What Prison Statistics Show.

WhaT PRISON SeaTISGlcS SNOW
In all modern prisons statistics are
kept which show the religious instruc-
ton received by the prisoners earlier
in life. In almost every instance the
prisoners guilty of the most serious Of
lenses were from infancy trained to
think Of the Almighty rs the great
Enemy Of His creatures, who foreknew
and fore-arranged for the eternal tor
ture of all but a handful. Did these
creeds better those who confessed
them? Did they inspire in the parents

Foolish Fears, Vain Im~asinations.
Little have we realized the foolish
ness of such reasoning. The influence
of the creeds of the Dark Ages has
been the very reverse Of what has been
expected Of them. Man naturally has
a reverence for God. This may be
seen In the shape Of his head by those
who can read phrenologically. 1t is
seen also in the fact that in heather
lands worship is practised. The true
knowledge of God would incline men
to come to Him. The highest qualities

Supreme Dictator Of Lodge is Here
Looking for Site for $780,

The Denver lodge of the Loyal
Order OF Moose, the Chamber OF
Commerce and the Rial Estate Ex-
change started combined effort this
morning to bring to Denver the
$1,25O,OOO consumptive sanitarium
which is to be built somewh re in
the West by the Order of Moose.
Ralph w. E.. Donges, supreme
dictator Of the order arrived in Den
yer at 1880 o'clock this morning
over the Union Pacific railroad for
the purpose of inspecting the city
for the sanitarium and the 1914
convention. He was MT at the
station by J. c. Bloom. treasurer
OF the Denver lodge; Dr.. J. C. Ir-
vine, dictator; A. A. Blakely of the
fire and police board; James j.
Graham. supreme lodge officer; Os-
car D. Cass. representing both tn :
chamber and the exchange and Har-
ry N. Burhans. secretary of tn
Denver Convention association.
Immediately upon his arrival.
DOnges was taken over the city in
an automobile. He was shown ov r
the Phipps sanitarium and the Ma
tional Jewish hospital for con-
sumptives. At O'Clock he was the
gust OF honor at an informal lunch
con in the Brown Palace hotel. at
which he outlined tina plans OF the
sanitariumm and told Of the magni-
tude of the annual convention which
nests this year In Cincinnati dur
ing the week of July 28.
He announced that about -ls0
aOsos Of land will be wantod for the
sanitarium. Governor Ammons and
Mayor Arnold attended the lunch
con and both announced that Den-
yer, would welcome the institution.
The Denver Convention aasocia-
tion Is to bend every energy to get
the, 1914 convention for this city.
The above from the Denver Post
shows the wnderful strides ding
made by this order. They have al
ready spent a half million establish
ing an educational institution and
sanitarium near Chicago known as
the Brooklyn Farm. The order is
making great strides In chari-
table work all along the line.

Just what Ia a senator for? This
question has been asked SO many
times that perhaps an apology
should go with its repetition. But
some senator's seem to believe that
they are sent to Washington. not as
representatives of any human being

ments in working out the country's 8
Destiny (note the capital d please)
One of the latter type is Senator
La Toilette. In his autobiography
we believe that the esttmable
wearer of Wisconsin's most famous
pompadour sneered at the work of
Synator Warren of Wyoming along
practical lines. such as securing
appropriations for postoffices. etc.

William hanoOlph Hearst, from
within the democratic party. has be-
gun a campaign against the Will
son policy of free trade. This is
the first evidence OF the inevitable
disintegratiOn OF democracy.
Mr.. Hearst has never been inclin-
ed to mince words In speaking his
mind. and he has not done 30 in
this case. He says in SO many
words that woodrow Wilson is an
English free-trader-that his the
oriss have all been evolved from
English books on free trade. and
they do not fit conditions in this
country. Furthermore. he sees
In Mr.. Wilson's insistence on visit
ing congress- in person to read his
message. a revival OF an imperial
istic custom which Thomas Jeffer-
son discarded and which no presi-
dent except Wilson, since Jeffer-
sons day. has dared to revive.
Mr.. Hearst believes that in low
ering the tariff bars. as President
Wilson would have them lowered. we
are deliberately depriving ourselves
OF our main weapon of defence
that 1t is through reciprocity and
not free trade that this country
will reap real advantages. Says Mr..
Hearst:
"In the advocacy of intelligent
reciprocity. rather than reckless
and ruthless tariff reduction and
commercial destruction, l have no
selfish motive.
81 have cattle ranches In Mexico.
and 1t Is proposed under Mr.. Will
sons policy to bring beef into the
United States.
"'It would advantage me con-
siderably from a merely sordid
point of view to have Mexican beef
allowed free into the United States
market.
But, as a patriotic American
citizen and Jeffersonian democrat,
1 do not believe that Mexican beef
or any other Mexican product
should be allowed free into the
markets of the United States un-
til American goods are allowed free
into the markets OF Mexico.
"Under Mr. wilson's program 1t
Is proposed to allow white paper
free into the markets of the Unit
ed States from Canada.
"I use over six million dollars
worth of white paper every year.
and from merely a selfish finan-
cial point of view, 1t would bene-
fit me enormously to have white
paper admitted free into the mar
kets Of the United States.
