TYNE BLUFF O ROGRESS
 ROSPERITY
SEND SOMEBODY TO JAIL.

There is something in the com plaint that a man can steal a million and get away with it, but if he steals a nam or a loaf of bread the scound- rel should be sent to jail to serve as example to other dishonest men and to justly punish him for his crime The Memphis banker who is alleged to have robbed the depositors Of sbank of million is likely to escape trial, but negro who stole 90 cents twenty years ago has just been parol- ed. If he steals another half-dollar he will be sent back to serve the balance of his fifty-year term. The S90,O00,OOO of the property of the stockholders of the New Haven road will probably never be brought to trial for unlawful acts, although they would have long since been in jail If they had stolen merely millioneth part of what they made way with un- lawfully.
 Criminal prosecution Is the only thing that will deter "malefactors of great wealth" from unlawful acts. The prison stripes awarded to Walsh, tine Chicago bank wrecher, and to Morse, the New York high finaacier' were wholesome deterrants, but they have not been awarded often enough. The New Haven revelations indicate that somebody out to go to jail. If it is impossible to fix the blame so as to convict some of the guilty, it is the duty of congress to make pro- visions for the conduct of great cor porations so that the records will show who is to blame, for the whole sale footing of the property of small investors.

The Dawn of Christianity As Described in
 THE NEW TESTAMENT
 Translated from the Original Greek.

15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
 16. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thornes, or figs of thistles?
 IF. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a cor rupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit
 IS. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
 19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
 20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
 2l. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
 22. Many will Say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophe- sled In thy name and in thy name nave cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works |?
 23. And then will I profess unto them, 1 never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
 "A. Therefore whoseover heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, l will likea him unto a wise man, which built his house upon rock:
 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, ana beat upon that house.; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
 26. And every one that hearth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likeaed unto a foolish man. Whlch built his house upon the san:
 27. And the rain descended. and the floods came, and the winds blew. and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
 2S. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonisde at his doc- trine:

 tions, and others who have been out of the state for half century showed up at the polls on election day.
 It is said that in one election a few years ago everybody who had lived in certain county for 100 years back voted one particular ticket, and not the least remarkable fact was that they all voted in alpha habetical order, just as their names had appeared on all the tax lists of the last century.
 When the late Jeffreys Davis, who for obvious reasons shortened his name to Jeff Davis, was running for governor of Arkansas, the boys all came up from the forks of the creek and from beyond the bayou to vote for him, under the impression that they were voting for Jeff Davis who was president of the Confederacy. It is said that in eastern Tennesseee noun taineers still occasionally vote for Andrew Jackson, and Thomas H. Ben- ton is still running pretty we'll in some parts of Missouri. It is alto gether likely that William Jennings Bryan will poll votes for president long after the eulogies have been pro- nounced over his remains and maybe Theodore Roosevelt will never quit running for the presideniy. Like the late John Brown, his soul will keep marching on and he will. get votes until the last rough rider has unsad- dled, which from present indications, as shown by the records of the pen sion office at Washington, will be about the year 2040.

CRIME AND PUBLICITY.

Murder is not merely an affair of city slums, mining camps, and lonely tarmhouses. Recent mysteries that detectives, newspapers, and public have been trying to unravel have oc- cured in a setting of conventional ized society.
 Civilization and conventional living are often said to be only thin veneer. Underneath is the same old human tiger of love and jealousy and pas sion and anger. He devours alike his victims, whether on the fringes of civilization, or in the atmosphere of culture
 Yet 1t Is remarkable how conven- ticnal living does tend to exclude the darker acts of human nature. Educa- ton and refinement point out to the human intelligence that crime brings its own punishment. The murderer suffers thousand times more than the murdered
 The greatest deterrent from crime with many people is the fear of pub- licity. When two foreign born labor- CTS quarrel over their sweethearts and one deals a deadly blow. the z newspapers dismiss it ia hasty para graphs. But if these elemental deeds occur among socially conspicuous people, there are headlines and black type.
 As the human mind becomes more complex. it tends to shelter itself from the eyes of the curious. It bit. terly resenfs impertinent prying. II demands the chance to lead it's Own life secure frob observation. un. doubtedly the gossipy habits of conn. try leighbors are on cause why peo. pie move to city life.

The Gospel According to
 ST. MATTHEW.

CHAPTER '.
 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
 ?. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and With what measure yet mete, it shall be measured to you again.
 3. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but considerest not the beam that is ill thine owh eye?
 4. Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold beam is in thine own eye?
 5. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brothers 5 eye.
 6. Give not that which is holy un- to the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
 2. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find knock, and it shall be opened unto you;
 8 For every one that asketh re- ceiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that k1ocketh it shall be opened.
 g. Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone?
 10. Of if he ask fish, will he give him serpent?
 Ii. If yet then, being evil, know how. to give good gifts unto your how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
 12. Therefore all things whatso- ever yet would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. for this is the law and the prophets.
 13. Enter ye in at the straight gate; for wide si the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.
 IA. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

This feeling receives it's sharpest shock when people of refined tastes and conyentionalized habits become connected with some deadly crime. One suspects that the questioning by reporters, the space in the news papers, the sordid inspection of ones daily affairs by whole nation is more dreaded than even the possl- bility of the electric chair.

TO COMPENSATE FEDERAL EM. PLOYEES FOR OCCTPATIONAL
 DISEASES.

The Kern -McGillicuddy bill to pro- vide compensation for employees of the United States suffering accidents or occupational diseases in the course of their employmen was favor ably reported by the House judiciary committed The bill is being urged by the American Association for La bor Legislation and is endorsed by numerous medical, labor and civic bodies.
 The federal government now em- ployes more than one-third of mil lion men and women, many of them in hazardous undertakings such as river and harbor work, navy yards and arsenals, the reclamation and forestry services, and in the canal zone:
 Official reports show that many of these employees are not properly protected against accidents and oc- cupational diseases, and that the in- jured are compensated inadequately or not at all. One case of acute lead poisoning causing a loss of thirty seven days by navy yard employee was refused compensation under the existing law because the inhalation of lead dust in his case was "a neces- sary incident" of his occupation, and therefore there was nothing acci- dental in the injury resulting there from"
 A girl employed to fold heavy paper in the government printing of flee contracted from continuous strain on her fingers and wrist a cystic growth which she was obliged to have surgically removed, but com pensation was refused her on the ground that her incapacity was mot due to injury" but to excessive use." Many similar cases, including com pressed air illness, could be cited.
 In the matter of accidents, "frac- lures of an arm or leg," reports the bureau of labor, "have led to pay ments in amounts less than $25, the loss of an eye in amounts varying between $25 and $50 and in the case of the loss of right arm the injur ed workman was entitled to a pay me2t of less than $50."
 The Kern-McGillicuddy bill was drawn by workmen's compensation experts after careful study. It's en- actment would establish for United States employees scientific standards Of indemnity in accord with those of the more progressive American states and European countries.

PRESS OPINIONS
Leaving Canadian NOrth-
 west

(Woman's National Weekly.)
 Lured by the fine advertising done by the Canadian railroad many good American citizens emigrated to the Canadian Northwest hoping to sudden ly become wealthy. These thrifty cit izens have found that they were bet ter off in the United States than in their new Eldorado. They have been able to make but 4 cents profit a bushel in growing wheat, which is the staple crop of that country. The win ters are long aand bitter and for months man and beast must be fed and cared for without either doing anything to earn the feed. This con sumes the profits and leaves the farmer nothing to show for a year of hard work amid great discomforts and privatiOns. In any of the states men can earn more clear money than in the Canadian Northwest, as those who have gone there can testify. Why should any man, in these modern times, play the role of pioneer and suffer privation and undergo hard ship when he could enjoy fine climate and make a comfortable living amid pleasant surroundings, passes under standing. There is still an abun- dance of good land in the United States which may be had on easy terms and at low prices where there are all sorts of desirable advantages in the way of churches and schools. Let those who contemplate leaving this country first investigate the op- portunities which several of our own states have to offer.

TWO FUGITIVE FEDERAL
OFFICERS RECAPTURED.
December 3.

Fifty years ago today two officers
OF the Nineteenth Massachusetts, Regi-
ment. Capt John r. c.. Adams and
Lieut.. Frank Osborne. who had escaped
from Confederate prison camp at CO.
lumbia- S. C., on November %. and
struck southwark, in the hope of find-
Ing sherman's army. were again in cap
tivity.
The adventures in getting out OF
their prison and in their recapture.
when almost in sight of the Federal
lines. may be accepted as typical of
conditions under which many other
Federal prisoners sought liberty in the
last six months OF the war.
Adams and Osborne had been prison
ers hve months, having been captured
with their regiment in front of Peters
burg on June 22, when the Confederates
turned the flank of the Second Army
Corps by surprise, taking more than
1000 prisoners. The Nineteenth Massa-
chusetts had been greatly reduced in
strength in Grants overland campaign
and its numbers were not more than
those Of a properly filled company.
In book of "reminiscences. Capt.
Adams, who afterward became SER
geant-at-arms OF the Massachusetts,
legislature, left a vivid description of
his experiences as a prisoner. He de-
scribed the camp at Columbia as a
rough stretch Of ground covered with
second growth. The prisoners were pro-
vtded with no means of shelter AS soon
as possible after their arrival they be-
gan to build huts for themselves.
though with but eight axes to 1.5O0
men the work was slow.
The prisoners were ragged. dirty.
weak and bereft of almost everything
that would make them comfortable. In
