Bal Boys Grown Up

In his first report to the people OF
Colorado, Mr.. lyman. Warden of the
Colorado State penitentiary, struck the
keynote of his philosophy phil
osophy founded on the Golden Rule
In speaking of his plans and hopes to
return to the state valuable assets in
the form OF good citizens in exchange
for the Improbable derelicts sent him
Mr.. lyman says:
bad men. when one gets close to
them. are only bad BOYS grown up.
The old idea that imprisonment should
be purely punitive has gone the way
of other ancient Crueltlcs and stupid
ties bequeathed to- us by tradition.
Penal servitudc is no longer consi-
cred SOCiety's revenge upon the indi-
viiual. but SoCietv's effort to reform
and to reclaim. The modern PEN
iten,iarv that sends out unbettercd and
unS,rengthencd men is only menace
to the society tits supposed to protect.

hear SO much is. alter all. only human
nature instructed. And human ma
turc has always been more amenahlc
to spuareness and kindness than to
punishment and unflrnc>s. - Re

SOCIETY OWES ITSELF DUTY
Doubtless In the Future Opportunity
VIII Be Afforded TO All to Get
Out the Best in Them.

The only way that one can dem
onsira'c success in money matters is
by doing most efficiently something
that the world appreciates at the
present time. One must make some
thing the world really wants. and he
must advertise it in such Il way that
the world will realize that il wants
il, otherwise he will get his money
in deferred paymcnts--dcforrcd un-
til after he i dead, and perhaps his
children and his grandchildren. too.
But society is waking up 10 its
privilege of taking care Of every hui
man being. aIrording him all Tn" OPP
pcrtunitics for the development of
the special genius which Is within
him. whether the world values hiS
brand Of genius or not. In other
words, the world is coming TO realize
that everybody must be afforded II
Icccnt living and opportunity for
solf-dcycIopnrnt and expression, or
society itself is the loser
When the world gets things ar
ranged property our waking time
will be divided into four portions
the first for working out our ideals
according to our own special genius
the second for continuing our cluca
ton through lectures, schools. ETC..
the third for working short hours
at doing the thing "" already know
how to do well and which the world
wants MS 10 do. and tn" fourth for
complete relaxation and social inter-

AT LEAST MEN FOR A TIME
Story of Herosm in the "Underworld"
That Is Calculated to Set a

"The underworld ~ That word

late. 1t is used to hint at poverty,
crime, vice, the petrifaction of am
bition, the utter extinction of no.

radiation without a rcdceming trait.
Some even use it with a covert sncer.
But listen to what happened when

New York's underworld caught fire.
"A crowd Of Park row human tlot-

more than thirty feet, but the women
were saved.
"Onlv one needed a surgeons at

away with bruised backs, with heads
cut by flying heels and arms strained
by the impact. Most of those who
made up this human life net said

Resolutions OF Respect

WHEREAS, it has pleased Him
who doeth all things well, to re-
move from our midst our broth
cr and co-worker w. w. Kin
loch, who died Marcn 10, 1914,
we wish here.n to express our
sincere regard and love for the
many splendid qualities that
marked his life. AS a member
of our Session Board, his adj
vice was not only for the best
interest of the church and good
of all concerned, but no man was
never more willing to render
every aid for the good and extern
sion of the cause than he. AS
his health became impaired, the
only question among his aSsoci-
atcS, was to keep him from do.
ing more than he was able to do.
We long ago learned to apprcci-
ate his good advice and the strong
sensible view he took on every
question. We feel that the Pres
bvtcrian church has lost a friend
and member it can never replace.
We never went to him for advice
or financial aid but what we got
"a full measure, pressed down
and running over.' We feel and
know that with a church full of
membership, like our departed
friend, there never could be any
question as to that church meet
ing every obligation. While we
feel and know that our brother
has gone to his reward, we also
fully realize that his place in our
church can never be filled. We
wish here to express our Sympa-
thy for his good family and order
that copy OF these resolutions
be presented to them and also
spread on the minutes of our
church record.

I believe that there are men and Wom'

So long as any part of the body re-
