A LAUDABLE MovFdENT.

The Prisoners RELIEF Society, or
sanized in Huntington and incorpo-
rated under the laws of West vir-
einia, establishes upon practicable
working basis theory long popular
in the philanthropic mind.
Many years ago a crusade, more or
less general and intelligent. was
started for the abatement Of the bru-
lality and humanity which were
the chief characteristics OF prison
life. The time was, and not so long
ago, when prisons were hell and
when to be in prison was to be
damned. Humanity, softened by
Christianity and broadened by pro-
longed contact with the light, has
gradually eliminated the horrors OF
prison experience. The brutality, the
torture, the loathsome atmosphere
cnce attached to the prison have been
dissipated by the new spirit. But
there is still! room for vast improve
ment of conditions inside prison
walls. The theory that the intent OF
Incarceration is, under the new dis
rensation, reformatory. curative, and
designedly the agent OF reclamation,
has not yet permeated authority ev-
erywhere. Imprisonment, in the
view OF many, is still an instrument
purely punitive in design, and that
prisoners are to be hurt, rather than
healed as a result of their prison ex-
periences. is a common belief.
For five hundred years civilization
CROPPED in the dark on this question.
dealing out punishment in copious
measure. but forgetting the Christian
clement Of reform. Prisoners, wheth-
or criminals or not, lost their human
identity the moment they became
prisoners. A brutal system. welded

The local officers have Just re-

WHY ADVERTISING PAYS.

Doubt exists In certain quarters
as to the gain of advertising, and
you can generally tell the business
firms and individuals who entertain
such narrow views on commercial
publicity. When a lover of art Sc
cures n rare painting no one would
ever know that lie had it II he did
not inform his friends and acnuain>
tances Of the fact. There is not
much pleasure in possession IL 9TH
ers do not enjoy It with you. So it
is with the merchant who has de-
sirable goods to dispose of. He goes
out and tells about them through an
attractive advertisement in the
newspapers. He impresses the pco-
pie that lie has something they
want. They go to see, and they
buy. In this way he turns over his
stock many times in season. His
capital does not lie idle in unsold
goods which pay no interest. In the
rapid disposal OF one invoice he is
able to replace them, and consc-
|quently has fresh stock the year
round.
Now, another merchant in the
same business may have Just as good
a stock, but he doesn't believe In adj
vertising; he doesn't let the people
know what he has, and they pass his
place for the man who has told them
what he has for sale. In the ono
place the goods remain on the
shelves until fly-blown and shop
worn, and they are passed up when
a customer does look at them. In
the up-to-date advertising shop ev-
erything is fresh and sells itself
from its very newness. In one shop
the merchant wonders why the peo-
pie don't buy; in the other the mer.
chant knows why they buy, because
he has told them what he has for
sale.
The moral is, II you don't make a
noise people won't know you are
alive. The world absolutely refuses
to take any interest in dead ones

ONLY TWO LEFT,

A prominent Democrat who helped
to elect the Bull Moose commission
ers in Fairmont stated that in case of
a recall election Smith and Lehman
would have easy sailing as they are
the only two Moosers in the city. We
did not know that the Moose herd
had been reduced so greatly as that
but we have noticed that the number
is getting very small. But as long
as the browsing is good around the
city hall you may depend upon at
least two Of the heard remaining on

such practices IN certain parts Of the
world, and were Il not so clearly con-
ltIrmed in history.
Thistpracticel OF all hurting ana NO
healing, carried on for centuries. has
fosited upon society what we know
today as the criminal class, and has
brought down to us the problem q
how to oyerturn the results Of vi:
cious and %unchristian system, and
right theswrongs piled up by cen.
turies offblindness and cruelty.
We have come to the point where
we can frankly acknowledge that the
main object Of imprisonment is to
reform, to help and to restore, ex-
Icept in cases Involving confirmed
Icriminality, and that, in event the
most confirmed cases, we must alb
stain from unnecessary cruelty and
show forth a humane spirit.
This much for prison life. There
is another feature. and to this feature
the Prisoners Relief Society, of West
Virginia. will dedicate its services
and direct its labors. Not every man
compelled to spend term in prison
has been criminal. Some have been
'unjustly convicted. Others have Of
Tended, even to the point of Grimm
atty, and have been punished by
terms Of imprisonment, to walk forth
free, not as criminals, but as men
who have paid for their folly. Men,
without the slightest faint of the
criminal. have moved by sudden OUT
bursts of passion, or driven by des-
perate circumstances, done the things
which have brought about their in
generation. All such, whether Grim
inal or not, have, by common consent
and in keeping with custom. been
branded. And once free they find it
hard, even in a land Of boosted en-
llghtenment and paraded Christian
lily, to establish themselves in the
ways OF honesty and decency and self
support.
1t is to alleviate this upfriendly
condition and to extend material and
Immediately help to all such, that the
Prisoners Relief Society has been
formed. It is proposed, under this
name, to practice some Of the theo-
ries and precepts Of Christ; to con-
struct a human program the purpose
of which will be to extend practical
Christianity and humanitarian aid
where they will count in the exter-
mination of the hard and false .theo-
ries of past and present, and to aid
in the establishment of Just condi-
lions of life. Tho purpose Of the So
tiety will be to teach men and wo-
men to discriminate between actual
criminals and those whose misfortune
1T may be to have been imprisone ed /.
iIt'will propagate gospel of belief,
help and trust. 1t will combat, that
theory which makes criminals Of men
and women by a process of cold cruel
ty which dehumanizes them and con-
firms their ruin by pitiless persecu-
tion.-Huntington Herald-Dispatch.

AIehegan-the first time Hughie was
knocked out, by the way-needs only
to give a little study to the rules which
prevail in Australia to do himself
proud.
Bigger Classes in Middle.
The bigger classes in Australia are
in more of a muddle than the light
weights even. Dave Smith went right
down the line from white hopes and
light heavies TO middleweights and
proved too good for them all Among
his victims was Bill Lang a zoo FOUNDER,
who I'D to that time was called heavy
weight champion of Australia.
Then Eddie McGOorty came along
and did Tor Smith in less than two
minutes of boxing. Accordingly Nc
Goorty is champion of Australia in
several classes at present.
Since busting Dave Smith, the Osh-
zOsh fighter, has had a brush with
Pat Bradley young Irishman who
went to Australia from san Francisco.
When Dave Smith boxed this same
Bradley the referee stopped the match
in the twelfth round to save Bradley
from unnecessary punishment. Yet
Bradley went the full distance with
McGOorty and merely lost on points,
whereas McGOOrty practically licked
Smith with the punch that he landed.
It's a hit of a tangle and I have no
doubt it will be Strengthened out by
sending Smith and Bradley together
again and then matching the winner
with McGOorty.

Brown, of Philadelphia, at Sydney, had
to wait no time for his revenge. He
turned the tables on Brown at the
second meeting 1t can therefore be
seen that if Ritchie goes across there
toward the end of the year it will be
quite the thing, according to the Aus
tralian viewpoint to parade both Me-
hogan and MCCOY as worthy opponents
for him. This, of course, if in the
meantime Herb and Hughie manage
to maintain the average of excellence
they have displayed during the past
couple of years.

n AN FRANCISCO, Calf, Feb. Is
The fact that Snowy Baker and

quest Of pugilistic talent for the box
ing organizations they represent In
Australia Is the best proof that the
sports down yOnder are steadfast pa
irons Of the game of the glove. At
that, it is to wonder how the travelling
commissioners named can afford to
offer big money to top nOtchers Of this
country
Just at present Australia is woefuny
lacking in suitable talent TO send
against visiting stars.
Take the lightweight division, for
instance. When Baker arrived here,
intent upon Turing Willie Richie to
the land of the Golden Fleece, he be-
leFed he had several fairly suitable
matches in sight for the lightweight
champion.

To begin with" said Snowy. I'll
pit him against Hughie Michigan, the

The words were hardly out OF Bakers

company with Eddie McGOOrty and

After this wholesale bowling over Of

where to find a fit opponent for Rit-

Australia. There is this TO it, how
ever; one defeat does not set ring
man aside in that country the way it
does here. A man of known ability
does not lose caste on account Of
