the government in which they are some
day to have a share.
It is recognized that to establish
democracy means taking chance; but
it has preferred to take that chance
desperate though it has seemed at times,
than to have adopted the other and more
dangerous alternative, the building up Of
governing autocracy which would try
to prevent other men from joining it.
II the South wants autocratic govern
ment, it is in the power of the southern
states to get it, but it must be an
autocracy of education, including white
and black alike.
But in the long run, the wide franchise
of the North with compulsory education
as its safeguard, seems the wiser policy.

What Se0sickness Really Is

Warden Allen Sets a Fine
Example On Side of Humanity

Whoever may have killed the wife of
Edmund Allen. warden of Joliet peniten-
tiary, and it would seem to be the work
of q mailman, it would be terrible mis-
carriage of humanity to punish all the
men in the various prisons who have
proved themselves worthy. by taking
away from them the opportunity to
make good" through the honor system.
Prison reform has made such splendid
strides within the last few years, ana
the real brotherhood of man has had its
most shining example in this form of
humanity, that the act of one brutal
creature or irresponsible lunatic should
not be allowed to set back the world.
Our entire legal code is framed up with
the desire and intention of Furnishing the
guilty and protecting the innocent, and
no one in the heat Of indignation at thi'
foul act should sweep away the long labor
Of love and painstaking effort which has
brought our prisons to higher level and
helped them to turn out again citizens
with kindness rather than hate and Bit
terness in their hearts.
It il said that Warden Allen will not
reject the honor system, and if he. with
this terrible grief rending his heart, can
be just andimanly enough to see things
in all fairness, there is no excuse for
others to vent their indignation in a
wholesale condemnation of all convicts.

BOYS LIKE TO OWN THINGS
Give Your Son Possessions That He
May Keep" and He Will Treas
ure Them.

The average boy believes firmly in
the principle Of the private ownership
of personal property He would rather
be the sole possessor Of broken
handled knife with no blades than d
pearl handled, four-bladed affair in
partnership. asserts Thomas W. Lloyd
in the Mothers Magazine.
In fact, the desire to own something
to possess property-is inherent in
all mankind. And mothers should en-
deayor to foster this desire. 1t will
not only increase the boys happiness,
but will teach him the value Of acqui-
sition, within proper limits. He
should have his own playthings, his
own tools. his own books, his own
clothes, and place of his own In
which to keep them.
A boy who Is permitted to do this
will take better care OF things than IL
owned In partnership, and he will
learn eagerly to have place for his
things and to keep them in their
place And this is valuable lesson.
