YOUNGER CHILDREN THE

The first two children in a family,

We Send 100000 People to Jail
Every Year -

Julian Leavitt's interesting prison
article in the April American Maya
zine opens with the following striking
| facts:
If you will only stop to think OF
| it. | heard Professor John III. Wig
more, OF the Northeastern University
Law School, tell the American Pris-
on Association at Washington, In
1910, there are between three thou
sand and four thousand men in the
country today holding official posi-
tions whose sole business every day
of their lives is to send people to
Jail | mean the prosecuting attor-
ueys.
And there are two thousand to
three thousand men whose sole busi-
ness is to cooperate in sending men
to jail j mean the criminal. judges.
And these five thousand or six thou
sand men are every sending
men to jail without, for the most
part, any conception of the science
only do not know that science, but
most of them do not know there is a
science, and when you speak Of it to
them they do not care.
Now Professor Wigmore is not
sensatonalist He is one of the
foremost academic jurists of the
country. He is president of the
American Institute of Criminal Law
and Crfminology. which is the one
| learned body in this field that Amer
lea can boast. His statement, though
lstrikingly bold, was carefully consid-
cred. 1t was addressed to a serious
body of men and women; and it was
accepted, promptly and emphatically
as a correct statement of existing
conditions ! feel safe, therefore. in
building upon it.
Every year these judges and
prosecuting attorneys imprison, in
care-free fashion, enough men, wo-
men and boys to depopulate a city
as great as Boston or Pittsburgh.
They put these creatures away and
promptly forget them. The rest Of
us never think of them. And yet
IL must De pldlH TO any, thinking
mind that in society as closely knit
as ours is today you cannot put
away a half million human beings
every year and forget them. One
need be no sentimentalist to hold
that We are members one of an
other'-in sense as real and literal
as ever St Paul meant these words;
for. after all, these people do not
stay in prison forever All but a
handful of lifers'-some five thou

seen and nnsuspected If the prison
has broken them it is we who pay
the bill in the end"

NEW MATEwA., PAPER.

We have received the first issue Of
Matewan Citizens Herald. 1t is an
eight page four column paper and
is outspoken in its sentiments Mr.
orman T. Headley is its editor and
as soon as he can devote more time
to It, he informs us, ne will greatly
improve his paper. He is an untiring
worker and will hit from the shout
der he says. when he gets straight
ened out. In his salutatory he says
his efforts will be directed towards
the aiding of a return of normal
conditions as his brightest dream at
present. The farmer, rearing his
children on our rugged hillsides, and
beside our beautiful streams. and the
miner that is digging wealth out of
the bowels of the earth, needs coun-
ty government, and since county gov
eminent is nearer to him than state
OF national government, ihe needs a
county government that will protect
him in his rights, one that is friend
ly to his liberties He certainly does
not need county government that
will prosecute him for a demand of
simple honesty.
We feel sure from past expressions
OF great number of people in re-
gard to this weekly sheet, that its
purpose will be welcomed, and We
feel the object is such as would JUS
tify our appeal to you, not only for
financial support, but also for sup
port of the objects of its founding.

The extent to which the post-office
department has hunted down and out
rascals who have been{preying on in
nocent and ignorant investors by
means OF fraudulent get-rich-quick
schemes is worthy of the gratitude of
the public. The latest conviction in
New York is that of G. Graham Rice
and his associates of an attempt to
use the mails fraudulently because
they distributor circulars calling for
subscriptions to doubtful enterprises.
The reach of this form of rascality is
fairly amazing. 1t has been shown
in past two or three years through
trials conducted by the United States
government that in the eastern states
alone, through fraudulent entperrises
centering in the big city. nearly ST.
009, 900 has been obtained. When it
is remembered that these millions
have been taken from the slender
savings of those who could ill-afford
to ose a dollar, the evil conse-
quences are manifest.

Are There Two of Four Kinds OF
Women?

In the April American Magazine.
Edna Ferber, writing story enti-
tied Pink Tights and Bingham
makes the following comment:
"Someone-probably one of those
Frenchmen whose life job it was to
make epigrams once said that there
are but two kinds of women: good
women, and bad women Ever since
then problem playwrights have been
putting that fiction into the mouths
of wronged husbands and building
their big scene around it. But don't
you believe it, There are four kinds
good women bad women, good bad
women, and bad good women And
the worst of these is the last. .

us is the Republicans won't publish
