A Reproach From
A Prison

Editor The Post:
"The Joliet Prison Post ,, IS pub
lished by the ''Board OF Commls-
sioners and Warden of the Illinois
State ePnitentiary, Joliet, ILL. " 1t
is fair to presume that the warden
and commissioners know what is
necessary and what is effective IN
the treatment of prisoners. The
February number, which can be OBJ
tanned by addressing the publlca-
ton office, at ten cents copy, has
for it's leading article a criticism OF
the Delaware whipping post and
stocks system and puts the prison
officials of one of the leading states
of the Union on record as regard
ing the system in Delaware as a
remnant of the wrongs OF past
times. The "Prison POST says:
"According to Governor Miller
this method of punishment is very
popular with the judiciary and the
populace of his state.
"He informs us that once IN d
while some half drunken loon en-
ters a house at night, and when ar
rested and convicted he gets all that
the State of Delaware has to give
in the shape Of punishment.
"The Governor asserts that hys-
terical women, weak men, bullles,
cranks and blackguards from all
parts of the United States have
written to him demanding that ne
prohibit whipping and pillorylng
in his state.
"It may be that torture, humilla-
ton and confinement in uncomfort-
able jails for long periods reduces
crime in Delaware, but if that IS the
only object why stop at these nan
way measures? Why not make a
thorough Job of it by executing all
prisoners after they have been thor
oughly and publicly lashed, pllior-
led to the fullest extent OF the law
and confined in jails of the Dela-
ware type for long periods Such
a program might prove even 1ar
more efficacious in preventing CRIME
delaware is the only state IN
the union which finds the whipping
post and the pillory necessary, con-
seuently, the following questions
seem pertinqent:
81. Is Delaware the only State
in the union that knows how TO
punish crime prOperlyY
2. Are all the other states behlnd
the times by not inflicting public
whippings at whipping post; by
refraining from pillorying and by
attempting to conserve the health
of their prisoners; by aiming to
provide some comforts for the IN
mates of their jails, reformatorels
and penitentiariesf

furthering his political aspirations.
The engineer is directly interest
ed party in road improvement, for
it means work for him and good
salary assured. But the class most
benefited, for many years, has
been a rather silent factor in the
agitation for road improvement. It
is merely a business proposition
with the farmer, and when he
awakes to a full realization Of the
benefits to be derived, the better
ment Of the roads will be done ra-
tionally and effectively.
The speaker quoted and COM
mented on the thirteen advantages
Of good roads as given by Baker,
as follows:
(1) Good roads decrease the
cost Of transportation;
(2) Good roads permit the culti-
walton of crops not otherwise mar
ketable;
(3) Good roads permit a wider
choice in time of marketing crops !;
(4) Good roads permit market
| ing to be done when prices are most
favorable;
(5) Good roads frequently give
a choice in markets;
(6) Locally, good roads tend to
euaize the produce market be-
tween climatic conditions;
CD Good roads tend to equal
ize railroad traffic between the diff
ferent seasons;
(8) Good roads tend to equalize
mercantile business throughout the
year.
(9) Good roads permit easy in
tercourse between members of a
community and widen the commun-
ity and range Of common interest
(10) The consolidation Of rural
schools will be effected when good
roads prevail.
(11) Good roads facilitate rura'
mail delivery;
(12) Good roads tend to change
rural property into suburban prop
erty through inducing travel OF
tourist and furnishing easy routes
for going to and from the city.
(13) A summary of all the above
benefits-good roads increase tht
value Of farming land.
Professor Short called attention
to the fact that out Of thirteen
itemized benefits, nine are in every
detail to the advantage of the farm
er, and the other four are his il
connection with his co-laborers il
moving and distributing products
to the ultimate consumer.
With the automobilist the gooC
road stands for pleasure; with the
politician, a plaything in the game
for advancement; but with the
farmer it is and must be matter
of plain business. The speaker
urged the necessity for the farmer
to grasp his share Of the response
bility in the development of goot
roads.

greater Importance than the re-
demption Of the criminal?
"a. Does the state Of Delaware
do it's full duty toward it's sister
states by looking upon prevention
Of crime within its own borders as
the important matter, and by treat
ing the cure of crime as of second
ary consideration, while it permits

lied to announce the candidacy of Mr..
c. B. Moore for Justice of the Peace to
fill the unexpired term caused by the
death of Judge j. T. Peck.
We believe we fail to properly esti.
mate the value of this Office to the
community. AS a matter of fact it is
one of the most important offices that
we have to fill. 1t is the office that
brings the administration of Justice
closest to our hemes and is the one
possibly most vitally connected with
our every day business life. It is
therefore very important that we call
out to this office our very safest and
best men.
In the first place he shonld be a man
of genuine integrity and who enjoys
the confidence of the community.
In the second place he should be a
man of good, clear and safe judgment,
able to discern the issue and who is
able to rise above personal prejudices
in the administration of law and who
has the moral courage to enforce the
law as it is. Then along with it all he
should be a man of high character and
standing four square for all the very
best interests of the community in
every issue.
We do not think the community
affords man possessing these qualities
in a more fitting degree than Mr..
Moore and should the voters of this
Ward elect him to this Office we believe
that he will I'LL the Office with an eve
single to duty.
Mr.. Moore cannot make a personal
canvass for this Office but he desires us
to say that he will appreciate the
favorable consideration of the voters
of this Ward and should they elect him
to the Office he promises to fill it to the
best of his ability.
The election will be held on May 26th,
and voters should keep this date in
mind and go out to the polls and vote.
Again we say that the> Journal
cordially commends Mr.. Moore to the
voters of the Ward.

SAAN
1t tiny insect, perfect in all its pro.
portions, riddle in the book of nature.
How 1t came there no one knows, and
no human skill could remove it..
Whose would touch that fly must first
crush that wall of adamant around if,
1t is in the very bosom of the gem,
There is in man that which can call God
Father, which Can never cease to be
divine. That something is the Spirit of
God in man; and the Spirit of God in
man is love. 1t is the divinity that
dWellS in the human heart. Then with
this principle within Brethren, let us
love one another, for love is God; and
every one that is begotten of God, and
knoWeth God"
We come now to call particular at.
tention to the text here given and call
to mind the great love of God for the
lost world as manifested in the gift of
his only begotten son into the world
that WhoSOever believeth in him should
not perish but have everlasting life: it
is this of which the author of the text
is speaking when he here says BE.
loved if God so loved us we ought also
to love one another"
|. We ask you to first notice the
sacrifice of LOVE. 1t is this of which
John speaks, when he sayS"In this was
manifested the love of God toward u.s."
ltsis true, the world is teeming with
Illustrations of Gods love, but this
surpasSes them all;true our houses are
filled with proofs of Gods love, but
this tranScendS them all. For "herein
is love, uot that we loved God but that
he loved u.s." We had apostitised
from him, we had willfuIly gone astray
and taken up arms against him, vet in
this was manifested the love of God in
that ne gave his son for us. Love then
was the great missions of our redeemer
to restore, to reclaim, to sancify, to
save. That love was the theme of the
song which John heard in heaven, and
which he calls the new song, the lang.
uage OF redeemed men. And Christ has
given us the grandest example of sacri.
fee, for''h has washed us and cleansed
us from our sins in his own precious
blood?
One may ask was the task hard
one? The answer would be quick and
short, NO; for love was propelling him
and where love is the task is never
difficult, or rather never dreaded. What
ever the price or the cost, with love it
is made easy. This is beautifully illus.
trated in the Mothers tender care of
her first born. In the hour of domestic
duty when hands are full of how the
Mother so rejoiclngly finds the time to
care for the baby. When sickness has
overtaken it, then how easy to drop
everything and care for the child
How willingly the father tolls at his
daily task for the support of the wife
and family. Can you think of an honest
loving Industrious man being unwilling
to make any sacrifice for the protection
care, and support of those who are de.
pendent upon him? Nay verify nay!
He is too glad to make any sacrifice
for their good Those parents stand
ready to sacrifice their own lives for
their children and were it to be tested

the Mother of which Mr.. Moody tells
when the ship on which the mother and
little son four yrs. of age were return.
| ing from an extended trip to the old
country was wrecked by great storm
at sea. All life boats were lowered and
loaded to the gard. When the last one
was leaving the ship Mother shouted
| from the wrecked vessel and wanted to
know If there was room for her and her
little son: when informed it would be
impossible she insisted that they take
her child aboard and return him to his
father. When they returned and 1e>
ceived the child, as she printed a last
kiss upon his soft cheek she said to
him just tell Papa gave my life hero
in the sea to save you for him, and she
persisted in the sea amid the angry
pillows of the mighty deep. Was It
hard for her? No it was the greatest
delight of the Mother heart to save the
boy and send him home to the Fathsr
and husband. Just so it is with love:
| II is unlimited in capacity for sacrifice,
Great is faith but greater is love,
Faith is mighty even to the moving af

it can open blinded eyes and do manya a
miricle: it justifieS the soul and antioi.
pates heaven. Great is faith: but love
iSo greater. Faith tires betimeS; but
love is unWearied, Faith may not al.
ways be welcome: love is at home
everywhere and travels all the world
without passport. Faith is now and
again late. Love stayed last at the
cross and came first to the Sepulchre.
Faith and hope long for heaven: for
God is love and when we love we ara
in heaven.
The question here arises "whenee
cometh this love?" This answer is as.
certained by the consideration of twu
thoughts as to the source of love,
First-It comes by cultivation. We
are born into the world you might say
with the instinct of love deeply i'm,
planted in our natures. With this
nature in us we can cultivate it and
grow nightly therein. Stir the rich
soil of the soul by way of putting the
most charitable construction on the
deeds of even our enemies and this win
have a wholesome effect upon our
love natures. 1t will enable us to
grow in this wonderful gift of God.
Second-Take Christ into the heart
with you, and this will be the greatest
asset of all to the increasing of this
love. Acknowledge him as thy savior
and then how easy to love even the
bittereSt enemy. 1t is not you but
Christ in you the very hope Glory.
Beloved we ought to love another
even as Christ hath loved us. and gave
himself for us that we through his
death and suffering might be saved"
Then let us love by giving ourselves to
| him for service.
g. Out of sacrifice flows service and
for such service as this we live in days
of wonderful opportunity. Opportuni.
ties come to all, Like the stones may
| lie at our feet; and he shall gather most
who stoops the lowest, like him who
came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and Ito give his life ransom
for many" Our responsibilities will be
measured by our capacities to do good.
