OUR MEMORIAL

MOTHER Memorial day is at hand and
a again grateful nation will pay tribute to
its fallen defenders by strewing their
III graves with fragrant flowers and mark
ing their final resting places with the
country's fag-the colors they held
dear. No nation in the world has done
more-or so much for it's patriots, either
in life or in the matter of keeping green
the memory of their valor; and as Ameri-
cans by birth or adoption, we cannot help
but feel the thrill of pride and sense of
qualification that we are a part of this
nation. even though we may be temper
arily deprived of that liberty so dear to every
and even though we may be branded now as
atoms in that great army of men and women whom
society is pleased to term it's discredited ocasts
and moral lepers."
To us the day has quite as much significance as
it has to those of the great outdoors. We love
flag and revere the memory of those brave men
who gave their lives for its cause. We do not
blame our country or our state for our present
condition; we hold no grudge or enmity against
any man; condemn not the laws we trans
crossed; our condemnation goes only to ourselves
and to the unfortunate and oft times unavoidable
circumstances which contributed to our downfall
orial day has significance for the inmates un-
known to those who have escaped punishment.
1t means great deal more than the mere extra
days rest and day of pleasure-seeking recreation
1t means another day when we can sit in our silent
cells and let memories revive the scenes of
similar days spent amid more pleasant surround
ings; when recall and live again the bright
er days. 1t will give us an opportunity, too to
scatter flowers of loving thoughts and charitable
forgiveness to those who have injured us most,
hoping that in doing we may in turn be
forgiven by those whom we may have injured.
We can make it day of infinite gladness by in
terring the putrd and sinful past; burying forever
from view the scenes and thoughts of our indis-
cretions; covering them with the rich, productive
soil of determination and scattering over all, the
never failing seeds of loftier ambition and Chris
tian manhood.

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL"

- NDER the above caption, the New York
u Dry Goods Economist tells story of
young woman who stole fifty dollars from
Ill department stOre and admitted that
III she had taken the money. She was tax
en- before the court and tried, and the
jury after listening to the evidence and
an eloquent plea by the attorney for the
defense, rendered the extraordinary YER
il dict that the guilt of the department store
management, in paying less than living
wage, was greater than the guilt of the
girl who stole the money Hence, shay
ing the lesser guilt" the girl, it was
held, was not guilty at all.
1t appears that the girl in question started to
work IN a large Chicago store at S. week. Her
salary was raised to $e and finally to 81. Her
hight, however, against the cost of living decent
hfe to quote Harper's Weekly, became more
and more intense, till, one day, the crisis came
She needed money. She had no friends and no
bank to borrow FROM So she took $50 Of her
employers money, left the store, paid her debts
and disappeared. This was in September. 1919
Inc prosecutions case complete and as above
stated, the defendant admitted her guilt. putt;no
In as defense the facts as above summarized: or
as we would put It, that she needed the money
and had to get it.
The attorney for the defense made no anneal
to the law He admitted his clients guilt but Ms
ing the now familiar term of wage slavery
urged that the question was one of morality and
that the jury had to decide who was guilty-the
employer for paying starvation wages or the
working girl for taking some of the employers ill
gotten gain. He asserted that So week not be-

alton; but after viewing the matter from every
angle, we do not believe that, given his choice,
the average man would have it otherwise
When man. enters this prison as an inmate
he is given a number merely to designate him.
He does not lose his personality insofar as the
elimination OF his name is concerned; for he is
known and called by name, by all officials. He
signs his receipts with his full name and his
monthly orders or receipts for wages earned are
made out in his name; so that a Minnesota prison
er in no way loses his identity or even temporarily
casts it aside when he enters here
AS for publishing the names of prisoners, the
Mirror would advise it's valued contemporary to
go slow before adopting any such plan. Most men
who enter prison have respect for the name they
have more or less disgraced. They have families
little children, perhaps, whose futures mean
much to them. They do not, therefore, seek no
teriety or undue publicity of the fact that they
are confined as criminals they would much pre-
fer to have their names left blank even on the
prison roster than to have it perpetually paraded
In the prison paper or any other publication.
And this brings to mind a suggestion made to
the editor by Mrs. A. G. McCurdy, of Mnneapo-
lis upon her recent visit here, in which she said
that she hoped that the time was not far distant
when men charged with crime would be designated
by number and not by name; that when arrested
their names should, by process of law, be kept
secret and only their numbers given this in order
to protect innocent sufferers from disgrace and at
the same time eliminate the possibility of exagger-
ated and fake newspaper reports of the mans
past.
There is certainly much wisdom in Mrs. Nc
Curdys suggestion. 1t is logical and well worth
giving careful consideration. 1t is in KEEPING
with idea of the name and number promo
stion.

HE adjustment of the number system by
the Federal prisons has been hailed with
! enthusiasm by the papers printed within
the walls of the government penitentiar-
les; and Good Words. the Atlanta prison
paper, is much elated over the fact that
it is now privileged to use the prisoners
names in it's columns instead of their
numbers.
At first blush, it seems hard and cruel
to deprive man of his name when he
enters prison. and substitute in it's

 With this view of the case firmly concluded Judge Gotham yesterday

VITALITY OF SEED.

Assuming that every care has been
taken to get seed well adapted to the
conditions Of cultule, it is still i'm
portant to see that the seed is of good.
Vitality and capable of producing;
storing, vigorous plants. Cheat waste
of land and labor results every year
from the use of seed of law vitality:
Poor seed cannot produce good plants
and poor plants give poor returns or
none at all. Seed should always be-
tested before planting, and seed Of low
vitality rejected. Some Of this poor
seed is introduced to blend with good
iced SO that it can be sold at q lower:
price. Some Of the worst weeds We
have were introduced and spread in
this way: The. loss from the weeds and
the cost of fighting them is great and
is SO well understood as to need no
discussion.
Farmers often buy cheap seed think
ing that they are saving money, when
as a matter Of fact they are paying
two or three times as much for the
small amount Of good seed obtained as
the would pay had they bought good
seed in the first place at twice the rate
Der pound paid for the poor seed.-A.
