The Scripture ana
~ Killing Meat

To the Editor of The Dawson News:
Search the scriptures; not a bone
of him shall be broken" The aver
age person looks upon reading the
Bible as the business of the preach
er, by which he must earn his liz
ing, and for something out of which
the Sunday school lesson is gotten,
which must be taught to keep the
/ children out of their parents way
and out of mischief on Sunday.
: It's hygienic laws have never been
surpassed, and We are just beginning
to reach in cleanliness where the
laws of Moses, as given in Leviticus,
left off Rebecca knew more about
cooking and how to disguise tlavors
and bring hidden goodness in the
now despised goat than the best chef
in our civilization of today, for she
fooled an old woodsman, making
him believe goat was venison. We
bruise and mutilate our stock by
manning, when Moses allowed only
perfect beasts offered in sacrifice,
and the priests, the highest officers
in the state, in their day, lived off
their portion of the sacrifices. Not
a bone of them was broken, either
in the Staying or in the cooking, but
the killing was accomplished in such
1nf ~,
meat. l remember as a boy seeing
my father, who learned from his
friend, having cows and bulls pre-
pared for beef-goats and sheep
were killed the same way. He had
a high frame work, and the animal
was led under it, thrown to the
ground, and its hind legs fastened,
and then drawn up with a windlass.
The head was cut off, knife stuck
through the heart, and when it was
thoroughly bled life was extinct. 1t
was then ready for dressing, and
such meat could be and was kept in
the summer without salt until it was
cooked. At a hospital kept by a
German Jew I stayed three weeks.
The beef served was killed by the
Jewish method of thorough blood
letting, and whereas at home beef
killed by the average butcher more
than three times eating of it de-
ranges my digestive organs, there
for the whole time it was served at
every meal without any bad effect. |

THE OFFICER AND HIS GUN.

From the Andalusia, Ala, Star.
Bailiff L. Willis, who, on Friday,
in Columbus, Ga, shot and killed a
boy who was fleeing from a boarding
house in that town because he lack
ed so cents of enough to- pay his
board bill said when the full mean
ing of the tragedy dawned upon him
that he wouldn't have done this for
a million dollars" OF course he
wouldn't if he had taken time to
think, if he hadn't become SO accus
toned to the idea of using his pistol
on the slightest provocation, if his
environment hadn't been such as to
cause him to look lightly upon the
taking of human life.
The killing of this boy at Column
bus for a trifing offense ought to be
"a warning to officers everywhere
against being too handy with the pis-
toll. 1t ought to be an incentive to
the people generally to encourage a
public sentiment against too ready
use Of deadly weapons-against the
too common custom of carrying a
deadly weapon. Many and many a
life is taken without reason, and be-
cause of which sorrow is brought
into many homes The too ready
pistol is a sorrow maker
Bailiff- Willis has a load of grief
to carry, such as many who are not
| officers of the law carry, simply be-
cause of the sentiment that tolerates
the pistol carrying habit. If it we're
not for that sentiment Bailiff Willis
would not have used his pistol to
check a frail boy fleeing from a bal
ance of 50 cents on a board bill.

THE UNEMPLOYED

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Thousands of extra hands are
needed at this season to gather the
crops of the United States. The I'm
dianapoIis News says that in the
western and northwestern states
alone the farmers are now in neeG of
90, 900 extra laborers during the har-
vesting period Inducements are be-
ing offered by labor agencies, agri-
cultural societies and railroads to
unemployed laborers who are willing
to harvest the crops. With all the
inducements offered the laborers are
not to be found.
Every year there is a cry for wheat
and corn harvesters in the west, and
for cotton pickers in the south, and
still there are thousands of positions
untitled and thousands OF men unem-
ployed.
When a man is in need of work
and can get work, bat declines tc
take it, he becomes a nuisance I'M
worthy of pity and a pauper unwor,
thy of help.
Ruskin. in his essay on ''Work,
speaks of compulsory comfort.
From present indications it seems
that we are rapidly approaching the
time when it will be necessary no
only to find employment for thu
needy who are idle, but also to com
pei them to do the work. No man
rich or poor, has the right to be
consumer unless he is also a pro
Queer. In New England, in the ear
ly days, only those who worked wer'
allowed to eat. If we can get bacl
to that, idleness and hunger will b.
unknown. crops will not rot in tn
field human derelicts will not crow,
the side streets of the cities, and lif
for all will be worth while.

President Huerta,

Contrary to the general belief
prevalent in this country Victoria
Huerta, president of Mexico, who re-
Gently rejected the offer of mediation
made by the United States, is not
the ignorant man he has been paint
ed. A recent writer, telling of the
personality and career of the man
who has automatically dared the
United States, says General Huerta
comes from a long line of ancestors
we'll and widely known in their own
land, and continues:
Born in 1857 he is now, at
the age Of Sc, in the full zenith
of his career, with natural abil-
ity, strengthened by experience
of men and affairs, able as at no
previous time to cope with deli
cate and dangerous crises.
"Huerta inherited not only a
strong, supple body, but intel
lectual capacity expressed by an
active brain, quick in percep-
ton, decisive in action.
"Huerta is a graduate of the
military school of Chapultepec,
the West Point of Mexico, where
he spent four years. Immedi-
ately after graduation he joined
his regiment and the years pass
ed in usual military routine IN
til 1892, when he was placed in
command of a military station,
with the rank of lieutenant col
onel
There Huerta settled down
with his force to keep the peace;
to preserve law and order; to
bring to the inhabitants some
opportunity, however little TAX
en- advantage of; to encourage
the growth of real civilization.
In all this difficult work-for
it was difficult-Huerta kept his
head level, his temper unruffied,
his discipline uninterrupted"

A NAGGING WIFE.

From the Macon Telegraph.
An Indiana man with a nagging
Wife had an idea.
The nagging was unbearable and
he made her a proposition.
He was to give her an acre of land
for each day that she did not nag at
him
He was the possessor of seventy
five acres of land. For seventy-five
days he had that peace which cometh
from a perfect understanding be-
tween husband and wife.
But on the seventy-sixth day
with no more land to hang on to her
tongue, the wife began her nagging
with unusual vigor.
Being out of land and patience he
resorted to the courts. He thinks he
has just ground for termination of
their marital relations and gives as
justification of this act that a seven
ty-acre farm loaded onto his wifes
tongue was not enough to hold it
down.
Divorce is a terrible thing, but in
a case like this, where the husband
had exhausted his all to procure
peace, certainly the court should find
some means of relieving his distress.
Let the farm take the place Of the
husband. He could acquire another
farm, but we bet it will be many a
day before he will be looking for an
other. wife.

A Debtor Nation.

Notwithstanding the immense ex-
port trade of the United States, and
an idea of this may be formed from
the statement that in the year end
ing with June last we sold to foreign
ers 1858, 100000 worth of commodi
ties over and above what we bought
from them, this country remains
debtor nation. The United States
still owes Europe, notably France,
England and Holland, some billions
of dollars. How did we incur this
debt? We sold them securities on
our corporations, also state, city and
federal bonds. Why did we sell them
these securities? Because we didn't
have money here at home to pur-
chase all the stocks and bonds which
states, cities, nations and corpora
lions wished to sell.
Europe began investing money in
America with the founding of James
town. They have kept at it for three
centuries or more. Europe could
make its money earn more by send
ing it to the United States-that is,
nv buying our securities-than by
keeping the money at home.
On the contrary, America has al
WAYS been able to invest its own
money to better advantage here at
home than anywhere else, and so we
sent a very little of it abroad. We
own a few japanese bonds, a little
Canadian railroad stock and some
Mexican securities, but the tota
amount we have invested outside
the United States is trifiing compar
ed to what Europe has invested IL
this republic.
America is a debtor nation. /
owes much more than is owed to it
We are in the position of a beginne
in business who has been obliged t
borrow cash from somebody who ha
already accumulated it. The bus
ness man would give his notes-ou
country gives its stocks and bond
Now we are obliged every year
pay interest on these bonds and d
pay dividends on nearly all II
stocks owned by Europe in America
corporations. We are paying int
est on the debts we owe to outsi,
peoples.
Add to that the hundred millio
or so which tourists carry out of Il
country annually, add also the scor
of millions which foreign lahore
here keep sending back to their {
home and it takes all of that $65
100000 of a foreign trade balar
to cancel our obligations.

Only a Flower,

We are told that once there was a
man with a face so repulsive as al
most to arouse fear when first you
met him. His every feature was
distorted. his teeth were like fangs,
his eyes crooked, his nose out of
joint, his mouth wide and repellant,
his ears large, his whole aspect was
such as to drive you away from him.
Yet about this man, so repulsive
at first sight, there was that which
attracted little children to him; he
was loved and respected by his neigh
bors. When he died there was
mourning wider than follows the
death of the average man. What
was it which made a man so natural
ly repulsiye beloved? 1t was his love
for flowers. No human being who
loves flowers is wholly bad. Because
of his love for flowers little children,
who next to dogs are the best read
ers of character, f1ocked to him and
found he had a warm heart and a
kindly nature. Because of his love
,or flowers his neighbors read in
lim a humanity which his face be-
led. Because of his love for flowers
lis whole nature was mellowed and !
;oftened. On second sight you could |
discover beneath repulsive feat
Tres, not wholly hidden, a nature
warm and sympathetic. The mans
owe for flowers was a truer index to
lis character than his poor, distorted
eatures.

"Forty-three years the Flower
Mission has been running in New

Kate Oakley away back in 1870, in
the mid-VictOrian era-how far back
it seems now!-their hearts arous-
ed by the pathetic appeal of the
wretched poor of the slums for a
single flower, opened a room where
they gave away flowers two days in
the week, they had no idea of the
permanence of their philanthropy.
Little did they think that AZ years
hence $4,000 nosegays would go to
cheer the downhearted, to lend cheer
to the sick, to encourage those in
despair. Yet in all these years of
stress and strain never has there fail
ed to be a large supply of flowers on
Mondays and Thursdays from May to

END OF STRIPES IN GEORGIA
from the Atlanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Journal.
In abolishing stripes for all GeOr-
gia convicts except those of the in
corrigible class, the state prison
commission has instituted a praise
worthy and very practical reform. A
garb that continually reminds the
prisoner of his degradation can serve
no useful or justifiable end. 1t rep
resents a kind of punishment which
| thoughtful observers agree is as
foolish as it is inhumane and which
enlightened states are fast discard
ing Stripes are simply a relic OF
that dark age when little or no dis
elimination was made among offend
ers against the law, when jails were
conducted as houses of torture and
when society's attitude toward its er-
rant members was one of crushing
indifference to persecution.
One of the distinctive and cheer
ing traits of this age and this coun-
try is the more intelligent interest
which is being taken in prison prob
lens. 1t is the mind and conscience
of the twentieth century which
speaks through this recent order of
the Georgia prison commission. THE
punishment of a convict" the COM
missioners say, should be inflicted
by the labor he performs and the
confinement, not by the garb he
wears or by the treatment he re-
ceives. By putting him in stripes
you so degrade and humiliate him
as to make it almost hopeless to eff
feet a reformation of his charac-
ter
Georgia is to be congratulated that
she has prison commissioners who
recognize one rightful place of re-
form in the penal system. A state
that looks solely to punishment, that
disregards the prisoners future when
he must return to society, that con-
siders the crime alone and ignores
the man, has scant hope of attaining
the true ends for which its laws
exist. Punishment is necessary, but
without the guidance of reform it is
merely a brute force, on which no
civilization worthy the name can be
built or sustained
Under the new order of the COM
mission there will be three grades
of cOnvicts. Those in the highest
two grades will wear uniforms, the
particular color of the uniform indi-
eating whether the prisoner is in the
first or the second grade. Only the
lowest class of conviCts, those who
are incorrigible and are guilty of eX-
traOrdinary offenses against discip-
line will be put in stripes; and even
they by improving their conduct will
be eligible to the two higher grades.
There will thus be provided a sys-
tenn of honor, serving as stimulus
and encouragement to the prisoners
better self. There will be an appeal
to the human and social side of his
and if we may rightly
judge from the records of other pro-
gressive states where this system has
been tried the discipline and the
working efficiency of the. convicts
will be greatly improved.
Georgia is moving steadily for
ward in matters of penal reform.
The legislature enacted at its last
session several measures Of this
character, which will result in far
reaching good We have ceased to
such issues. either Indifferent
Iy or sentimentally; we have come
to study them in the light of the
Individuals practical welfare and the
c0mmunity's practical good.
