Growing Better or wOr-es
AVOCA, Ia, Sept. 9.-To the Editor Of
The Bee Just now the gospel trumpet
Is being sounded in the city OF Omaha
with a vim and vigor that Is apparently
shaking the civilized world. Just what
Is accomplished from this source on the
spiritual side OF life goes unmeasured be-
cause the field is too large There are
too many ifs "ands" and 'isms" TO
get the real meat of the nut here. The
gospel assists in building spiritually,
while human laws are made TO help out
in the material world.
Il was In police court in the big city
the other day when the writer saw the
law indicated The first case called was
parking an auto against ordinance. time
limit being violated. This amounted to
little more than a fractured ordinance.
The next case consisted of drunken
ness and fighting; civilization lacking
here.
The light-fingered wretch known as the
shopifter appeared next, pleading guilty,
and was given twenty-five days in which
TO repent.
Another case was that OF n young girl,
whose blue eyes and fair features were
perhaps a mothers joy, guilty Of va
grancy. Two young men were with her
on the same charge. all their ages were
given as 10. travelling the road of ire
sponsibility together, and who was to
blame? Fingers yellowed by cigarette
smoking were strongly in eNAIence in this
case.
The dope flend appears next, who passed
as fortune teller in an effort to extract
money other than by means of the sweat
of brow. II there was a human soul
within the specimen Of humanity before
the bar of justice the countenance failed
TO reveal it.
Two young men lined up next classed
as buns" as their violation. The kindly
judge told them to hit the pike" go
west and grow up with the country as
penalty for their wrong-doing.
Another specimen of humanity APP
peared next whose head was white with
the frosts of many winters, charged with
being drunk, and whose declaration was
that he had only had two glasses of
beer. He was tenderly given thirty days.
The wife heater appeared in the arena
and received sixty days.
Two descendants of Ham. sisters were
lined up next charged with fighting. The
green-eyed monster, jealousy over hus-
bands. was the cause. The man sitting
in judgment told them shame. Go build
an unsurmountable wall, each brighten
ing their own little corner and SHINING no
more
Now comes two kleptomaniacs, who
had been accused of stealing wire, and
were convicted. Reformation was hoped
for by TWENTY-FIVE DAVIS in iail
Thus the big world moves, with in
formation on the one hand that it is
growing better, while on the other OBJ
servation leads us to believe 1t is srowing
worse, with the gospel and human law
as the main rule and guide to assist On
improving conditions in human life, but
who of us has the ability TO deal out the
proper doses? TEE j. AITCH.
