Safety First, Leagues Cry

The National Security League. re-
Gently organized in New York, rapidly is
extending its work throughout the United
states and is meeting with a hearty re-
Spouse TO the appeal for general aNah-
ening TO the military needs OF the couh-
try. The appeal of secretary Garrison
and former Secretary Stimson in New
York recently before strictly nonpar-
tisan audiences greatly stimulated the
movement. and many organizations such
as the Civic Federation. the Economics
Club. the Republican Club. the Union
League Club and the Merchants Asso-
citation of New York have approved the
demand for the immediate consideration
Of our military needs. The organiza-
tions named have an aggregate member
ship Of nearly 10."1 This is more than
the total membership Of all the sixty
peace-at-any-p societies in the
United States.
4. B. Humphrey, executive secretary
of the league, has been in Washington
for several days comforting with promi-
nont men in and out of Congress with
reference to existing conditions Of mill
tary preparedness or unpreparedness In
tho light of present world conditions.
Il have been aStoniShcd at the free
dom of the candid discussion among the
men | meet in Washington as TO the
necessity OF a national awakening Of the
citizens OF the United States, especially
at a time like this. when the world out
look is So critical" said Mr.. Humphrey.
Il have been profoundly impressed and
gratified to note the entire absence of
partisan spirit in the consideration
of this matter. and have found evidence
everywhere of a determination to uphold
the President and Congress in every
emergency that may arise.
The speeches in Congress have been
unusually calm and conciliatory concern
ing certain conditions, and vet there
has been and is a strong undercurrent
Of patriotic determination to uphold the
government in asserting its rights and

Just A Little Mother

She's Just little mother in cabin far away;
Since kissed her in the cleaning tits forever and
day.
In my dream hear her calling calling DER the
weary sea,
Come We back to Ballyshannon, Katy dear, come
back to me.'
She's standing in the doorway, filling up the
little space,
With kerchef DER her bosom and the frills around
her face;
She is smiling as Our Lady smiles above the
Holy Child,
And my heart runs forth to meet her, DER the
wastes of water wild.
Do you know our Ballyshannon where the very
winds sweet
With the sadness of the sea-foam and the tang of
smouldering peat9
Do you know the mists that fold US in blanket
soft and gray
Then you've seen the little mother, just herself,
so small and old,
With look Pm sure would warm you, were YOU
shivering with the cold,
Oh so mirthfu and so patient, she, whose work
is never done,
Oh, so ready with her laughter, at the rise and
set of sun.
In the great house where Pm serving, folks are
ever kind to me.
But they do not guess my yearning for the cabin
over sea.
Wage earn and wage send her. Yet can not
longer bide.
l must seek my little mother, 1 must nestle at
her side.
She's just little mother in cabin far away;
Since kissed her in the cleaning tits forever
and day.
In my dreams she's calling, calling! Mother dar-
ling, yes, I'll come
I'll go back to Ballyshannon, to my mother and
my home Exchange.

man who was prisoner in the Ionia Prison,
Michigan, wrote letter to the inmates of the IL
lnois State Prison, in which he tells them some
thing about his fight to regain his standing in So
ciety, and of the hearty encouragement he receiv-
ed from all those with whom he came in contact.
For the benefit of those who feel as if the
world in general is against them, we reprint the
letter, which is taken from the Chronicle" that
they may see for themselves that that part of So
ciety worth while, will do their part if the effort
on the part of the ex- prisoner warrants it.

that old time sage in that bygone
age, to that nineteenth century

cHAUTAuQuA sEcRETARY's REPORT

CHAUTAUQUA SECRETARY'S REPORT
The Circle met for it's last regular
session of the year Sunday May End.
and was called to order by Pres. S.
The quotations in answer to roll-call
were especially good.
After roll-call the presidentspoke
briefly in explanation of the summer
vacation, and asked the members to
take advantages oft he opportunities
which it offered to boost for a big
ger and better Circle when the new
term opens next September. The
present term will close with an open
meeting, to be held on the after
noon of Sunday, May 18th. A spe-
cial program is in preparation for
this meeting. and the public is hearth
ly invited to come and see what the
Pierian Circle is doing.
Under the head of new business
Mr.. J. G., asked permission to read
a newspaper clipping relating the
success of former Chautauqua
member, now the President of
large manufacturing concern at the
state metropolis. TO those of the
older members who knew this for
mer Chautauquan, the news of his
success came as distinct pleasure,
though not as surprise. for while
with us he proved himself possessed
of ability of high order.
There being no further business
before the Circle the program for
the day was called.
The first paper, read by Mr.. A. c.
A.. on China; Her People and
Their Modes of Living" took his
hearers on short voyage through
a portion of the Chinese Empire
during the late ZOOS. Concerning
himself with the working class, the
writer pictured the heather Chinee"
in his home and daily life, with a
realism only TO be gotten from per-
sonal observation.
The second paper, by Mr.. S. &c,
entitled Bead Reflections on the
Cost of Living" proved to be a schol-
arly treatment of a much mooted
question, bringing out wildly the
relation of personal vanities and ex-
travagances to what may not i'm
properly be called the vital question
of this age. The high cost of living
is, in a measure. behind the present
lamentable conditions in Europe, if
not as the true cause, still as the
medium thru which that cause has
achieved dominance over the saner
thot of the struggling masses. 1t is
the hapless point around which a
vast amount of the political and
social unrest of the present decade
convulsed, and if, as the writer has
inferentially showed, it is point of
personal responsibility, the democ-
racy of the world have a load upon
their shoulders which they have
shirked to own for far too long.
The final paper on the program,
The Swedish Army and Navy" by
Mr.. A. G.. N, was an interesting re-
view of the present Military stand
ing of this Scandinavian country.
Mr.. N. closed his paper with beau
tiful description of the Swedish
Capital, not altogether free from
satire, as the following excerpt will
show; There are many quaint and
ancient customs in the, city; it's gov
eminent, for instance, is honest; and
it's restaurants serve food without
Tango music!''
Critic r. B. G. reported ably, az
usual after which the Circle adjourn
ed. r. F. Sec'y.

With only few, negligible exceptions, l have
been made to feel at home again. l think that
man is less embarrassed if he makes no attempt to
conceal his record. [ do not feel that people are
talking behind my back, for talk to them face to
face of my Imprisonment l state always that it is
behind me and that I'm going to keep it there.
There are no sore spots me, and l think that
counts great deal in the way the world treats
me-
Prison is no picnic, as we'll we know that
have been locked up. But the world likes to have
a take his medicine without kicking after
wards. believe if man will 90 outside and for
get his crouch, AID will look the world square in
the eye, their are enough fair-minded people on
earth to assure all of us new chances. Naturally,
man that has prison record to live down has to
be better man than the ordinary people if he
gains the confidence of the public. BUT HE CAN
GET HIS OLD PLACE BACK IF HE GOES
AFTER 1T WITH GRTTTED TEETH AND A
SMILE
Another thing have found out; the little
minded people are the ones to knock. The bigger
man u.s. the surer is an ex-convict to get square
deal from him. The pin-heads of the world are
in the minority. More and more men and women
other chance to prove himself The big-minded
people are apt to be big soued, too. We do not
ask for crutches We ask to be allowed to walk
alone and not to be tripped up. The fair-minded
people of the world are making the road clear
for us.
A week ago man who employees 10000 men
put his hand on my shoulder and said to me that
he had 200 ex-convicts working for him and that
IL. TT
told me they all we're making good, and that he
started every one of them right from where they
when they came to him. He did not 60 be-
hind the returns. By the way, he calls us men
that have made Mistakes That's friendly way
to look at it.
Two milionaires, a prominent lawer and
half dozen other successful men have come to me
and have shaken hands since Christmas and have
said to me that they have had registered numbers
in their pasts. They have come thru and have
made good.
The world is getting educated this subject
of prisoners. The people are looking for the
MAN inside the grey suit or stripes. And, after
ALL what ask is to be given fair chance to
prove that Here's luck to YOU
When you graduate, 60 out and look the world
squarely in the eye and smile. Leave the
spots behind They won't get you anything.
Don't kick. Grin. It's all in lifetime.'
The above, we believe is evidence enough to
convince others that even tho has been in pris
on if one means business after released from pris
on, the majority of people will extend the helping
hand. It's hard road to climb, one is bound to
meet with opposition at times, hut if but does
his part, we feel sure that such an one will have
the announcement and assistance from the people
worth while.
