prison should not be place of pun

of healing. A prison should be such
a place as would instill in the Grim

There should be only ipdeterminate
sentences. We should cast aside the
old idea of vengeance, of an eye for
an eye. Punishment for the sake of
punishment has always failed. Until
the idea of prison as place of healing,
of rehabilitation, is established the

never halt, will never grow less.

DIARY OF FATHER TIME

Of course there are a lot of us
who don't wear diamonds, mostly be-
cause we can't buy them; but then
some of us don't like them anyhow.
But there are few who do wear them
that know the origin of the diamond
or how it came to be where it is
found. Even the wisest geologist
cannot make a reasonable guess on
those questions.
It's nearly two hundred years ago
the Orange River in South Africa was
discovered, but it was not until 1869
that the great rush to the diamond
country began. Then, as now, in
stampedes to each reported Alaskan
gold strike, butchers, bakers, sailors,
tailors, lawyers, blacksmiths, doctors,
farmers, gamblers and loafers
swarmed to the scene of the discov~
cry. Since the Kimberly diamond field
was discovered the production of
diamonds has increased, but the cost
has not decreased because the hui
man vanity of adornment may always
be trusted to grow by what it feeds

The differences between the Republi

brushed away. Both sides can see that

Every day that the Tariff and currency

ANTON or Democracy. The logic Of
events is plain. 1t is impossible to
escape the conclusion that those who
win not accept any reasonable or pos

and the Progressives together are
virtually consenting to the indefinite
domination of the national government
by the Democratic organization and

Temptation.

No matter how we may safeguard
ourselves, there is no one Of us who is
free from those sudden rushes of temp
tation which at times seem almost un-
comfortable, as we'll as inexplicable.
Perhaps they are revolts of nature,
scorning restraint and violently self
asserting. Nearly always they are re-
lated to the egotism that, in its subor-
dination to social law, often feels itself
limited and irritated. They ought to
make US more patient with one an
other. Each day they give us lessons
in humility. 1t is perhaps due to our
egotism that so many of these lessons
are lost. We cannot reflect too often
on the speech that moved Wesley to
say, as prisoner passed him bearing
the insignia Of his disgrace: There,
but for the grace of God, goes John
Wesley"
