The Bible In school.

JACKSONVILLE. Ill, Dec. IT,
The practice of Jacksonville school
principals and superintendent has
not been uniform in regard to the
reading OF the Bible in the schools.
At the time the superior court de-
cided against the book, Principal R.
o. Stops, now superintendent of the
Joliet high school and Superintendent
w. A. Furr now Of the Carbonate
State Normal, simply ignored the rul-
ing and continued the morning devo-
lions. Principal w. A. Gore, a uni
verstty Of Illinois alumnus, who came
to Jacksonville from the principalship
of the Cairo high school, preferred to
follow the strict letter of the law and
the morning service
They continued again when Principal
w. s. Collins, an ex-Chicago lawyer
took charge.
In Jacksonville the Catholic church
has its own schools and patronizes
the public schools but little. The en-
rollment of Jewish pupils, who might
object to the Bible reading. is usually
nil.

SAN MARINO AT

Smallest Republic In the World Is

ROME, Dec. 17.--San Marine, the
smallest, but nonetheless one Of the
most obstreperous republics in tbs
world is again at loggerheads with
Italy. Recently the tiny republic pass
ed law obnoxious to the vatican.
The latter protested but San Marine
refused to bulge. Then the vatican

ly thereafter San Marine withdrew
its, and the two powers are still at
outs.
A little later. San Marine solicited
the gift from Italy of two antiquatel
cannon and at once increased its war
footing by organizing an artillery
corps Of nine members. Later 1t was
discovered that the republic was so
small that there was no point within
the kingdom where artillery practise
could be INDUCED In without the can
non balls dropping in Italian terri
tory and thus creating hostile act.
San Marino had no sooner apologized
to Italy for this than she again start
ed fresh trouble.
Like France, Italy and most Of the
other powers, San Marine exercises
government monopoly on tobacco
from the sale of which it receives
most of it's state revenues. The gov
ern smnt's supply is purchased from
Italy and ordinarily amounts TO a
half ton a year.
In 1911, however, the San Marinose
did not chew and smoke SO much al
ordinarily and San Marine purchased
from Italy only a quarter Of ton
OF tobacco. This year smoking and
chewing is more popular and San
Marine has demanded of Italy that 1t
come across with the other quarter
of ton to which 1t was entitled In
1911. Italy says 1t won't and San
Marino has all hut said that If 1t

What Shall be Done.
Chaplain Pickworth suggested help,
ing a man to keep away from the
walls rather than helping him after
he comes out. II believe we can do
more with the man before he has been
inside the walls than afterwards. The
law to suspend sentence Is wise and
should be followed up. The only weak
spot is that the Judge has no means
of knowing, often, whether a man is
a repeater or not. 1t will save money
to the state, and 1t will save the man,
often. If you can parole a man and
release him after term why not
let him out before, and allow him to
keep his self respect. l do not adj
vocate this in all cases There are
some crimes which must be paid for,
but we should give man chance
to redeem himself in minor crime.
Now what are we to do after
they come out. The men who speak
most unkindly are the men who
should be in prison themselves, often.
A discharged man needs employment.
And he needs remunerative employ
ment. Too of,3n employers beat down
man because they know his past.
Help the men all you can If they
come begging money, don't give 1t t.
them, for they will spend it wrongly
Chaplain Pickworth sketched the
work OF the various homes for friend
less men, and the efforts that are
being made to help the men who have
been behind the walls. His lecture
was enlivened with many interesting
little stories Of the life behind the
walls.

AGAINST TECHNlCALITY
One Law for the Rich and Poor is
Advocated by the Rev.
Felix II. Pick
worth.
Some Plckworth ldeas.


1--WE can do more to change a man

than when he comes out"
"If you can parole man and re-
Ieas him after a prison term, why not
before?"
There Is too much allowing OF APP
peals to the supreme court"
There should be but one law for
the rich and the poor"

"When a man comes to you, help
him. Do not give him money If he
asks for Il. Buy him meal and his
railroad tickets, but don't let him
handle the money"
Men In prison are much like men
outside the walls, according to Rev
Felix H. Pickworth, chaplain of the
| reformatory at Anamosa, who spoke
before an audience in st. Johns par.
ish house last night. The general
public's idea that they are hardened
men and bad women is erroneous
the chaplain said. They have the
some characteristics that we have
thsy have their ideals, but environ
ment, ignorance, evil companions and
the character OF the homes from
which they come, may all be causes
for their being behind the walls OF a
prison
Society Is not altogethe- to blams

Mr.. Pickworth held, but he declared
that it behooved all Of us to ask
whether we were making it easy tt

Too Many Technicalities.

the law should be enforced He took
occasion, however, to rebuke the
policy of resorting to tschnicalities.
The parole law he said was causing
a spirit of unrest and prisoners were
constantly pulling wires. There is
too much permitting OF appeals to
the supreme court, too much dallylng
in clear cases." he said.
The law should not make a distinc-
ton between the rich and the poor,
the chaplain said. THE law should
be enforced fairly and squarely In
the case Of the rich man as in tn ?
case of the poor man. Few will deny
that the man with the money has the
advantage. The man with means
usually squirms out. The crimes COM
mitted by the rich and poor differ
only in the degrees to which they are
committed"
The prison official studies the man
and his weaknesses, the chaplain de-
clared. There is good left in every
mans heart, he said, no matter how
deep into crime he went. The word
hardened criminal is too much used,
he said The public reads in the nsws-
papers that man is hardened
criminal, and Judges from this. The
prison officials Judge from the men
themselves.
Society 10 Awakening.

things which make criminals, the
