LOST! A BOY!

Not kidnapped by bandits and
hidden in a cave Ito weep and
starve and rouse nation to
frenzied searching! We're that
the case one hundred thousand
men would rise to the rescue if
need be.
Unfortunately the losing of
the lad is without any dramatic
excitement, though. very sad and
very real. The fact is, his IA
Their lost him! Being too busy to
sit with him at the fireside and
answer trivial questions during
the years when fathers are the
great and only heroes of boys,
he let go his hold upon him! Yes,
his mother lost him! Being
much engrossed in her teas, din
ners and club programs, she let
the maid hear the boy say his
prayers and thus her grip slipped
and the boy was lost to the home.
Aye! his church lost him! Being
so much occupied with sermons
for the wise and elderly who paw
the bills, and having good care
for dignity, the ministers and
elders were unmindful of the
feelings of the boy in the pew,
and made no provision in sermon
or song or manly sport for his
boyishness, and so the church
and many sad-hearted parents
are now looking earnestly for
the lost boy.
He must be found! He can be
found! Found just where those
two careless but pious parents
en- route from worship in Jerusa-
lem found their lost Boy. In that
particular spot in the church
where interested men were will
ing to meet Him and answer in
simple fashion the direct cues,
tons of His awakening manhood
concerning the realities of life
and duty. Here is where the
lost boy will be found by men
who are willing to look for him.

CONGRESSMAN SIMS

Congressman Sims has a bill
to prohibit the transmission OF
bets on race horses by interstate
commerce, by telephone or tele-
graph.
Only two states, Kentucky and
Maryland, now permit race horse
gambling, and Mr.. Sims bill
would prohibit people outside
these states from betting unless
they were at the tracks in
person.
Very few, if any, people in the
Eighth congressional district,
which Mr.. Sims represents, ever
do any betting on the races, and
if any of them ever place a bet
it is probably when they are at
the tracks in person.
The Sims bill does not concern
the people of the Eighth district,
and we believe that Mr.. Sims
could find better use for his time
than in pushing such measures.
He might, it seems, be doing
something for the people who
have honored him with ter
elections to Congress.

THE JACKSON Y. M. C. A.

AS a rule, Paris people would
not be very much interested in
what is being done at Jackson,
but when something is being
done at Jackson that could be
done-and ought to be done-in
Paris, our people should, if they
are not, be interested.
Under the head What Jack
son Y. M. G. A. Does" the Jack
son Sun a few days ago printed
an outline of the Y. M. G. A.
work being carried on in that
city.
Among other things mentioned
in the article are the Swimming
and Life Saving Club, where
boys between the ages of ten
and seventeen years are taught
to swim as well as to save their
companions when in danger of
drowning; the dormitory Mems
Club, which meets monthly for
supper with a program of social
and educational nature and
which more recently has added a
Bible study department; the
Military Club, which means pre-
paredness and which is as thor
ough in its training as national
guards or U. S. army; the shop
meetings, where hundreds of
men and boys not only hear the
gospel but practical talks of
varied nature each week; Bible
classes; visits to manufacturing
plants and factories, where the
manufacture of many different
articles is explained to the boys;
the employment department,
through which work is obtained
for boys and young men; the
religious department, which is
active through its Bible study,
mems gospel meetings. Jail meet
ings, personal interviews and
extension work, and the educa.
tional classes offered by the
association.
Ali of this good work could be
going on right here in Paris if
we had Y. M. C. A. We
should have a Y. M. C. A. and
this work should be going on.

THE WAITE CASE

Guilty of murder in the first
degree" was the verdict of the
Jury in the case of DR.. Arthur
Warren Waite. charged with
poisoning his father-in-law, John
E. Peck.
The young dentist confessed
to having administered the poison
and said that for months he had
been planning to kill his father
in-law and that he had tried to
accomplish this in various ways,
being unsuccessful until he used
poison. He said he killed Peck
for his money.
Waite's crime was so horrible
and revolving that many believed
him insane. To bolster up this
theory the defense INTRODUCED
witnesses to show that he had
been a moral imbecile" since a
youth; that his life had consisted
of lying, stealing, cheating and
killing.
If the newspapers reported
the evidence correctly and that
evidence is to be believed, Waite
could hardly have been a sane
man. If he is insane he should
not be sent to the electric chair.
In fact, there are in the United
States thousands of people-and
the number is growing-who do
not believe in the death penalty
as punishment for crime. They
do not believe that the state
should demand a life for a life,
and can see no justice in adding
a second murder to the first.
Regardless of whether the
death penalty is right or wrong,
however. every indication is that
Waite is insane.
Should the depraved man be
confined in an asylum he would
never have another opportunity
TO commit murder or OF h e r
crimes; alienists could make a
study of his case and more good
to the human race could be ac-
complished than in electrocuting
him.

BAILEY COMES BACK

For many years there has been
a saying that politicians, like
pugilists, never come back.
Former Senator Joseph w.
Bailey, of Texas, has now es-
tablished the fact that this is
incorrect, that politicians can
and do come back" Senator
Bailey himself has come back. !"
Several years ago the states
man retired from the Senate
because of the radical tendencies
of the times. However, after
ward he went before the Texas
State Democratic convention and
urged to adoption of a platform
declaring against woman suffrage
and national prohibition. The
convention would have none of
Bailey. His platform was voted
down almost by reclamation.
Time changes. A few years
roll by and now we find Senator
Bailey in complete control of the
Texas Democratic convention.
A few days ago he had declara-
tons against woman suffrage
and national prohibition written
into the platform.
Bailey is a statesman. He
made a great record in the SEN
ate and had it not been for his
flirting with the Standard Oil
Company, Bailey might be in the
White House today.
Anyway, politicians can come
back" and the former Senator
is again running the Lone Star
Democracy. To say the least of
it, the Texas Democracy could be
in worse hands.
