 The guilt lies on the entire common wealth
 Others kept these men in prison too long How long do many persons keep themselves in prison needlessly? Imprisoned by bad habits, by errors of thinking. by carelessness Confined by lack of will power to be free to ex- ert the full powers of their minds and bodies.
 Get out of jail.
 There are the jails that the state builds great, strong fortresses--from which there is no release save by expiration of sentence or by death. Mercifuly we are doing away with them and giving the of fender work in the outdoors where there is healing of spirit and mind.
 There are the prisons of our own mak- ing. wherein we confine ourselves. The bars are invisible, but just as strong as those of steel.
 We condemn ourselves to these prisons, and we keep ourselves there just so long and no longer as we make no effort to release ourselves.
 'Ben-Hur" may not be read as often now as it was in the closing decades of the nineteenth century. although it has deserved and still deserves it's great fame. It is a far better book than many of the so-called 'historical' novels which are published nowadays.
 In it we read:

{" HE measure of man is to be found
 in his motives. As his life is ! made up of series of actions, all mind and soul to be learned from the motives which underlie his actions.
 Psychologists have invented word to express this They speak of "motiva- tion.'' meaning provision with a motive for action or thought And in this sense the word is used by man who has studied the science of mind. He says: ''The cue to a constructive programme lies in motivation. Every man, whether confined or free. should have something to live and work for. Without wholesome motives to live and work for he is worse off than the brute and quickly descends below it's level''
 Supply motive and you supply life. Take away motive and you take away the zest of living. even sometimes the desire to live. The rest is mere satis- flying the animal instincts of the body.
 Says the poet Herbert:
 s'A servant with this clause
 Makes drudgery divine;
 Who sweeps room as cor thy laws
 Makes that and the action divine.''
 And Tennyson in the 'Tdylls of the King tells us of the knight who became . kitchen drudge for love of his lady and who wrought all kinds of service with a noble ease that graced the lowiest act in doing it.''
 The motive is the thing that underlies the work.
 He builds truly who erects his life for the sake of something good. It -shall stand as a tower in the plain for all men to see and note. And he who sell nshly seeks his own glory may indeed construct higher edifice, but it's founda- tion is not secure. and 1t shall fall into ruin perhaps even before the builder shall have passed away.
 So 1t has been in all history. So shall it ever be.
 "Too low they build who build beneath the stars" If the motive is just and fair it shall serve as a sure foundat. on for the rearing of life.
 There is choice of motives. The de- sire for gain, if pursued honestly and as result of service rendered. is worthy. The love of family and friends and the wish to serve them Is mighty force The -ider hope of fame is not to bs condemned.
 All "motivate'' men and women, to use the language of the psychologists. toward he.service of others as weil as of self. 1In Detroit not long ago a man who kDhad been an officer in the British army /and was believed to be the descendant of a noble English family killed him self with . shotgun. He left . note ad- dressed to friend.

Through Interstate Commerce
Commission Says Dart
mouth Professor.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission will soon as
sumo as complete control of railway
service as 1t now has of rates, in the
opinion OF Prof. F. H. Dixon OF Dart
mouth College who addressed the
Western Economic Society here today;
and once the commission has estab-
lished that control, he held, 1t would
be OF little or no public concern
whether railways had interlock king di-
rectorates.
Interlocking Diretcorates
Prof. Dixon reached this conclusion
after an academic discussion OF his
subject, THE Economic Significance
of 1nterlocking Directorates In Rail-
way Finance" Pointing to the tend
ency toward government regulation,
he added: -
"That 1t will stop short of govern
ment ownership does not seem at all
clear
He spoke largely in justification Of
the! relations between bankers and
railway boards. The evils he saw In
this connection doomed largest when
one considered the relations between
bankers themselves, tending to estab-
fish a single source of credit
1T may be-" he suggested, that no
relief can be found short Of the rad
icalS step Of employing government
credit in aid Of public service indus
tries. So vital is the necessity OF
the service to the people that the
time may come when government
loans to! transportation corporations
will appear to be a logical and nat
ural STEP q,
He condemned the interlpcking Of
railway directories with those, OF other
Industries. but. found an economic
need for close association among rail-
roads themselves.
No Justification
'There seems to me to be but one
outcome Before long the commits
sion will be compelled to regulate
service quite as rigidly as it does
rates. All the power necessary to do
SO is already theirs by statute, and
they have already In many individual
cases made significant rulings that
