow 1t. Apart from those associa-
tons, In other settings, 1t loses much
of its significance, is deprived of much
Of its teachings and inspiring power.
No possible precautions can insure the
safety Of the bell on long journeyings
to and fro throughout the country. Its
destruction would be an irreparable loss,
and the only way to avert such a posst-
biity is to take a firm stand now and
turn a deaf ear to every appeal for the
further exploitation of the relic apart
from its setting in Independence hall.
In taking this stand Philadelphia will not
be selfish, but will be taking a ~strioter
view of the trusteeship than 1t has prac-
ticed in the past. 1t owes it to the ma
ton, to itself and to the visitors to tho
city that the .peregrinations of the Lib
erty Bell shall end. and now is the time
to make the final decision. San Fran
cisco will be disappointed, perhaps, but
that cannot be helped. We but cheaper
the Liberty Bell to lend it to every would
be borrower. Its place is at home, at
the birthplace Of the nation, and there
it should stay.

From the Philadslphia lodge.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
It Is evident that the promoters Of the
Panama exposition at San Francisco do
not share tho skeptieism of the modern
higher critics concerning the title Of
the liberty boil to the sanctity with which
history and tradition nave surrounded It.
And they know that the great mass Of
the people of the country do not. They
realize that to them the ancient relic, with
Its singularly prophetic inscription, is
next to the actual instrument Of the
Declaration Of Independence, the most in
spring physical link which onnects the
present generation with the fathers OF the
nation, with the men OF &c. And, What Is
more important to their present purposes,
they are quite aware that the presence
Of the bell at the coming exposition would
be, perhaps, the greatest single attraction
they could install. The. occasion Of the
visit OF the Pennsylvania commission to
select the site for tho Pennsylvania ex-
hibits was utilized on Saturday by the ex-
position authorities to make their appeal
for the loan Of the liberty bell. Governor
Tener properly replied that the city Of
Philadelphia, not the state, Is the GUS
todian of the bell. and that application
would have to be made to the mayor and
councils.
When that application shall be received,
as 1t doubtless will in the course Of a
few weeks. it should be met with a
courteous ~declination. Philadelphia is the
trustee Of the nation for the safe preser-

The MiddIe-Aaed Woman

OF the many ways in which the mid
dle-aged woman may vary the effect
of her afternoon gowns none is sim
pier than the use Of a collar and cuffs
of white wolfe edged with %scalloping
and embroidery in a floral design. An
other change may be the frock set of
white chiffon with border of black
malines, and still another is the one of
black net hemstitched with silver
thread. Some of these collars are SO
long in front that they terminate only
at the waist line, where they cross In
Burplice effect and are tucked away
Under the girdle. An excellent model
of this sort is OF light blue lawn en-
broidered with black dots, and a sec
Dnd is Of white agaric trimmed with
tiny folds Of broadcloth, alternating

 But another day Is coming It is enough to provoke disputation on optim- ism. Think of this afternoon.
 Bill Foxen will be rushed again to the hill. He will be opposed by Bill Chap belle. The game will be good one if 1t does not rain.
 And the Barons will whit is probable, or rather. let us all hope.
 They will win because following an off day mere man exerts himself: And the world, without exertion, was never turned over.

 Why he received the "can" is an old story. The Turtles were en route to New Orleans. At midnight the train was leap ing along through a Mississippi bayou.

It was time for the off day.
 Last week the Barons trotted along without encountering defeat. Atlanta was beaten conclusively on three successive afternoons, and twice before the bats Of the bold tribesmen the Lookouts fell.
 So the off day was due.
 It came-in punches.
 There were not enough pitchers on the staff of the Barons to check the walloping of the visitors Had Smith been succeeded by Boyd and Boyd by Hardgrove, the turning of the lane would never have come.
 Christy Mathewson would have found his ''fadeaway'' helpless. Marquard, who has won il straight victories, would have bowed his head in defeat. Bender would have given up the ghost with shriek.
 Every Lookout was John Franklin Baker, and every Baron boxman a Lefty Wilhelm.
 So the visitors won. It was an easy victory. After two such gruelling con- tests as those of Friday and Saturday, tho Lookouts were more surprised than the Barons, or even more surprised than the spectators.
 The pitchers they couldn't hit before they found with marvellous ease. Every time, they wieided their sticks they en- corntered the nose of the pellet. Every drive that went from the diamond dodged a fielder.
 It was marvellous. There have been other similar exhibitions, but they have come seldom and far between. The Look outs yesterday were as the man who cannot lose, in whose fingers every ven- turc meets success, in whose hands pair Of bones roll ever from the deadly seven.
 And flor the Barons the opposite was true. They swung yesterday just as Sat urday, but not with the same result. Their drives twisted and squirmed along the
