TEACH THE ERRING.

G EVENTEEN young men, not one
~ of whom was 20 years old, were
awaiting sentence in New York
court the other day. With them was
a man Of 70, also waiting to learn
his fate. The young men began. to
make sport of him.
WATT" said the old man, II have
spent 80 years of my life in prison.,
and now that I am down and out,
You young fools taunt me with my
age. I'm no preacher, but I want to
tell you that crime doesn't pay. You
should thank God that you are not as
old as I am, and that there is still
some hope for YOU"
The outburst shamed the young
men into silence, and one 16-year- old
boy broke down and sobbed.
Would it not be an effective plan
of discouraging crime to have a NOV
ing picture gallery in connection with
the police courts, where those ar
rested for offenses that are steps to
degradation, would be shown on the
canvas examples of the results of a
Wayward course of life?

BOOSTS AND SLAMS -

NOW FOR THE TARIFF.

HE house ways and means COM
nearing on the tariff and the chemical
schedule is understood to be about
ready for reframing. This hearing
brought out nothing new. There was
the same old plea for protection from
the special privilege beneficiaries, but
1t was with a resigned air, they know
ing that the consumer was not repre-
sented In the government.
NOW will come the hearings on the
other schedules and by the time the
new congress meets in special session
1t Is expected the bills for the prom
ised Democratic reduction will be
ready for Introduction. 1t is not en-
pected that these bills will be ultra
radical. There will be no running
amuck. There will be readjustment
and revision, viewed from the view
point OF the people who pay the tax
instead of altogether from that of the
people who receive it through the
prices they are permitted to put on
their products.
or course Republicans are viewing
this tampering with the sacred tariff

even predicting disaster notwithstand-
ing the general calmness with which
business views the situation. With the
aid of few protection Democrats
they may manage to give the con-
sumer a rather poorer chance in the
senate than he has had in the house,
for that policy has been too good a
thing for it's beneficiaries for them
calmly to see it operated on. But
when one as skilled in protected in
dustry and the ms and outs of that
millionaire creating policy as Mr.
Carnegie, approves Of the policy of
revision downward, and shows that it
will stimulate rather than hurt busi-
ness, 1t is time for them to pull in
their fears and accept the peoples
orders.

A TOUCH OF. KINDNESS.

If you were toiling up a weary hill,
Bearing a load beyond your
strength to bear,
Straining each nerve, untiring, and
still
Stumbling and losing foothold here
and there,
And each one passing by would not
so much
AS give one upward lift and go
their way,
Would not the slight reiterated touch
of help and kindness tighten all the
day?
If you were breezing a keen wind,
which tossed
And buffeted and chilled you as
Till baffled and bewildered quite, you
lost
The power to see the way and aim
and move,
And one, if only for moments
space,
Gave you a shelter from the bitter
blast
Would you not find it easier to face
The storm again when the brief
rest was past?
There is no little and there is no
much;
We weigh and measure and define
in vain,
A look. a word, a light, responsive
touch
Can he the minister IF iov IN main
A man can die Of hunger walled in
gold,
A crumb may quicken hope to
stronger breath,
And every day we give or we with
hold
Some little thing which tells for
life or death.

BAD CONDITIONS REVEALED.

IN the tenements of New York being brought to
light by the State Factory Investigation Commission
Testimony has been adduced which shows that in
many instances the children compelled to work
or the entire family would face starvation.
1t was shown that the price Of the necessities of
life are higher than before in the history of the
United States and the earnings of the tenement dwell
lers so low that with the entire family working
the average was only 81 week.
The stories related under oath, which will be re-

Free Husband.

Mrs. Fred J. Mooney, wife of the
Duluth iron worker convicted in the
dynamite case at indianapolis, re-

day. Since her return she has been
busily engaged in getting bondsmen
for the release of her husband from
the Leavenworth prison.
Mrs. Mooney carried message
from her husband to his friends in
Duluth. 1t was as follows: -"
Il am innocent of any crime,
though the court has found me guilty.
If could gain my liberty by pleading
guilty, would be unable to do so,
for I would have to commit perjury.
If any crime has been committed, it
has been against me and my family,
in depriving me of my liberty and
the opportunity to support my wife
and Children -" D.: = ~~".
The full amount of MONEYS, bond

friends. In speaking Of the trial at

luth friends and to reanirm my own
belief in his innocence" said Mrs.
Mooney today. II have received two
letters from him since he has been
at Fort Leavenworth. He says that
he has tried to console himself for the
unfortunate circumstances that have
caused his imprisonment, but he can

GOOSE LOGIC.

g AVAGERY wasn't so savage after
~ all when We compare it with
many features of our ,present-day
civilization.
The savage had an equal chance
with his fellow. If there was famine.
he had to suffer with them. If there
was plenty, he had plenty. Now,
whether famine or plenty. the ma
jority suffer.
In this advanced day more food
per capita is produced than ever be-
fore in the history of the world, and
we are paying bigger prices for that
food than ever before.
Then when the people become dis
contented with such condition, they
are hushed into submission with the
threat that there is danger in dis
turbing conditions" in 'dispelling
prosperity" 49,
